About the Mom Entrepreneur/Inventor:

I'm Natascia the creator of the Cover-Me and founder of Little Carr, LLC,

Being a busy mother of three I developed the Cover-Me strap out of pure necessity.  I never purchased a shawl or nursing cover as I felt that it just took up room in my diaper bag and was one more thing I would need to wash, plus I didn't want to spend $35 on a nursing cover that would just be one wrinkled mess when I went to use it!

One afternoon I was nursing my daughter at a park and just couldn't manage to keep her blanket draped over my shoulder.  I  shoved the corners of her blanket under my bra straps in an attempt to lock it in place to keep us covered, but it wouldn't stay put.  I was fidgeting and my daughter was growing ever more frustrated when I thought.....why isn't there a strap to keep blankets in place? I wanted a strap that was sturdy, sporty, stylish, and would work.  After finding the hardware and hiring a seamstress to make one for me to use, I realized that there was definitely a market and moms everywhere would love the Cover-Me! 

What was initially designed as a tool to help moms breastfeed in public has truly become a tool that all moms need!  I love getting emails from moms about the new ways they create cover with the Cover-Me.
