                                                                  Having a baby is an incredibly exciting time, but many parents brace for a major impact on their sleep (or lack thereof). Accessing and affording professional postnatal support is out of reach for many. In major cities, in-person night nanny support costs $400–700+ per night. Plus, the quality of care varies greatly and there’s no guarantee you’ll find availability. That’s why Harbor is helping parents get the sleep they need with a first-of-its-kind, at-home sleep training solution that combines best-in-class hardware with telehealth support from trained professionals.
