Designed by an occupational therapist, the Norwegian So-Ro Cradle is according to the latest research of the brain’s interpretation of sensory input, forward movement is the most comfortable and soothing motion for the baby.

The best way to understand this concept is to imagine sitting on a swing, which is the most comfortable motion for a baby. “When swinging in a normal rhythm, the brain registers this linear, forward motion as soothing. Traditional cradles utilize lateral motion, which stimulates the circular-motion portion of the brain and can lead to dizziness and sensitive babies can also experience throwing up.” If that’s sounds all to technical… imagine just the natural swinging motion of the baby being n your arms!  The So-Ro cradle‘s soothing effect helps babies fall asleep easier, which in turn leads to calmer and better-rested parents, and let’s be honest, what parent doesn’t want a more restful night’s sleep!
