A new standard of inpatient postpartum care
Caring for mothers and infants together in the early postpartum period is important for their safety and health. The global standard of care is for healthy dyads or “couplets” to be together, in the same room and as a family.
After childbirth, the built environment around new couplets impacts their interactions and health outcomes. In particular, outdated bassinets that stand next to the maternal bed create unnecessary problems. The high walls of those old bassinets create barriers for mothers to be able to see and reach their infants - and lay them down. This access problem can contribute to calls to nursing staff to assist with diaper changes, infant feeding, and handling for safe sleep.
No one should have to ask for help to safely pick up and put down their infant.
The Couplet Care Bassinet has been co-designed with birthing parents and health care team members

"So, with baby being right there in front of her and she can just easily get baby onto her, it's going to increase mom's healing. It's going to increase rates of breastfeeding. It's going to increase baby's comfort and their consolability."
"You could just see that impact that it had, just with that study, on a family and having a better experience...and could compare the difference between a traditional bassinet versus like having the Couplet Care."
"I had a really challenging time, especially with my first delivery in the hospital...and so the Couplet Care solution, that idea of having a bassinet that you could pull right over the bed...it really struck me as an important solution to get out there."
"Wow that's a game-changer! I can't imagine how amazing it would be to have something like that."
"I'd just gone through all this, nine months of pregnancy, the trauma of the delivery, all of that, and I couldn't reach my child."
"I got absolutely fascinated with the idea that we could do something better than a metal cart with a plastic tub in it and noisy casters and sticky drawers and try to create something that would make the postpartum experience better for moms and babies..."
