One of the biggest challenges new parents face is getting their child to fall asleep.
Often your baby will want to sleep with you, or won’t sleep through the night, but a genius new invention is changing that. This sleep-inducing doll is called a Lulla Doll, and it was created by Eyrun Eggertsdottir, a mother of two who specializes in psychology. Being a woman who understands the positive effects that being close to a caregiver during sleep can have on babies, Eggertsdottir designed this doll to simulate the breathing and heartbeat of a person at the push of a button.
As described on the website, “when the chest is pressed, Lulla plays a real-life recording of the breathing and heartbeat of a mother at rest. Her name is Gudrun, she is a dear friend, a mother of four and a Kundalini yoga teacher.”
The Lulla doll is a soft doll made from natural cotton and hypoallergenic, ultra-fine microfiber and it replicates human sounds that help babies feel like they’re sleeping beside a loved one.
According to Eggertsdottir, if parents rub the doll against their skin, it will absorb their scent, and will help their child feel safe and secure.
Eggertsdottir told US Weekly that the idea of the Lulla doll came to her after a friend gave birth to a baby girl prematurely and had to leave her alone in a hospital every night for two weeks. There are some similar products on the market such as Sleep Sheep, but Eggersdottir says Lulla stands out because it’s designed to help little ones sleep longer.
As for the price of the Lulla doll, you can preorder one for $71 on Indiegogo, expected to be available October 2016. It was through a crowdfunding campaign that Eggertsdottir raised $331,489 to help manufacture the doll.
