Bella Barski

First Woombie Baby + Invention InspirationMeet Bella, the first Woombie Baby! When Bella was a newborn she had a super startle reflex and mighty mouse strength and she busted out of the swaddle blanket all night long – every 15 minutes she would unravel. We spent the nights wrapping and re-wrapping over and over. We kept finding the swaddle unraveled and up over her face which was scary to say the least. After weeks of no sleep in the middle of the night I had an idea for a peanut-shaped sack that required no wrapping; plus it needed to gently cocoon baby but allowing for natural movement (just like the womb environment baby felt prior to birth). It worked! Bella slept 6 hours straight the first night and every night since. So our little Bella was the reason Woombie was invented and her twin brothers were Woombie babies too! Bella is an award-winning horseback rider and owns her own business too! www.tacksaver.com
