A VedaBaby Bath Is Like A Mini Spa Treatment

Lisa Estall — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 17:10:00 GMT

I discovered this baby skincare collection VedaBaby and really like the products. Inspired by using ancient ayurvedic principles and herbal remedies, VedaBaby is the creation of a pediatrician who wanted to provide parents with products containing the purest ingredients for their babies. I've been using... Shampoo and Body Wash for my baby and it feels like she's getting a mini spa treatment since the smell is really calming.

It's $40 a jar but if you want to splurge, it would make a nice treat for your children.

The Babble Review: CLENE Change Mat

editors — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 22:04:00 GMT

You breastfeed exclusively, use cloth diapers and cloth wipes and are already planning organic meals once your babe requests pureed carrots. Naturally when it comes to plopping your babies butt on a changing mat you’re going to want to go CLENE. Made with bamboo-carbon the changing pad is antimicrobial, mold-resistant, washable and allergy-friendly. Yes, your kiddo is going to poop on it but if you’re dotting your is and crossing your ts, this cushy (we can vouch for the comfy aspect, as our three-year-old wanted to use it as a pillow) and portable pad should be on your list. – April Peveteaux

Your Coffee Table's Worst Nightmare

Cathy Hale — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:00:00 GMT

Adorable babies and bumps on the head seem to go together like PB & J. Protect that sweet noggin from your mean old coffee table with this product from Safety 1st. The Expandable Table Edge Bumper softens sharp corners, is easy to remove and expands from 141" to 192" to fit most medium-sized tables. This is by no means the most attractive solution (unless you have a light blue table), but it's much better than a big ugly bruise! There is also a small version. Retails for $35 at BabyEarth.

Major League Baseball Baby Blankets

Chris Ford — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 23:00:00 GMT

I know baseball season is a long way off, but here is a baby shower gift idea I've never seen before. If the parents-to-be in your life are baseball fans, Major League Baseball Team themed receiving blankets might be something you want to check out. Every baby needs an extra blanket or two, right?

The blankets aren't available in every team (that I can find at least) but they have a decent selection over at the Babies R Us web site. You might also want to check out each individual team's web sites too.

MLB Receiving Blankets, $12.99 from Babies R Us (ToysRUs.com).

7 Days of Skin Care: Tough Titties Nipple Rub

Heather Kuldell — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 00:51:00 GMT

Hey mommies, this one’s for you. If you took the breastfeeding route, you’re gonna need something to prevent the chapping, splitting and otherwise horrible things that can happen to your jumblies during this special time. Tough Titties can help you out.

Tough Titties Nipple Rub helps sooth sore nipples with lanolin, beeswax, vitamin E and a combination of essential oils. In addition to smelling purty, lemon and geranium oils share antiseptic properties, coconut oil is anti-microbial and the clove oil ... well, it smells purty. According to the makers, Tough Titties is less sticky than just lanolin and absorbs into the skin quickly so you don’t have to wipe it off. And yeah, part of the fun of this post was writing “Tough Titties” over and over again.

One tin sells for $5.99 at LeastLikely2Breed.net.
