The Most Precious Way To Wear Your New Baby

The Most Precious Way To Wear Your New Baby

We tried to wait to review Lalabu til our new baby arrived (#3 is due in 2 weeks!) really, we did, but it was just impossible – this product (and company) is too special not to mention asap! The Lalabu Soothe Shirt® is a stylish top for mom, cozy pouch for baby, and nursing bra all-in-one — made in the USA.  So it’s babywearing 2.0, easier than putting on a carrier, comfier than strapping on an elaborate wrap, and has the bonus of making breastfeeding a snap. If you have a friend having a baby, this is the ultimate gift that nobody else will be cool enough to buy her. To sweeten the already beautiful magic of this one-of-a-kind product,  it’s a woman/ momtrepeneur owned company that gives back in heart and finance. And don’t worry, sister Rainbow Bright, it comes in colors other than black.

Keri – mom to Levi and Founder of Lalabu – created this company after a family trip to Burkina Faso, Africa in 2009. She was in the village of Djibasso staying with Lalabu, mother to 7 including newborn twins.  Like many moms in the USA, Lalabu was a working mom and needed a way to keep her children close and comforted but with the option to get things done.  After Lalabu saw Keri’s intrigue, she taught Keri to wear her son on her back the same way she did.  Keri was amazed at how easy and comfortable it was, and it fueled a desire to start a business that was about more than just profit, but close to the ethos of babywearing.  Keri named her business Lalabu in her honor and created the 2% For Moms giving model.  Simply put – Lalabu gives 2% of all sales back to moms in Africa, supporting mom entrepreneurs through micro-finance.  Her team also volunteers one week each year to help women in need.
