Part Time Editor
Who we are
Created by parents and for parents, Cradlewise is a baby technology company founded in 2018 by engineers Radhika and Bharath Patil. They design nursery products that are smart, intuitive, and delightful. Cradlewise won the Bump’s Best of Baby Unique Standout Award in 2022 and TIME’s Best Inventions Award in 2020 for their first product, a convertible smart crib that automatically bounces baby back to sleep, just like you would as a parent.
Cradlewise is the only crib that senses stirring and soothes babies back to sleep before they start crying. It helps babies fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. In turn, Cradlewise maximizes the entire family's rest.
