Soothing Babies at Birth
our commitment to babies
As part of our commitment to support NICUs, we donate Dream Weighted Swaddles to hospitals caring for newborns with NAS. Our goal is to offer a safe and soothing solution while reducing the amount of medication needed to treat withdrawal symptoms.
Dreamland’s gently weighted wearable blankets have been used in some NICUs as part of a soothing strategy, under medical supervision and for short periods of time. At home, however, these products are intended for longer overnight use in cribs, and parents should accordingly ensure they are used according to the recommended age and weight guidelines
National data indicates that one baby is born with signs of NAS every 15 minutes in the United States.
What is Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome?
Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) is a group of problems that can happen when babies are exposed to drugs in the womb before birth. Babies going through NAS suffer from gastrointestinal dysfunction, temperature instability, and central nervous system problems, such as tremors, high-pitched crying, and seizures.
