GIVEAWAY: 10 Parenting Products, 10 Winners
When Mazzy was born, I imagined I would come up with an amazing parenting invention that would be easy to market, quick to manufacture and change the lives of every parent in the world, making me filthy stinking rich in the process.
Sadly, that never happened.
I did have an idea for a Burp Cloth Mitt, since I was constantly folding burp cloths over my hand to clean up spit-up… but gave it up as soon as I realized Burp Cloth Mitts were the lamest invention imaginable. I had another idea for a screw-on sippy cap adapter for a standard bottle of water, which I thought would be HUGE, until a google search revealed it was already being made by about five other companies.
But there are tons of moms who come up with original ideas and make their parenting inventions a reality. A group of twenty Mompreneurs got together to see if I would write a sponsored post about their respective Momventions. I loved learning the stories behind each mom's product (all currently available for sale) and decided to split them into two posts.
Here are the first ten Momventions with the stories behind each idea and how each mom turned their idea into a business. Plus special offers for Mommy Shorts readers throughout and a big giveaway at the end of the post.
Momvention #1: Baby Bindle SeatPak ($29.99)
Mom: Sandra Frawley
What is it?
The SeatPak is a hands-free portable bag that can easily attach to your car seat, shopping cart, luggage, or stroller.
What gave you the idea?
After my daughter was born in July of 2009, doing errands became a circus juggling act, trying to hold the car seat, diaper bag, my daughter's coat and my son’s hand all at once. I tried to find a bag that attached to the carseat so I would have one less thing to carry, but couldn't find anything. My next step was dusting off the sewing machine and making one myself.
How did you turn it into a business?
The SeatPak idea sat on the shelf for 6 months because I was afraid I'd go into debt chasing something that might not work. Then, in July of 2010, I got a $15K grant from the Huggies MomInspired program which was a HUGE validation for me. I haven’t looked back since.

Momvention #2: The Milk It Kit ($14.95)
Mom: Courtney Uyeshiro
What is it?
The Milk It Kit is a "Back to Work Survival Kit for Breastfeeding Moms" including a door hanger privacy sign, a pump bag tag (luggage tag), two "back in twenty" desk signs, 32 milk labels (removable, writable and freezer-safe) and 3 Milk It™ stickers.
What gave you the idea?
I wanted to create a kit that would give new moms tools to feel good when they went back to work, provide a sense of privacy, and add a little fun to the repetitive (and often tedious) task of pumping milk. The Milk It Kit helps prevent co-workers from walking in on pumping sessions and making comments about unmarked breastmilk in the community fridge (i.e. “what is THAT?”). It also helps traveling moms transport their milk in a clearly labeled cooler bag so airport security doesn't ask annoying questions in front of other travelers.
How did you turn it into a business?
I met an amazing graphic designer in Boulder, CO (who also happened to be a working mom!) and she and I worked together to create a variety of products with a vintage vibe that we ourselves would love to use. They are both mom-friendly and environment-friendly.
Special Offer: 10% off for Milk It with code Mommyshorts10.

Momvention #3: PooPoose Wiggle Free Diaper Changing Pad ($59.99)
Mom: Dana Fort
What is it?
The PooPoose is high quality diaper changing pad with a wiggle free strap that makes diaper changing faster, easier, and safer.
What gave you the idea?
My husband, an ER physician, had seen too many infants in the hospital, most due to accidental falls during routine tasks, like changing a wiggly baby with a messy diaper. We both knew there had to be a better and safer way. I searched the internet and found many moms in the same boat, with no real solution. I work as a dentist and it suddenly occurred to me— why isn’t there a similar board like the one used in pediatricdentistry and medicine to keep kids still? The medical community calls it "a papoose board". That's when we came up with the idea for the PooPoose™!
What would you like to invent next?
A better strap that helps keep kids in restaurant high chairs. My daughter is a true Houdini.

—————————————–
Momvention #4: Baby Jack Blankets ($28)
Mom: Kelley Legler
What is it?
Baby Jack Blankets are ribbon tab sensory blankets that come in a variety of colors, patterns and textures ideal for helping babies develop cognitively, socially and emotionally.
What gave you the idea?
My son Jack loves tags. When I was let go from my marketing job after returning from maternity leave, I needed a creative outlet and took up sewing. Many tag blankets on the market have ribbon loops along the edges but I decided to create a product with an added security feature, sewing the ribbons shut into “tabs” so baby fingers do not get twisted during play.
How did you turn it into a business?
I was a new mom, at home full time having just been let go from my job and I saw a product that little ones loved. I marketed Baby Jack Blankets first on Facebook and then created an ecommerce website myself allowing for others to customize their blankets. Now, we employ local moms to hand make our products for added income and a creative outlet.

Momvention #5: Push Pack – Prepacked Hospital Bag ($44.95)
Mom: Laura Magu
What is it?
The Push Pack – Prepacked Hospital Bag contains all your maternity ward essentials from toothpaste to nipple cream to Luna Bars.
What gave you the idea?
While pregnant for the first time, the "simple" task of packing my hospital bag felt overwhelming to me. One day I asked a local maternity store if I could just buy a bag that would have all of the essentials. She said no, but that women asked for that exact thing all the time.
How did you turn it into a business?
After my daughter was born, I started making up prepacked hospital bags for baby shower gifts. Everyone loved them and people began asking if they could buy them for gifts for their friends. It evolved from there.
Special Offer: Use coupon code Mommyshorts10 for 10% off Push Pack – Prepacked Hospital Bag.
—————————————–
Momvention #6: Tivoli Stroller Liner ($78.99)
Mom: Stella Rubinshteyn
What is it?
Tivoli Couture makes luxury memory foam stroller liners in a variety of stylish patterns that mold to your baby's body shape for extra comfort. They help absorb stroller shock, safeguard from metal protrusions often found in umbrella-style strollers and are recommended to help avoid musculoskeletal stress and correct anatomical development. They also protect strollers from spills, crumbs and other unmentionables.
What gave you the idea?
I am originally from Europe, where it’s common practice to place children inside a stroller lined with a cotton blanket or a buggy liner so it's soft, comfortable and clean. Typical American stroller upholstery is not removable or machine washable, and may feel abrasive on your baby’s skin. The only liner I could find in the American market was a traditional white liner with ruffles, something that just did not cut it for my sons.
How did you turn it into a business?
After realizing there was a gap in the market for stylish stroller liners in fun modern designs and prints that can coordinate with any popular stroller brand, I set out to create my own line.
Special Offer: 15% off Tivoli Couture if you use code MSHOLIDAY15.

Momvention #7: Benbini Mommy Watch ($99)
Moms: Jacqueline Crisci & Jenny Fosgate
What is it?
Benbini is a soft, stylish and super functional watch with a patented double-bezel design for easy timing of naps, feedings and time-outs. It's even got a left/right switch so you can easily record which boob you nursed with last.
What gave you the idea?
Jacqueline saw a need for a subtle way to track her son's many schedules from feedings to naps to medicine. Jenny wanted a watch that did not scratch her baby and fit comfortably. They both wanted a cute accessory to get excited about while recovering from their post pregnancy body. Benbini was born!
How did you turn it into a business?
We had to handle all aspects of the business from product design to manufacturing to marketing including all of the administration duties. We came up with the idea 6.5 years ago and Benbini just hit the market a little over a year ago. Entrepreneurship is not for quitters. We never gave up!
Special Offer: Get 10% off Benbini by using code MommyShort10.
—————————————–
Momvention #8: Parking Pal (2 for $18)
Mom: Denise Whitney
What is it?
Parking Pal is a circular magnet that sticks to the side of your car.
What gave you the idea?
After having my third child, I found myself very stressed out in parking lots trying to manage two other kids while getting the baby in and out of the van. The idea of a magnet with a hand outline came to me. I wanted to give my kids a visual of exactly where to stand while waiting for me outside of the car.
How did you turn it into a business?
The first thing I did was get my mom on board as a partner. We work well together and I knew I would need the help. Then we found a designer and manufacturer. We've been at it almost seven years.
What's next?
We just introduced two new products— Penalty Pal for time outs and Emergency Phone List, a removable wall decal to put important numbers.
Special Offer: 10% off Parking Pal with code mommyshorts.

—————————————–
Momvention #9: Wrapeaze
Mom: Betsy Dolan
What is it?
Wrapeaze is a warm blanket your baby can wear both in and out of the carseat instead of a jacket.
What gave you the idea?
Since the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends children not be placed in car seats with jackets and/ or heavy bunting, I always found myself struggling to get my baby's jacket on in the cold, after he was removed from his seat. One day, I gave up and just threw a blanket over the baby's head and wrapped him up! This was my AHA moment! Why wasn't there a blanket kids could wear?
How did you turn it into a business?
Wrapeaze started because friends and family were asking where they could purchase my wearable blankets for themselves. I began employing local tailors and then finally moved to a local factory in Fall River MA. We have now developed sizes for toddlers, tweens and adults. Everyone loves the ease of use for travel, the car or just running errands.
Special Offer: Get 10% off Wrapeaze by emailing betsy@wrapeaze.com with MommyShorts as the subject.

Momvention #10: Lovey's Tushi Wash, Stick and ChafeStop ($48)
Mom: Marcie Weinstein Smith
What is it?
Lovey's are all-natural baby products including a spray to be used instead of commercial wipes and an all-natural diaper cream stick that prevents parents from getting messy hands.
What gave you the idea?
My son got rashes from every commercial and so-called natural product on the market when he wore diapers. I created a TRULY natural spray to clean my poor boy's rashy bottom (with a reusable or biodegradable wipe) and it worked!
How did you turn it into a business?
I began talking to retailers and then launched at a tradeshow. Then I came up with other all-natural unique products such as Lovey's Tushi Stick, an all-natural convenient diaper ointment in a stick to prevent parents from getting messy hands. Lab tested, we inundated it with 5 strains of bacteria. It has enough "natural preservative" to kill the nasty bacteria on the stick and on the baby's skin. Bingo! A very popular product was born. ChafeStop was developed next after I learned runners were using the Tushi Stick to prevent chafing during marathons. Now, in addition to new moms, we market to athletes, seniors, disabled, plus-sized individuals, prosthetic wearers, and pregnant women.
What's next?
Cheek balm. Those delicate cheeks can get dry and chapped from the dry, cold winter weather.
Special Offer: 10% off Lovey's by using code MOMMY10.

UPDATED with Giveaway Winners (selected at random with their momvention idea)
Baby Bindle Seat Pak: Sara
"My momvention would be a 1st bib. Instead of having a different bib for baby's first valentine's day, baby's first thanksgiving, etc. It would be one bib that has Baby's 1st and then Velcro pieces that you could change out what the holiday is. One bib for the whole year for each holiday instead of a dozen or so."
The Milk It Kit: Janine
"I always wanted to make a long-sleeve bib (with an optional hood) for particularly messy meals like spaghetti and sauce!"
PooPoose: Carly
"A bib for breastfed babies spit up. One that is super absorbent so I don't have tip change his clothes every time he spits up or pukes. With a nice absorbent collar."
Baby Jack Blanket: Betsy
"An extra arm so you could hold the baby (or whiny one year old) while cooking."
Push Pack – Prepacked Hospital Bag: Sara
"I would invent some safe way to hypnotize my daughter so she would actually sleep on a road trip and not stay awake for every single second!"
Tivoli Couture Stroller Liner: Shana
"My momvention would be a changing table that also would have a barista function, fully functioning, coffee at any time, safely of course."
Benbini Watch: Ashley
"My momvention would be something to block my daughters hands from going straight to her privates (she's curious now) when I do a diaper change. Too many times I open the diaper to a poopy diaper and her hands get into the mess. Bleh!!"
Parking Pal: Kara
"I would invent a nursing cover with a small pillow attached. I'm a boppy user and while they have a travel one, I just need a small pillow, something that fits in a diaper bag."
Wrapeaze: Nici

Lovey’s Products: Alexis
"My momvention would be a crib where you can automatically adjust the height of the legs to make getting the baby in and out of the crib easier. You could also change the height of just one end of the crib to tilt the mattress for babies with acid reflux. We had to stack boards under one end of my son's crib to elevate his head and I wasn't entirely sure that the crib was stable."

One bib for the whole year for each holiday instead of a dozen or so.
My momvention would be some kind of stroller or wagon that can climb stairs too. My biggest issue is trying to carry a two year old (who can climb the stairs by herself, she just doesn’t like to) and groceries or shopping bags. Either that or a hover cup for my coffee. That way I’d spill it less.
Liked ’em all on Facebook 😀
And pinned: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/190347521724632330/
My momvention would be a super absorbant (think “sham-wow” absorbant) onesie, for the baby to wear overnight, to avoid having to change and wash crib sheets & bedding after every leaking nighttime diaper. Ugh….
I would invent easy mac the didn’t have to get so freaking hot to cook- waiting for it to cool is brutal!!
I would invent baby nail clippers that never cut too much off, and that the baby wouldn’t even notice. I’m not sure such a thing is possible, but I sure wish it was!
My momvention (that I almost looked into actually creating) was a mobile for the car roof. My son’s mobile at home would keep him calm, so I thought why not put one in the car? Then I started thinking if it isn’t hung properly, it could be a safety hazard. I wasn’t getting enough sleep to learn how to properly hang them in the car without it causing a possible threat to the baby, so the baby car mobile has yet to be invented.
Hmmm. something that could keep my kids close to me, but safe from the stove when I am cooking. Not sure what it would be.
My momvention would be a baby food of the month club that delivers the appropriate level of baby food for your child to feed him/her for the entire month. I feel like I’m constantly having to go to different stores to find the variety and type of baby food I want for my child, and would love if someone could just do it for me & deliver to my doorstep each month.
Followed two or more pages!
I wish there was a way to monitor how much my baby is eating when nursing. She over eats and vomits- but I don’t want to “take her off the boob” and leave her hungry either. I have no idea how this could work though!
Pinned! http://www.pinterest.com/pin/180566266283968556/
A helmet specifically for new walkers…so many bumps to the head.
A toy vacuum, a real vacuum that specifically vacuums up toys for easier dumping into the toybox
My momvention would have to have something to do with saving my back…. I alreaedy had back problems before getting pregnant and by the time my baby was 6 months old I was in the hospital from all the lifting and twisting getting her carrier in and out of the car, loading and unloading the stroller, etc. This got easier as she got older but that “baby” period was killer. So some kind of system where I could “latch” the baby carrier into an extending arm that would retract it back into place in the cars seat, I guess.
I also pinned the image.
I would make a bottle holder. You know, kinda like a phone-on-the-shoulder holder? Only this would have a groove for your chin in which the bottle can rest. Sometimes you really need that extra hand. For sipping coffee….
My momvention would be a 1st months med bag for babes with instructions on how to clean the nethers and treat circs. I was so confused due to boy bits!

Better nursing bras with REAL support. Why hasn’t anyone marketed them — and I mean without having to get your regular ones altered?
I want to invent a baby carrier that has a handle that turns to make it easier to carry.
My momvention would be a sign for the side and back doors of my car asking people not to park too close because I need to be able to get the doors open all the way to get my baby in her car seat. I live in Europe. Parking spaces here are tiny & I end up having to get in on the opposite side to get baby in her seat at least once a week. I purposely park way in the back of parking lots away from other cars & it still happens. If I pull through a parking spot, it never fails that whoever parks behind me gets so close that I can’t get the back hatch open to put the stroller back in my car. It drives me crazy!
I also wanted to invent (and then found there was an item like it) some sort of magnet to hold the car seat straps out of the way when I’m putting my kid into it.
Pinned.
Pinned the image
My invention would be an instant-sleep-nurse, just add water!
I’d invent some kind of contraption that you could put near infant carrier, rock and play, etc. that would rock the seats for you. My baby loves motion…not so easy to keep moving the seat constantly when I’m trying to eat or work. It is definitely a #firstworldproblem but it would be awesome! 🙂
I’d love a carseat that puts my kid to sleep at the push of a button so I don’t have to pin down all of her limbs and have her scream in my ears as I’m trying to buckle her in EVERY TIME! I could also use that for after meal hands and face wiping. TORTURE for both of us!
Liked two pages on facebook
A pumping bra that isn’t an extra accessory (or do these exist?) That would be my momvention, though.
I pinned your giveaway already.
I would invent a way to attach a stroller to a standard shopping cart. That way keeping my kid in his car seat wouldn’t take up the entire shopping cart
Followed two of the fb pages 🙂
My momvention would have to be baby socks that have some type of safe silicone or something along the rim to keep them pulled up and on her feet. My daughter is forever walking around 1-socked or NO-socked…and it’s freezing here!
Liked/following several products and repinned on pinterest! http://www.pinterest.com/erynkell/mommy-stuff/
Following Baby Bindle and Benbini!
Or if you walk to the grocery store – it can be awkward throwing unpaid items in the basket below the stroller!
A car seat that straps your child in for you. No more manipulating wiggly limbs and worrying about proper adjustment!
An infant car seat that isn’t super heavy and bulky! Although I am sure they already make those…
Also, I had no idea you weren’t supposed to strap your kids in car seats with a winter coat on. I do that all the time, and don’t think I couldn’t do it in Syracuse winters…
How about a car seat that gradually folds itself down flat so you can gently transfer a sleeping baby from seat to crib?
My Momvention would be a “Congrats You’re Pregnant” starter kit. It would give you a quick symptom list with remedies for each trimester, with quick and funny stories from other moms. Some key things would be a bank zipper clip for the early stages of pants not fitting, as well as a registry checklist and a list of all the best Mom-Blogs out there since new moms have no clue where to go for this stuff!
This giveaway is amazing. I really want that stroller liner!
I’d love to start a netflix style business for baby stuff. The pieces you need, but only for a few months, like bouncy seats, bumbo, etc. People could also rent different items to see which option the like- like carriers, high chairs and things.
I have also liked three of the products on Facebook: NuComfort, PushPack, and the Hands Free Diaper bag. Plus, I repined your graphic on Pinterest. EEE, Ilana, these giveaways are really good 🙂
Wow, all these inventions are amazing!!! I love the SeatPak, Push Pack, car sticker, and blanket/jacket! I’d love to win. I’m a Mommy Shorts Facebook fan and my momvention would be a stroller powered coffee cup warmer/cooler.
I liked the following Facebook pages: SeatPak, Push Pack, car sticker, and blanket/jacket.
I follow your Pinterest page and pinned the image here http://www.pinterest.com/pin/92534967317744408/.
I would invent a diaper trash chute so the dirty diapers magically go straight from the nursery to the trashcan outside. No more smells!
I’d have to invent a highchair that is ACTUALLY storeable. All the ones that say they are still take up a ton of room.
My momvention would be some kind of service for wrapping presents. I am currently having a hard time trying to figure out how to wrap and hide Christmas gifts with a 4.5 year old, 2.5 year old and a newborn in the house. It is a wonder that I even got the shopping done! I would like to create some kind of service where I would drop the gifts off, they would wrap, hold and deliver the items when I needed them. That way I wouldn’t have gifts in the closets, where the kids could find them and I wouldn’t have to spend all the time on wrapping (and not sleeping!).
I followed two or more! I would LOVE a Benbini watch!!!
I would create the Bathtime buddy, a waterproof apron with pockets down below forbaby bath essentials and a towel that velcros to the front. wash the baby, pick em up, snuggle them close and voila! They are wrapped in a towel and you are not suddenly in a wet t shirt contest.
First I was going to say a motorized stroller. But then I decided I better check with google just to make sure nobody else had thought of such a thing…and sure enough, it’s already in existence. So I thought a little harder and came up with….you know how children need lots and lots of reminders? Like the same reminders 200x a day? Well my robot would let you custom record instructions/corrections, then it would follow the child around all day, assessing the child’s behavior and giving out reminders/correction as needed 🙂
I’d invent a crib with hydraulic height adjustments!
My momvention would be a super soft, super absorbent, not ridiculously bulky post natal pad. After being stitched from here to there and severe bruising I could not find a single pad that didn’t push to hard or rub me raw, etc… sorry for the TMI
Following Baby Jack Blankets and the maker of SeatPacs. Love those products!
Liked two pages on FB. Not a mom yet but as a pregnant lady I’ve been wishing for a quick and easy place to shop online for used maternity clothes. To be fair, I haven’t done a lot of looking so there may be such a place that I just haven’t stumbled across yet.
Lap books..cloth activity books that you can wrap around babys legs so they dont dropthem on planes, church etc.
Liked two pages.
Some sort of bathtub cleaner that the kids think is a toy?
An easier way to give a baby a bath without breaking your back or worrying about dropping them!
This would be awesome. We always end up adding ice chips to it to cool it down quicker, but then it makes it a little bit runny.
I would create a stroller thats legs/wheels would sprout out of a carseat with the push of a button!
My invention would be a carseat that has little collapsable wheels (like a stretcher) and a pull out handle. As my son gets bigger it’s really hard to carry him in his carseat carrier out the front door and out to the parking lot. He’s only four months old and I’m already carrying 35+ lbs. out the door everyday.
My momvention would be something safe you could add to breast milk that has excess lipase. As someone who had excess lipase, I had to scald and freeze my breast milk within about 30 hours, otherwise it was garbage. It took hours of my life that I would never get back. If there was something that could be added to breast milk, without altering the flavor or nutrients, it would seriously be a god-send to other mothers dealing with the same issue.
I followed tivoli couture, benbini (AMAZING CONCEPT!), baby jack blankets and loveys!!! Thanks for letting us know about these awesome products. Even if I don’t win Im definitely going to purchase some for my 10 week old!
Oops, I need to clarify. Something you can add to breast milk that has excess lipase in order to stop/reduce the lipase.
Lol! We had similar ideas! 🙂
I liked the Baby Jack Blanket and Milk It Kit pages. Those are awesome ideas!
Also repinned the pin to my “baby boy” board on pinterest! (Genevieve Wilkinson as profile)
haha WHY HAVE THEY NOT INVENTED IT YET?!!!!!!
I would make some type of adjustable sunshade that attaches to the car seat – I have every type in every brand and can’t find one that fits correctly or stays on the window to block the sun in the car!!
Followed all 10 AND repinned to my Pinterest board “Oh baby”
I don’t have a middle head rest in the back seat of my car, but the baby’s seat has to go there because the older boys’ boosters won’t fit in the middle. My momvention would be an infant mirror that would attach to the middle seat AND be high enough that I could see the baby’s reflection without being a hazard.
My mommy-vention would be a canopy that goes between the car door and the car seat so that when the baby inevitably throws the binki/lovey/object-they-must-have-back-immediately over the side where the driver cant reach it, its lands in the canopy where it doesnt get dirty and we could potentially reach said item to throw it back at said baby.

Following Wrapeaze and Parking Pal
I’ve already commented on FB but not sure if I need to comment on the blog too or not…here is the fb comment I posted:
pants with a hidden stretchy panel for men (maternity pants are so comfortable, why should they be limited to just pregnant women?) we would call them “man-ternity” pants. haha. Or, gender specific diapers – so boys would get more absorbancy in the front.
Liked two pages…baby Jack blankets and Benbini watches.
A bath toy to pump a continuous stream of water to play in. My son turns the water on to play and it’s either too hot or too cold.
Pinned
A bib for breastfed babies spit up. One that is super absorbent so I don’t have tip change his clothes every time he spits up or pukes. With a nice absorbent collar. I know there are some out there but they say exclusively for “milk” and they only have an absorbent collar.
My momvention was going to be the same thing as the wrapeaze for adults, but I was going to call it the “CarGo. Someone got to it before me!!!
This exists. Its like a vibrating motor that attaches to the stroller. Don’t remember the name and i live in germany, but google might help you.
I love this idea– this one is totally doable
Something to keep the paci in without causing a choking/breathing/reporting me to authorities hazards.
Seriously, the tushi stick is going in my son’s stocking!!! And the netflix style rental of age appropriate baby stuff idea up above is the bomb.com!
A different type of cart at the store that has room for the carrier, your toddler, diaper bag, and groceries lol oh and I liked several pages above 😉
My daughter had a thick knit beanie 😉
I would totally have subscribed to this if it existed! Any chance you’re actually thinking of doing this?
I think this is a great idea, too! Some of the products are so expensive, it’s so hard to pull the trigger on something expensive that you and/or your baby might not like.
I really want a zip up play mat/ bag. You would lay it on the ground, the baby can play on a clean surface with toys, and hten you can zip it up and throw it over your shoulder when you change locations with all of the toys still inside.
I also pinned the graphic.
And I liked two of the pages on FB. 🙂
I follow Parking Pal, Wrapeaze & Lovey’s on facebook.
try socks by Robeez!! they have a reinforced ankle and dont fall off!
Mine would be some sort of pacifier hook that hangs in the crib for parents and babies who lose their nuks at night! For little ones that cannot reach their own it’s used for parents to always know where to find one without running through the house at 2am! And for older babies to know where at is and always have a backup if they misplace the one in their mouth:)
You have a toy vaccum. It’s called your kid. Make them pick up after themselves.
I’m not as creative as some moms but my momvention currently would be something to block my daughters hands from going straight to her privates (she’s curious now) when I do a diaper change. Too many times I open the diaper to a poopy diaper and her hands get into the mess. Bleh!!
I also liked milk it kit and Lovey’s.
