Pēpi Nest Care + Safety Guide

Mine Collective Pēpi Nest

The Mine Collective Pēpi Nests are designed as a portable option for supervised sleep, rest and play.

Whether you’re at work; out visiting friends and family; actively engaged in housework or curled up on the lounge with a book, our baby nests give you the ability to have your baby close, while also allowing you to easily move from room-to-room with your precious little baby.

Your baby can be resting, playing or simply snoozing, all under your watchful eye.

Mine Collective Pēpi Nests are suitable from birth until your baby begins to roll.

Mine Collective take the issue of safety very seriously, and in the absence of safety standards for baby nests or pods, we took our nest to an accredited New Zealand materials and testing laboratory.

Here our baby nest was tested for firmness, tension, strength of seams, and potential hazards under ‘Methods of testing infant products – Method 1:Sleep surfaces’. No hazards were identified.

 

To help keep your baby safe please make sure you READ the following safety guide:

Always use our pēpi nests under close supervision

Do not carry your baby in our pēpi nest

Always put your baby nest on a firm, flat surface

Always lay your baby with their feet at the “tie” end of our nest

Never put your baby’s head at the foot end of our nest

Do not use our nest near vertical structures, walls, or contained areas. This may cause suffocation

Do not put any stuffed toys, extra bedding, pillows or anything else inside our nest that could cause suffocation

Always be aware of your baby’s abilities and do not put them at risk of injury

As with any baby product, it is important to use your common sense and Mine Collective accept no responsibility for your failure to do so.

Some helpful hints on Safe Sleeping for your baby

Always sleep your baby on their back with face clear from any blankets

Have a smoke-free house and car

Make sure whoever is looking after your baby is sober and drug-free

Co-Sleeping

According to the Ministry of Health, it is never safe to put your baby to sleep in an adult bed, on a couch, or on a chair. However, if you do choose to sleep with your baby in bed with you, they recommend putting them in their own baby bed beside you. This may reduce the risk of your baby suffocating in their sleep.

Mine Collective do not promote, advocate or encourage co- sleeping, but believe it is a parent’s choice.
