About Laura
Laura May is the founder and owner of Little Sprouts Baby, a Minnesota-based children’s clothing brand specializing in thoughtfully designed bamboo apparel for babies and young children. What began as a creative venture has grown into a small business centered around something Laura knows well: the beautiful, busy, and sometimes messy reality of raising little ones.
As a Minnesota mom of three, Laura wanted to create clothing that parents would genuinely love putting on their children—pieces that are incredibly soft and comfortable, practical for everyday life, and still feel special. Little Sprouts Baby was created with that balance in mind. The brand offers bamboo rompers, pajamas, dresses, outfits, blankets, sleepwear, and other essentials designed to move with children through everything from quiet mornings at home to family adventures and special occasions.
Laura is personally involved throughout the business, from developing new products and creating print concepts to selecting colors, planning collections, connecting with customers, and packing orders. Many Little Sprouts designs are inspired by the places, traditions, and experiences that are meaningful to her own family. Minnesota has become an especially important part of the brand’s identity, with collections inspired by local traditions and the outdoors alongside designs celebrating family adventures and America’s national parks.
Little Sprouts Baby is also a reflection of Laura’s desire to build something of her own. While working professionally in healthcare and raising three young children, she began growing the brand from the ground up. Building Little Sprouts has given her an entirely different creative outlet—one where she can combine entrepreneurship, design, and her experience as a parent.
At its heart, Little Sprouts Baby is about making childhood a little more comfortable and a little more memorable. Laura believes children’s clothing should be functional enough to be worn again and again while still having the personality and quality that make parents want to save a favorite piece long after their child has outgrown it.
As Little Sprouts Baby continues to grow, Laura remains committed to keeping the personal connection of a small, family-run business at its core: thoughtful products, distinctive designs, and clothing created by a mom who understands the families she is designing for.
