It starts with a fussy newborn and her physically tired and mentally exhausted parents. They have tried to calm their crying baby but nothing worked. Her father, a Cornell University graduate and former GE engineer, finnally identified his baby slept better beside the fireplace of living room, with low warm-white light and crack of a fire sound. He realized the sleep therapy compounded of lights and sounds as the cure to newborns and even parents. But after scouring stores across the US for one easy-to-use bedside device compounded of lights and sounds, he came up empty-handed. That's when the idea for Hotmoon Lullight was born.
