Restless sleep (1–4 months). In this phase, your baby becomes more sensitive to stimuli, movement, and the startle reflex. Because of this, many babies wake up faster.
Many parents therefore opt for swaddling. This can provide temporary relief, but restricts movement and must Stop as soon as your baby can roll.

The thickness of a standard mattress is 10 cm. Is the mattress thicker than 15 cm? If so, please contact us at klantenservice@feddekees.nl for the correct size advice!
Deep pressure is a form of deep touch pressure stimulus that is often used as a therapeutic technique.
The NUNKI sheet works on the principle of deep pressure. Deep pressure is an even pressure that goes deeper than the superficial skin layers. A stimulus that penetrates to the deeper skin layer and even muscles and joints stimulates the enteroceptors and proprioceptors. You then become more aware of your own body and turn inwards, causing environmental stimuli to be perceived less.
For example: if an insect crawls across your arm, it feels like a stimulus from outside. It tickles, and you react by moving your arm. A firm massage (deep pressure), on the other hand, helps you sink more into your body and relax. A firm cuddle has the same effect.
The NUNKI sheet provides deep pressure on your child's upper body. This helps your child relax better and process stimuli. As a result, your child falls asleep faster and sleeps longer.
Can NUNKI be combined with another baking method?
Yes, that is possible. The combination with swaddling works optimally, as it addresses both the cause and the consequences of restlessness. Swaddling tackles the symptoms: it ensures your baby cannot flail their arms. The Nunki sheet addresses the cause: the deep pressure provides security and containment, making the child calmer.
The NUNKI swaddle can be combined with ALL swaddling methods.
