BabyBond Nursing Review & Giveaway
Breastfeeding is a near and dear subject to me. Many don’t know that I breastfed both of my sons until they were 15 months of age. I unfortunately never found a way to comfortably nurse my children in public until now with the company BabyBond. First a little about the creator of BabyBond:
I learned that preverbal skills, eye contact, and attention are vital to cognitive and language development as I trained to become a Speech-Language Pathologist. However, it wasn’t until I became a mother that I fully understood and lived these truths. I believe every experience is a learning experience and that breastfeeding offers infinite opportunity to interact and communicate with your baby. And, although not typical, each of our four children spoke in eight word sentences by age two.
My determination to incorporate breastfeeding into my lifestyle meant nursing in public everywhere. It also taught me a lot about myself. I discovered that refusing to cover my baby’s head while nursing did not leave many options. I did not feel attractive when I lifted my shirt to nurse because I found myself slouching forward and it revealed my postnatal stomach and back. I also felt that by exposing my breasts, the intimacy shared between my husband and me was somehow compromised… I wanted to keep some things just for us. Please understand that these are my feelings based on my experience, and I understand that each of us has our own unique perception.
After having four babies, my closet was full of nursing tops that were not flattering and quite pricey. In December, 2006 during a 2 am feeding, I envisioned a nursing accessory that would cover mom but not her baby. The next morning, I cut and sewed one of my husband’s t-shirts into the prototype for the Slurp & Burp®. Since then, I have designed three product lines to meet the needs of a variety of nursing moms and babies. We have since rebranded to BabyBond™, a name that highlights the primary benefit of our products.
BabyBond™ nursing accessories cover mom, not her baby. Mom is able to maintain her modesty without leaving the room. Baby remains uncovered benefiting from the infinite opportunity to make eye contact, interact, and communicate. After all, dining is social.
I was able to review the BabyBond Orginal:
BabyBond Original™ is worn like a sash, functioning like a nursing top. Nurse from the top of your shirt. Separate the layers of fabric to achieve latch on. Double panel keeps breast covered above & below. Belly & back remain covered with your own shirt. Built-in 9 x 12? double layer terry velour burp cloth. Stores in matching pouch. Retails for $35.00.
My take: While I am not currently breastfeeding I was really interested in BabyBond simply because I have never seen anything like it before. Both of my boys couldn’t tolerate being covered by a typical nursing cover. My youngest one would not even nurse because he was focused on removing the object covering his head. I put this on and was amazed at how comfortable it is. I love that you and your baby are able to maintain that all important eye contact while nursing. There are no gaps so you don’t have to be worried about exposing yourself.
