Dayie means"sleep well"in the Ghanaian language Twi, and that's exactly what we want for our babies. That is why we have developed a sling cradle with an automatic cradle motor, so that your baby can fall asleep in the most natural and comfortable way. We have placed great emphasis on design and technology and let ourselves be inspired by the African culture, where they know everything about infants' need for movement when they need to sleep.
That's why we say about our products:
Danish Design - African Logic!

All the cotton used for our sling cradle is grown and harvested in Ghana. It has since been woven at a textile factory in Akosombo and from there distributed around the country in the local markets. Our raw cotton is therefore 100% organic. Neither pesticides nor chemicals have been used in the field.
Continuous movement gives infants the feeling of being close to their primary caregiver. In Ghana and other natural societies, infants are carried on their mother's body from birth until they are approx. two years old. They sit close in the sling and feel all the mother's movements all day. That is why it is often said that African babies cry less than babies in the West.
All the crossbars are hand-carved at a small local carpentry workshop in the capital Accra. The tree is called ofram and comes from the African tree species Limba. It has a bright, yellowish appearance with dark veins. All the wood is FSC-labeled, which means that it comes from forest areas where no more wood is felled than the forest can reproduce. Large Danish design companies also use this type of wood, e.g. in a well-known monkey. Each stick is unique and there will be color variations, which is a natural phenomenon and is not a parameter for poor quality
Anyone who has had an infant knows about it. The baby will only sleep in motion. The sling cradle is a product that has been on the Danish market for over 20 years and many parents of infants have diligently sat and pulled the spring hour after hour so that the baby could sleep safely. They no longer need it. We have designed a motor for the sling cradle so that tired parents can get a little extra help at home. The cradle motor mimics a natural movement, just like mom or dad would do.
Dayie sling cradle + cradle motor is, by far, the best investment I have made in my maternity leave! The cradle motor is quite easy to hang up and very simple and intuitive to use. I feel not only that the cradle engine has been a huge help for me as a tired mother, but also for my daughter, who has been given the best conditions for a proper sleep, which is so important for her development. I have especially used it in the evening hours where she could only calm down when she was moving, or for the morning nap when, after another bad night, I needed to sleep instead of going with the pram. It has really made a world of difference for our little family, so can really only warmly recommend it to all tired parents - and their equally tired babies.
