The DL on Jellyfish: Our Newest Print
"Aurelia"
In celebration of "Earth Day 2021", we are launching a new design called "Aurelia," which comes from the scientific name of a Jellyfish. Aurelia aurita or known as moon jellyfish is the most popular among the Jellyfish species. It has an umbrella-shaped membrane with tentacles and has a translucent body that usually drifts with the current and moves in limited motion. The Aurelia species can be found on the eastern Atlantic coast of Northern Europe, the western Atlantic coast of North America in New England, and Eastern Canada.
We won't contest that it is truly amazing to stare at these creatures. Their color, shape, and glow bring the charm out of them. We also know that most of them can sting despite their pretty looks. You may not know much about the world of jellyfishes but let us share with you the wonders and amazing powers of these soft jelly critters.
What Jellyfishes Can Offer?
Did you know that jellyfishes are a source of collagen? You heard that right! Collagen is being used in medical reconstructive surgeries and wound dressings. According to a study from sciencedirect.com, it was concluded that collagen obtained from jellyfish (Rhopilema esculentum) quickens the wound healing process.
The discovery that benefited mankind is the GFP or the green fluorescent protein. This protein is found on Aequorea Victoria, a type of jellyfish. Three of its proteins create a structure that releases visible green fluorescent light. This light is used to study cells in embryos or fetuses during the growth process. The said protein is used as a biomarker by scientists to study genes in real-time. It was very helpful in medical research and was utilized in more than 30,000 studies that include Alzheimer’s and HIV diseases.
With the said benefits, you may be thinking that jellyfishes can become extinct. Worry not, earth-lover! Jellyfish reproduce in great numbers. There are not many predators that prey on these gelatinous organisms. Overfishing and climate changes contribute to their proliferation. Low concentration of oxygen and increased temperatures are often the causes of jellyfish bloom.
Aurelia's Purpose
While these cute creatures look good in our belly band and with our mission to soothe babies, one belly at a time, we would also like to give back to the environment, especially to the sea. In our little way, we are proud to support "Oceanic Preservation Society" a non-profit charitable organization based in California that organizes advocacies and campaigns to protect the planet. Their mission is to give voice to the voiceless by exposing the most critical issues that our planet is facing through high-impact films and visual storytelling. We are grateful for organizations like these. May they find success and carry their mission to future generations. Giving efforts to help our planet can make a huge difference, no matter how big or small.

How Families Can Embrace Simple Self-Care to Soothe Fussiness & Stress
This blog explains how simple family self-care routines can help reduce stress when caring for a colicky or frequently crying baby. When an infant is uncomfortable, the entire household can feel overwhelmed and exhausted. The article emphasizes that small, consistent habits can support both parent wellbeing and baby comfort, creating a calmer home environment.
It highlights practical strategies such as short daily walks, simple meal routines, quick breathing exercises, reduced screen time before bed, and consistent sleep cues. These small habits help regulate stress, improve family rhythms, and make it easier for parents to respond calmly during fussy moments.
The blog also suggests creating a simple 10-minute plan for difficult times of day, with a short parent reset (breathing, relaxing shoulders, softening the voice) followed by a consistent soothing routine for the baby. Repeating small, predictable actions helps both parents and babies feel more secure.
Overall, the message is that tiny, repeatable self-care practices can build family resilience, reduce overwhelm, and create a more peaceful routine—even during challenging colic phases.
