How SnoozeShade for Cot Beds works
SnoozeShade for Cot Beds has adjustable top and side panels so that you can adjust light levels to suit your baby.
When all the panels are zipped up or lowered 94% of light is blocked and visual distractions are blurred which helps baby to sleep. Our air permeable mesh allows air to circulate but this also means that we cannot promise 100% blackout. However, we often hear that babies who will normally only sleep in blackout will sleep in their SnoozeShade.
The reason a baby stays awake is often due to what they see (visual stimuli) during a sleep cycle, so the calm environment of SnoozeShade bores them to sleep as there is nothing exciting to see.
There are 4 ways you can use SnoozeShade for Cot Beds
1) Top panel open: SnoozeShade has a large top panel which unzips, allowing you to easily view or access your child. Please store this panel in the top pocket provided when it is not in use.
2) Both side panels down and top open: Baby won't be distracted by activities going on around, whilst you can view baby easily from above.
3) Top panel closed: This blocks out overhead light and creates a cosy environment to help babies sleep, free from distractions. When the top panel is closed it also gives protection from insects and cats and stops little ones from climbing out.
4) Side panels up or down: You can choose to have one or both side panels raised or lowered to make the cot as dark or light as you prefer. The side panels are adjustable and can be raised or lowered as preferred using the straps provided.
