Monkey Stars

Georgina Starmer, a mother of two.

I created Monkey Stars after realising how much a good night’s sleep makes a difference for happy family life. I never realised how much I missed my sleep until I had 2 children 18 months apart. As a new mother, I was eager to try out all sorts of products and spent lots of time searching the internet for things to create a calm, soothing nursery as well as ideas to make bedtimes easier. I decided to set up a one-stop baby sleep shop so parents could find lots of sleep related products and ideas together in one place. We are an online store providing bedtime essentials and nursery furniture, as well as baby slings and carriers, bath time products and travel sleep solutions.
Being a tired parent can be tough and I remember times when I literally did not know what I could do to settle my overtired/colicky/frustrated babies! I was never comfortable with the ‘cry-it-out’ method and found it upsetting and stressful for both me and my children. Instead we developed a happy and relaxed bedtime routine which greatly reduced those difficult evenings. I want to offer support and 'a shoulder' to parents experiencing the same thing. I have recently added a forum to our website and want to build a supportive community that parents can turn to for help and encouragement.
