I love reading about these new products that people come up with. This is a neat idea, but it would be so easy to make one yourself out of an old shirt, or blanket…..read for yourself:
The Snoedel, (a Dutch term, pronounced Snoodle, meaning Snuggle), is a unique doll like sleeping and bonding aid. The Snoedel enables the parent to start a relationship with the baby even before birth. By keeping the Snoedel close to a parent’s skin, the parents scent is absorbed through the special wool and all natural fabrics used in creating the doll. When the baby is born, the Snoedel is given to the newborn providing the feeling that mom or dad is always near.
The wool that is used for the head is pure, cleaned, combed and more absorbent. The fabric used for the original Snoedel is 100% cotton flannel. Snoedels can be washed, dried and sterilized if the need arises.
The Snoedel doll is made with such high quality, many hospitals are using them in their neonatal units throughout the USA. The first hospital was the Arnold Palmer Children’s Hospital of Orlando, Florida who found that the Snoedel was particularly helpful for premature babies who are often separated from their parents right after birth.
