Why did a mechanical engineer start a company providing baby and parenting products? You won’t be the first to ask!
When our son Philip was born in 2013, we got thrown head-first into the jungle that is parenting. You have certainly seen enough friends and family members embark on this journey, and yet you are completely unprepared for the realities of parenthood.Â
Just as we had to learn to raise a child, Phillip had to learn to adapt from womb to world.
Like all other new parents, we reverted to trail and error, searching for the best options for us and our baby. We found all the information on the internet along with the advice from everyone around us to be overwhelming and confusing.
We felt unsure about what to buy in preparation for our new baby. With so many products available, we ended up buying way more stuff than what we actually needed.
This was an expensive exercise. Ironically you only realize what you actually need once your baby arrives. And the fact that a friend used a product for her baby does not mean that you will use it for yours.
Awaiting the birth of your child is an exciting time, and kitting out the nursery is part of that.
But back to the story
The above journey led to the creation of BabyWombWorld in 2015.
In at the adjustment from womb to world, the combination of the instinctive loving care of a mother and the analytical engineering background of a father, resulted in the launch of the first BabyWombWorld product–Â The BabyWombWorld Ring Sling!
Many people do not like a ring sling; in our case it was a life saver! We used our ring sling daily and when Phillip got irritated or difficult, he went into the sling and within minutes he calmed down or even fell asleep. We took this sling wherever we went. In my view, this was the most important and best baby product we had with both our children! And yet nobody told us to buy one beforehand.

Philip is turning 9 this year, and has since gotten a sister (Lana) who is turning 7. If there is one thing we have learned it is that the ‘perfect’ parenting pictures that you see on social media do not exist in real life.Â
The truth is that parenting can be hard. All parents will agree on that, and yet many feel that they are alone in their struggles. I can promise you that is not the case!
Be sure to also check out our YouTube Channel called “Moms We Love“. I believe it is important for moms to share information and that is exactly what we want to achieve with Moms We Love.
