Two Moms Create Baby Product That Solves Everyday Dilemma for New Parents
PHOENIX, Ariz. (PRWEB) October 31, 2011
Two entrepreneurial moms have turned their solution to an everyday frustration felt by new parents into a booming business.
The Buggy Shady , an innovative product to keep baby shaded, is the first true universal shade that fits snugly on both strollers and infant car seats. Not only does the product keep baby shaded from the sun and cooler in hot weather, but it also provides “hands-off” privacy for newborns in infant car seats, making it easy to keep people from touching or disturbing a sleeping child.
Made of breathable, transparent mesh that blocks 75 percent of UVA and UVB rays, the Buggy Shady shields baby from wind, rain, bugs and other elements. It also features a lightweight, designer print fabric layer that drops down and completely covers the mesh layer when baby needs to sleep. With eight trendy and reversible fabric options, including organic fabrics, the Buggy Shady is just as fashionable as it is functional.
Why baby should sleep on his back
Boston - Putting babies to sleep on their backs on a firm crib mattress in the same room with their parents is on a list of safe sleep guidelines for infants released by US pediatricians.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), an organisation of 60,000 pediatricians, first said in 1992 that infants should be placed in a non-prone position for sleeping to avoid sudden infant death syndrome.
A new report, which was released at the group's national conference in Boston, recommends infants sleep wholly on their back for every sleep and notes that side-sleeping is unsafe. Some supervised awake-time spent on the tummy is recommended.
A series of 18 recommendations from the AAP are intended to help guide parents, healthcare providers and others who care for infants following an increase in sleep-related deaths over the last few years.
The expanded recommendations focus broadly on creating a safe sleep environment that can reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, suffocation, entrapment and asphyxia, the report said.
