Bambino Goodies review

Bambino Goodies is a lovely site that reviews lovely stuff for mums and little ones. So I am really pleased that Natalie chose to review Mamascarf, used it herself to breastfeed her 5 month old baby Nia and that she really liked it. I believe in my product (well I would wouldn't I?) but I must say, I do always feel a little bit nervous when someone asks/agrees to do an independent review. What if they hate it? What if they write horrible things? They never have (touch wood). Anyway I digress, you can read the review for yourself here. Take a look at the site to.

Celebrity breastfeeding mums love Mamascarf!

I am really excited as I now have a celebrity following(of 2)! I have received a lovely comment from Melanie C (ex Spice Girl) about her Mamascarf (go to the feedback page to see it). Mamascarf is perfect for celebrity mums wanting a bit of privacy for public feeds. I would imagine you would want to be ultra discreet if you were followed around by the press.

As if this was not enough, the same day I had an email from another celeb's agent (not sure if I can say who yet). She had received a Mamascarf at the Baby Show and her agent said she loved it and yes she would like another one in a different colour!! Yay! Now I just need to get them papped using them.

I think it's great that celebrities are open about breastfeeding as they are positive role models and people really do look up to them.

My first blog!

Hi
This is my first blog! I'm not really sure what I am doing but I suppose an introduction would be a good start.

My name is Keira O'Mara and I am a 31 year old mum to Sam, a very lively 2 year old. Whilst on maternity leave, I was made redundant, which made me start thinking seriously about an idea for a new product I had had, whilst breastfeeding Sam. I was never particularly comfortable breastfeeding in public, and was always trying to cover up but found that nothing worked. Blankets overheated him, muslin cloths were pulled off or fell off, scarves blocked my view of my baby. In addition to this my arm and back would ache without my support cushions. When I realised that there was nothing available that would solve all of these problems, I started thinking about creating something that would.

Mamascarf was born! There have been ups and downs along the way but about 8 weeks ago I made the big decision to give up my job to focus on Mamascarf and Sam. Things have been going well, highlights being 2 national TV appearances (This Morning and Working Lunch) being featured in 4 national newspapers and feedback from a teenage mum who said she would not have breastfed were it not for Mamascarf (that made me cry) . Lowlights have been nightmares with suppliers and companies illegally copying my product.
