Imagine you're asleep and want to roll over, but as you do, someone replaces your pillow, blanket, and mattress—similar to what babies experience when the products touching them change. Naturally, you'd wake up and struggle to fall asleep again. But if everything stays the same, you'd simply roll over and keep sleeping.

The Zaky is warm and provides a familiar, secure environment. The Zaky® ZAK (when babies are held) and The Zaky® HUG (at all other times) offer a consistent experience that promotes proper positioning, nesting, scent of parents, and containment, ensuring smoother transitions and care, shift after shift. This consistency helps babies self-regulate, sleep, grow, heal, and develop.

The Zaky® is a versatile solution designed for use in any hospital unit, including NICUs, PICUs, CICUs, and mother-baby units.

The Zaky's ergonomic design supports safe, comfortable positioning for babies and toddlers, whether in cribs, incubators, or while being held.

From pregnancy to home, The Zaky® promotes healing, neuroprotection, and emotional bonding through soothing, non-pharmacologic methods, making it ideal for developmental care, skin-to-skin contact, and pain management.

It simplifies care processes, improves outcomes, and enhances the experience for patients, families, and healthcare teams across all hospital units.

The Zaky® is a proven, evidence-based, non-pharmacologic solution that enhances patient safety, self-regulation, family involvement, pain management, and outcomes 24/7: The Zaky ZAK® for safe holding, and The Zaky HUG® for all other times.

Developed by a PhD and NICU mom, The Zaky supports sleep, breastfeeding, pumping, comfort, development, positive sensory stimulation, and family engagement.

Risk Management: Reduces the risk of infant falls, injuries, and human errors.

The Zaky ZAK® enables safer, longer, and more comfortable kangaroo care sessions, maximizing the numerous benefits for both parents and babies.

The Zaky® streamlines your supply chain with just two products for 24/7 care.

• Ordering: The Zaky HUG has a universal size—simply choose a color. The Zaky ZAK comes in four adjustable sizes, each in a unique color for easy identification.
• Inventory: Easily track quantities by counting hands and ZAK colors (sizes).
• Infection Control: Follows the same laundry protocol as baby clothing.
• Storage: Simplified with only two products.
• Training: Learn once and focus on developmental and kangaroo care, instead of managing various product sizes and types.
• Quality Control: A standardized approach improves care consistency and quality control.

This efficiency reduces operational costs while enhancing safety and satisfaction for babies, parents, and staff.

We support independent research by providing training and Subject Matter Experts (SME).

We also advance science by doing research and turning evidence-based research into practical solutions that improve outcomes for babies and families.

As a published author and researcher, I've conducted studies focused on safety of kangaroo care devices, risk management for parents that may fall asleep during kangaroo care, enhancing the parental experience, benefiting both the baby and the healthcare team.

We list the studies that have been done using The Zaky products. Contact us if you know of studies or are planning a project involving The Zaky®.

Follow the same laundry protocols that you use for the clothing of the babies to care for The Zaky HUG® and The Zaky ZAK®, whether at home or in the hospital.

For optimal care, use the organic cotton wash bag that is included with the products, avoid artificial scents, and steer clear of harsh chemicals to maintain the products' softness and safety.

The Zaky® reduces healthcare costs by keeping babies safe and calm, minimizing unplanned interventions and medication use.

Calm babies eat, sleep, and feel better, promoting healing, growth, and brain development.

The Zaky ZAK® also reduces the risk of injuries and infant falls during holding, preventing incidents that can cost lives and millions in liability.

The Zaky® increases satisfaction by providing comfort and security to babies, reducing stress for both parents and caregivers.

The Zaky® reduces separation anxiety, feelings of helplessness, and frustration for both patients and parents, while also improving staff satisfaction by enhancing overall efficiency.

Its ergonomic design helps babies feel safe and calm, leading to better sleep, improved feeding, and overall well-being.

For parents, knowing their baby is comfortable and safe—whether held or in a crib—provides peace of mind.

Healthcare staff benefit from fewer unplanned interventions, easier handling, and the ability to focus more on care rather than managing complications.

This creates a positive experience for families and staff, enhancing overall satisfaction.

The Zaky® supports babies experiencing Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) or Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS) 24/7 by providing a non-pharmacologic solution that promotes comfort, reduces stress, and improves sleep.

The Zaky HUG’s ergonomic design mimics the feeling of a parent’s hand, offering a sense of security and soothing touch that helps babies calm down and self-regulate. This can be especially beneficial for babies dealing with withdrawal symptoms, which include irritability, difficulty sleeping, and discomfort.

Additionally, The Zaky ZAK supports skin-to-skin contact, which is proven to reduce the severity of withdrawal symptoms, improve neurodevelopmental outcomes, and support better bonding between parents and their babies.

By creating a consistent and comforting environment, The Zaky can help stabilize these infants, promote better sleep, attachment, which in turn ultimately reduce their dependence on pharmacological treatments leading to faster hospital discharge.
