So I had the idea – now what to do? I had no experience of running a business, or of bringing a brand new, never before seen parenting product to market. My previous job of Air Stewardess hadn’t given me business experience – manning an emergency exit, yes, but product development, patents, production, branding, sales and marketing… not so much!
There was an uphill task ahead, but I knew the idea of the Baby Feed Wheel was too good not to take further, so spent the next couple of months researching, researching and researching some more. ByHTTP/1.1 200 OK

<div class="entry">
<p><a href="http://www.chiggs.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/BMW-include-in-email.jpg"></a>In January ’06 we went on a family holiday with some friends and their baby boy to Centre Parcs. I’d made a couple of appointments at the end of the trip to visit <a href="http://www.chiggs.co.uk/trade_and_wholesale.htm" target="_blank">card and gift shops</a> in the Penrith area to show them the <a href="http://www.chiggs.co.uk/shop.htm" target="_blank">Baby Feed Wheels</a> and see if they’d like to sell them, so had taken a stock of the cards (bear with me, this is relevant to the next bit!)</p>
<p>While we were on our break, our friends’ little boy started teething, and they were giving him Calpol to help take the discomfort away. I offered the use of one of our sample Baby Feed Wheels (told you that was relevant) to set the dial and note the times of his medicine so they’d know when the four hours were up, and he could safely be given the next dose.</p>
<p>As soon as we came home I began the search for a suitable embellishment to use (finding the smiling fabric teddy bear) and I was back in contact with the Patent office, with my second invention, the Baby Medicine Wheel!</p>
<p>When designing this gadget, I went for a neutral white so it would be suitable for baby boys or girls, and decided to supply it with an envelope so as well as parents buying it to use themselves, it could easily be bought for, and sent to, a friend with a poorly baby. Like all Chiggs Wheels, it’s supplied sealed in a cellophane wrapper -because it looks good for customers, and helps our <a href="http://www.chiggs.co.uk/stockists.htm" target="_blank">stockists</a> store and display them (we really do try to think of everything!)</p>

<p>There was an uphill task ahead, but I knew the idea of the Baby Feed WX-Powered-By and inform them of the time the error occurred,
and anything you might have done that may have
caused the error.
More information about this error may be available
in the server error log.
