Innovative Sleeping Bag May Save Lives of Newborns

The moment of birth is critical for a newborn. It's a time when the baby struggles to regulate its body temperature and needs external warmth. In countries like Israel and across the West, this issue is easily addressed with incubators. Yet, in developing countries, hospitals must resort to basic methods like blankets and hot water bottles, which often fall short.  

The deeper you delve into this issue and its solution, you can't help but wonder: 'How has no one thought of this sooner?' An innovative yet simple invention has been developed by an organization called Embrace, which took initiative to address this problem. They have created a tiny sleeping bag tailored to the size of a baby, equipped with a thermal layer that maintains the desired temperature for at least six hours. Embrace is now engaged in global fundraising efforts for this noble cause, which has already saved about 150 babies.
