4moms Partners with Project Sweet Peas and The Superhero Project to donate MamaRoos to Nominated NICUs Across the Country

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- This September, in honor of NICU Awareness Month, 4moms, the makers of innovative baby gear, has partnered with Project Sweet Peas, a national non-profit that supports NICUs and NICU families, and The Superhero Project, a regional non-profit that provides assistance to families in the NICU, for the 5^th Annual Nominate a NICU program to donate 75 MamaRoo Infant Seats to deserving NICUs across the country. Through the Nominate a NICU program, 4moms will be gifting nearly $18,000 in MamaRoos to 15 hospitals across the country. Each eligible hospital will receive five MamaRoo Infant Seats to use in their NICU.

"This NICU Awareness Month, we are once again proud to partner with Project Sweet Peas, and now The Superhero Project, to help get the MamaRoo Infant Seat into the hands of more nurses and hospitals across the United States," said Debbie Lee, CMO of 4moms. "We have heard firsthand from our community what these donations mean and how MamaRoo's provide an extra set of hands for nurses and hospital staff. We are honored to work with these amazing non-profits to provide assistance to an additional 15 NICUs during the 5th year of this impactful program and partnership."

The MamaRoo Infant Seat is instrumental in the NICU and can be an effective non-pharmacological intervention for babies experiencing symptoms of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS). Today, the MamaRoo Infant Seat is in 600 hospitals across all 50 states. Doctors and nurses have found the natural bouncing and swaying motion of the MamaRoo Infant Seat to be a valuable tool for helping to calm and soothe these fragile patients when their families can't be there.

"We are grateful to continue our work with 4moms to provide the MamaRoo to hospitals across the country," said Corin Nava, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Project Sweet Peas. "The MamaRoo is a favorite with NICU nurses and families. Over the last five years, we've been able to donate hundreds of MamaRoos to various NICU and PICU units so that more tiny patients have access to these amazing seats. We're looking forward to helping even more this year with the addition of The Superhero Project."

"We've always been big fans of the MamaRoo," said Kelly Gallagher, Founder of The Superhero Project. "This Nominate a NICU program perfectly aligns with our mission to help NICUs and NICU families, and we are so excited to be a part of it this year."

Beginning September 1^st, the partnership invites communities to nominate deserving NICUs for the opportunity to become one of 15 hospitals to receive MamaRoo Infant Seat donations. Even more, 4moms will be featuring NICU parents and their stories on @4moms_hq to discuss why NICU Awareness Month is so important.
