Repeat customers (4 kits per child, multiple children).

Original Problem

Parents struggle with conflicting safety guidelines on when to introduce bedding to infants

New parents face anxiety and confusion about safe sleep practices for babies, specifically around introducing duvets and blankets. Current guidance is fragmented across pediatrician recommendations, product labels, and parenting forums, leaving parents uncertain about balancing safety with comfort. This uncertainty creates decision paralysis during a critical period when sleep quality affects both infant development and parental wellbeing.
