Us

Hi my name is Ana,

I am very happy to share with you a little bit of our life story and how this beautiful idea was born. The reality is that I did not sit down with a pencil and paper to think about an invention, like all inventions, it was born from lovingly solving a need.

Adrian, my second son, was my inspiration for creating the Fetal Position Assistant. When he was born we had moved 1 month from the country, from Mexico City to Los Angeles CA. This change of country represented a great challenge for everyone, especially for my 6-year-old daughter Julia.

A few weeks after Adrian's birth, Julia entered Elementary School. She arrived very excited to her new school, however, they spoke a language that of course she did not master, even though her kindergarten was bilingual, she knew colors, days of the week, you know... very basic things, so, in addition to that, I had just gone from being an only child to “The Big Sister”, I was dealing with a different language, a different country, changed grades, making new friends, since we didn't know anyone. We knew that the challenge she had was strong and we were very clear that the support of us parents was essential, although we also went crazy dealing with our changes. So, despite our fatigue, multiple worries and challenges that each of us had every day, we tried to give Julia a lot of quality time. I tell you the context because I think it will be easier for me to describe how and why I was looking for a solution to a need that I also wanted to cover.

Parallel to this, the newborn Adrian, of course, required my full and absolute attention for his care and our adaptation process, he to the world and I to him. As the days went by, I got to know him more, no child is the same as the other, he was very demanding, it seemed like he knew when I was leaving him, even if his eyes were closed. How wonderful, despite being so small, they recognize your aroma, your voice, your heartbeat, everything about you. As the days went by I realized that when for some reason he was on his side, he would immediately flex his legs and arms with his little fists closed and thus he would remain very calm, his face reflected peace, comfort and that is how I began to identify her as his favorite position. It made me very tender because I thought, of course, that's the position you had inside me all this time.

Meanwhile, I paid close attention to not losing communication and connection with Julia. I made her breakfast, lunch and dinner moments to sit with her at the table while she ate. Try to make those 15 or 20 minutes of attention for her, serving her food, talking, hugging her, etc. It began to happen more frequently that when these moments came Adrian would be awake, so I would lay him close to me in the fetal position that I ingeniously achieved by rolling up towels and blankets to give him support and support to maintain that position for longer and it worked perfectly, like this. who increasingly used the technique.

And since babies sleep less as they grow, every time he was awake and I needed to do something where I couldn't hold him, I would adjust him and he would work perfectly, until he lost his shape. The magic ended when the rolled up blankets lost their firmness, as she began to cry or become uncomfortable. It was then, that one night while everyone was asleep I started searching online for something that would help me keep him in the fetal position, it was so normal for me that he liked that position, that I assumed that something already existed to help achieve fetal position. fetal position.

My surprise is that I found absolutely nothing, nothing, nothing. I couldn't believe it, it was so useful to me, it was so obvious that babies liked it so I spent all night researching on different platforms, I googled it with different words and nothing. With much disappointment and bewilderment I gave up on finding anything. And I asked myself in amazement, is my son the only one who likes that position? to which I immediately answered, of course NO... how is it possible that NOTHING exists! At that moment my heart began to beat very hard, I don't know how to describe the sensation, it was between emotion, responsibility, fear, as if I had discovered something where there was no turning back, my conscience knew it, it was in my hands, I don't know how to describe it I think That was an aha moment . At this moment, remembering that night, my skin crawls with a lump in my throat, I don't think I had stopped to think about that day, at that moment.

The next day I was very excited to do it myself, I was sure that a “C” or “L” shaped pillow sausage was all I needed and that's how it all began. I asked an acquaintance who had a sewing machine to please sew the cuts that I had, one in “C” and another in “L” and once she finished I went home to fill them in. Very excited, I tried them with Adrián and no, well. Not to mention the judge was demanding, Adrian immediately disapproved, there was nothing comfortable about it. To cut a long story short, it was until the 15th. When I tried to find the design of the Fetal Position Assistant that we know today, I ended up buying a sewing machine and learned how to use it on YouTube. I didn't stop until when I tried it with Adrian I saw exactly what I wanted, something that hugged the baby delicately but with the necessary consistency and didn't lose its shape. It was magical when he used it, he really liked it and I loved seeing him happy in that “something” that existed in my head and had finally taken shape.

However, the litmus test was missing: Could it be that another baby would also like it the same? I soon found out that my husband's boss's cousin had just had a baby, I contacted his wife and went to see her, her name is Stephanie, it was her second baby, Dylan. I arrived at a beautiful house in an exclusive area with my gift, a Fetal Position Assistant. I told him that it was an invention that I made for my son and his son would be the second baby to try it, I explained how to use it and that he should please write to me to tell me what he thought. Very nice, she agreed to give me feedback and we exchanged phones.

I was with all the uncertainty in the world... waiting for that call or message from the first minute I left his house. Two days passed and he didn't write to me... so I got up the courage and wrote to him asking how he was doing, about the baby and of course to know what he thought of the Pillow, his response confirmed what I had assumed:

• Ana, you have to make it known, we love it!

From that moment on I felt the enormous responsibility to share it. This is how Baby Baybo Company was born with the intention of sharing what worked for me.

In the photo Steph with her 2 children and me with my 2; Julia and Adrián. Very nice Steph agreed to do a photo session at her house with Dylan to introduce the Fetal Position Assistant. Thank you Dylan for being the first BABY BAYBO model. We carry them in our hearts.

I say goodbye by emphasizing that I am an advocate that nothing can replace you, skin-to-skin contact is essential for them to smell your aroma, feel your skin and be close for as long as possible, creating that beautiful connection. However, we all go through similar situations, every day is a great challenge and letting your baby cry because you have to do things that prevent you from holding them in your arms makes you feel like the worst mother in the world. The Fetal Position Assistant as its name says, assists you for short periods of time, the cozy and warm Assistant will make your baby feel calm and you, mom, will feel that you are doing a great job.

Fondly,

Ana
