Baby Briefcase |
Company: | Organized From The Start |
|
Baby Briefcase makes record keeping for your infant a snap.
For those who like to have things organized, as I do, it can seem
overwhelming to have so much paperwork rolling in, when you are a
bit consumed with the idea of a new baby to tend to.
With the help of Baby Briefcase, you will not be caught off guard when this happens, having to scurry around and find a new place to keep all of these records that were not part of your filing system prior. Now everything concerning baby can be neatly kept in one organized location, ready to be grabbed up at an instants notice. The creator of Baby Briefcase has thought it all through extremely well. She knew what you would need to organize and has made room for it all. The Baby Briefcase has the following items included: Additional file folders are also available should you need to add on. Having this all laid out for you, with such an organized and helpful structure simply makes life easier when you need it to be the most. As new documents roll in, simply place them in the appropriate predestined spot, and it is there for you, when you need it. Let's face it - this is something we could do ourselves ... but ... A) Would we? When we are so busy with the new baby, usually we are consumed with him and do not take the time needed to become organized. We usually set everything aside, tuck this paper away in this drawer or in this baby bag, and when we go to retrieve it, OH NO! Which spot was this one placed in? B) If we do it ourselves, it would not be so well laid out and organized, and not nearly as attractive. This is an absolute asset for any parent or parent to be. Having records for each child, in an easy to find spot, easy to recognize as "the place" will make life SO much easier from the very first day baby arrives. Well priced - beautifully detailed - and such a thoughtful gift for yourself or a friend/family member having a newborn. Pick one up today and start off right! - ORGANIZED FROM THE START! <<<- (2006) RETURN TO TOP | Buy Now At Amazon  |

Baby Girl Pink Bear |
Company: | BananaNana |
|
You have never seen anything quite as a-dor-able as an a-door-nimal!
These are simply PRECIOUS! ... and SOFT! WoW, so cuddly! I think I am in love!
They truly are spectacular. Such a beautiful, practical, economical, and caring gift.
What a fun and exciting way to announce baby's arrival, both before and after.
In one small bundle of joy, you have a beautiful decoration, an exciting announcement, and a lovable, long lasting toy. (no, not the baby, honey! The a-door-nimal!) The a-door-nimal comes in a blue or pink bear, a baby lamb (adorned in pink), a girl or boy frog blankie, and a dinosaur (adorned in blue). I have reviewed the pink bear and she is so sweet. She is also larger than what I imagined from the photos. BACKGROUND Created by a grandma, to give to her new grandbaby. Because of this, you know that true care was given to insure quality, and style. Every detail was taken into consideration, and the result was a beautiful, versatile gift, that will last and last. Now grandma has brought her creation to the marketplace, so everyone can experience the pleasure of this upscale, delightful gift. WHAT IS IT? It is a count down calendar, a door hanger announcement, a keepsake, and a plush animal. The bear comes with a double face satiny ribbon and bow. This allows you to hang it from the door handle, so you can take it to the office to count down the days till baby arrives, and to make a beautiful hospital room decoration. The ribbon can be removed, when baby wants her toy. One side of the reversible heart board is a dry erase board. This allows you to add your personalized message, and change it from a pregnancy calendar to an announcement easily and quickly. A marker is included, so you can add and change your messages. Turn the heart board over for a non-erasable and acid free side, and add baby's foot or handprints, for an ornamental keepsake to treasure forever. This too can be easily removed, and placed in baby's memory book, when you give the a-door-nimal to baby. The curly ribbon announcing IT'S A BOY! or IT'S A GIRL! comes on a peel 'n stick label, so it can be easily attached anywhere you like. WHAT IS IT USED FOR? It is a count down calendar, announcing the expected arrival of your baby. It is a door hanger announcement, to hang on the hospital door when baby arrives, so everyone knows baby is here. It is a keepsake, to treasure forever. It is a soft, plush animal, for baby to play with, for a very long time. FOOTNOTE: This is a practical and thoughtful gift, to yourself and your baby, or to give to that friend or loved one who is expecting a new bundle of joy. (no, not the a-door-nimal, honey! The baby!) Please see their website, to view all of the available characters. You will be pleased with the quality of this a-dor-able, a-door-nimal! <<<- (2006) RETURN TO TOP | 2006 Gold Award | Press Release | Press Release |

Comfortsafe |
Company: | ComfortSafe, LLC |
|
I must say, I am highly impressed with the Comfortsafe. Its unique design and safety features, make this an excellent product to add to your must have list for a new baby in the house.
This is a beautiful, comfortable, and well made product. Comfortsafe offers many designs, patterns and colors to choose from, making it a perfect piece to add to any nursery. A safer alternative to regular bumper pads, the Comfortsafe is a solid bumper pad set, which is attached/sewn to a sheet that lays under the mattress. This keeps the sides of the bumper pad from coming up, for baby to get under and cause suffocation. The bumper pads then attach to the crib rails with strong velcro, that are then covered with large cloth ties which keeps the velcro concealed and dresses up the look of this nice set. The material is a soft, breathable fabric. The Comfortsafe is soft, comfortable, and such a well made product. The quality is superb. I know you will be very happy with it, as I have been with mine. Bumper pads have long been loved, as a product that keeps baby from bumping her head, or getting their feet, arms or legs stuck in the rails, etc. However, with all of the fear of SIDS, many mothers have been reluctant to use them, as they fear the worse. With Comfortsafe, it eliminates the worries behind those fears, as baby cannot get hung up on the bumper pads, by getting up under them. There is no way for them to become lodged in them, as it is protected by being around the mattress. I have an extra large mattress in our crib, and the Comfortsafe worked even on it (though a very snug fit). I simply love it for the fact it keeps my little one from constantly banging into the rails with her head, as she was doing prior to using the Comfortsafe. I also love the fact I have finally found a bumper pad set I can use without the worries I had about using them prior. Up until Comfortsafe, my baby did not use a bumper pad at all, I just didn't trust the idea. So when I was asked to do this review, I was reluctant, but curious ... I am so glad I said okay. The Comfortsafe has been a godsend, and I have told everyone I know, that has a baby, about this product and I am happy to be able to tell you about it too. Now, my little one sleeps longer because she doesn't awaken from bumping her head, and I sleep easy knowing she is safely asleep and I have nothing to worry about. WHAT IS IT? A bumper pad that is attached to a flat sheet, that surrounds the mattress for safety and to hold it securely in place. WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS PRODUCT? Every baby newborn and older, will enjoy this product, as will the mother of the baby, who can rest as easy as I am now, knowing baby is safely asleep. If you know of someone having a baby soon, what a thoughtful gift the Comfortsafe would be to give. Stop by and speak to Irene, and see what she has to offer. You will be so glad you did. <<<- (2006) RETURN TO TOP |

Designer Baby Sling |
Company: | Parmeter Creations LLC |
|
If you are like me, you love to carry your lil snookums in a sling but find many of them are just not very comfortable to wear because of your small frame. Those straps can be killer on the shoulder, trying to get them adjusted where you can support baby's weight properly and still be able to walk around unbound.
The Designer Sling has us in mind! Created for just this purpose, the Designer Sling is much more comfortable and easy to use. This has been a true pleasure and blessing to find. The quality of the Designer Sling is outstanding. The design is perfection all the way and the fabric is terrific and lightweight enough so baby is not overheating during use. A perfect solution for a perfect experience. I trust you will find this sling to be as great as I have. It is the most comfortable one I have found. Everyone always told me that Slings are just not that comfy for smaller framed women. Now I can let them know this is not the case anymore! Us tiny gals can have a comfortable experience as well. The pouch on this is large enough to give baby room for many different carrying positions in a comfortable manner. Both you and baby will enjoy this ability to change positions with ease. This was another thing I never liked about most slings - the pouch was so small I felt like baby was not comfortable or safe. The Designer Sling removes all of this worry. It is also not so large that it feels like you will lose baby in tote... It is truly a perfect match for my baby and myself. I have found none I like more. Finally - Perfection! Thank you Parmeter Creations for thinking of me, and others like me! Multiple fabric choices are available as are multiple styles. If you do not wish to have the style or color I have - you will have fun choosing another from the vast array of choices offered. Check out the website and see which one matches your style and needs! <<<- (2006) RETURN TO TOP |

Nurse 'n Glow Pillow |
Company: | Bela Baby |
|
The Nurse n Glow Pillow, by Bela Baby, is such a dream come true, in the line of nursing necessities. For so long mothers have had to fiddle around in the dark, or ensure they had a small/soft night light, to nurse their baby in the middle of the night. This can be a challenge, and also a pain, when you have to get back up to turn off the light. With the Nurse n Glow Pillow, there is nothing more to worry about. The soft light from the pillow, illuminates the area just enough to see, without keeping mom, baby or bed partner awake. In 30 minutes it goes out by itself, so there is no need to stay awake or turn anything off. If the 30 minute timer does not allow enough time, simply press on the button, on top of the pillow, and you will have another 30 minutes of soft glow to use. Because it is LED light, it will not burn out and need changed, nor will it get hot. Now you can see what you are doing, while ensuring baby is properly aligned for feeding. This too has not always been an easy task, as you try to find a pillow that will work without taking up all of the room in the bed. This pillow fits perfectly on a normal queen bed, in between mom and dad, allowing enough room for baby. If your husband tosses and turns in bed, as mine does, this will also allow him to rest peacefully, because he will not have to worry about rolling onto baby. The pillow provides a safe barrier between baby and dad. The attached pocket is also handy, for holding items you need for nursing. Now they can be kept handy, but away from baby. This is simply a must have for any nursing mom. This will enhance your night time nursing like nothing else I know of. <<<- (2006) RETURN TO TOP | Buy Now At Amazon  |

See Shell Baby Carrier |
Company: | See Shell |
|
The See Shell Baby Carrier is terrific! Ever get tired of lugging around a big, heavy carseat? Now you do not have to! The See Shell Baby Carrier is here to make life easier (and your load lighter!) The carrier is well made, sturdy and very portable. Use it at home or when out at a friends house, or at a restaurant. Not to be used as a car seat! This is excellent to use for feeding your infant, prior to using a high chair, or in conjunction with using one, when the seat proves to be more convenient.
- Has been thoroughly tested for safety and passed all tests at the ACTS Testing Labs in Buffalo, New York. - The See Shell only weighs 6 lbs, so it is easy to carry. - The tubular steel carry handle makes for a very heavy duty (yet lightweight) carrying system for your infant. The design is so charming, you will be as happy as a clam. The hood appears as a shell and the print of the fabric is on topic for the look created by this great seat (sea shell print). Created by a grandma, who was looking for a seat for her grandchild that was lightweight and easy to port around. When she was unable to find one that matched her desires, she went to work to create one. This proved to be a long journey, to ensure everything was how she envisioned, but her success is your dream come true! If you ever wondered why a 7 lb baby had to weigh almost 20 lbs by the time you added the seat and the blankets, now you no longer have to worry - A combined weight with an average baby and the seat is now an easy 13 lbs! Who could ask for anything more!? The design of this seat allows it to fit closely to your body when carrying. It is comfortable to position and reduces arm fatigue greatly. The harness comes off with one quick and easy snap, and while it is in place it works effectively to hold baby safely in the seat. Handy - Lightweight - Convenient - Easy to use - Safe - Comfortable - TERRIFIC! That is my view of this product. <<<- (2006) RETURN TO TOP | 2006 Platinum Award | Press Release |

SleepSack Swaddle |
Company: | HALO Innovations Inc. |
|
A percentage of every sale goes directly to First Candle Halo Innovations has now improved on an already great product! We have previously reviewed their Sleepsack™ Wearable blanket, and now they have added a removable swaddle feature to the design, to help yet another audience; those with babies who suffer from colic, or startle reflex. Now you have two products in one, to serve a great purpose - the care and comfort of your infant. Swaddling helps colicky babies to calm down to sleep, by holding them snuggly, which imitates the closeness they felt in the mother's womb. This technique has been used successfully in Europe for decades, and has now become very popular in the U.S. Swaddling also helps babies to not flinch awake from movement, noises, or brain activity when asleep. This is a common problem with all newborns, and one that can be easily remedied by using the swaddling method. This product enables baby to sleep securely in the crib, without the use of blankets, which can become tangled up or become a rebreathing hazard, linked to SIDS, if they get by baby's face. Now you and baby can sleep in peace, knowing he/she is safe and sound in their own bed. The removable swaddling feature makes this product great for when you wish to use it without the swaddle wings. Simply remove them, and you have a SleepSack™ Wearable Blanket. BACKGROUND: The SleepSack™ Wearable Blanket is recommended by the First Candle/SIDS Alliance. WHAT IS IT? A wearable blanket, which fits over baby's pajamas. It provides enough room for baby to move legs freely, yet remain warm. The swaddling feature wraps around baby's arms to provide comfort and hold them snuggly in place, so they are calmed. The zipper is inverted, so it opens from the bottom. This makes diaper changing much easier with a sleeping baby, as well as keeping it from pinching baby's delicate skin. WHAT IS IT USED FOR? This product is used to work as a wearable blanket for sleeping. This eliminates the need, frustrations, and dangers of blanket use. Simply slip it on, over baby's diaper or pajamas, for a warm & comfortable night sleep. WHO WILL LIKE IT? Mothers of newborn infants will appreciate this product very much. They will fit a baby up to 12 lbs. SIDE NOTE: This product comes beautifully packaged, and gift ready. A beautiful and high quality product that both you and baby will enjoy. Makes a perfect shower or new baby gift as well. FOOTNOTE: <<<- (2006) RETURN TO TOP | Buy Now At Amazon

The Sling Tote is just that bag. Available in every style and print imaginable, the Sling Tote is easy to use and can be carried one of three ways - as a tote, as a messenger bag, or it can easily be attached to your stroller.

I absolutely adore this bag. It is so beautiful you can easily forget it is a diaper bag. It will long outlive the days of needed diapers, and can then be used as a handy beach bag, shopping tote, etc. The Sling Tote comes with many accessories. A see thru diaper wipe case, a change pad, 2 lined pockets, a zippered pocket, 4 elastic top pockets, an insulated bottle holder, stroller attachments, a removable messenger strap, stowable tote handles, and elegance that is unmatched! If you have a busy outing out of doors, and it becomes soiled, it is so easy to wash off. It is also comfortable to wear over the shoulder and light enough to carry by hand without tiring quickly. If you have been looking for that "perfect" finish to your mother wardrobe, I suggest adding this one to your attire. It not only makes an elegant fashion statement, it serves its true purpose perfectly, and with flair. <<<- (2006) RETURN TO TOP | Buy Now At Amazon  |

Swaddle Me |
Company: | Kiddopotamus |
|
Babies are born into a world that does not provide the comfort and warmth of the womb. For some babies this can be traumatic, causing them to find it hard to sleep for long, as they do not feel the comfort or protection of a close fit. Some babies also seem to suffer from colic, or other ailments, that make sleep a thing of the past for new parents. For reasons such as these, swaddling has become a very common household name in American homes with newborns, and has been used extensively in Europe for many generations. So many new parents have found that from the first night of swaddling their new baby, there has once again been sleep in the household, and baby has been content for several hours, if not for a full night sleep. Kiddopotamus has brought to the marketplace the SwaddleMe, adjustable infant wrap. This swaddling blanket does not require having to learn the art of swaddling, as the wings are fastened in the rear with velcro, once you have it positioned for your baby. One of the nice features of the SwaddleMe by Kiddopotamus, is the fact you can partly open it for ventilation, if baby is becoming too hot. You can also open up just the bottom portion, making diaper changes a breeze. And I think my favorite feature of the SwaddleMe, that I have not seen in another swaddling blanket prior, is you can bring this one to the car, and use in the baby's carseat. By using the available slits in the SwaddleMe, it easily fits the harness system of most carseats, and thereby makes car riding much more comfortable for very young infants. You can do the same with baby's swing! The fabric of the one I reviewed is the microfleece. This is such a wonderful fabric, I just love it. So soft, cuddly and warm. Baby will be sure to enjoy sleeping in this one! Between the great features the SwaddleMe offers, I am not sure which is my favorite. I do know baby loves every one of them, as do I. This is a great swaddling blanket for any new mom. Even the ones who feared the word "swaddling" because it sounded like too much work to learn. Now there is no learning, only the benefit of a baby who is snug as a bug, without the constant wake ups caused from the startle reflex that every infant has from birth. <<<- (2006) RETURN TO TOP | Buy Now At Amazon  |

Swaddleaze |
Company: | 2 Virtues |
|
A simple step to a good night's sleep! The Swaddleaze, by 2 Virtues, is a sleep sack and swaddler, all in one. This allows you to use the same garment while baby is in need of swaddling, and when they simply need a reliable and safe way to sleep warmly. This feature offers exceptional savings, as well as convenience.
BACKGROUND: Necessity is the mother of invention. Heather Allard, president of 2 Virtues, learned the truth of that saying after watching her daughter, Grace suffer countless sleepless nights because of the involuntary startle reflex, known medically as Moro Reflex. Sleep would elude Grace night after night, as she’d startle, her little arms flailing as she wailed in frustration. Allard, whose company was inspired by her two daughters, Hope and Grace, wanted to help baby Grace get some peaceful sleep. So she tried everything. The traditional swaddling technique she’d learned from maternity nurses. Cozy wearable sleep sacks. Even some newfangled swaddling blankets. But none of them worked. And some were downright complicated. She and Grace still desperately needed to get some sleep. And since necessity is the mother of invention, Allard decided to design something herself. Out came the sketchpad and Swaddleaze The Startle-Free Sleeper™ was born. Allard created the first product of its kind—a product that would swaddle babies quickly and easily, reduce the startle reflex, keep them warm, and help them sleep safely and soundly. And not surprisingly, Swaddleaze The Startle-Free Sleeper™ helps new parents get the sleep they desperately need, too. Parents rest easy knowing their little ones are sleeping peacefully. WHAT IS IT? Swaddleaze is a swaddling blanket, as well as a sleep sack. Swaddling has been a technique used in Europe for decades, and is very effective in calming an infant and in helping them remain asleep longer, because they will not awaken from the startle reflex. Sleep Sacks have been successfully used in the USA for quite some time. Sleep Sacks reduce the risk of SIDS, and keep baby warm all night, as they cannot kick the covers off in the middle of the night. This combination is great and allows for versatility dependant on need and age of the child. WHAT IS IT USED FOR? To give both baby and mother a better night sleep. Mom will know baby is warm and safe, and baby will be comfortable and warm. The swaddler is used to keep baby confined, which enables them to relax and rest peacefully, as they adapt to the coziness they are used to from their mother's womb. This added feeling of security has been proven to help babies with colic, and encourages better sleeping in infants who do not suffer from colic. It also alleviates the problem all newborns experience, that of the startle reflex waking them out of a good sleep. The swaddler will hold baby's arms close and in a comfortable position, keeping them snuggly by their side, as they sleep soundly. The Sleep Sack will be used long after the swaddler is no longer needed. This is the preferred method for infant sleeping, as it reduces the risk of SIDS, by keeping blankets out of the crib, that may be kicked off, or caught around baby's head, which is a great risk for rebreathing. Sleep Sacks allow for ventilation, to prevent overheating, but keep baby warm the whole night thru. Simply slip the Sleep Sack on, over baby's pj's, and rest assured your baby is off to a good night sleep, and will not become chilled. SIDE NOTE: Made of breathable Microfleece. When it is cold, place the Swaddleaze over baby's pajamas. When it is hot out, simply place the Swaddleaze over a diaper, and baby will be set.
