Press Release
May 1, 2010, Claremore, OK:
Dittany Baby was born of necessity. The necessity to protect Dittany Baby founder Shannon's son's poor knees as he dragged them across the carpet, and the necessity to find a better way to get around with a baby in tow which didn't involve pushing a bulky stroller. Over the years Dittany baby has evolved to carry a full line of Skidpants for baby's knees, Mei Tais and Pouch Slings, both on land and in the water, as well as a line of stylish Nursing Covers and designer tights.
For Dittany Baby's new owner Lisa, Dittany Baby combines her love of her children, her passion for cloth diapering and breastfeeding, and her enthusiasm for baby wearing with her design and sewing skills. Lisa has been sewing ever since her mother taught her the basics when she was only six. That time with her mother taught her more than just how to thread a needle. It taught her how vital time spent with your children is. Now working with her two sweet children by her side, every day, Lisa extends the same care and attention to every facet of the Dittany Baby line.
Dedication to providing Dittany Baby customers with the most stylish and functional accessories meets with Lisa's passion for breastfeeding by offering a line of beautiful nursing covers for moms who prefer to nurse with a cover or have easily distractable babies who benefit from the privacy. As a breastfeeding mother, Lisa believes strongly in the benefits of breastfeeding and wants to help even the most shy of mothers realize their breastfeeding goals by helping them feel more confident about being able to nurse anytime and anywhere, and look great doing it. As an avid baby wearing mom of two, Lisa brings her practical experience as well as her designer's eye to designing a line of lightweight and comfortable Mei Tais, Pouch Slings, and H2O slings. Lisa loves that baby wearing gives her the opportunity to hold her children and cuddle them closely, while still having her hands free to get things done. She also loves that baby wearing means a smoother day with calmer kids.
In addition to feeling passionately about breastfeeding and baby wearing, Lisa feels it is important to provide affordable luxury with a conscience. She believes strongly in supporting US businesses, family businesses, and in keeping Dittany Baby products proudly made in the USA. Lisa believes that keeping production in the USA is absolutely vital to maintaining a quality brand. Lisa also believes in doing her part to secure a healthy planet for her children, and is dedicated to continuing to offer organic options for the environmentally conscious baby wearer.
Outside of working to bring the best and most stylish solutions for moms on the go, Lisa enjoys spending time with her children Edrick and Donovan, sewing, and playing video games with her husband in their Oklahoma home.
