The adjustable rocking motion is ideal for babies who need cradling to settle. For more health benefits, please see the Medical Considerations section of these FAQ.

Medical Considerations
Can BabyUp® treat my baby’s reflux?
-
It is designed by doctors for reflux relief. However, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional for a comprehensive treatment plan.
Can BabyUp® help with other aspects of my baby’s health?
-
Absolutely! Its angle helps them breathe more easily when they have a cold or bronchitis. It also promotes cognitive development as your baby can explore their surroundings and interact with ease from its ideal height and position. In case of congenital stiff neck an infant lying on its back will inevitably turn its head contracting its stiff side: with BabyUp@ you can gently change the side to the one that needs a gentle stretch, as advised by your health provider. Finally, it helps reinforce the neck muscles, just like during tummy-time, minus the risk of putting your baby on its tummy!
Does BabyUp® require a prescription?
-
No, it does not require a prescription, but it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider before use.
Can BabyUp® cause allergies or reactions?
-
BabyUp® is generally safe to use with infants, however, should your baby suffer from specific allergies do check the fabric and frame materials in our online Owner’s Manual to make sure it is safe for your baby.
Can I use BabyUp® if my baby has other medical conditions?
-
BabyUp® is designed by doctors for babies with acid reflux. However, if you have specific concerns always consult with your paediatrician before use, especially if your baby suffers from other medical conditions.
