The diaper changing pads that come with the majority of diaper bags are usually the size of a paper towel and provide minimal coverage even for a cooperative baby. As if that isn't bad enough, most babies like to squirm off the changing pad making diaper changes outdoors quite the experience. Thankfully, San Francisco-based mom inventor Grace Welch is making changes easier... with patemm pads - beautiful, round changing pads handmade from oilcloth. Welch is the founder of patemm & company. (Patemm is a combination of her childrens' names - Patrick and Emma.)

patemm & company created two distinct collections of compact diaper changing pads - the Nene an inspiration from the Tagalog term for "little girl" and the father figure inspired Tatay collection.

Visit the patemm & company website to purchase a patemm pad named after Welch, one of Welch's children, her husband, mother, father, father in law, sisters, her eldest sister's alma mater - Brown University, or all the Jacks in the world!

Something tells me Welch can find a name for my son.
