Makers Social Continues Collaborating With Other Businesses

Sleepy Baby Provides a Gentle Embrace to Newborns
After entering parenthood, Gary Harutyunyan and his wife, Siran Kirakosyan, faced a problem that every other parent goes through — a lack of sleep. After trying out multiple methods to help their newborn baby settle and calm down, they decided to make the most of Siran’s medical background and Gary’s technical talents. Thus, Sleepy Baby was born in an attempt to create a product that could soothe their baby and help other parents at the same time.
It is a hands-free sleep aid that provides automatic, gentle pats to the baby and helps them stay asleep. Besides adjusting the rhythm and speed to the baby’s requirements, the product also plays white noise audio. The Sleep Baby is available for purchase on the brand’s official website for $63.99. The bundle of two Sleepy Babies can be bought for $110, while three Sleep Babies are available for $150. After their appearance on ‘Shark Tank,’ more parents have purchased the product and are getting a good night’s sleep along with their newborn.
