Shelly, the founder of My spoiled Rotten Baby, wrote to me with her story, and it seemed proper for the Rookie mommies audience. After delivering her kid by means of cesarean birth, she made a decision that mommies needed a little a lot more support than she received during her birth experience. She started teaching childbirth education at a prestigious healthcare facility in her area, and spent a lot of time as a labor and postpartum doula.

Eventually, as her personal situation changed, she was no longer able to be in an on-call situation. The desire to stay in the ‘new Mom/ baby’ industry was strong enough for her to take the leap into running a small service full-time as a newly single-mother. Go, Shelly!

Ona povedala:

I wanted to take my passion, combine it with my experience as an educator and doula, and throw in a little fun. Thus, spoiled Rotten baby pertained to be. spoiled Rotten baby is an online luxury and baby gift company featuring some of the products that mommies would love to have, but won’t get on their own. We have 100% organic Egyptian cotton clothing for baby, all-natural products for labor, postpartum, and breastfeeding, chenille and silk-edged blankets, Bumble Bag diaper bags, and more. What makes spoiled Rotten baby stick out is the fact that everything is beautifully hand-packaged in our signature gift boxes; complete with hand-tied bow, linen-textured tissue, and pretty little gift card. luxury that is ready-to-give.

Shelly has other suggestions for new moms, and she’s compiled them into a one-week agenda of complimentary entertainment. even if you don’t live around Issaquah, the outings on this schedule might give you some ideas for new things to try with your baby. (PS If you think Shelly looks too hot to be a rookie mom, don’t worry, she’s had seven years to recover from pregnancy and birth. You’ll get there, too.)
