The topponcino (pronounced top.on.chi’no) is a soft, mat-like Montessori baby pillow that provides comfort, support, and consistency throughout the first few delicate months of your baby’s life. Your newborn is experiencing smells, temperatures, and textures for the first time. These new senses can be overwhelming and frightening. All of the novel experiences can be harsh. It is important to find items and habits that delicately transition your baby into the world. Not only will the topponcino assist your newborn in its transition to life outside the womb, but it will also help you as a parent to transition into your new role of a caretaker.

Specifically, the topponcino allows you to:

Handle your baby with ease: Unique oval design cradles your baby, physically supporting them while handling, holding, or feeding.

Give confidence to others: Acts as a second set of arms so less experienced family and friends can enjoy the cuddles without the nerves.

Create a cozy environment: Like a “blankie” or “lovie” for your newborn which never changes temperature, smell, or softness.

Smooth awkward transitions: Ease the movement from person-to-person, and remove the shock of being placed on new and cold surfaces.

Take your baby anywhere: Roll up the topponcino and take it on the go with you to create a clean place for your baby to lay and play.

Encourage tummy time: Gives your baby a practical place to crawl, roll, kick, and explore the new world around them.

Please note that safety is our #1 priority. As recommended by the AAP, never use any baby lounger or support pillow as a sleep device, and never allow your baby to use unsupervised. Before using, please review the Safety Guidelines on our website.
