200 Word Summary
When people find out that my mother was the inventor of the WubbaNub, they always ask her about the story of the night she invented it. When people ask me about one of my earliest WubbaNub memories, the first that comes to mind is an 18-wheeler backing down our driveway. People acknowledge my mother for her success, but the stories that aren’t heard are the ones about the long nights she stayed up to finish her work and then be up in a few hours to take care of me and my sister. My mother always found strength in her family though. But other families have found strength in her product. Thousands of emails and letters have been written in from families whose babies loved the WubbaNub as they held it in the NICU. And with the recent campaign to help raise CHD awareness, more families have written in about how the WubbaNub helped their child find strength and comfort. Through all of the fame and success WubbaNub has received through shows and celebrities, the heart of the company still lies in the donations to hospitals and families in need. And to give families the gift of baby’s first friend.

When my mom first invented the WubbaNub for me, she had no idea that she had become an entrepreneur overnight. It was when she took me to my doctor appointments though that nurses would ask her for the product so they could give it to the NICU babies. When my mother ordered her first manufacturing shipment of WubbaNubs, she decided to distribute it exclusively to hospitals. The product then gained a trust with moms and nurses which helped to build the brand into what it is today. Now there are over 25 styles and thousands of stores carrying the WubbaNub.
