I am the inventor & creator of The Butterfly Swaddle

25+ years of hard-earned knowledge as a mom, RN, and certified newborn care specialist has birthed my new "baby", The Butterfly Swaddle - A unique patented swaddle & transitional sleep training system in one.

My experience has taught me that sleep is the foundation for the health and happiness for both baby and parent(s). Through developmentally appropriate sleep conditioning practices, combined with the proper tools & education, I know that a healthy, happy, and well-rested family is attainable within a short amount of time.

My role with babies and new families as a newborn care specialist requires an abundance of support and education for all new parents. This support includes teaching parents the art of incorporating sleep conditioning and sleep training practices to develop healthy and age-appropriate sleep habits for their baby. Of all the things there are to learn as a new parent, the #1 thing ALL parents ask about is how to get more SLEEP.

All healthy new babies are born with a startle reflex. Without the snug embrace of the womb they have a very difficult time staying asleep without being held. With the right swaddle/sleep training system and following developmentally appropriate guidelines, babies can be conditioned to have healthy, restful sleep.

The Butterfly Swaddle allows a gentle & safe approach to swaddling your baby while the startle reflex is strong and even helps with transitioning them out of the swaddle when they are ready. It is important to acknowledge that all babies are different and every parent knows their child best. The versatility in the uses of the swaddle intuitively allows parents to choose to use the swaddle in the best way they see fit for their baby's preferences - from very snug & cozy, to gently limited arm movement - all of which leads to better sleep. Who doesn't want better sleep?
