Embrace Innovations

Happy Mother's Day! Today, we honor all the selfless mothers we have met on the journey of creating and distributing the Embrace incubators. Through their love, we have helped to save over 300,000 babies. In this Forbes piece, co-founder & CEO Jane Chen talks about how these mothers taught her to intentionally see beauty amidst suffering -- lessons that are particularly important during the time of this pandemic to foster our well-being and resilience.

Social entrepreneur Jane Chen tells what she's learned from watching thousands of new mothers deal with tragecy—and how a subtle shift in what we focus on makes an enormous difference.

Thanks to INSIDER for creating this great video about Embrace and the Embrace infant warmer. We recently launched Little Lotus Baby, a line of baby products that uses similar technology to keep babies at the perfect temperature so they sleep better. For every Little Lotus product purchased, a baby is saved in a developing country with the Embrace warmer. So far the Embrace warmer has helped over 200,000 babies and with Little Lotus we hope to help even more.
