The Business
Problem
Babies are born different to adults:
🔴 Babies’ skin is 5 times thinner than the adults.
🔴 50% of all babies are born with sensitive skin.
🔴 ~20% of all babies are born with eczema (AD). Their parents are 4-8 times more likely to average fewer than 6 hours of sleep per night.
🔴 Babies are unable to thermoregulate till the age of 6 months, which puts them at a life-threatening risk of overheating and
🔴 Overheating itself:
- raises the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
- may lead to heat rash
- negatively affects babies’ sleep, hence the quality of life of all family members
- creates an uncomfortable environment, causing babies to cry more. This exhausts parents’ mental and physical wellbeing.
