Welcome to The Zaky Family: A Safe and Loving Start for You and Your Baby

Congratulations for choosing The Zaky ZAK®. We are honored that you’ve trusted us to be part of your baby’s care.

The Zaky ZAK® is engineered with love and expertise to provide your baby with a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment to hold the baby skin-to-skin or clothed.

The Power of Your Touch:

The Zaky ZAK® is more than just a wrap; it’s a safety tool engineered to help you deeply connect with your baby from birth through about three months after their due date.

Evidence shows that your body not only soothes your baby but also promotes sleep and supports critical brain development.

With The Zaky ZAK® your baby feels your chest, experiencing a sense of calm, connection, and security—all of which are essential for healthy feeding, growth, and overall development.

Engineered with Care:

The Zaky ZAK® is the only device engineered to ergonomically support babies weighing from 1 to 15 lbs., ensuring they are held securely and comfortably, whether during skin-to-skin care or while clothed. Created by a [kangaroo] mom of Zach, who is also a Ph.D. in ergonomics and safety engineering, The Zaky ZAK® is informed by both professional expertise and personal experience.

Grandparents hold them skin-to-skin.

The Zaky ZAK® creates a consistent, soothing environment to co-regulate and sleep more easily. With your permission, loved ones like grandparents can use The Zaky ZAK® to hold the baby skin-to-skin or clothed, sharing in the bonding experience.

As I always say, "Any healthy chest is better than a mattress." Babies know their parents and won’t confuse bonding with others for parental connection.

Feeling love from family is healthy and positive, especially the special bond between grandparents and their little ones. Skin-to-skin care helps your baby feel secure, loved, and calm.

Warnings: Ensure These Five Conditions for Safe Holding Are Met

Always adhere to these safety recommendations, and only use The Zaky ZAK® as per the instructions from Nurtured by Design, Inc. and a qualified professional knowledgeable in skin-to-skin care.
Monitor vital signs and consult medical teams for infants with special needs or medical devices. Proper use of The Zaky ZAK® enhances safety and comfort, but always prioritize supervision by a qualified adult, and follow the safety conditions below.

  • Select the size of The Zaky ZAK® that fits your body.

    Wear The Zaky ZAK® with the zipper positioned slightly to one side in the front, ensuring it is fully closed before handling the baby for transfer. The Zaky ZAK® stretches to fit the baby, keeping them securely contained.

  • The baby is in the proper kangaroo care position.

    Periodically check for proper posture to ensure optimal comfort and safety for you and the baby, promote their healthy breathing, support musculoskeletal and brain development, and enhances bonding through skin-to-skin contact.

  • You are sitting or reclined

    You should be sitting or reclined during skin-to-skin contact to ensure both you and your baby are in a comfortable, safe, and stable position that prevents you to roll over, promotes relaxation, proper breathing, and secure bonding.

  • The zipper of The Zaky ZAK® is fully closed

    The zipper must be fully closed during skin-to-skin to keep the baby secure and prevent slipping. Partially open it for breastfeeding or interventions while keeping the baby supported with your hands.

  • Another adult supervises your session.

    Another qualified adult should supervise your session to ensure the baby's safety, offer assistance, and monitor the baby’s well-being throughout the skin-to-skin session. No exceptions.

How to Use The Zaky ZAK®:

  • Wear It: Adjust The Zaky ZAK® to your size, close the zipper, and then gently transfer your baby. Doing each step separately minimizes errors and ensures your baby’s safety. Download the 2-page instructional here.
  • Wash, Dry, Store: Wash The Zaky ZAK® in a washing bag, avoiding artificial scents and harsh chemicals. It’s safe to wash with your baby’s other items.
  • Warm It (Optional): For added comfort, warm The Zaky ZAK® in a towel warmer or dryer before use.
  • Access the Baby: Fold it down, fold it up, or partially open the zipper to access your baby quietly and with minimal disruption. When finished, cover your baby up to the earlobe and close the zipper for safety.
  • After Skin-to-Skin Contact: Keep wearing The Zaky ZAK® to be ready for the next kangaroo care session.
  • Prepare Naturally: Limit the use of chemicals or fragrances on your skin and The Zaky ZAK®. Consider using our natural/organic products from The Zaky ZEN® line (sold separately).
