My little snug bug, born Nov 2024,
the one who made me a mom
Window of Motherhood
Before giving birth to my son, I told myself to just go with the “milk” flow: no pressure around breastfeeding. I thought milk supply was something beyond my control. Little did I know, milk supply is demand-driven: the more your baby latches or you pump, the more your body produces.
After my son was born, nothing about breastfeeding felt natural to me. He couldn’t latch for the first month and a half. I tried to follow what I had learned in the hospital: reading hunger cues, massaging and holding my breast, adjusting his position, and trying again. Both my newborn and I were learning and struggling at the exact same time.
Should I keep trying? Standing at the crossroads, I found myself overwhelmed thinking about the endless chores: the extra work of formula prep, bottle feeding, and constant cleaning. For me, the motivation behind breastfeeding was not only about my baby's health; it felt like a more convenient choice to soothe my baby and avoid those extra chores. Although I didn't have enough milk initially, I chose to trust the process and set a goal to nurse exclusively.
During those first few months of breastfeeding, the most vulnerable stage for my breasts, I never expected milk leakage to be such a constant worry. I wore a bra 24/7 just to hold nursing pads and avoid waking at 3 a.m. in cold, soaked clothes on a wet mattress. My everyday clothes were no help either. I needed one hand to hold my breast, another to position my baby, and somehow a third to wrestle with my top. Half of my body was always exposed. In our tradition, staying warm during postpartum is no joke.
When I looked in the mirror at 3 a.m. with tired, red eyes, "ugly" wasn't what came to mind. Instead, I just felt ridiculous. It was hard deciding whether to delete those precious pictures with my newborn at home just because I hated how messy I looked. Postpartum moms deserve better homewear.
After months of trying different nursing wear, I finally ordered a top online that was considered expensive. To my disappointment, it started pilling almost immediately, discolored after a few washes, and the fabric even shed right against my son’s face.
That was the moment I decided to make my own.
The Window of Motherhood grew from one simple idea: nursing clothes that hold everything in place without a bra, so you can feed your baby, keep him close, and move through your day without constantly adjusting. The chest panel design works like a curtain: once opened, it creates a portal into this wonderful, sometimes bittersweet experience of breastfeeding - the very beginning of our motherhood journey.
The matching family outfits came from the same feeling. Motherhood isn’t just about the mother, it’s a whole family experience. I’ve never been a fan of dress codes or cosplay, but I discovered that wearing matching outfits with my son brought a joy I hadn’t expected. I wanted something that could bring everyone into that feeling: mom, dad, toddler, even the family pet.
Featuring a loose fit and smocked detailing, our collection adapts to life's transitions and different body types, including non-mamas! My hope is that each snuggly piece becomes your go-to homewear, decent enough to greet the delivery person or step outside to meet the neighbors, and the kind of piece you’ll wear again and again.
Little Snug Bug is still very new. Samples are being made. But the problem is real, and a solution is on its way.
