Small Beginnings Diana Bed Buddy
Positioning aids provide therapeutic and optimal positioning for premature babies in the Neonatal Unit. Our neonatal positioning aids also provide great comfort, as a cosy and secure environment for babies is created – reducing stress and promoting relaxation.
By emulating the womb’s environment, positioning aids encourage healthy musculoskeletal development. They also support the spine’s natural curvature and mitigate the risk of external postural deformities.
The Diana Bed Buddy, is designed to keep an infant’s legs tucked. The Diana version was named after where it was created, the Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby. While representatives from Central Medical Supplies and Small Beginnings were visiting the hospital, they saw that nurses were piling up blankets to keep the legs of infants in a tucked position. With the help of these nurses, the Diana Bed Buddy style was developed.
