I was so excited to get started I didn’t introduce myself (how rude).  My name is Phylana Stowers I am the mother of 5 children (age 11-7-6-3-3), a registered nurse that has worked mostly in all areas of Maternity Units (Prenatal, Labor & Delivery, Post Partum, Newborn Nursery), but I have also worked on Mental Health   and Pediatric Units as well.  Recently I have been working as a night baby nurse to a professional couple on the weekends,  and of course I am the owner of Stowers Swaddlers and Stationery.

I created a product named The Stowers Swaddler which is a infant swaddling blanket that I made for my sister and nephew because she was having problems with swaddling.  I tried to put all the knowledge I learned from teaching hundreds of caregivers how to swaddle their babies into this product.  My sister loved the blanket and got months worth of sleep from it, and when both of us went to baby showers we would take them to our friends.  They were a hit and people asked why I didn’t sell them.

I took them to the Inpex International Invention Convention and couldn’t believe that we won the gold medal for our division.  Since then we have gotten a website together, made a couple more products (Baby Buddy Burp Cloths) and started designing hand decorated cards. 

It takes a lot to get a baby product to market, but I think the hardest part is getting exposure.  What is the most unique way you have ever gotten exposure for your product or service?
