What inspired your Huggies® MomInspired™ award-winning design?

Well, I've always had a forward-thinking, creative mind. Growing up, if I needed something that didn't exist I usually created it myself. One day as I was feeding my second child, I was having difficulty dealing with a leaky bottle and very messy baby when I noticed my velour scrunchie on the table next to me. I had an "a-ha" moment and placed the scrunchie around the bottle cap. It worked well but it needed improving, so I took a kitchen microfiber towel and designed a new bib, complete with 3 mini-bibs for greater absorption.

Has your design been successful and what are your plans for the future?

Since there has never been anything like it, the baby bottle bib has been very successful — already being sold in 4 countries around the world, and inspiring competitors. Looking to the future, we hope to expand Ritzy Bitzy Designs by developing stronger partnerships and moving into the breast-feeding market with a new, one-of-a-kind product.
