Have you ever seen a new product and said, “Boy, I should have thought of that!” Today meet four South Florida moms who had a good idea…and acted on it.

Feeding her 4-month-old son Dillon, helped inspire Lisa Alfieri to create one of the new must-have baby products.

Lisa Alfieri-mom inventor says, “I always found that my forearm would go numb and it was uncomfortable supporting the baby’s head–because as he got bigger he got heavier. So, I was always padding my arm.”

Lisa Alfieri says, “I cut receiving blanket material and then went to the fabric store and got lycra for the bottom part. Then I went to a seamstress and had her make me one.”

Two years later— the “Beelu Feeding Pillow” was born.

Women at a different stage in life— inspired Carol Papkin and Cathy Schwartz.

Carol Papkin-mom inventor says, “I thought menopause–that’s the first thing I thought because I sweat at night.”

They are the inventors of “Cooljamaz” and say a good night’s sleep is no sweat.

Carol says, “People are tearing off their blankets and pajamas and taking showers in the middle of the night. If you lay there–the sweat evenly distributes and then within minutes evaporates off. It drys 4 times faster than cotton.”

Carol and Cathy say the moisture wicking properties will never wash out of their pj’s–and are the softest on the market.
