Welcome!!

Welcome to our very first communication on behalf of our company KissKiss HugHug!!

To say we’re excited would be putting it mildly, so lets just say we’re exhilarated to be in a business that’s goal is to make it easy for women to breastfeed their beautiful babies in public.

Who are we? We’re two new mum’s who’ve been friends for well over half our lives (which is scary!) who had issues breastfeeding their babies in public. Some people stared, others didn’t know where to look – and some people even commented! It got so bad, Felecia even found herself breastfeeding in the toilets of a Chinese restaurant to avoid breastfeeding in front of others.

So here we are, with our own business hoping to solve the same problem for many other new mums out there. Our aims when we started out were;

• First and foremost we aim to make it easy for women to breastfeed in public. With our unique design, mum and baby can watch each other but still enjoy an element of privacy, feeling confident and self assured.

• Secondly, its all about mum! We want women to feel stylish, not frumpy when they breastfeed their baby. There are other breastfeeding covers on the market, but these are either designed with baby in mind or not designed at all!! That’s why we treat our brand as a fashion label, hand picking all of our fabrics with the stylish mother in mind. Its even reversible so mum can mix and match it with different outfits.

• Thirdly, we wanted to create an affordable solution for new mums. Instead of having to purchase loads of specialized breastfeeding tops, you only need one Bosom Buddy in your wardrobe – and to top it off, it rarely needs washing!

• Finally, we want to solve the problems we faced as new mums for other new mums out there. That’s why we’re continuously thinking about new ingenious inventions we can launch in the future.

So there it, our very first blog – watch this space for more updates from KissKiss HugHug. In the coming weeks, we’ll be publishing some survey results about how people feel about women breastfeeding in public, some serious stuff about what are the laws and some fun stuff like Must Haves for new mums!
