Product Spotlight - Nummies Bras

Untitled-3

Cute, Stylish, and Comfy - All of the things we definitely want in a bra. But as a Breastfeeding Mom, they are even that more important. So we wanted to introduce you to Nummies Bras.

Alison, who came up with Nummies Bras writes on her website: " When I became a mom, I looked for nursing bras that had function and beauty, that made me feel and look my best, but I just couldn’t find them....I believe that women who breastfeed their children are beautiful. Nummies bras ... are made to accentuate your body and lighten your spirit. Now you don’t have to give up your sense of style simply because you are nursing."

The nursing bra for the modern mom - Molded cups, No wires and Seam free. Perfect for under your t-shirts and blouses. The bras are perfect for pregnancy, right after baby comes and for as long as you are nursing.

As comfortable as it is beautiful - You won’t believe it’s a nursing bra!

Starting at $49.99 Nummies are available in-store at Dear-Born Baby (72 Doncaster Avenue, Thornhill, ON)

Product Spotlight - Baby's First Journal

journal

Baby’s First Journal is a log book that helps parents to track the eating, sleeping and diapering schedules of their newborn. We love it because the journal helps us understand our baby’s needs and assist them in developing a daily routine. At at the price point of $15.99...well, it's pretty awesome! We definitely recommend grabbing one for when your little one arrives, or give it as a Baby Shower gift - it's the perfect price point for a little book that holds a lot of weight in our daily schedules.

Here are some awesome testimonials from some Parents straight from Glow Baby's website...

"With a toddler running around, waking me up early and a baby keeping me up all night, I didn't know if I was coming or going, let alone if I had fed the baby enough or changed her diaper. Keeping track on scraps of paper did not work, who knows where the paper ended up. Using Baby's First Journal helped me to realise that I wasn't nursing the baby as frequently as I should have during the day and once I changed that, she slept more at night!! I recommend it to every mom I know". -Lisa

"I've been using your journal non-stop! It's such a help tracking my pumping and her feeds. Thanks again!! It makes my life a bit more sane". -Adrienne, Toronto Canada (Sept 2009)

Available at Dear-Born Baby either in-store, or online $15.99

Product Spotlight - Miracle Blanket

Let us introduce you to another product that is a staple for a new arrival. It's called "The Miracle Blanket" and is favoured by many Moms + Dads for it's ease of use, and positive effect it has on our little ones.
miracle blanket


We were reading new Mom, Joanna Track's blog over at SweetMama.ca and loved her words on how to describe one of her favourite baby products for baby - "The Miracle Blanket"

"Think of it as swaddling for dummies. The nurses at the hospital make swaddling look so easy, but it isn't. We gave Teddy the nickname "Houdini" because he always managed to get himself out of even the tightest swaddle. But with the Miracle Blanket there is no escaping, and he sleeps better because of it." -Joanna Track, via SweetMama.ca

To show you how it works, here is a really great video we found from 3Kidsandus.com where they review great products.


At 2:45 into the video the review ends, but you get to watch cute little Emma chatter away. ;) (So other than watching a cute baby, the review ends at 2:45 - just warning you)

Visit MiracleBlanket.com to read some testimonials from medical professionals, and see some step-by-step instructions on how this blanket is super-easy to use.

Available at Dear-Born Baby either in-store, or online.

Product Spotlight - Diaper Genie II

On the heel of our last post - our October Giveaway, this product spotlight seemed perfect! If you haven't seen this before, you will want to take note, this is one popular item on our gift registries!

diapergenie


How it works:
Diaper Genie II System is incredibly easy to use with its one-hand operation. (important when parents are holding a child and trying to throw away a diaper at the same time!) Just open the lid, and push a diaper through the Push-N-Lock clamp and odor virtually disappears.

Getting rid of the contents:
The internal childproof cutter makes emptying the pail a breeze. Just cut and seal – The odor free refill keeps odor and mess inside. No ordinary garbage bag can do that. And, with Diaper Genie II System, when you go to empty it, the bag of diapers is sealed to protect against odors. Other pails open to reveal an open bag and a big whiff. And since the diaper never touches the pail, there’s one less thing for you to clean.

Summary:
It's awesome. Odor free, eliminates the use of the hands, unobtrusive design, hygenic. So, No smells, No major clean up. There is a reason why this diaper pail is one of the favourites of new Moms. Definitely add a Diaper Genie II to your gift registry, or just grab one for yourself.

Price: $44.99 CDN Available in-store and online

august blog contest



We've drawn our July Blog contest winner, who was Sarah when she picked the winning number that was 117. Congratulations!! Now, for this months contest....

For August, we're not going to have 1, but TWO winners! Yippee! Two winners will be drawn at the end of August for a Pair of Organic Babylegs!

Natural Organic Cotton BabyLegs are great for babies with ultra-sensitive skin. There are no dyes used in the processing of the cotton.


Even better news? Head over here to pick some up, because they are 40% off in our August Online Sale! It's while quantities last, so if you see a style you like, I'd recommend snatching them up, maybe stock piling for upcoming baby showers, or for yourself.

Introducing the Beaba Babycook

babycook

Let us preface this post by stating that we know what new or expecting Moms + Dads may be thinking when you see this - "Not another gadget for my kitchen!" And you may skip along in the blog to see our next product review - But let us asure you that you are going to LOVE the Beaba Babycook.

The BabyCook allows you to make your own healthy food for your baby - so skip the bottled premade jars from the grocery store, or at least substitute some pre-made every so often, with your own healthy organic food.

The first and foremost best thing about this machine is that it allows us to make our own baby food, so we know what is going into the meal that our child is eating. The machine itself is actually really quite nice looking and is super stylish - which isn't surprising as it is a European design! Cleanup is awesome - we can pop the bowl into the dishwasher after (bonus!) for a quick and easy cleanup in the kitchen. The fact that it's all simply one machine makes us more eager to actually use it, instead of us having to pull out a number of different machines from the kitchen which is time intensive, messy, and discouraging when we NEED to make some food for our little one.



The Beaba Babycook is a one-of-a-kind, patented compact countertop appliance that functions as a steamer, blender, warmer and defroster to prepare fresh, healthy meals for baby.

It starts by steam cooking vegetables, fruits and meats in less than 15 minutes, while preserver their vitamins and flavors.

It then purees and blends them to the desired consistency. Parents can also use the Babycook to quickly reheat or defrost precooked foods.

  • Prepares fresh, healthful meals for baby.
  • It comes with a 2½ - cup capacity bowl, cooking basket, spatula and recipe booklet.
  • The bowl and basket are top-rack dishwasher safe.
  • BPA Safety-Tested For babies 6-24 months. Winner of the 2008 JPMA Innovation
