Snuggle With Your Baby

If you have had a baby, chances are you have used Ann Moore's invention. She invented the snugli! She was a Peace Corps volunteer and while in French West Africa, she noticed mothers carrying their babies securely on their backs. She admired the bond this created between mother and child. When she returned to the USA and had her own child, she decided to design a carrier similar to what she had seen in Africa. With her mother's help, she worked on creating one that fit on her back but could not keep her baby from slipping. Finally, the created a carrier that has become commonplace all over the world - the snugli. She patented it in 1969. Mothers and fathers everywhere are grateful to Ann Moore for her wonderful invention. Being able to go about your housework while snuggling with your baby . . . it's a good thing!
