Emma Crabtree
The focus of my research is sensory stimuli that relax humans, for this project, I have centered on the first stressful experience we all have in common – birth.
When comparing the environmental conditions and sensory experiences of the womb to that of a cot or similar, there are clearly vast differences. During my research, I have identified that we are instinctively drawn to natural sensory stimuli, such as a log fire, which poses the question: does a new-born baby have a subconscious draw or an innate yearning to return to the natural environment of the womb?
The sensory experience of a baby within the mother's womb is all consuming and multifaceted. This product will help the baby slowly adjust to the new, unfamiliar sensory experiences of the outside world, bridging the gap by simulating elements of the womb environment. This will reduce stress and encourage the feeling of security that comes with familiarity.
