Today we’d like to introduce you to Emma Freer.
Hi Emma, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I spent over a decade in the retail industry, working for some incredible brands and learning what truly makes apparel both functional and beautiful. A few years ago, I became a mom for the first time and like many, I struggled postpartum. Much of that struggle stemmed from sleep deprivation. I’d wake up multiple times a night to feed and change diapers, and there were moments, in a complete fog, when I’d undress my baby only to find the diaper wasn’t even dirty.
Those moments stuck with me. I thought, “what if I could check the diaper without fully undressing my baby?” Sleep is so precious in those early months – I wanted to design something that saved even a few extra minutes and spared one unnecessary wake-up.
That idea became the SleekPeek Pajama – a thoughtfully designed onesie with a back opening that lets you check for a dirty diaper without undressing your baby. I spent three years researching the best materials, factories, and perfecting the design. Now, I’m thrilled to finally be launching this summer.
Through Meemo Jeemo, I’ve discovered a deep passion for designing products that make the transition into motherhood even just a little bit easier. Our motto is: Love the Mother, Love the Child. Because when we support moms, we support babies too. And with every pajama purchase, we donate diapers to a mother in need – a small but meaningful way to pay it forward.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Building Meemo Jeemo has been a deeply rewarding journey, but it hasn’t always been smooth. Like many new entrepreneurs, especially as a stay-at-home mom balancing family life, I faced challenges juggling time, energy, and resources. Developing the pajama design took longer than expected because I was committed to finding the perfect materials and factory partners that matched my vision for quality and comfort.
Navigating the world of product development, manufacturing, and marketing while caring for a newborn and toddler tested my patience and resilience. There were many moments of doubt, especially when setbacks happened or progress felt slow. But my passion for creating a product that genuinely eases motherhood kept me going.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Meemo Jeemo?

If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
Growing up, I was adventurous and creative, always eager to explore the outdoors and try new things. I loved running barefoot through the woods, traveling to new places, and had a knack for finding treasures in thrift stores and turning them into something special. I’ve always had a strong sense of empathy, which made me value close relationships and caring for animals & others from a young age.
I was also responsible and hardworking, balancing school with jobs like babysitting and delivering newspapers. Team sports like volleyball helped me stay connected and grounded. These traits – curiosity, creativity, empathy, and resilience – have shaped who I am today.
My passion for fashion and design led me to a career in retail, but becoming a mom transformed my perspective. It inspired me to create products that genuinely make motherhood easier. That blend of creativity, care, and a desire to make a difference has always been at the heart of what I do.
