“Every time I drop off Burplee orders, I think about the parents on the other end hoping for a little relief.”
I wasn’t trying to create a product line.
I was just a mom dealing with long nights, nonstop reflux, and a baby who couldn’t get comfortable no matter what I tried.
The mats didn’t help.
The pillows didn’t keep him in place.
And tummy time? Forget it. He’d slide, sink, or cry within seconds.
I remember thinking:
“How is there nothing out there that actually supports a baby where it matters?”
So I made something myself. And it changed everything at home.
The moment I realized other parents needed this too
Friends started asking for one.
Then their friends.
Then parents I had never met were messaging me.
That’s when I understood this wasn’t just a “handmade fix.”
Parents everywhere were struggling with the same thing:

Babies uncomfortable on flat mats
Endless reflux frustration
Tummy time battles
Constant trial-and-error that never worked
“Designed by parents, for babies who need help finding calm.”
The Burplee became the answer we never had.
WHY BURPLEE EXISTS (MISSION)
It was built for a baby who needed comfort.
Every part of the design comes from real experience:
Support where babies need it most
A structured incline that helps digestion, breathing, and movement.
Comfort that keeps them settled
Cushioned contours that prevent sliding, smushing, and frustration.
A tool that grows with them
Reflux, lounging, tummy time, all in one.
Made for real life
Washable, durable, and created for the chaos of everyday parenting.
Parents tell us they notice a difference fast
Before Vonu:
Babies uncomfortable on flat mats
Endless reflux frustration
Tummy time battles
After Vonu
Feedings ended in calm sighs
Gentle digestion and long naps
“Tummy time” meant giggles and progress

Reflux after every bottle
Gentle digestion and long naps
“Tummy time” meant crying

Common concerns (that I had too):
Will it actually make a difference?
I didn’t believe it at first either. But the change was clear within days... calmer feedings, fewer reflux episodes, and finally, naps that lasted longer than 20 minutes.
Is it really safe for my baby?
Yes. The Vonu Burplee Lounger is designed by parents, tested for safety, and made with gentle, non-toxic materials. No harmful angles, no over-padding.. just thoughtful design that supports healthy rest.
Will it be just another baby thing collecting dust?
Honestly, that was my fear too. But this one stayed in our daily routine, because it worked. It became our go-to after every feeding and during every quiet moment.
