Leading manufacturer of mattresses, pillows and other bedding products, Mouka, has renewed its unwavering commitment and tradition of enhancing lives by providing quality sleep by welcoming 71 newborns at the dawn of the New Year.
This was in a vibrant collaboration with public healthcare facilities across 15 states, including Lagos, Oyo, Imo, Rivers, Abia, Enugu, Akwa Ibom, Edo, Gombe, Kano and Plateau.
Each family received an array of gifts, including the innovative Mouka Dreamtime Baby Mattresses, thoughtfully designed to provide infants with unparalleled comfort and support, along with pillows, toys, and baby skin care essentials.
In Lagos, Mouka partnered the First Lady of Lagos State, Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, to honour the first babies born in 2026. The event featured visits to the General Hospital Ibeju-Lekki, General Hospital Gbagada and General Hospital Imota, where mothers of newborns received celebratory gifts.
Among the joyous moments, the first baby of the year was a baby girl delivered to Mr. and Mrs. Daramola at exactly 12:00 a.m. at General Hospital Gbagada, while a baby boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. Mayowa at General Hospital Ibeju-Lekki, also at midnight.
Mouka’s Managing Director, Femi Fapohunda, reinforced the brand’s mission to nurture healthy sleep habits from infancy, stating: “As champions of quality sleep, we believe that fostering good sleep practices from the very beginning is vital.
“Our Dreamtime mattress is specially crafted to ensure optimal physical and cognitive development for children,” adding that the mattress is both water-resistant and breathable, promoting a comfortable sleep environment.
Meanwhile, the joy extended beyond Lagos. In Niger State at General Hospital Minna, the first baby, born to Mr. and Mrs. Rahma, was delivered at 1:42 a.m., followed just minutes later by baby Jafar at 2:06 a.m.
Mouka’s representatives visited hospitals nationwide, spreading happiness and cheer to families welcoming New Year babies as part of the brand’s social responsibility across the communities.
Grateful parents expressed deep appreciation for Mouka’s generous initiatives. With a legacy spanning over 66 years, Mouka remains synonymous with trusted sleep solutions, with products all crafted to ensure that Nigerians enjoy restful nights and wake up rejuvenated.
Mouka remains dedicated to sustaining its rich tradition of support and care, paving the way for healthier, happier families throughout Nigeria.
