Today we have the pleasure of bringing an amazing shop and owner your way with a shop owner
interview featurning the ever wonderful Baby Leche Scarves! I was blessed beyond measure to have
been able to nurse Carter for the first 15 months of his life until he chose that he no longer wanted to
continue (yes, it was a terribly sad day for this momma) and something that I wish we were aware of
when we were nursing was this. A nursing cover that doubles as a scarf that you don't have to
remember to tote everywhere because it is on your neck already? Talk about a win win!
1. When
was Baby Leche created and what inspired your collection?
Baby Leche was created in the spring of this year. I created my own nursing scarf 2 years ago when my daughter was born. I was tired of always having to sift through my diaper bag to find something to cover up with when she was hungry. I wanted something that would always be on me and convenient. I also felt like I had limited options of what I could wear while breastfeeding. I wanted an item that I could accessorize with my outfits and feel cute wearing. The scarf ended up being the one baby item I used every single day. When we found out we were expecting #2, I decided I wanted to improve on my initial scarf and make it available for all breastfeeding moms out there. We make our scarves out of light weight cotton muslin making it comfortable for both mama and baby.
2. When
starting out what were your goals, have you exceeded them?
We are still relatively new to the market but my goals are to reach out to the new moms all over the world and offer a product that will help make breastfeeding on the go more convenient.
3. What
about your business have you found requires most of your time and what is most
rewarding?
The manufacturing process takes the most time. I wanted our scarves to be made in the USA. We work with a small manufacturer in CA and because of this the development process takes time but we are left with a very well made finished product in the end
4. In
your free time what is your favorite hobby to indulge in?
Free time is hard to come by now that #2 arrived last week. But when I do have some time to myself, I love to shop, go out for a nice dinner, or get a good work out in.
5. If
you weren’t a part of the Baby Leche team, what could you see yourself doing?
I also work from home for a brilliant interior designer. I love watching her visions for people's homes come to life. Watching her creativity helps me in my design process for Baby Leche.
6. How
do you find balance between running a business and keeping up with all of
life’s moments?
It's not easy but when you are doing something you love it doesn't feel like work. I do most of my work during nap times and in the evenings. My wonderful husband also helps me keep things running smoothly.
7. How
often does Baby Leche come out with new lines/ideas/pieces?
Right now our initial like line includes scarves in 5 different colors. We plan on continuously improving and adding on to our line. Eventually we will launch new colors/patterns for each season. We would love customer feedback and suggestions on what they'd like to see from us.
8. What
are some of your favorite sales that you run in your shop?
We enjoy doing fun giveaways. We've done one so far and plan to do more in the future.
9. Where
do you see Baby Leche in 5 years from now?
I hope we are a well known brand in the baby industry giving new
moms a fun and stylish product to help them feel
more confident nursing on the go.
For convenience and style look no further, nursing mom's you have
found your must have. Want to win a nursing scarf for yourself?
