It’s impossible to build everything into every single device. It would make them unmanageably large, not to mention prohibitively expensive. When we design a new device, we try to think about what would be useful for the parent and comfortable for the baby. We try to figure out what can be sacrificed to make it […]
As producers of baby breathing and movement monitors, we’re often asked why our devices are designed to wait 20 seconds to alert parents and caregivers to a cessation of breathing. Why not, concerned parents ask, alert at 5 seconds or 10 seconds? In order to explain this, we have to look at what we know […]
Once you’re pregnant, one of the things you guard against is preterm delivery. All moms want is to keep their baby baking for as long as they need, typically upwards of 37 weeks. But since there’s a lot that’s outside of anyone’s control, preterm or premature babies are born all the time. A few years […]

The Lullaby Trust (formerly FSID) promotes infant health and disseminates information on infant health, babycare and sudden infant deaths […]
Breastfeeding can look, to the casual observer, like the easiest and most natural thing in the world. Once you start doing it, however, you realise that it’s a bit more complicated than that. There’s the latch, your letdown, engorgement, and supply to worry about. But one thing many people — even lactation consultants — often […]
You may have heard of Montessori but — unless you’ve had a child in a Montessori school or learning environment or know someone who does — you may not know how useful the principles of Montessori can be in raising children. We all want our children to be happy, independent and safe, but those things […]
If there’s one thing that parents and kids frequently fight over, it’s food. How much, how little, which foods, when to eat — it can seem unending. But we’re here to tell you a little secret: you don’t have to fight with your kids around food. Want to know more? Read on. What is […]
