VICTORIA BUSTAMANTE Rincón de la Victoria

Alicia Pérez-Bryan and Elena del Castillo are two mothers who one day got tired of juggling in order to reconcile work and motherhood and decided to open a shop where they could offer all the advice they had not found. Both experienced a great lack of information in different aspects of motherhood, such as restraint systems: "you go to a large warehouse and take the chair away without even knowing if your car is doing well," he explains as an example. For this reason they saw in Rincón, a young and familiar municipality, lack of specialized activities such as yoga or Pilates for pregnant or postpartum and a place to sell products that they themselves could not find a place to buy, adding it to a strong activity of workshops and talks that they offer at my sweet koala store.

"he had a job very uncompatible with motherhood, it was commercial, he traveled a lot, he had dinners and events and conciliar was impossible. With my first daughter, I left her in the morning in the care of a girl and came back in the afternoon tired only to bathe her, give her dinner and put her to bed, and I felt terrible pain, "says this mother. "I was missing a lot of things... His first step, for example, wasn't with me. He said to me, 'this cannot be so, I have not had a daughter so that no one will raise her and see her alone at night'.

That is why in her second pregnancy she took courage to undertake: "I loved my work, I was passionate, but I had to sacrifice something that is very temporary and does not come back, I prefer to sacrifice that stage of my life and enjoy my children," he sums up. In my sweet Koala closes two afternoons a week and the rest of the afternoons only opens two hours, "it gives me a lot of flexibility, in the mornings the rhythm of leaving home is different, before I ran out, now I have a schedule to measure up and I can say goodbye to them calmly in the nursery without leaving them crying," he says, confessing that he has won in quality of life.

My sweet koala: Emprender para poder conciliar

For this reason, and with the experience and absences she has seen in the market, she proposed to Elena to work with her, a teacher of physical education specialized in pelvic soil, in addition to pedagogue, she teaches yoga and Pilates from Monday to Thursday specialized in pregnancy and postpartum. In addition, every weekend they offer family workshops such as musical initiation for babies, moving painting or storytelling. In addition to their activities, there are informative talks such as initiation to ergonomic behavior, positive discipline or road safety, all of which are carried out by professionals. Their workshops are born from the reality of discovering that many times paternity is not what was expected, "from the shop we try to make a little tribe because there is a lot of information about motherhood and families also judge a lot about new parenting methods, you have to unlearn what you learned to adapt to reality," he explains, stating that the important thing is to understand and respect all upbringing and offer the advice that parents ask.

Although what makes the difference between this and other shops with similar products is advice. Its specialties are child restraint systems, carts and carrying bags. "in the car we recommend that children travel back as long as possible, for this it is important to know the installation and the vehicles because not all offer the same inclination to the chair or space," he says. This is why this store always makes an appointment for its customers to carry the vehicle and thus try the chair. The same applies to portability: "backpacks are sold which are not ergonomic for the baby's necessary posture and do not take into account the curvature of the back and the corvae, which is very important", thus always testing the backpack prior to purchase and having continuous advice as the little one grows.

Buying a baby cart is another of his qualities. "even if it seems easy the choice is very complex, they Don't advise you and before you have the baby you Don't consider whether the car is practical, you are guided a lot by the aesthetics and the offer is very large," he explains. Since my sweet koala have reduced their catalogue to some ergonomic and light carts that fold easily, among them some curious ones like the narrowest twin cart on the market or even running carts.

They also have all kinds of baby products such as clothing, furniture and toys montsori or even an ecological care line, cosmetics can be very aggressive on the skin of the little ones, we have a range ranging from 100% natural pregnancy also solar creams or antilice and cloth diapers. They also boast of being the only point of sale in Malaga that sells the clothes of the Club de Malasmadres, of the Lucia Baena corner, and work with clothing brands of local enterprising mothers.
