If you are or have been a breastfeeding mother, then you can relate to how challenging it can be to nurse a baby out in public without arm support. Not only can it be tiring on your arms and shoulders, but it can be difficult to get your baby to latch without somewhat setting him/her down.
I remember when I first brought my daughter home from the hospital. We were welcomed home by a group of our family members who were so excited to meet our new baby. My daughter was and still is a “3-hour” feeder. She’s hungry for milk every 3 hours. I remember attempting to nurse her with the nursing cover (barely covering me) in front of my family, without a pillow to support her. I had to ask for my husbands help to either hold her while I got her to latch or have him get her to latch while I held her. It was a bit stressful.
Patricia Peters, the President of Warm Milk, Inc. seemed to face the same issues I was facing. Here is a little bit of Patricia’s story:
“When our daughter, Penelope, was born in 2004, I was determined to breast feed her. The first few weeks were challenging, but once I had mastered the “latch” and the position of my nursing pillow I finally achieved some success… that is, untiI I started to get out and about. Then I was presented with a whole new set of challenges.
While waiting in the waiting room on my first trip to the doctor’s office Penelope began to get hungry. With no nursing pillow in sight and my daughter growing increasingly impatient, I grabbed my diaper bag and draped a blanket over it, essentially converting it into a nursing pillow! At that moment, the idea for a convertible diaper bag was born.”
Patricia was kind enough to let me test out and review one of her Hobo Couture Diaper bags. I chose the “Out of the Blue” bag because of the color and fabric. I figured this bag would match most of my wardrobe because I usually wear dark denim.
