A Cuddly Collaboration
When we learned that Project
Sweet Peas needed a bonding
doll for NICU families, we
undertook research and
product development as a
charitable project. Thanks to
Shine, a working Mom and
our retail partner in China, we
found the resources to
produce CuddlePea affordably
and to US standards.
Together, Sandbox Medical
and Project Sweet Peas
donate CuddlePea bonding
dolls to hundreds of NICU
families across the US.
Project Sweet Peas is a non-profit 501C3 organization run by former NICU families who, through personal experiences, have become passionate about providing support to families of prema ture or sick infants and to those affected by pregnancy and infant loss.

Why It’s Important1 |
|
A baby’s sense of smell develops in the womb, where amniotic fluid surrounds baby
with Mom’s unique scent. At birth, infants are attracted to the mother's smell.2,3,4,5,6
Familiarity with their mother’s scent in the womb may encourage babies to
breast-feed at birth.4 Parental bonding and familiarity with Mom‘s scent for breast-feeding are reasons to offer bonding dolls to preemies and hospitalized babies while separated from their mothers. Bonding dolls also help address the emotional need of NICU parents to provide comfort for their babies. CuddlePea is a simple, affordable, cuddly, cute solution!
