A solution for children afraid to sleep alone

By nolongersleepy nolongersleepy 2 hours ago

Studies show that 93% of children ages 3-10 are afraid to sleep alone and afraid of the dark. As a mom I experienced the same problem with my own two children. I looked for solutions and found none  so I invented and patented my own solution. I named my pillow the Mumoocie which is made to simulate me lying behind my child to ease the separation anxiety when I am not there.This pillow retains heat/scent  and I can record my voice on it's voice recorder. The torso shape pillow has been a big hit since it now allows my son to sleep in his bed and I can sleep in mine. I realized that children need the closeness that a mom provides especially at bedtime. The Mumoocie pillow was presented to Hollywood moms for there own children and even Self Magazine tested and featured. Lack of sleep can lead to obesity and diabetes and even one hour hour has been proven to have benefits.
