Series 2: Shark Tank
Ep. 91 - Tara Williams - Dreamland Baby
New inventions and products are generally born out of a need, and what Tara and her husband, Rob, needed in 2018 was more sleep. Their 6-month-old son, Luke, was waking up every hour and a half.
As their fourth child, Tara tried to utilize the experience of having raised three other babies, but nothing worked.

At that moment, the idea of the weighted wearable blanket for babies was born... and there was no looking back.
