By the time I was expecting my second child, I thought for sure that someone would have designed an affordable, stylish, and practical nursing cover, but I searched to no avail. This time I turned my frustrations into being productive. I enjoy sewing, so I decided I was going to create my own and have it be everything that I would want: modish, affordable, and easy to use. I pulled out my sewing machine and got to work. I went through several different designs before settling on this one which is everything I wanted, so I knew it would be everything any nursing mom would want. After making one for myself and for several friends as gifts, I couldn’t believe how many people were asking where they could get one. I constantly was told that I needed to make a website, and I thought to myself, “I should”, but never did. I decided to turn my “I should” into “I am” and here is the birth of my efforts. The demand for our product is starting to spread and I have now enlisted the help of my sister, Kathryn Garcia, who is also a nursing mother of two, to help in the creation of The Mother Cover. She has been as dedicated as I contributing her time, support, and ideas; she is an invaluable asset to the company. Please, if you are struggling, check out our resources page to find the support that you need. There were many days and nights I thought that I couldn’t go on nursing one more day, but I did, thanks to many supportive friends and family. Please check out our resources page, or post a question on our bulletin board if you need support or encouragement. I welcome any questions or feedback you might have, and I sincerely hope that with The Mother Cover, you will find confidence and pride in your decision to breastfeed. So many mothers out there stop breastfeeding for one reason or another, and I sincerely hope that you will cherish the beauty and importance of the best gift you can give your baby. All our best, happy nursing, Erica Herrera and Kathryn Garcia |
