ELM Baby Brings Together Safe And Natural Products For Baby

As an expectant mom, it can be an overwhelming task trying to get everything ready in time for the arrival of a new baby. Owner and founder of ELM Baby, Bella Miranda, learned this firsthand while trying to get all of her shopping done in anticipation for her first child, finding it to be more of a struggle as she got further along in her pregnancy.

“I didn’t want to go to five different stores for two products I needed,” said the 28-year-old entrepreneur. With that, Miranda was inspired to create ELM Baby, an all-in-one online shop with the full array of necessities from maternity to motherhood, plus some items for dad, too!

The most important thing for Miranda when picking out products for ELM Baby is safety. She brings together items from all over the world, most of which are natural, organic, and holistic. The site offers everything from non-toxic mineral makeup for mom to a line of witty candles for dad, including the “Mr. Sensitive (I am Sorry)” candle that offers a way to say you’re sorry without words!

One standout product that is exclusive to ELM Baby is the colorful, Italian-designed Co-Sleeper. It offers a convenient way for parents to keep their baby nearby yet out of harm’s way at night. Available in eight bold shades, it attaches securely to the side of any bed and can be transformed into a bassinet for daytime use.

Miranda conceived of the idea to offer a top-quality co-sleeper when she had a scare with her own son (whose initials she used to name the online shop). Utterly exhausted from the demands that come with being a new parent, Miranda dozed off in her bed one night while holding her son without even realizing it. Though she awoke just in time, she realized that parents needed a product that would help prevent a terrifying moment like that.

ELM Baby provides new and expectant parents with a way to find all of their baby needs in one place as well as the reassurance that all products were handpicked by Miranda with baby’s safety as the top priority.
