Newest Pregnancy Must-Have Turns A Baby Bump Into Belly Banter
And Once Baby Arrives Capture The First Year With Onesie Stickers
|
Plainfield, IL (November 10, 2011) – Is she pregnant? Having a girl? Twins? Sometimes folks ask the most personal questions when your midsection shows a baby bump. Sassy online retailer SlickSugar has created Belly Banter where moms-to-be can tell the world how they’re feeling without saying a word! Peel-and-stick expressions like “love makes the belly go round” look great on any clothing. And once baby arrives there’s a sticker set to mark the first 12 months of “here-I-am” in pictures or cruising in the stroller.
Up until now if you posed for a photograph in your second trimester of pregnancy or snapped a picture of baby, you’d flip the photo over and write a note on the back marking the milestone. With a Belly Banter decal prominently seen in the photograph, the trimester or baby month marker is brightly showcased in a 4” round sticker for all to see. Use it once or use it often when taking photographs, creating a scrapbook or just to show off walking around the mall.
The two unique set of stickers – one for pregnancy and one for newborns – celebrate the wonder of nine months followed by twelve months of giggles and wiggles. Expressions like “running out of womb” and “grown with love” are whimsical and fashionable. Priced at $14.99, Belly Banter sets feature a total of 15 stickers. Snap a photo wearing “2nd trimester” or “I love pickles” and create a keepsake for a pregnancy journal or Facebook profile. After the birth, dress baby each month with a fresh onesie sticker and watch how he changes in just 365 days.
The concept for Belly Banter’s product line came out of a real-life need for pregnancy updates from long distance relatives of Scott and Jennifer Mills, proprietors of e-tailer Slick Sugar.
“My husband and I are originally from Iowa,” recalled Mills, a mother of two preschoolers, “and all of our family is still there. During my pregnancies and after we had the children, we were getting weekly requests for pictures, pictures & more pictures. I am sure many parents can relate! Belly Banter was the perfect solution and our customers have been so creative with the product.”
“What I love about Belly Banter,” explains About.com Pregnancy & Childbirth columnist Robin Elise Weiss, “is that it's a simple solution to a unique pregnancy problem - how to document the important milestone of pregnancy without spending a ton of money. Here are fifteen stickers to announce a new milestone or capture a funny thought in pregnancy.”
“The trend of taking monthly pictures of your baby has been around a long time (I did it with my oldest, who is 9),” writes Spilling the Beans mommy blog. “Back in the old days, I made a sign on a piece of paper that said “Today Audrey is 3 months old!” and then I took a picture of her next to the sign. At 3 months old it was fine. But by the time she was 7 months old, she was way more interested in eating the sign than in posing for the picture. Belly Banter solves that problem brilliantly with a series of cute, removable decals that you can adhere to a simple, white onesie.”
