“Just like a bird building a protective nest for its chicks to sleep and grow, we humans create our own version of nests for our young, which we like to call, bedrooms! Its one of the most important spaces in a newborn’s and young child’s life considering an infant can sleep up to 18 hours a day and a toddler up to fourteen.”
– Founder Deborah DiMare
