Like a "blankie" or "lovie" for your newborn, topponcinos become a consistent comfort in your baby's life.
Your new baby is delicate and use of the topponcino provides essential head, neck and body support.
By sleeping with your topponcino for weeks before your baby is born, the topponcino will begin to absorb your family's smell.
Although you may not always physically be there to hold and console, your baby will feel as if they are forever in your arms.
Topponcinos are designed to maintain a consistent temperature, smell and texture.
"He is carried by means of a soft mattress, something like a hammock, so that he remains in a level and horizontal position, similar to his pre-natal position.”
Dr. Maria Montessori, Education for a New World
Topponcinos were introduced to the first-world in the 1940’s by Maria Montessori: Italy’s first female physician, founder of the Montessori education system and three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
Used by parents for generations, the topponcino has now become the most-recommended Montessori baby item.
Our authentic topponcinos are hand-crafted of 100% natural cotton, and made to the official Montessori recommended dimensions.
Covers are made of a finely brushed, French cotton twill which creates a rare blend of softness and durability. This unique fabric is soft as a cozy sweater, but still tightly woven to reduce potential “leak throughs”.
Inserts are made of multiple layers of USA manufactured cotton batting encased in premium cotton muslin. The layered construction was specifically designed to trap heat, as well as your family’s smells, so your baby will feel comfortable in any environment.

The topponcino totally saved my sanity. I just wish I’d found it earlier. I’d learned about the topponcino in 2014, several months before my son Kellen was born. At the time, I couldn’t find one for sale online so I decided to make my own, and I had absolutely no idea how much of a positive impact it would make on my pregnancy.
