Los Angeles, CA – An inventive grandmother
and her daughter are revolutionizing baby and
toddler mealtimes with the first-time introduction
of an innovative all-over food proof coverage
bib that promotes independent eating –
minus the stress and mess for parents.
A patented, full-coverage bib, the Original Crumb Chum™, will be available starting October, 2003 in stores and online at www.letbabiessoar.com. The Crumb Chum is a bib designed to cover little ones from chin-to-waist, across the lap, over the legs and to the toes. Crumb Chum's make welcome, unique baby gifts.
“Millions of parents and caregivers can
relate to daily disasters involving yogurt,
oatmeal and other runny, mushy foods that inevitably
lead to a change of clothes, post-mealtime baths
and unnecessary stress,” explains product
creator Marsha Mintz. “Unfortunately,
most parents resort to spoon-feeding their children
to avoid the mess – long after they’re
capable of feeding themselves. With the Crumb
Chum, parents don’t have to sacrifice
independence for the sake of cleanliness,”
said Mintz, a former teacher with a child development
degree.
In addition to chin-to-toe coverage, the Crumb Chum also features a roomy, easy-clean pucker pocket that catches drips and crumbs before they have a chance to reach the floor. However, the Crumb Chum was designed with more than just the kitchen floor in mind. Its flexibility makes it ideal for car seats, strollers or even craft time. Perfect baby shower gift ideas!
Geared for little ones aged six months to four
years, the Crumb Chum comes in two sizes –
6 months to 15 months (up to 21 lbs.) and 15
months to 4 years (up to 40 lbs.), and are also
ideal for special-needs children and/or children
in wheel chairs. It is made of a lightweight
fabric that wipes easily and is machine washable
and dryer safe.
Necessity has certainly turned out to be the
grandmother of invention for "Grammy Marsha"
and her daughter, "Aunt Stephanie,"
who invented the Crumb Chum after feeling frustrated
with traditional bibs while caring for Marsha’s
grandson. Going beyond the Crumb Chum, the ambitious
mother/daughter duo established Let Babies Soar!,
LLC, a company dedicated to products that empower
young children and promote independence, self-esteem
and self-confidence.
“It was a serendipity-turned-success
story for us,” Marsha Mintz said. “Due
to my grandson moving into our home, we were
able to observe what was needed and what was
missing in the marketplace. We turned a difficult
situation into something positive.” |

Now, Marsha and Stephanie are on a mission
to educate parents and other child caregivers
that the Crumb Chum is more than just a new
product – it’s a celebration of
a child’s independence.
“Learning to eat without help is an important
step along a child’s path to self-discovery,”
Stephanie noted. “The Crumb Chum allows
children to explore the art of feeding themselves
carefree, no matter how many bits and pieces
they spill along the way, without frustrating
their parents.” |

The mother-daughter duo founded Let Babies
Soar!, LLC with children’s diverse growth
experiences in mind. Devoted to the creation
of growth-enrichment products for children,
the company aims to encourage a child’s
independence and self-confidence and build their
self-esteem from the start. “Studies show that children remember
experiences starting at a young age,”
Stephanie said. “Let Babies Soar!, LLC
provides tools to help parents make their children’s
first memories positive. We give them the building
blocks to help their children develop independence
and self-esteem that leads to bright futures.”
Crumb Chum is available for $14.99 online and

stores. For additional information on the Crumb
