HOP Baby® PROP NEST is a one-of-a-kind product designed to provide preterm babies with age-appropriate proprioceptive stimulation as well as comfort, a sense of security, and tactile stimulation.
 
The Proprioceptive Nest serves two functions. It can accommodate the need for critical baby monitoring with attachments to the leg. You can use the same device by changing its orientation if you believe your baby is stable and age-appropriate proprioceptive stimulation can be given to build up lower extremity muscle tone.
 
Furthermore, it will provide an opportunity for self-regulation and will continue to provide a feeling of intrauterine environment. It will serve as a way to reduce stress for the immature and developing baby in the hectic NICU environment.
 
Proprioceptive stimulation improves bone mineralization in premature babies and aids in the prevention of prematurity osteopenia. It also aids in gaining daily weight, improving sleep quality, and selforganization.
