Rocka bye baby, sleep on this robotics baby bed
19 Oct 2016
Baby beds have been virtually unchanged over the past 1,000 years . Now, happiest Baby, a company founded by renowned paediatrician and child development specialist, Dr. Harvey Karp, is launching SNOO, the world's first robotic baby bed, claimed to be the smartest and safest so far.
Half of New parents are exhausted - get fewer than six hours of broken sleep a night, causing the same mental impairment as being drunk. SNOO reduces this exhaustion by quickly soothing infant crying and boosting sleep with the same rhythmic sensations babies enjoy in the womb. SNOO's smart technology responds to crying with increased shushing and rocking, choosing the level that works best for that particular baby, at that particular moment. Within days, babies become better sleepers, giving tired parents much needed rest.
SNOO also helps infants develop healthier sleep habits and helps parents learn to read their baby's cues, recognising when crying is a sign of hunger versus the need for a bit more soothing. It comforts fussing from fatigue - often in under a minute- but not the cries of hunger or discomfort, says rhe maker.
SNOO comes with a ganew swaddle that securely attaches to the sleeper and prevents rolling over leaving parents the peace of mind that their newborn will remain on the back – all night long.
"Today's new parents are stressed and exhausted. Many have no experience caring for babies and most have less family support thanany generation in history," says Dr. Karp. "My greatest hope is that SNOO will give babies healthier sleep and give parents the confidence and rest they need and deserve. SNOO is the first of a series of science-based, smart products Happiest Baby is designing to help families thrive."
SNOO was invented by Dr. Karp, author of the celebrated Happiest Baby on the Block and creator of the landmark 5 S's approach to calm crying. He developed SNOO in collaboration with renowned industrial designer, Yves Béhar, and MIT engineers. In addition to its elegant design, it offers:
