The Alphie Sleep Pouch is Launching 1/18 at 9am PST

i really want to talk about the WHY behind the design.⁠ ⁠

there were two things that i prioritized when it came to designing the alphie: ⁠ ⁠

1. purposefully connecting the ollie to the alphie to make the transition easier for your little one. ⁠ ⁠

2. safety.⁠ ⁠ so, let's talk about the 1st one (i'll go into more detail on the 2nd in my next post). ⁠ ⁠

cues are so important. they are how our little ones communicate to us and they are also how we reciprocate and communicate back. an important way we do this is by creating consistency and routine in their environment. ⁠ ⁠ when we provide predictability, it allows such a beautiful opportunity for little ones to understand their environment.⁠ ⁠

in essence, they know what to expect. i mean, how amazing is it when WE know what to expect in life. how cool would it be if we knew what to expect in our day?! that is what we get to provide to our little ones when we are consistent. ⁠ ⁠

so... if you have been using your ollie, it has become a Sleep Cue for your little one. they know when it goes on, it is time for calming and sleeping. ⁠ ⁠

i wanted to make sure that same sleep cue from the ollie was continued into the alphie. ⁠

thank you always,
