Baby Warmer

Our Baby warmer is placed on your baby’s tummy, chest or feet and provides up to 5 hours of soothing warmth on the go. The cuddly soft pillowcase made of 100% cotton (organic) measures approx. 9.5 x 11 cm and is therefore ideal for babies. The hotel closure is on the front of the cover so that the pillow can snuggle up to your baby without pressing. A disposable heat pad is inserted into it, which provides cosy extra warmth in the pram or baby carrier – ideal in cold temperatures to keep the little feet or body warm.

The filling of the heat pads contains, among other things, iron powder and activated charcoal. This means that the disposable heat pads heat up themselves within a few minutes when they come into contact with oxygen. The natural filling is 100% compostable*. Thus, with our heat pads, we offer a natural and ecological alternative to similar products.

The starter pack includes a pillowcase and 4 disposable heat pads. You can buy the heat pads separately at any time.

Application

When the temperatures drop, the little ones are wrapped up thickly in jackets or snowsuits. But be careful: especially in the car seat, babies should not be strapped in with a thick jacket, as this can be dangerous. Our Baby warmer provides cosy warmth in such situations in the pram or baby seat.

Our Baby warmer is ideally suited as a body warmer to be placed on the chest, feet or belly
– in the pram during walks
– in the child seat when the car is not yet heated up.
– in the baby carrier/baby car seat when out and about.
– for a general feeling of cold.

Our baby warmer is suitable from birth.

Usage:

Step1:

GRÜNSPECHT heat pads intended for single use are activated through contact with oxygen and warm up automatically within 15 minutes. To do this, take the warmer out of the foil bag (see Fig. 1). and knead it thoroughly. CAUTION: Please check the heat pads before use. Do not use if the fi lling of the heating cell is leaking out and/or the heat pad is damaged or cracked.

Step 2:

Place the heat pad into the pocket in the enclosed GRÜNSPECHT organic cushion cover (opening: see fi gure 2) until you can feel that it has started to warm up. The heat pad is inserted fully under the first layer of fabric (as with a cushion cover) so that the warmer is held in place in the internal pocket.

Step 3:

Remove any baby jewellery (e.g. necklaces) before use. Now lay the cushion close to your child, on their tummy, chest, or feet, above a thin layer of clothing and always with the enclosed cushion cover. After around 15 minutes, it will have become pleasantly warm. CAUTION: Do not use the Baby Warmer directly on the skin in order to prevent the child from getting too hot. If the temperature feels good on the inside of your elbow, it is right for your child (max. 43 °C). If it is not warm enough, then allow the Warmer to have contact with air again. The Baby Warmer can be used for as long as it feels pleasantly warm. We recommend that the heat pad is not kept close to the body for more than fi ve hours. If you should fi nd that your child’s skin is slightly red, this is due to the heating effect of the heat pad. If the skin is still red after a few hours, do not use a heat pad until the redness has disappeared completely. The organic cushion cover made of 100 % cotton (COF) is reusable and washable. Only the inserted heat pads are intended for single use and must be disposed of after use. Please observe the care instructions as well as the disposal instructions. To continue to use the Baby Warmer, we recommend GRÜNSPECHT hand warmers, which can be purchased separately.

Material:

Natural hand warmers: Ingredients: Iron powder, water, vermiculite, active charcoal, salt (potassium chloride).
Material of organic cushion cover: 100 % cotton (COF)

Care Advice:

• The organic cushion cover made of 100 % cotton (COF) can be washed at 30°C in the machine without the internal heat pad.
• CAUTION! Before washing, please remove the heat pad from the cushion cover and observe the care symbols on the product.
• Please store the packaged hand warmers out of reach of children, household pets, away from moisture and direct sunlight in a cool, dry place.
• If the foil bag is sealed, the hand warmers can be used up to the expiry date shown on the rear of the foil bag.

Information about disposal:

The GRÜNSPECHT hand warmers are only intended to be used once. After use, you can dispose of them easily and in an environmentally-friendly manner. In place of the sodium chloride which is used in many single-use body warmers, the GRÜNSPECT “Natural hand warmers” contain potassium chloride, which is also used in plant fertilisers. Potassium is a plant nutrient, which is why, after usage and cooling, the hand warmer filling can be disposed of in bio-waste or compost.
CAUTION! Before disposal, allow the hand warmer to cool completely (up to 48 hours), in order to avoid ignition or combustion. The heat pad cover becomes slightly porous once it has cooled down, which means that small particles from the pad filling could leak out. Please dispose of the heat pad as quickly as possible once it has cooled down.
Once it is fully cooled, knead the warmer with your hands. Then carefully open on the narrow edge using scissors and empty the filling into your bio-waste or compost.
CAUTION! When disposing of the filling, make sure that you avoid direct contact between the filling and mucous membranes – if contact should occur, then follow the safety instructions.
We recommend disposal of 2 hand warmer fillings to 10 litres of compost or bio-waste, in order to ensure sufficient dilution. When using in household compost, the quantity of hand warmers to be disposed of over a longer period of time is a maximum of nine warmers a month (in accordance with a study by the Frauenhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology, 2019). Do not use the hand warmer filling for ornamental plants. The remaining elements of the hand warmer and the packaging must be separated by material type and disposed of in household waste and taken to the relevant recycling scheme. Please be aware of regional disposal guidelines.
The organic cushion cover made of 100 % cotton (COF) can be re-used and is washable (for details Storage, care and shelf life). With normal usage, we recommend replacing it with a new cover after a maximum period of use of 4 years.
