Sleepingbaby.com founders Stephanie and Brett Parker will be on Shark Tank this Friday, September 26th at 8PM ET. See how this mom and dad turned a common parenting problem into a successful business – their story is so inspirational! I love how Stephanie thought of the idea in the midst of being so sleep deprived (their little girl would not sleep after they took her out of the swaddle; after 2 weeks of not sleeping Stephanie pulled out her little sewing machine and created the first “Zippy”). And what’s even cooler, is they took their $700 savings and turned it into a hugely successful business – via word of mouth! In the beginning Stephanie sewed each Zipadee-Zip by hand as the orders came in. Such a cool story and we are so happy to be sharing it with you!
We will also be including the Zipadee-Zip in our upcoming Boo! We’re Due, Baby Shower Gift Guide Event starting October 1st because it’s such a great product.
So what is the Zipadee-Zip?
Zipadee-Zip, the magical solution to transition baby from swaddle, is inspiring sounder sleep in infants and toddlers because it provides an enclosed, cozy, womb-like environment – similar to a swaddle. However, unlike the swaddle, it is less restrictive, allowing baby to move around freely. Babies can safely roll, stand, and crawl while wearing the Zipadee-Zip. (Due to the incredible demand for their product, the couple has just launched their second product, the Flying Squirrel PJ, which features optional hand and foot coverings!)
The Zipadee-Zip is the most versatile sleep garment in the world. It has 7+ uses:
-
Sleep — Aids with swaddle transition and encourages self-soothing skills for babies that haven’t been swaddled.
-
Travel — Encourages sleep and settling on long car or plane rides.
-
Dr. Office Visits — Eliminates tedious clothing changes.
-
Grocery Visits and Plane Rides — Provides a GERM FREE environment.
-
Breastfeeding — Prevents a baby from scratching themselves and momma.
-
Stroller walks or walks/rides in a sling or baby carrier — Can be worn while buckled or strapped in.
-
MORE SLEEP! Aids transition to crib off of swing or rock and play sleeper.
