Posted By SHARON WEATHERALL Posted 22 days ago
When it comes to pregnancy, giving birth and assistive services and products for new parents today, things are changing. Education is key and going back to basics to make deliveries feel natural and moms feel more comfortable are a priority.
As a new mom last year, Tara Crompton noticed a lack of stores in the area that carried specific products she was looking for to prepare for herself and her baby’s needs.
“I had to go to Barrie if I wanted anything,” said Crompton a local business woman, who noticed a niche market in North Simcoe and decided to act on it.
“I had a gift store in Penetanguishene at the time but began looking into opening a store that specifically caters to pregnant women, new moms and baby’s. I was lucky to get this location on King Street in Midland -formerly T&G Fabrics and have been busy renovating the store. I will be celebrating my Grand Opening on April 10. I’m really excited about some of the products that I will be carrying here.”
Bellabump has many unique, natural and environmental products for new moms before and after the birth. For nursing moms Lilypadz’ are silicone pads that fit over and attach to the breast so that mom can go strapless or even braless -one pack of this re-usable item and you are good to go. Bellybands’ compress the tummy and help to get the body back into shape so they are good for moms-to-be who are just starti
ng to show or new moms who are trying to get back into their clothes after the birth. Bellybands come in original and bamboo product for women who have had c-sections. Momzelle’ nursing shirts are stylish, made in Canada and convenient for nursing moms on the go.
“Most of my product lines are made in Canada or come from the States. Bamboo products are environmental and very soft for moms and babies. I have really cute baby LegHuggers’ made of bamboo for babies legs or arms to keep them warm. These come in a variety of colourful patterns for boys and girls,” said Crompton.
“I have wooden beaded baby pacifier attachers that come in designer colours -Keep-it-Kleen pacifiers and baby sunglasses in an assortment of colours. These have become very popular and provide 100 percent UVH/UVB protection. Babies get used to wearing them and I have head bands to help keep them on the baby. Other popular products include Wubba-Nubs’ pacifiers with a stuffy attached for the baby to hold onto, Baby Cubes for freezing food puree’s, baby Belly Blankets for tummy time, diaper clutches that will hold six diapers and travel wipes and more. All of these products are innovative and useful.”
In clothing lines Bellabump has soft and cuddly Bearington Baby’ lamb, puppy, giraffe, leopard and bunny jackets which are lined with satin -a beautiful gift item. For expecting moms there are stylish expectant T shirts for just $20 each.
