Growing beyond the NICU
Nucu founder Juha Hannula originally created the Nucu Pad together with the University Hospital of Oulu, one of the leading neonatal care hospitals in Finland.
The next-generation Nucu Pad continues our commitment to safety, science and togetherness.
Sleep is the foundation for growth and development
In our study, we found that recording and using your own heartbeat feelscapes helped babies sleep 47% longer compared to not using any feelscape at all.*
*42 nights, babies aged 3–8 months
Designed with parents and experts
Nucu works with leading sleep coaches in Finland and Sweden to bring you efficient, safe and sustainable sleep solutions.
Our multidisciplinary Togetherness Board of childcare experts, thought leaders and parents meets once a month to give feedback and direction.
