Can we really buy sleep or qualify the price on our sleep somehow?! Now there is a doll called The Lulla Doll --which is invented to comfort fussy infants at nighttime. It is being sold at retail price of $71.00, but desperate mothers are paying up to $350.00 for the sold-out doll on eBay, as reported by the Daily Telegraph.
Designed by Eyrun Eggertsdottir (an Icelandic mom and psychologist), the Lulla Toy mimic a human sound that makes infants feels as if they are laying next to a loved one. The website went further to explain how it work to achieve this purpose, “whenever the chest or heart region of the doll is pushed or pressed, the doll presents a human-like recording of the heartbeat and breathing of a resting mother. She is named Gudrun, she is a valuable companion, a mom of four and a Kundalini yoga mentor.”
This marvelous cradle friend is produced from smooth regular cotton and hypo-allergenic, ultra-fine microfiber. Based on what Eggertsdottir said, if mothers should rub Lulla doll on their skin,their scent will be absorbed by the doll, which has been demonstrated to encourage a baby to believe it is safe and secure.
Eggertsdottir said the concept of Lulla Doll was birthed in her thought after a dear friend has given birth to a newborn girl untimely and had to leave the baby girl alone in intensive care unit for two weeks every night. According to her, the aim of the doll is to be the second reliable comfort for newborns whose mothers need to be away for whatsoever kind of reason.
Although there are related merchandises on sale in stores like the Sleep Sheep, Eggersdottir stated that Lulla is outstandingly different due to the fact she is devised to encourage little babies to sleep a longer time. “Research reports reveals to us that when babies listen to the sounds of heartbeat and breathing, they harmonize into them and began getting used to the rhythm that they hear,” Eyrun Eggertsdottir revealed in a video created for the promotion of this doll . “When newborns feel more calm and relaxed, it encourages them to drift into sleep and to remain asleep for a long period of time.”
As for the bidding wars of eBay: “We are very shocked,” Eyrun Eggertsdottir said. “We did not have any slight idea this was going to happen until these stories surfaced on the internet. Mothers are really willing to give a lot for the purpose of a good night’s sleep!”
