The story of our cocoons and our values
The origin of our cocoons
Pediatric nurses, we have worked for many years in a neonatal intensive care unit, specializing in the care of babies born prematurely or with difficult births.
Aware of the comfort and well-being of our little patients, and conscious of the constraints imposed on babies by premature or difficult births, we have undergone additional training based on observing baby behavior and understanding their language (Nidcap).
The goal of this care program is to optimize the neurological and motor development of babies born too early by reducing stress, meeting their specific needs, and doing so in collaboration with their family.
The many hours spent at their bedside understanding and analyzing their behavior have allowed us to best target their needs to improve their well-being and development.
Cocoons that make life easier for new parents
Our daily work as caregivers for these fragile babies, our sensitivity as mothers, and our Nidcap observations have given us the desire to create adapted products to make their lives easier, improve their comfort, and their well-being.
Expanding the collection by adapting it to each stage of the baby's journey quickly seemed obvious to us in order to support them throughout their development (from the hospital to their return home). Making these products available to parents, individually or as kits containing the essentials, seemed indispensable to us to allow them to be involved in their baby's care regardless of the hospital where they are admitted.
The Values of Ouatine & Cumulus
Creativity
Designed and developed with passion to meet a demand, our products aim torecreate the sensations of the uterine cocoon as much as possible(softness, warmth, elasticity...). They invite the baby to snuggle in without risk from the constraints related to their environment and care. With that little detail that makes the difference.
Kindness
Because the skin of these little ones is fragile, we pay particular attention to thechoice of materials, and ensure thequality of the finishes... such as the absence of seams to promote contact with soft materials. Our products are a100% Belgian creation, entirely handmade.
Listening
Because our goal is to provide our little clients withthe most suitable productsfor their stage of development, we are constantly listening to you. We also pay particular attention to the feedback and advice of health specialists, thanks to whom our products are constantly evolving.
