The Company
What We Do
Having experienced first-hand the toll of sleep deprivation and the lack of tailored and accessible help for parents, we set out to solve this problem in a new way with a team of sleep experts and data scientists. Huckleberry's first product gets kids from newborns to 5 years old sleeping better and longer. After understanding your child's sleep scenario, our algorithms and sleep experts determine what will work for your situation. Possible to achieve this without leaving your child to cry or medicating them? Yes indeed.
