Most
inventions are the result of a need. The bottle
sling is no exception and it came about because I needed
help feeding my daughter at 5:00 AM while trying to get
ready for work that started at 6:30 AM. My daughter
was something of a slow poke eating in the morning and she
liked to take her time but I didn't have an hour to feed
her. I tried propping a bottle while I was drying my
hair but it was obvious that as she became more active
nothing that rested on the chest would work. I decided that there must be a way to hold
the bottle at the correct angle for the baby while
ensuring that the common movements of the infant would
not interfere with its use. Since I am also an
engineer, I knew the best way to do it would be to suspend
the bottle. This way the bottle would always remain
or return to position in front of the baby's mouth and the
baby could practice holding the bottle.
I
discovered that the product was handy to have for other
times when I needed an extra hand and every time I used it
in public I kept having people stop me to ask where I got
it. So I thought, I develop products for my employer
... why not one for myself.
After
several years of selling the original red bottle sling, I
asked all my customers what they would like to see
different in the bottle sling. Everyone liked how it
functioned but I had some who said they wished it were in
a different color while others wanted a different type of
fabric. However I had one customer who wanted it to
be more toy-like. So I looked at the product and
said to myself ... I can do that. Within a few
months the monkey bottle sling was created. Now I
have a puppy and a kitten as well as new colors for the
monkey. I really try to listen to the customer and
am striving to continually make the product better.
I welcome any suggestions for improvement.
To
give you some background on myself, I am a
Christian. I love the Lord and He continually
blesses my family. This is not to say I don't have
trials and tribulations as my husband and I have been laid
off 4 times and have had to move 4 times in the last 7
years. However, I have a wonderful husband and 2
beautiful children and what more could anyone desire in
life. I enjoy helping people and want this product
to be of assistance to those who purchase it. I
believe the customer should be satisfied and I will refund
your money, no questions asked, if you aren't happy.
And if you are happy with the product, I'd love to hear
from you too so I can add your testimonial and have a
bright spot in my day.
Best
Regards,
Cherie
