• Embedded stainless-steel ring prevents the cup from collapsing when gripped
• 360, spout-free lid means your child can take a drink from any part of the lid

If you are having a baby, a crib and a crib mattress are essential!

Sleep Ovation Baby recently launched the first-of-its kind, tech-advanced mattress designed to promote a safe and restful sleep for babies while preventing the physical and developmental risks of positional plagiocephaly (creates flat spot on back of babies head and often need to wear a helmet).  While most new parents are educated that “back is best” to prevent SIDS, an unintended consequence has been the dramatic increase of positional plagiocephaly.

New studies have shown significant correlations between positional plagiocephaly and cognitive development.  The brand designed the mattress to reduce pressure on the head while keeping the baby’s spine correctly aligned.

The new pricing is $279 for the Standard and $229 for the Mini.
