About Us
About I'm the Pacifier
Our items are all made in house through our parent company Piper Marie, owned by Rebecca Delgado. Rebecca is a mother of four and has been breastfeeding for over SEVEN years! She knows the challenges mothers face while breastfeeding as well as the negative feed back they can receive from others during their journey. That is why she is so passionate about the pacifier campaign. Her hope is to help educate moms so they can have a successful breastfeeding relationship. So many women fall victim to the "Boobie Trap" Not having the right resources or support to know what is normal and when they need help. Even when they ask for help they receive wrong information from their Doctors. She also hopes this campaign will bring to light the importance of breastfeeding and the legal rights moms have to do so. Read Rebecca's Breastfeeding story here.
Mission
"We need to change peoples mind set. That when someone sees a mother breastfeeding in public it is as normal as anything else. We also need to change the question of, "Are you going to breastfeed?" to "How is breastfeeding going?" That it becomes the next basic step to motherhood." -Rebecca Delgado

Inspiration
The inspiration for my work comes from the women I have encountered through-out my life. The way they juggle their everyday life. The motivation and dreams that push them to be at their best. I want to my designs to mold around their life. If my designs can tap into their dreams, to have designs that inspire the wearer; then I’ve reached my goal.
