Primarily our tiny Miniboos are being used with babies who are born too soon. They are part of the developmental care programme on the NICU or SCBU in UK hospitals. When babies are in the incubators, and poorly, it is advised not to over handle. This means mummies and daddies cannot always have those precious cuddles that help with the important parent/baby bonding process. This is where Miniboo & Cuskiboos come in.. Mummy keeps Miniboo on her person to pick up all those lovely mummy smells and then places it next to baby in the incubator, baby can smell mummy and keep swapping the 2 Miniboos so mummy can smell baby too, which in turn, if breast feeding, will help the milk flow. Research from midwives have also noted Miniboo has helped lower baby's blood pressure. Can also be used with twins that have been separated.

I am Kirsty, age 5. I still have my Cuski Boo which I have had since I was born. I call him Little Boo and I sleep with him in bed. He smells lovely, he is still soft and I want to keep him always. I love him.

If I could rate this product higher than 5 start I would! My son Oliver has been a Cuski fan since birth. We have used Cuski with him from day one at the hospital. He has always been a content baby, and a great sleeper. No dummy needed! At 18 months Oliver now has a Cuski with him wherever he goes!

Recently a cousin of mine had a baby born at 25 weeks. I gave her a Miniboo as a gift as well as a Mini Swandoodle. Mom slept with it for a few days and on the night she had to leave without her son she gave it to him. She switched on and off daily between the Miniboo Cuski Lovie and the Mini Swandoodle. The baby is doing great, and his lungs are developing fine. The nurses attributed his success in part to the comfort of moms scent. Mom was also grateful to have something that smells like her son every night. In the USA the nurses were a bit hesitant to put anything in the incubator with the baby, but aftering hearing of the potential benefits they did allow it, especially because he was under round the clock supervision. The nurses swear that he has doen a lot better than others in his same condition. Mom always makes sure he has his Cuskiboo to keep him feeling secure.

I first found out about cuskis when my twin babies were born at 30 weeks gestation and were taken to NICU. A friend gave us a miniboo for each baby and I really loved them - they were so so soft and a perfect size for my micropreemies (2lbs 15oz and 1lb 5oz at birth). I kept them with me at home sometimes and I found them as comforting as the babies did (maybe more!) - they really helped with the long months apart from my babies (8 weeks in NICU for my son and 12 for my daughter), and on a practical level I think they helped me with expressing milk too as they smelled like my babies. I have kept the miniboos carefully in the babies' memory boxes as very precious keepsakes. Now my babies are healthy 10-month-olds and they each sleep with a full-sized cuskiboo to snuggle. I wanted to say thank you and let you know how great these were for us :)

Hi Judy,

The order arrived yesterday. I couldn't believe it came so quick!

Sarah was really pleased with them and told me that she slept with one last night and gave it to her daughter this morning and she cant believe that it seems to work as her daughters heart rate and breathing is the same when in the incubator as when she is cuddling her and up until now it has only been great when they ere cuddling her.

She also said that she had the other down her top ready to swap over tonight when she goes back down the hospital. Its lovely to think that the baby is calm and reassured even when she's not there with her 😊

I think that your product is totally amazing and will be (and have already been) recommending to lots of people. My son is still sleeping through the night since receiving his sweet dreemeez and every time I get asked how I have managed to get him to do that I tell them that I'm sure its down to the Cuski!! Your and Suzy's customer service has made it even more pleasurable dealing with you.

A Cuski is going to be my gift of choice whenever a friend has a baby so I will be back to order more in the future.

Thanks once again,

Rebecca (a very happy customer) 😊

Adorable, I loved how soft it felt. I think the size is about right, my son was premature and this was the right size not to be too much. It is well made and so, so soft. This was a comfort to my son. My son likes to be held and cuddled constantly cuski miniboo allowed me to be able to put him down as he was happy with the miniboo. It gave me peace of mind, knowing Aaron had something to hold which made him feel more secure and able to sleep more peacefully allowed me to relax and do other things. I do believe my son has formed a bond with his Miniboo; he loves to hold it, just like he loves to hold a finger to feel close. I think the price is very reasonable. I believe the simplicity of the design makes it more special. I would purchase this item; I would love to have a personalised one for my son. I would recommend this item. It is veryimportant to form a strong bond with your child and I believe this helps with this bonding process when you cannot be with your baby 24/7. Lovely item. Well packaged with a lovely card to write babies details on. And a lovely bag in which to carry it around safely. I really enjoyed the experience, as the product did what it said and helped with our bonding. Vikki Clark – Aaron 3 Months
