I was having lunch with a girlfriend recently, and I realized that while we’re both mothers, we have many differences. She works inside the home, and I work outside. She is a social butterfly and is involved in many mommy’s groups, whereas I’m thrilled when I manage to make it to book club once every 6 weeks. She is able to make delicious homemade cakes in the shape of a bear with edible trees which spell her daughter’s name, whereas I’m over the moon when my out-of-the-box cake comes off without a hitch. Despite our differences, we have much in common. We have similar philosophies, interests, and of course, we both love our children immensely. That last fact gives us an almost inexplicable bond.
I’m surprised by how often mothers get painted with the same brush. The notion that all mothers want and need the same thing is as incorrect as saying that all men love football (granted, a lot of them do, but still…). The same applies to breastfeeding. Some mothers wish to breastfeed and are simply unable. Other mothers decide early in their pregnancy that they prefer to feed their baby formula. The reality is that it is a personal choice. My preference was to feed my children breast milk because it was important to me and I was able to, but that doesn’t mean that it is the right decision for all women.
The Devyn Bag was created with nursing mothers in mind, but the bag’s versatility and ability to aid mothers through all the stages of their lives was also of significant importance. Our aim was to create a bag that could truly work for all mothers – breastfeeding and formula-feeding moms, professional and stay-at-home working moms, and mothers with infants, toddlers or older children. It is for this reason that the insulated and waterproof compartment can easily house formula and breast milk bottles/bags, snacks or sandwiches for the family. We also include a dry ice pack which, when hydrated, can be frozen or heated depending on your needs.
We believe that it is important to celebrate and honor the differences between women while delivering a product that works for all.
