Create prone, side-lying, and supine positionings to promote infant well-being
and stress-reduction
Properly prone

Select Prone Plus, SnuggleUp, and a Bendy
Bumper in the correct size. Place Prone Plus
into the SnuggleUp. (Prone Plus should be
no wider than infant’s nipple-to-nipple and
no lower than navel.)

Prone positioning can reduce lateral skull flattening and skin breakdown during extended hospital
stays. It also encourages flexor tone, active neck extension, and head-raising.

Hold and slowly rotate infant to prone,
midline position with Prone Plus, so that
the hands are toward the mouth for
self-soothing. Be sure hips are rounded
and feet are placed in the SnuggleUp.

Softly supine

Using hand containment, hold the infant
in midline flexion.

Move slowly (following infant’s cues) and
round the Bendy Bumper to rest against
the infant’s head to comfort and contain.
Bendy Bumper continues around the back
and outside of the SnuggleUp.

If the infant arches his or her head and neck,
Frederick T. Frog’s beads can be positioned
to apply more pressure and containment.
(“Freddy” is designed for weighted support;
do not place full weight on infant.)

An infant may be placed in supine position for treatment – or as “training”
to all-important back-to-sleep positioning before heading home.

Flex the infant’s legs and hips deep into
the pocket of the SnuggleUp, keeping feet,
legs, and hips aligned. Continue to use hand
containment, following the infant’s cues.

Side-lying support

Maintain a flexed position using hand
containment. Place the infant on her or his
side, providing support to the head while
aligning shoulder and hip. This alignment
is key.

Adjust straps to provide containment,
while also allowing for dynamic movement
at the hips first, then shoulders.

Adjust straps to provide containment,
while also allowing for dynamic movement

Keep the infant’s hands at the face for
self-comforting. Add a Bendy Bumper to
provide the boundary needed – and to
encourage flexion and natural resistance.

Frederick T. Frog can augment the
Bendy Bumper for support – or work alone
as a boundary for the infant’s head.
Moving the adjustable beads creates the
appropriate boundary height.

The challenge of the side-lying position is proper alignment. Shoulders are rounded
with hands near face. Hips are aligned and softly flexed. Feet are lightly braced.

Flex the infant’s legs and hips deep into
the pocket of the SnuggleUp, keeping feet,
legs, and hips well aligned. (The SnuggleUp
mimics the uterine wall.)

Adjust straps to provide containment,
while also allowing for dynamic movement
at the hips first, then the shoulders. Follow
the infant’s cues.

Add Bendy Bumper – match boundary
height to the infant.

A Bendy Bumper coupled with Frederick
T. Frog adjustable beads offers stability
and containment. (Do not place full weight
of “Freddy” on infant.)
