Meet the Team Advancing the Future of Postpartum Care
Building the Future of Postpartum Care
Sleep & Cradle® Health is a physician-led digital health company advancing postpartum care through coordinated care navigation, personalized newborn support, parent education, and AI-powered innovation.
Founded by physician Dr. Cynthia Unuigbe, our company was built after recognizing a critical gap in postpartum care. Families often receive excellent medical care during pregnancy and childbirth, yet many return home without the coordinated support needed to confidently navigate sleep deprivation, feeding, recovery, newborn care, and the transition into parenthood.
We believe postpartum care should not end when families leave the hospital.
Our physician-led coordinated postpartum support model combines personalized newborn care, physician-led care navigation, parent education, continuity of care, and digital health innovation to help families build healthy sleep foundations while improving maternal, infant, and family outcomes.
Today, Sleep & Cradle® Health is building the infrastructure for the future of postpartum care by combining clinical expertise, technology, education, and human-centered support into one coordinated model of care.
Why We Exist
Every year, millions of families transition into parenthood with limited coordinated postpartum support despite sleep deprivation, feeding challenges, and recovery concerns being among the most common reasons parents seek guidance after birth.
Sleep & Cradle® Health was founded to help close this gap through physician-led coordinated postpartum support that extends beyond the hospital and evolves alongside each family's changing needs.
Our Purpose
Our Mission
Our mission is to transform postpartum care by helping families confidently navigate the transition into parenthood through physician-led coordinated postpartum support, personalized education, and innovative digital health solutions that improve sleep, recovery, and long-term family well-being.
Our Vision
We envision a future where every family has access to coordinated postpartum support that extends beyond the hospital and evolves alongside their changing needs.
Through physician-led care navigation, professional education, strategic healthcare partnerships, and AI-powered technologies, Sleep & Cradle® Health is building the infrastructure needed to make proactive postpartum care more accessible, personalized, and equitable for families around the world.
Meet Our Founder
Dr. Cynthia Unuigbe is the Founder and CEO of Sleep & Cradle® Health, a physician-led digital health company advancing postpartum care through coordinated care navigation, personalized newborn support, and AI-powered innovation.
A licensed physician, subject matter expert in postnatal sleep health, Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, and Certified Newborn Care Specialist, Dr. Cynthia brings more than a decade of clinical, public health, and hands-on newborn care experience supporting children ages 0–5 and the families who care for them.
Her journey began by working directly with families in their homes, where she witnessed firsthand the profound impact that postpartum sleep deprivation, fragmented care, inconsistent guidance, and limited continuity of support had on maternal recovery, infant well-being, and family health. Those experiences revealed a much larger challenge—one that could not be solved through overnight care alone.
Recognizing the need for a more coordinated approach, Dr. Cynthia founded Sleep & Cradle® Health to help families confidently navigate the transition into parenthood through physician-led coordinated postpartum support. Today, the company combines personalized newborn care, physician-led care navigation, parent education, infant sleep health, and continuity of care into a comprehensive postpartum support model designed to improve outcomes for both parents and babies.
Dr. Cynthia's career spans clinical medicine, public health, and global health leadership. She has served with distinction at the World Health Organization (WHO), the National Primary Health Care Development Agency, and Igbinedion University Teaching Hospital in Nigeria. Her international experience includes health innovation work at Manguzi Hospital in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, along with community development initiatives through Black Girls Ignite Africa Inc. and Starlite Hope Initiative.
What distinguishes Dr. Cynthia is her ability to bridge medicine, direct family care, digital health, and healthcare innovation. Having supported families both in their homes and through virtual care, she recognized that improving postpartum outcomes requires more than individual services—it requires coordinated systems of care that provide families with trusted guidance throughout the postpartum journey.
Under her leadership, Sleep & Cradle® Health has evolved from direct family support into a physician-led digital health company building the infrastructure for the future of postpartum care. The organization is developing scalable care navigation models, professional education programs, strategic healthcare partnerships, and AI-powered technologies designed to improve maternal and infant outcomes while expanding access to coordinated postpartum support.
Today, Dr. Cynthia partners with healthcare organizations, employers, researchers, and community leaders who share a vision of transforming postpartum care. Her work is focused on redefining how families are supported after birth by combining physician-led expertise, coordinated care, digital health innovation, and artificial intelligence to create a more proactive, connected, and equitable postpartum care ecosystem.
