About

Bridges ergonomics research and caregiver diaries to pinpoint acceptance cues. Background in early childhood care and product usability with a focus on calmer, shorter feeds.

Core Beliefs

Comfort cues predict acceptance better than labels or marketing tiers.

Background

In a toddler room I supported, two babies took identical bottles differently. One relaxed only when we widened the latch angle and slowed the flow; the other needed a narrower teat and faster pace. Watching them settle taught me comfort cues predict acceptance more than brand names ever will.
