PREPARATION AND OPERATION
1. Select the correct prone cushion Birdy size according to infant body weight and proportions:
Less than 800g: Size Extra Small XS · 800g - 1,200g: Size Small S · 1,200 - 2,000g: Size Medium M · Over 2,000g: Size Large L
Proportions:
The infant's arms must line up with and tuck comfortably inside the notches.
NOTE: SIZES ARE APPROXIMATE, INFANTS PROPORTIONS VARY
2. Remove the prone cushion Birdy from its plastic packaging, and dispose of the bag properly. Carefully insert the prone cushion into
the cover as shown below.
3. Place the infant on the fully covered side of the prone cushion (on his or her stomach) so that the arms line up with the notches.
An appropriately sized prone cushion promotes rounded shoulders, provide head support, and not extend further in length than
the infant's hips. The additional side flaps of the textile cover should be put around the pelvis for better stabilisation.
Consult your hospital's physical or occupational therapist for assistance with correct positioning.
4. The use of a boundary positioning aid such as Comfy or Comfy Basic is recommended to provide stability on the prone cushion
as well as containment. Especially positioning roll Snake may be used in conjunction with the prone cushion for added boundary
around the infant's head.
