Mary is the mother of a six week old baby, Katy.
She works part time in the evenings. Her husband Bob will take care of Katy while she's at work. After the first night, Bob is frazzled. The baby never stops crying, doesn't fall asleep until minutes before Mary's return. The next day, Mary purchases a Build-A-Bond. She wears it for several hours that day and leaves it with Bob for her next night's work. This night goes very smooth for both Bob and the baby. She was quiet and content, Bob was relaxed, and Mary felt much better about leaving home to work at night.

A soon-to-be adoptive mother purchased two build-a-bonds for her new
adoptive baby.
The baby was to be in foster care for another three weeks before coming home. The adoptive mother first wore the blankets, and then gave them to the foster mother to use. This allowed the baby to get used to the adoptive mother's scent before the baby's arrival in her new home. This adoptive mother wanted me to contact adoptive agencies so new adoptive parents are aware of this new, helpful product.

A man called me and ordered two build-a-bonds because he travels all the time and he and his wife are expecting a new baby.
He wanted to wear the build-a-bonds during the week to be left with the baby when he traveled. This way the baby would get used to his scent, and when he returned from his travels, the transition for bonding would be much easier.
