Product Description:
- The Frederick T. Frog, affectionately known as "Freddy," is a versatile, frog-shaped beanbag positioning aid designed by a NICU nurse to support infants' developmental needs.
- It can be placed around the head, neck, or hips, or used to position an extremity, providing tactile support during medical procedures or daily care. Available in two versions—washable/reusable and wipeable/reusable with launderable or single-use covers—Freddy is made from safe, durable, and easy-to-clean materials gentle on an infant's delicate skin.
How To Use:
- Positioning: Place Freddy around the infant's head, neck, or hips, or use it to support an extremity.
- Adjust portions of the aid separately to meet specific positioning needs.
- Freddy can also serve as an extra set of hands during procedures or assist with facilitated tucking.
Warnings And Precautions:
- Weight Consideration: Freddy weighs approximately 453.6 grams (1 pound).
- Ensure that its full weight is not placed directly on the infant.
- It should not be used as a substitute for other positioning aids like the Prone Plus.
- Supervision: Always use Freddy under the guidance of healthcare professionals trained in neonatal care to ensure the infant's safety and well-being.
