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.

Please note, in most units plush toys are NOT allowed in incubators, Miniboos and Cuskiboos ARE allowed.
* We recommend to use Miniboo from prem up to 3 months old, after this time it is advisable to graduate onto our normal sized Cuskis, unless you are using them for weaning off big Cuski at nursery or reception.
Customer reviews
Looked perfect for prem babies. Quality very good and very soft against the skin. This certainly seemed to comfort my baby. I believe my baby has formed abond with this as she seems to enjoy it being close by. This is really fantastic value for money as feels so soft and luxurious. The design is perfect just the way it is. I would purchase this. I would recommend without hesitation. Overall this product seems to have helped comfort my baby. Lucy Bryant – Erin 4 Weeks

It is the cutest thing I have ever seen! The material is soft and it is the perfect size for a pre-term baby. The size is perfect for a pre-term baby and the shape makes it easy to hold in tiny hands. My little girl holds onto the little arms and legs or the end of the hat. The quality is superb. It is very well stitched and I think it would withstand a lot of love! The head is very securely fastened to the body making it impossible for it to fall off. I believe that she was comforted by my smell on the Miniboo and the fact that it was so soft. Pre-term skin is very delicate and the material this is made from couldn't be kinder to her skin. Knowing that she had the Miniboo with her and was comforted by it was comforting to me as her mummy. I believe she has formed a bond with this as it is always with her. I think it is quite expensive for a small comforter but am sure it will last for many years (as my older daughter's Cuskis have done) and will therefore prove to be value for money in the long run. I don't think I would alter the design in any way, it is perfect the way it is. I would definitely buy this product now that I have tested it; in fact we are going to buy a spare one in case this one gets lost! I have already recommended this product to my friends. Having made quite a few friends of premature babies since my daughter was born early they all thought they were a fantastic idea. An absolutely perfect first comforter for a tiny baby. I would change nothing about it except maybe sell them in packs of 2 so that you will always have one available while one is in the wash. We fell in love with the Cuskimoo as soon as we saw it, it is so cute! My older daughters already have cuski's but they are too big for a premature baby. This is the perfect shape and size for a pre-term baby and has without a doubt offered comfort to my little girl. We have already washed it a few times and it has remained soft and the colour has remained the same. It dries quite quickly but we will definitely be buying a second one so we can alternate them when they are being washed and in case we lose one! In the world of premature babies it is often difficult to find toys and comforters which are suitable for their tiny hands but this is absolutely perfect. I am sure this will remain with my little girl for a very long time to come. Michelle Rowley-Hill – Amelie 3 Months
