When nursing in public, many moms have to use cumbersome blankets that cover their babies. But nursing is a time of bonding, a great opportunity for eye contact and communication. A New York mom of four developed a patented nursing product called BabyBond™ that covers mom, but not baby.
In 2007, Missy Reder launched Slurp & Burp®, which is adding a third line of BabyBond products this month. The newest product can be worn like a sash or belly band, and is different than others on the market because it is adjustable and can accommodate the mom's changing body after giving birth.
The three BabyBond products work with all ages of nursing children. One product has a built-in burp cloth, one has a detachable burp cloth and the newest product does not have a burp cloth.
The key features of the BabyBond products include:
BabyBond product are receiving national attention by the media and parenting blogs.
Distributor Noelle Kahne of Gossette said that the products allow you to wear your regular wardrobe and not feel like a "walking tent" with the cumbersome apron-style covers.
"It supports bonding by allowing mom and baby to enjoy uninterrupted eye contact," she said. "Also, there is also no power struggle as the child gets older for them to remain covered while they eat, which again helps with mom and baby bonding as the power struggle can impede nursing enjoyment."
Kahne believes that more women would nurse longer if they used the BabyBond products.
