November is Prematurity Awareness month and we wanted to share how Comfort Silkie makes a difference for preemies in the NICU. As a Comfort Therapist and founder of Comfort Silkie company I design products and education that empower parents to soothe their babies in the NICU. For the past two decades, bringing comfort to precious preemies and their parents has been our mission. The NICU can be an intimidating and heart rendering environment. Simple comfort techniques make life-long emotional markers for both baby and parents. Comfort Silkie’s Original patented Security Blanket is recommended by Neonatologists and NICU Nurses around the country to enhance bonding and create a scent connection. This small comfort blanket is designed with special features that soothe: The cuddly flannel feels like soft skin and the silkie satin feels like the fluid within the womb. The small, light weight size is easy to work with and easily absorbs parent’s unique comfort scent. The Comfort Silkie encourages normal nurturing interaction and help parents feels connected and close to baby. The Comfort Silkie encourages self comfort behaviors that will continue with baby’s ongoing care and development.Additional Preemie recommended products: The Silkie Nest: Provides soft boundaries and silkie comfort touch. Infant Swaddler: Designed to comfort “womb wrap” baby: preemie and regular size. Comfort Message Isolette/Blanket Cover: Write your love message on the satin side and use to cover isolate. When baby leaves the NICU it can be used as a blanket and memory item.

"I bring high risk babies into this world, but I am glad to know that we have such a valuable partner in Comfort Silkie." Dr D. Adair, Director of Maternal Fetal Medicine
"Nothing can replace a parent’s love and gentle embrace, but Comfort Silkie is the next best thing. I am a NICU nurse, babies need comforting and soothing touch especially under stress, such as prematurity or other life threatening medical problems. Comfort is a powerful medical treatment." P. Ferenbacher RN
"My baby was born at 25 weeks gestation. I took a Comfort Silkie to her while she was in the NICU for 4.5 months. It was so soft and soothing for her to lay on and even though she couldn’t be home with us she had her mommy’s scent with her. I love your products!" C.K.
“I am Neonatal RN, your Comfort Silkie’s are the perfect thing for our tiny babies.” A. Qick RN
