  • As first time parents, we set about experimenting with a variety of sleep aids in the quest to discover 'what works'; we were up and down switching night lights on and off, changing music, measuring room temperature, singing, introducing soothers-you name it! We ended up with countless gadgets. The problem with other products on the market is they all operate on the premise that your child is like every other child, but as parents, we know that every child is an individual and what works for one may not work for another, and what works today, may not work tomorrow.

  • Santi The Sloth is an all in one companion, keeping babies to toddlers comfortable and secure at night with the soft glow of a nightlight, helping them fall asleep and stay asleep with music and sounds proven to soothe children to sleep, along with a teether ring and cuddly plush. Santi entertains them during the day by travelling with them and using music to soothe and provide mental stimulation. A musical companion and sleep aid robust enough to be dropped, kicked and drooled on that promotes sleep and tracking using a cry sensor, temperature sensor, motion sensor and mobile app.

  • Sleep for babies and their families is a common challenge, when operating on little sleep, well-being is impacted with decisions impaired, patience limited and stress heightened. Therefore the search for ways to help babies fall asleep and stay asleep while giving parents peace of mind is a common one. Safety is a top concern for parents along with help and support networks. Santi helps by monitoring and collecting data into the sleep patterns of babies, providing valuable research in the fight against SIDS and other sleep related illnesses while providing crowd-sourced suggestions to struggling parents from the network of users.
