Key Findings

Reflux: Reflux affects up to 50% of babies and is caused when the valve in your baby’s digestive system is immature and does not close properly after opening, causing food to mix with the stomachs acids and come back up. The Momby baby support ensures that your baby is in the correct position while feeding, reducing the risk of vomiting and reflux. Also by keeping your baby in the Momby and in the upright position for 30 minutes after  feeding, this should help your baby’s food go down and stay down.

Colic: Colic affects approximately 25% of babies. It is not known what exactly causes colic, however one of the reasons reported is a build-up of wind in baby’s tummy. This can be due to poor winding or inconsistant milk flow and can be caused by your baby being in the incorrect feeding position. Momby baby support
ensures that your baby is in a comfortable upright position, alleviating the build-up of trapped wind while feeding.

Flat Head Syndrome: To ensure a safe delivery through the birth canal, the bones in the babies head are soft.  Some babies develop a persistent flat spot either in the back or on one side of the head.  This can occur when a baby remains in the same position repeatedly or because of problems with neck muscles due to the delivery.

Post -Partum Back Pain: Approximately 30-40% of mothers complain of post-partum backache. To prevent backache while breast-feeding mothers are
advised to bring their baby to the breast, rather than bending over your baby. This can be difficult to achieve. However, the Momby baby support due to its
ergonomic shape and design, ensures that your baby is brought towards the breast when your natural instinct is to gravitate down towards your baby, putting a
strain on your back. Mothers who have C/Sections can use the Momby baby support to prevent pressure been put on the scar, reducing discomfort while feeding.

Breast feeding: The Momby is invaluable in assisting with the establishment of breast-feeding.  It provides a safe and secure place for your baby, with its head, neck and back been supported. When mothers know that their baby is supported they can concentrate on getting the baby to latch on.  Using one arm to support the Momby baby support and baby, you can now use the other hand to ensure your baby latches on correctly.
