Dr. Evelyn B. Thoman spent 20 years researching it.
In 1986, the developmental psychologist asked:
What if babies could feel their mother's breath again?
So she built the "Breathing Bear."
A soft plush that breathes like a mom.
Slow. Deep.
She placed it beside newborns.
They slept calmer. Their breathing steadied.
Then came the real surprise.
6 months later, she compared moms with the Breathing Bear to moms with a regular bear.
The Breathing Bear moms saw calmer, easier babies.
And themselves?
Less stressed. Less depressed.
When your baby breathes easier,
so do you.
