Batik Bum Herstory About Me
My name is Jessica and have designed and grown Batik BUm into the happy WAHM biz that it is today. It all started long before I had my first child. I was a natural girl with a flower in her hair enjoying nature in all her beauty. As a student of midwifery and a doula for mothers in childbirth, I loved all of the cloth diapers, baby carriers, and natural products I saw all around me. I studied herbal medicine and made natural body care for years. The herbal diaper salve was a huge benifit for babies and families. Thus began my path to natural family products.
When I met my wonderful husband and we set out on the parenting journey with our first child I was thrilled to be able to collect cloth diapers . I am proud to say that all 3 of my sons were cloth diapered from birth and the last two used diapers I made. My designs have come a long way in 6 years. I am excited to be able to continue my passion of natural alternatives to the garbage diapers filling up the land. I use recycled, organic , and eco concious fabrics for my products. You will find that there is a difference!
I believe that by more frequent and mindful diaper changes we help our babies stay connected to elimination and build a strong and important trust by respecting their bodies. Many babies I know who's parents used a combination of cloth diapers and Elimination Communication have infants who were potty learning at 12-18months. Much better than the 3 year average of children in disposible diapers of the USA today. If anything, this should be a moving testimonial to cloth diapers!
I am so blessed to be able stay home with my children. Along with the daily Home Learning we thrive on, Batik Bum has become a family focus. Often sewing is a daily project for me and every day I am working on some aspect of this buisiness. Each item sewn takes a lot of time apart from the actual sewing. For example;emailing customers,daily trips to the USPS, ordering fabric, testing it, thrift store shopping for wool more than once a week to collect the very best items out there,washing it, cutting it, sewing it into a diaper or clothing, and then listing it with pictures and descriptions make it hard to earn a decent hourly wage. Please keep this in mind when you shop homade goods you are getting a mothers precious time and love. Thank you for supporting WAHM's. ( work at home mom) I hope you are pleased with what you find from my heart.
I am so proud that today I have over 230 positive feedbacks and strive to make each customer happy. Please leave feedback for me on Hyena Cart! |
