Inden jeg blev mor, arbejdede jeg som freelance makeupartist. Jeg var 30 år, nyforelsket, fyldt med drømme – og elskede at rejse, surfe og leve livet på farten. Dengang havde jeg en lille virksomhed, der hed She’s A Dreamer, hvor jeg håndsyede farverige clutches, der gjorde det lidt sjovere og finere at pakke rejsetasken. Jeg har altid været optaget af at pakke smart og praktisk – og hurtigt kunne finde det, jeg skulle bruge. Det var ret vigtigt i mit job som hår- og makeupartist. She’s A Dreamer var mit første projekt – farverige clutches, som blev skabt lige før Baby Dreamer. Men det kom aldrig helt ud over stepperne. Jeg havde fået en veninde med som partner, og vores forskellige tilgang til risiko holdt os lidt tilbage. Til sidst gik vi hver til sit – og det blev startskuddet på Baby Dreamer. Nu kunne jeg satse mere – og det gav pote, trods jeg havde lært en masse fra vores rejse i She's A Dreamer, som jeg ikke ville have været foruden.   Mine veninder begyndte at få børn. Jeg så dem kæmpe sig ud ad døren – baby på armen, flere tasker over skulderen og alt for meget bøvl. Det var dér, idéen til Baby Dreamer opstod. Jeg ville designe en pusletaske, der faktisk gjorde det lettere at komme afsted. En taske, der kunne hænge på barnevognen, bruges som rygsæk, åbnes som en puslestation – uden dikkedarer. Og så måtte den ikke ligne en klassisk "kone-taske". Den skulle være let, smuk, minimalistisk og funktionel. En forældre-værktøjskasse forklædt som rygsæk. Klip, klister og en kommentar, der ændrede alt Idéen begyndte bogstaveligt talt med papir og saks. På TV 2, hvor jeg arbejdede som makeupartist, havde jeg ofte et par timer mellem opgaverne. Så jeg sad og klippede små papirmodeller og forsøgte at finde frem til det perfekte design. Jeg husker tydeligt, da en af TV 2’s businessværter kiggede på min model og sagde: “Det der, det er en god idé.” At det kom fra en mand, bekræftede mig i, at jeg var på rette spor. Jeg ville jo netop skabe noget, der også talte til fædre – og gjorde det lettere for alle forældre at tage ud i verden med deres baby. Nogle af de spæde skitser Der testes med de midler jeg nu har ved hånden :D Baby Dreamer – en virksomhed bygget på drømme Navnet Baby Dreamer kom, fordi jeg ønskede at støtte de små drømmere. Ikke kun børnene, men også os forældre – for vi bærer jo stadig på vores egne drømme. Jeg tror på, at børn lærer at drømme, når de ser os gøre det. Og tasken blev mit bud på at gøre det lidt lettere at tage drømmene med ud i verden – sammen med sin lille ny familie. Jeg nåede endda at få tasken designet og sat i produktion, før jeg selv blev mor. Jeg kunne se på mine veninder, hvor svært det var at komme ud – og jeg vidste, at jeg måtte finde på noget, inden det også ramte mig. For jeg elsker at være på farten, og jeg ville ikke give slip på den del af mit liv, bare fordi jeg fik børn. De første 500 pusletasker – og 0 erfaring Vendepunktet kom, da jeg trykkede “bestil” på de første 500 tasker i 2017. Det var alt, jeg havde – og jeg var klar til at lade det briste eller bære. Jeg havde smidt cirka 50.000 kr i produktionen – penge, jeg var indstillet på at kunne miste, hvis det hele gik galt. (Det var heldigvis billigere at producere dengang, end det er i dag!) Alt var langt fra perfekt. Kvaliteten og detaljerne er noget helt andet i dag, end de var dengang. Men hvis man kan stå igennem det første usikre skridt og tilpasse sig undervejs, så har man grundlaget for at bygge en idé op til en langtidsholdbar virksomhed. 2017: Den første produktion er landet og de første bestillinger bliver sendt afsted Jeg ser mange, der aldrig kommer i gang, fordi de hænger sig for meget i detaljerne. De vil have alt til at være perfekt fra start. Men sandheden er: Du lærer mest ved at gøre. Kom ud og test idéen. Justér undervejs. Det er okay at fejle – det er dér, de vigtigste erfaringer ligger. Heldigvis gik det. En af de store børne-webshops kontaktede mig og ville være forhandler. Det gav mig troen på, at jeg var i gang med noget, der faktisk mødte et behov. Senere – da jeg selv blev mor – forstod jeg for alvor, hvor vigtigt det var, det jeg havde lavet. Tasken virkede. Den var ikke bare pæn, men praktisk. En reel hjælp i hverdagen. En tryghed på farten. En støtte til at komme ud – også når det føltes skrøbeligt og kaotisk. Og da vi senere var tre måneder i Sri Lanka med vores to børn – én på 3 år og én på 10 måneder – der mærkede jeg det hele gå op i en højere enhed. Det var dét, jeg havde drømt om: Et liv med frihed, eventyr og tryghed – og med en taske, der gjorde det hele lidt lettere. Fra min første fotoskydning af tasken, hvor jeg selv tog billederne og venligst lånte Signe, Aksel og Andreas som modeller.

Der findes mange lister derude med tips til, hvordan du forbereder dig bedst til fødslen – men sandheden er, at ingen fødsel kan planlægges på forhånd. Den vil altid overraske, overvælde og måske endda ændre dig. Derfor får du her mine tre vigtigste og mest ærlige råd, som jeg håber kan give dig mere ro og frihed op til fødslen – og ind i moderskabet. 1. ✨ Øv dig i at give slip – allerede før fødslen Det lyder måske banalt, men for mig var det det sværeste. At give slip. Jeg kunne simpelthen ikke overgive mig, og det gjorde det faktisk svært for min krop selv at gå i fødsel. Hvis du også har lidt kontrolgen i dig (hej, det har mange af os!), så begynd at øve dig i at slippe små ting i hverdagen – før du skal slippe noget så stort som fødslen. For eksempel:– Lad være med at følge med i trafikken, når din partner kører 🚗– Slip planlægningen – og lad fælleskalenderen stå åben den næste måned 📅– Prøv en guidet meditation om at give slip – og læg mærke til, hvor i kroppen det spænder op At kunne give slip er ikke et krav – men det er en gave, hvis du kan øve dig i det lidt ad gangen. 2. 🌀 Drop idéen om den “perfekte fødsel” Vi hører ofte, at vi skal “visualisere den fødsel, vi ønsker os”. Og det kan være fint – men pas på, at det ikke bliver en forventning, der spænder ben for dig, hvis virkeligheden bliver en anden. Mange kvinder bliver skuffede, fordi det ikke gik “som planlagt”:De blev sat i gang.Det endte i kejsersnit.De fik epidural.Eller badekarret, de havde drømt om, føltes pludselig som en brændende ovn (true story fra min fødsel 😅). Derfor: Giv dig selv lov til ikke at tage stilling til præcis hvordan det hele skal være. For måske kan du være mere nærværende i den kraft, der naturligt kommer i øjeblikket – og møde fødslen med åbenhed og tillid i stedet for skuffelse over alt det, der ikke blev. 3. 🚫 Smid den 100-punkts to-do-liste langt væk Er det vigtigt at skure badeværelsesfliserne inden vandet går og 100 andre ting, som du sikkert har lavet en liste over?Nej. Nej nej. Og nej igen. Lad være med at tro, at alting skal være perfekt og afsluttet før fødslen.Der kommer også en dag i morgen – selv når du har født. Butikkerne, webshops og pakkeposten stopper ikke. Og den vask du ikke nåede at tage, kan vente. 👉 Den vigtigste forberedelse er ikke at få styr på alt.Det er at finde fred i, at du ikke behøver det hele på plads for at være klar. Til dig der står lige her Jeg håber, at du – uanset hvordan din fødsel bliver – kan mærke, at du ikke skal “præstere” den. Du må gerne slippe lidt mere. Forberede lidt mindre. Og have tillid til, at din krop og intuition allerede ved mere, end du tror. Og skulle du få brug for lidt støtte på rejsen, så ved du, hvor du finder os – hos Baby Dreamer designer vi ting, der gør det hele lidt lettere uden for hjemmet.

Behind the name "Baby Dreamer" lies the dream of inspiring you parents to sow a small dream seed in your children. Small seeds that become adults who dare to pursue their dreams. My mission at Baby Dreamer is to design products for you families that make chasing your family adventure a little easier. Big or small, as long as you are together. Out of the blue in a motorhome "Vanlife" families are a hyped phenomenon these days, but not without reason either. It is probably the idea of ​​the simpler life, the closer togetherness and the disconnected everyday life that attracts. Back in the 90s, I also think it was just such a trip with my family that planted the seed in me to become a real dreamer and enjoy life. Yes, maybe even here the foundation stones of Baby Dreamer were laid. It was a month in a motorhome around the beautiful nature of Canada, together with my parents and older brother. That journey filled a lot, as a great experience in my childhood, even though I was only 3.5 years old. It really awakened a dreamer in me because I was allowed to see what the world could also offer beyond the four walls of the kindergarten. Definitely a great experience for me, but what was it like to be parents on such a trip? Of course I asked my parents… Wasn't it really expensive? No, neither the plane ticket nor the motorhome rental was particularly expensive, so we could actually get it together even if we didn't have a lot of money in our hands, but of course it was something that had to be prioritized. Why did you choose this particular type of trip? It was a super easy way to travel with children, as you always have a toilet nearby, you can grab a meal when hungry and put the children to sleep when they are tired. The entire suitcase is always with you around, so you always have what you need close at hand. So it was actually a holiday for you too? Yes definitely! If you live in a hotel, you are somewhat locked into the hotel room as soon as the children have gone to bed. With a motorhome, you can sit right outside the front and cozy up by the fire and enjoy nature even as parents. As previously mentioned, it's also just great to have everything at hand, so you don't have to rush around looking for food or the toilet. And then it's just great to see your children find joy in nature and play around. The greatest experience as a child on this trip? To see a wild bear! After all, I didn't talk about anything else in the kindergarten when I got home. There were so many animals you had never seen before in Denmark and it is a great experience for small children. Biggest challenge on such a trip? When there was no campsite to spend the night at. It made the kids a little nervous to sleep out in no man's land, so it is recommended. What would be different on such a trip today? It would of course have saved some parental arguments if there had been a GPS, but then you can be proud that you found your way with a measly map full of lines. Today, there are probably many people who would put an iPad on for the kids on the long driving days, but it actually worked really well with cartoons and toys as entertainment, that was enough, so I wonder if that's the case today too? Do you also dream of taking your little family with you in a camper and just going around, but think it's expensive and unmanageable? Then you can read along here and gather inspiration from our maternity leave to Portugal.

What to pack without overpacking? Travel : Duration: 6 days to Portugal in a motorhome, 3h40min flight with hand luggage only Price : flight, 3900 kroner total motorhome, indie campers 4000 kroner Purpose : Surf trip up the coast of Portugal How and what we got packed: Bugaboo pram (we had rented a bugaboo travel bag for DKK 150 for a week, so the pram didn't break on the flight) Baby carrier/swaddle BabyDreamer Changing bag , in which we also packed all his things A backpack each for mum and dad (yes, you make nappy bags, so we packed a bag each as it perfectly holds what we each had to bring with us) Surfboard for mom and dad Package for baby, we used: Sun hat 7 cloth diapers (we use an insane amount, so we also brought a letter of washing powder with us to be able to wash up clothes) Bodysuits, we used 6 bright long-sleeved bodysuits so he didn't get sun Pants, we used 3 pairs of pants again to protect from the sun, light and bright were good Warm sweater Nightgown We put sunscreen and a pack of nappies in the bag with the pram. Denmark is apparently one of the few countries that makes diapers without perfume A big blanket we could all get on with Hammam towel, which we used as a duvet/blanket and towel in one Wet wipes, we used a maximum of one pack (again brought from home, to avoid those with perfume abroad) 3 pcs pacifiers. Throw two away as you can be a bit confused on holiday and easily forget them around. A pacifier cord helps of course. Two pairs of socks Biggest challenge: Our boy doesn't want to ride in a pram at the moment. Everything would have been so much easier if he bothered. It's a bit of an expedition if you're going to the beach with such a small one, with all that equipment. It does, however, make it easier with its prepackaged diaper bag that you just grab with you. Unfortunately, it is not self-refillable, so you just have to remember to fill it with new nappies and clothes ;) The bright sunlight is also exhausting for a small baby, so a UV tent is therefore well spent. We don't think the parasol was enough. Advantages: Portugal is a very child-friendly country. A baby gives a lot of front pockets, both in airport queues but also in the restaurants, they were nice, especially if several people were waiting for a table, you could get to quickly. We also had a fun experience at a nice outdoor wine bar. Here we went a little way to change a nappy, to which the owner was disappointed that we went away to change a nappy, "Isn't it clean enough here" he asked. Are you packing for the holidays soon, but still missing the perfect travel companion? Then you can get your hands on your Baby Dreamer right here

What should you bring in your hospital bag? Yes, that is, the bag you have to pack if you are going to the hospital and give birth. This is Baby Dreamer's guide: How to pack the perfect hospital diaper bag for your birth. Buy Diaper Bag   Okay, let me start by saying, packing the bag you need to bring to the hospital when giving birth is not just any bag to pack. There are oceans of emotion in it, which you might not realize until you get to it. How can I explain it best? It is the start of all the expectations you have built up, which you pack into your bag. It's one of the only things about having a baby that you can actually manage, prepare and control... unless you're really late and you can't get it packed in time ;D Did you know that in 2021, 96.8% of all births in Denmark gave birth in hospital, but that home births are on the rise? Everything from choosing the first micro outfit for baby to the little things that will be beneficial during and after your birth, will really set the thoughts and emotions in motion. I might also think that it's a really healthy process for your head to do, a kind of tuning into what's going to happen, feeling the tension and love spreading in the body. You can compare it to an airplane whose engine is fully revved up and just exactly ready to take off. It is somewhat the same feeling in the body if you have tried to sit in a plane just before it shoots off the runway. Packing list for the hospital 5 need to pack: 1) Baby's first outfit Pants, long-sleeved bodysuit, socks. Remember a warm sweater, hat and outerwear if it's the cold months. 2) Hair elastics The last thing you need to think about during labor is pesky hair that bothers and disturbs you. After the birth, it is also nice not to have hair in the way, because when the baby has to look for its food. 3) Lip balm Your mouth can get really dry during such a birth, so it's really nice to be able to give your lips a break during or after birth. 4) A shirt/zip top and comfortable pants It simply has to be easy to get to the food for you and baby. If you have to pick up the whole event, it can be a hassle. It's just so much easier to just open a few buttons or zip down when baby is hungry. A pair of comfortable trousers almost goes without saying, but maybe you can also have in the back of your mind that you can end up in an emergency caesarean section and which pair of pants would you wish you had with you? 5) Snacks You never know what the hospital has on the menu on the day you give birth, or if the kiosk is closed if you give birth at night. Take your favorite snack with you, so you have something to look forward to and refuel your energy stores. What is your absolute favorite snack?   Buy Diaper Bag     Nice to pack Remember that the hospital has everything to change a nappy, but I write it down anyway, so that you have everything in your bag if the hospital's cases are not within reach and maybe you need it on the way home.   Diaper bag to pack in... of course ;) Baby clothes for the hospital, sizes 50 and 56 Diapers (3 pcs) Wet wipes or alternative Baby clothes for the trip home Baby quilt/blanket Cloth diaper Teddy bear Car seat (It would be ideal to have a car seat with a stroller frame that allows you to simply click the car seat onto the frame. The car seat can be quite heavy to walk with) Maternity health record  Comfortable clothes for mother... possibly also father Slippers, both for mum and dad Panties, nursing bras and stockings Nursing pads Possibly breast ointment Toiletry bag (remember some shampoo, creams or whatever you need for your first bath after birth) Breastfeeding pillow water bottle Music playlist Tips for your partner: - prepare a text message thread in advance for those who should be notified when the baby is born. - car seat installed - manage parking at the hospital - your partner's favorite snack   If the list is too unmanageable for you now, you can start by buying the nappy bag and then fill in the one that makes sense to you. Enjoy your birth and your new life!   Buy Diaper Bag    

Maybe you're sitting there with a pregnant belly and thinking "hmm I wonder how much breastfeeding will actually take up when the baby comes into the world?" ...short answer, A LOT Officially, the Danish position is to exclusively breastfeed the child for the first 4-6 months, after which you supplement with transitional food. READ "the Danish attitude", that means that the advice to breastfeed your children may also be colored by culture. In any case, there are more and more mothers here at home who breastfeed for longer than 1 year. My best advice is to listen to yourself and your baby and skip Google and the well-intentioned advice of good friends. How long at a time should you breastfeed, you may be thinking? Anything from 5 minutes to an hour is normal. You are probably familiar with sitting and eating with other people who either take twice as long to eat as you or almost inhale their food in 2 minutes. The same applies to breastfeeding, everyone has different dietary needs. You can tell if the baby is full by the fact that it seems relaxed, is no longer sucking or perhaps has fallen asleep. Either way, you have to be prepared that you might be stuck in the cozy breastfeeding position for a good while and even more if the baby falls asleep and you simply don't feel like getting up. Here it is super important to have a nursing pillow that supports a comfortable nursing position, where you can also relax while the baby sleeps. How many times a day do you breastfeed? Some breastfeed four times a day, while others breastfeed more than 10 times a day at first. You can probably see that you have to go out with the milk machine quite a few times a day. So there are also quite a few times a day that you risk sitting up like a lightning rod in the battle to get breastfeeding going on track. Just think that with the right nursing pillow, where the ergonomics are top notch, you can reduce pain in the neck, shoulders and back. There is plenty the body has to fight with in advance... such as lack of sleep at night. Shop ergonomic nursing pillow Bottle or breast? Did you know that the number of children being breastfed has decreased in recent years? There is no doubt that the mother's breast milk is some of the best nutrition for your baby and has so many beneficial effects. Nevertheless, we see figures that show that breastfeeding is on a downward curve. It is not clear why this curve is downward, but it is assumed that the new mothers do not get the sufficient help they need to get good and painless breastfeeding up and running. To this, perhaps, you can also add the performance pressure that lies on women who want to perform everything for UG. You read a lot about how things should be done. It might put a black cloud over the breastfeeding project "oh can I now succeed in breastfeeding?" or do you have to show up at your friends' house and be the one "who couldn't do the best for her baby". Just those thoughts in themselves can make breastfeeding difficult. Regardless of whether you choose the bottle or the breast, proximity is what counts. The nursing pillow from Baby Dreamer helps you and baby to sit comfortably and enjoy the close contact at mealtime without disturbing elements, such as pain in the body or pillows that slide around and have to be repositioned now and then.

So his Baby Dreamer bag has been given new life! The bag's unique design follows your child's development and can be used through all stages of childhood. The function of the bag is easily adapted to your child's needs. The bag was a great help to have with you on a shelter trip. Instead of diapers and bodystockings, we packed it with everything a 4-year-old might need on his adventure. The bag's practical design easily holds rain gear, warm socks, blankets, binoculars, a first aid kit and a few books for identifying birds, insects and plants. We had also prepared food from home that we could cook over a fire. It was a really pleasant experience to sit by the fire, look into the flames and eat the food we had made together. It was incredibly nice to get away from the home office and the iPad for a bit, and a walk in nature really gave renewed energy and a wonderful feeling of freedom."
