My Snuggle Ducky
When I was three I was put to bed in what was called a "Snuggle Ducky". I was zipped up, laying on my back, my arms over my head unmovable. The "Snuggle Ducky" was tied to my crib. I don't remember feeling trapped. I must have felt secure. But now I can't stand to sleep in a bed with sheets tucked in at the bottom or sides. I also have a history of feeling trapped. No wonder!

Jean---Thank you for this posting! It's the first confirmation I have ever seen of my own experience. I hated the confinement of this bizarre device. I can only guess at its purpose--possibly to keep a child from touching herself. I'm glad you had a comfortable Snuggle Ducky experience. Marji
My mother always told me how much she HATED this device. Today I found hers. Such a strange thing. 😂. It is in remarkable shape for it’s age.
I realize this is an old comment, but I would like get a picture of the actual devise. I was told this was used on me. Would like to know more.
I too was “bound” in a snuggle ducky to keep me from climbing out of my crib, I am told.
Evidently I was a handful of a little girl and very curious
I can’t imagine tying up a child then again it might have been worse
Happy to have found this page! I too was put into this device (sometime in the late '30s, I was born in '37) and it was definitely a feeling of being trapped, immobilized. Horrible! And I remember waking up in the pitch dark in it. Territlble expereience!
