A Review By Real Moms Review Panel Member: Jacquie Engbrecht

When I first received my Zaky Hand pillow from CaSeraSera, I was definitely intrigued by this unique idea of having a pillow shaped like your own arm and hand to use with your infant. As I read about this creative product, I discovered that the inventor was a mother and a doctor who had a premature baby and longed to be able to hold her little one, while being unable to - and so the Zaky hand was born. When I saw pictures of the Zaky hand being used to “hold” a tiny little baby in an incubator, it tugged at my heart strings!

This pillow could not only be scented with your own smell by simply wearing it around your neck for a few hours, but you could also warm it up in the dryer and your baby could have the feeling of being held by mom or dad or another loved one, even if they were unable to actually do so. The testimonials of parents with premature babies who used the Zaky hand were endless as they shared the immense relief they felt by being able to provide this comfort for their baby. I would definitely recommend this product for anyone with a premature baby or to buy as a gift for anyone you know you has had a preemie. I think we all know how important touch and the familiar smell of mom or dad are to a newborn to feel safe and protected, who is already surrounded by so much of the unknown.

As for my husband and I, we were blessed to have a full-term, healthy 8 pound baby who thankfully didn’t have to spend hours away from us at the hospital and who we could hold ourselves as often as we desired, but we discovered some other creative ways to use the Zaky hand. Our little boy Justice likes to have his head held in our hands, so sometimes we would “trick” him into thinking our hand was still there by slipping the Zaky pillow underneath his head or by laying it across his tummy to hold his blanket in place.

Most often we use it laying along one side so he can just feel it there and smell my scent or to prop him on his side, a position he sometimes likes to sleep in. However, since he gained weight quickly after birth, if you also have a healthy full-term baby, I would recommend buying two Zaky pillows - you can purchase both a right and left hand - which would provide better support if you wish to use them to help position your baby.

There are seriously far too many benefits and different ways you can use the hand then I could possibly mention here, so I encourage you to check out the website www.zakeez.com for more information, instructions and pictures of its many uses - then visit www.CaSeraSera.com to purchase yours today!
