Make sure your babocush’s vibration and heartbeat functions are on before placing your baby on the babocush. Introduce your baby to the babocush while they are in a good mood. This will help them to calmly get more familiar with using the cushion. You can place a familiar smelling soft blanket over you baby’s back for added comfort (unless it’s very warm already) and if your baby uses a pacifier, ensure that your baby is using it. You can use the babocush on its own on a non-slip surface or you can use it in conjunction with a rocker/bouncer.

The babocush comes complete with:

- Shaped foam mattress

- Outer fleece cover with harness - Quilted mattress protector

- 3 x speed vibration with heartbeat sounds

What isn’t included?

Rocker is not included. Rocker must be purchased separately.

Batteries are not included. The vibrator requires 2 x 1.5v ‘C’ batteries.

When putting your baby onto the Babocush, make sure to position their head to one side and check the harness. Ideally, your baby would be secured onto the babocush and settle instantly, as some babies do (don’t believe us? Just watch this). Don’t panic if your baby doesn’t settle straight away, as some babies take more time to get used to the babocush than others. Make sure the heart simulator is active when you put your baby on the cushion, as the noise will help soothe them. If the cushion is attached to a rocker, turn it on as the added motion of this also helps to settle some newborns. Babies react well to familiar voices, try talking or singing to your baby or making gently ‘shhh’ noises beside your baby.

When you first begin using the Babocush, try it in short bursts at first. It’s important to remember that while you’re introducing something new, you are also bringing back comforts from the womb. Over time your baby will be more and more comfortable on the cushion, especially if they suffer from colic or reflux. 

Thousands of babies have benefited from the babocush cushion and if it takes your baby a while longer don’t worry – for some parents perseverance really is the key to success.

Yes! The babocush encourages your baby to rest on their stomach allowing for your baby to experience tummy time easily and hassle-free!

It can be used on a non-slip floor surface up until your baby is 6 months old or 21 pounds / 9.5 kilos, although after 3 months, your baby will look rather large on the babocush. The sooner your baby uses the babocush the more they’ll love it.

Please note, the babocush was safety tested on babies up to 3 months old at the time of manufacture, however, since our launch date a lot of customers got in touch to ask if they could continue to use the babocush for their babies after 3 months. Due to the high number of enquiries about this, we had safety testing carried out for babies up to 6 months old and since that time; it has now been certified safe for babies aged 0-6 months.

Yes the babocush needs 2x 1.5v C batteries for the heartbeat and vibrations.

You may find it useful to place a muslin cloth or bib under your baby’s head area in order to catch any spills and to save having to wash the fleece cover as often. Unzip the babocush fleece cover, remove the mattress protector and machine wash at 30 degrees. We do not recommend that you tumble dry the cover. The foam and vibrating soother should simply be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary.

Babocush are proud sponsors of TinyLife, the premature baby charity for Northern Ireland. TinyLife are actively promoting the babocush to all their parents of premature babies. The babocush is loved by premature babies who tend to suffer particularly badly with reflux and colic. It is also great for twins and multiple births – you can place your baby on the babocush right after feeding and it will take care of your baby’s wind so you don’t have to, meaning you can tend to the next baby straight away.

While the Babocush is designed for your baby’s comfort, it is not a place intended for sleeping or for your baby to lie on unattended. If your little one does fall asleep on the babocush, simply lift them gently and lay them in their crib, cot or bed to continue their sleep on their back.

The babocush gives your baby tummy time in a very natural, comfortable position and as long as the safety instructions are carefully followed, your baby can stay on it for as long as they are comfortable to do so. Never leave your baby unattended when on the babocush and always ensure their head is facing to the side.

The babocush has been manufactured to a high standard and has undergone rigorous safety testing, risk assessments and flammability testing, for your peace of mind.

Please read the user instructions carefully and email us on info@babocush.com should you have any concern.
