The shift into parenthood happens in a single heartbeat, but the reality of it settles in during the quiet and dark hours of the night. For new parents, bringing a newborn home turns sleep from a natural routine into a series of anxious calculations. Every sudden sigh from the crib, unexpected stretch of silence, or a faint rustle through the baby monitor triggers a familiar dilemma.

Physical comfort rarely receives the same attention, despite playing a direct role in how people feel and perform throughout the day. Long…
