Delicate as they are, babies(especially newborns) do get easily startled at the slightest noise or sudden movements. To counteract this, Asian mums have traditionally used bean sprout husks pillows or bean filled pillows to cushion the little ones from sudden noises and movements, and thus resulting in a calmer and better rested baby.
Compared to bean fillings which could potentially germinate or decompose, bean sprout husks are light, creates air pockets and hygienic.
These pillows are not compact like ordinary pillows. The pillow casings are intentionally sewn with ample space inside so that the bean sprout fillings can be evenly distributed into a thin layer.
To use the pillow, hold both ends of the pillow and shake it sideways to evenly distribute the bean sprout husk fillings. Gently place it over baby's chest or tummy.
Each pillow comes in an inner white cotton casing and an external patterned pillow case.
Do not wash the inner pillow, but rather sun it regularly to keep the inner filings crisp, dry and odour free.
Caution: Babies below 12 months should not be left unsupervised while sleeping with the pillow.
