Discover Breastfeeding Privacy: The Go! Pillow
I love inventive moms! I especially love inventive moms who create solutions for public breastfeeding.Tangela Walker-Craft, a Lakeland, Florida stay-at-home mom and inventor, wanted to find a way to nurse her infants without showing skin, so she put her creative skills to good use and developed the Go! Pillow, a multipurpose portable pillow and blanket.
"I breastfed my daughter for two years and needed a child care product that would allow for public breastfeeding while maintaining privacy," said Craft. "I couldn't find what I needed, so I invented a multipurpose product and got it patented. It's useful for many child care needs."
According to Simply Necessary, Inc, the company Craft started in 2005 to sell her product, the Go! Pillow is excellent for many uses including:
- Breast feeding pillow with built-in privacy cover-up
- Pillow and body wrap for babies
- Portable toddler pillow and blanket
- Portable diaper changing surface
- Sun and wind shield for babies and toddlers
- Arm cushion for carrying babies and toddlers
- Extra hand during diaper changes etc.
- Arm warmer during cold weather (especially during outdoor activities)
- Travel Pillow for all ages
After spending $21,000 to get the Go! Pillow patented, developed, manufactured and marketed, Craft is looking forward to getting her product in the hands of breastfeeding moms and moms of little ones all across the country. Current colors include Ultra Plush Baby Pink and Ultra Plush Baby Blue and range in price from $24.95 to $29.95 -- very affordable!
Since I'm pretty vocal about my stance on public breastfeeding, I believe the Go! Pillow can prevent a lot of the ugly stares and complaints against nursing moms and infants still get to nurse in peace. The Go! Pillow is a definite must-have for moms everywhere.
