Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper

The one thing I could not live without if I were to have another baby is without My Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper. I have used this co-sleeper attachment with both of my kids and plan on using it with my next child. The Arm's Reach® Co-Sleeper® Bassinet is the only patented co-sleeping product on the market that offers an exclusive method for attaching the babies sleep space securely to the side of the parent's bed. You and your baby sleep safely and comfortably next to each other from the moment the two of you come home. It has all the benefits of co-sleeping but none of the dangers of bed-sharing. I loved that I could have my babies close by but I didn't need to worry about their safety. You can easily feed during the night and I think it helps the baby sleep better because they can feel you close by and vice versa. If I could recommend only one product to an expecting parent this would be it. It converts from a cosleeper bassinet(it's the only bassinet I know that can hold up to 30 pounds) to a free standing bassinet to a playard.

Seventh Generation Chlorine- Free Diapers

I've been thinking about the environment recently and the little things we can do in our daily lives to make a difference.I've already changed most of my cleaning supplies and am looking into other things that I can do ( I sometimes feel like a big hypocrite because I drive one of the biggest gas guzzlers known to man) . I'm in the transition of changing from traditional disposable diapers to more eco-friendly diapers. I would ideally like to use a diaper service but it's not the most practical thing for our household. I've done some research and from the different reviews that I've poured over, Seventh Generation Chlorine-Free Diapers take the cake. Not only are they better for the environment than traditional diapers, they are also better overall for your baby.

In addition to keeping babies dry, the absorbent polymer is non-toxic and non-irritating to baby’s skin. They tend to be a little more expensive than traditional disposable diapers but knowing that I'm doing something better for the environment and my child might be worth the extra pennies. You can usually find these at your local health food store like Mothers or Whole Foods. You can also find them available online. I hope that they soon catch on and we will soon be able to buy them in bulk at costco!! If you would like to read more about Seventh Generation Diapers click here.

Diapees & Wipees

I don't know about you, but as a mother of two little ones , I find myself always carrying wipes and diapers wherever I go. Sometimes I carry a diaper bag and sometimes I just carry my purse. When I use my purse- I usually just stick the diapers and wipes in my bag and well when I need to use them they are usually scrunched up and yucky.

This is where Diapees&Wipees comes to the rescue. Diapees & Wipees was founded by a fellow mom Christina Leigh Rein. Diapees & Wipees is a unique diaper bag designed to hold a travel pack of wipes and two to our diapers. You can just toss it in your purse or when you're on the run use it all on by itself. The designs are gorgeous and they are very reasonably priced. It's the perfect baby shower gift and great for moms on the go.

Baby's Bliss and Mommy's Bliss

Baby Bliss Gripe Water saved my life.. Really it did. My daughter Lauren was the most colicky baby- She would cry and cry and keep us awake for hours. I searched high and low for an answer and found it in Baby Bliss Gripe Water. It worked in an instant. My daughter was soon sleeping through the night and I was one happy mom. When my son was born I didn't wait for the crying to begin- I gave him Gripe Water from the very first day. As I was looking around their website I discovered that they also have a great prenatal line called Mommy's Bliss. They have everything from morning sickness magic( I wish this would have been around when I was preggos) to Belly Butter for those fun stretchmarks.
