Join Slumber Pod Co-Founder Katy Mallory as she joins us on the Kids Sleep Show to discuss all the places and spaces where you can use your SlumberPod for many years with your infant & toddler. This is by far one of our favorite products and we are blessed to share this episode with you all - because you NEED to have this one on your registry checklist!    Katy Mallory is the co-founder and CEO of SlumberPod.  Katy and her mother (Lou Childs) were inspired to invent SlumberPod and start the company following a few sleepless nights on a family trip. SlumberPod is a quick assembly privacy pod that covers a playard, mini crib or toddler mattress -- giving baby their own dark and private place to sleep while sharing a room with family. Since launching SlumberPod in 2016, the company has helped more than 200,000 families with small children sleep better while traveling or at home. Prior to co-founding SlumberPod, Katy worked in corporate America in Marketing/Internal Communications.  SlumberPod is launching additional products in the coming months and looks forward to further helping families rest well and enjoy more of what life has to offer.     Episode Highlights: Katy and Courtney chat about the idea behind SlumberPod, it’s many unique places and spaces it can go, and the longevity you can get from a single product. We all know sleep, especially when traveling is important, and this product is a slam dunk.
