Mother of Invention...
 After seeing the need for a product that allows mothers to discreetly and comfortably nurse in public, Missy Reder created the Slurp & Burp®, an innovative nursing accessory that covers the breast without covering the baby. As a mother of four children the age of five and under, as well as a speech-language pathologist and yoga instructor in Brooklyn, Missy wanted to find a way to easily incorporate nursing into her busy lifestyle. Moms on the go like Missy can wear their Slurp & Burp® during everyday activities such as dining out, riding the subway, and getting pedicures. Using a Slurp & Burp® is less conspicuous than using a blanket/shawl because it just looks like you're cradling your baby. “I have always felt proud to be able to nurse my baby,” said Missy, the wife of a NY firefighter. "I want to be able to make eye contact and communicate with my baby while I'm nursing her. I never wanted to hide my baby under a blanket or hide altogether in a designated area, or worse yet-- a bathroom."
Missy is excited to have her product launching in the same year as the 50th anniversary of the La Leche League, an internationally renowned organization dedicated to supporting breastfeeding mothers. She believes her unique product will contribute to the growing number of moms choosing to breastfeed their babies once they see other moms confidently nursing in public with their Slurp & Burp®.
What exactly is a Slurp & Burp®? It is a loop of layered cotton material that is worn like a sash over one shoulder of the mother and under her opposite arm- please refer to wearing instructions. The patented design allows the mother to be covered and the baby to be uncovered. To date, there are two versions of the Slurp & Burp®. One has a burp cloth sewn into the product so baby can be burped as needed while nursing. The second does not have a burp cloth and is used for older babies who no longer need to be burped. A third version with a detachable burp cloth is in the works. A few special features of the Slurp & Burp®:
- All-in-one product for nursing and burping
- Securely loops around mom for complete coverage, no risk of falling off
- No more hassling with tucking blanket into bra straps or clipping
- Promotes mother/baby bond
- Comfortable for mom and baby—no more fussing with hot, sweaty blankets
- Machine washable/made of lightweight cotton
- Cost effective—price is comparable to the cost of just one nursing top
- Mom can keep her own style—no need to wear unflattering nursing tops
- belly stays covered without the bulk of layering shirts or belly bands
 - Made with love in the USA
- Compact, easily fits in purse or diaper bag
- Nursing can be done anywhere
- Able to breastfeed while wearing a dress

The Slurp & Burp is a nursing accessory that keeps mom covered but not her baby. It has become very popular because mom is able to maintain eye contact with baby while nursing. It also allows her to comfortably breastfeed in public without sacrificing her modesty or style. Long gone are the days of isolating herself in another room or her baby under a blanket. While nursing with a Slurp & Burp, it looks like mom is cradling her baby so there are no more unwanted stares. Whether in the community or at a family function, loved ones are able to interact and communicate with the baby while being fed. After all, dining is social.

"I love the detachable burpcloth. It sits perfectly in the loop on my shoulder but since I can remove it, I can also use it for drooling. She doesn't really spit up much but she does drool. So I can take if off and put it on as needed. I LOVE IT!" ~Ivy
