Little Sprouts pacifier clip

Image
My little Noah who is almost 9 months now and loves to put everything in his mouth. He also loves to play the drop it pick it up game. So I got something that is great for both things. It is this really cute pacifier clip that I don't use for pacifiers. Ok first I need to stop back and do a BIG shout out to the company. Awhile back they gave me a call and started to apologize. I was confused at fist, I was not sure who they where or why they where saying sorry. Turns out that their older model broke on one of the moms and they wanted to fix it and say sorry. So they called me (same name) but got the wrong mom. I was surprised that they would even call. Only great companies go out of their way to make the customer happy! So thank you  Little Sprouts  for keeping an eye out for the safety of the kids.

Little SqueezeMe Reusable Food Pouches

Image
We love food pouches in our house. It is a simple and fun way for babies and kids to feed themselves. It is also great if you make your own baby food. You can just fill it up and take it to go. By far this is one of my favorite and there are a few reasons why. First I like that it is BPA free, PVC free Lead free, and phthalate free.

Postpartum belly warp by Mamaway, best I have ever tired!

Image
All of us want to get back to that pre baby body, well at least I know I want to. While I am now 8 months post baby I have been working my butt off in the gym and starting to get somewhere. I have tired post-pregnancy belly bands before and I have hated them all. I hate them because unless you are standing up the whole time you have them on, they bend and crease. This makes it really hard to war the next time because the crease digs into you. So when I was asked to try  Mamaway Postpartum Belly Band  I was a little worried it would be like the others.

2-in-1 Nursing Cover and Carseat Canopy #momslab

Image
I hate having to carry everything in my diaper bag. It gets heavy after awhile. You have diapers and wipes and spit rags and bottles and cloths and the list can go on and on. So I hate having to carry a nursing cover too. Ok some of you might say, well then just not cover your baby when you feed him. But I am not comfortable doing that so I need a nursing cover. Oh and then during the winter time I love to have a car seat cover to help keep the cold and snow out.... Ok fine I don't live where there is snow right now but I will be in a few months. So there is yet another thing I need to think about bring. There have been a few times where I have even used my car seat cover as my nursing cover. But  Moms Lab  already got me covered there.

Teethy Fruits baby teethers

Image
My son is now 8 months and has 2 teeth on the bottom and 4 on the top! Needless to say he is been cranky on and off. We have found that he love to chew on things. Ok that might sound like a duh but my other too like to suck on wet wash cloths and not have teethers. So Noah is a little different then them. We got him a grape teether for a store and its great, we got it for $8 or $9. But I found a company that sells it in a two pack for $10! Bank I wanted that. This way if he loses one.... which I know he will do I have the other one still.

Ring Sling baby carrier

Image
I have had my far share of baby carries before and there are a few that I like. I love the ones that have lots of back support. With having a big baby he can sure make my back hurt. But I can say that I have never using a ring sling before. The different is that a ring sing goes over one shoulder not both. You would think that this would really hurt your back, well not as much as I thought. If anything it did hurt my shoulder a little. But remember I have never used a ring sling before.

Best teething Necklace I have had from Chew-Choos 'Cutie Pie' Silicone Teething Necklace

Image
Noah is 6 months and has two bottom teeth and working on getting two more. He is also my baby who loves to put thing in his mouth! So most of the time I do not wear any jewelry. We have gotten a few teether for him. Nothing he really likes, ok there is this one grape looking teether he does like. But anyhow.... I got this teething necklace from  Chew-Choos  that Noah just loves. It is stylish and cute. I got mine in blue and grey. But they sell them in all blue, or black and even a pink mix. I have to say I love this teething necklace better then any others I have had. No, no one is paying me to say this, other then my son! He loves to chew on this so much better then my nice necklaces.

MAM Animal pacifiers #review and #giveaway

Image
When my two older boys where born they would not take a pacifier. EVER! I don't know why they just would not take one. While I thought this was good I also saw the bad. While I did not have to worry about needing to wean them off, I also had a harder time getting them off the boob and to bed. So when Noah was born and wanted a pacifier I gave him one. This it helped to calm him down, but we had a small problem... he only wanted the one he got from the hospital. While this was fine when he hit 3 months we tried to get him the 3-6 month pacifier and he would not take it. You might be wondering why they have different pacifiers for each month. Well the pacifier is harder, that way the babies don't suck on it so hard that it bends and gets stuck in their mouth, and yes that has happened. (not to my babies but I have read about it happening) So we decided to try a new pacifier.... he would not take any of them! He still wanted his one from the hospital. Well it hit me while I was ...

Help baby sleep better with Zipadee-Zip #giveaway

Image
I never knew about swaddling a baby or even what that was until my second son was born. Yes they did swaddle him in the hospital but I did not know what that was or how to do it, or even that it helps baby sleep. Now it seams like there are a ton of different types of swaddling wraps out there. Noah is going to be 6 months on Sunday and he has not like to be swaddles in a long time. Don't get me wrong he loves to feel tight, but hates that he can't move this arms.  Zipadee-Zip  is a great mix for me. They give Noah the feel of being swaddled while still being able to move this arms. One random thing that I have found I love about this is that he can't scratch me. Here is a little info about Noah, he loves to hold your hand while he is feeding and sometime when he is trying to fall asleep he can scratch... if I have not clipped his nails.

3 Pack Unisex Pacifier Clips #savvybaby

I have found that I love Pacifier clips for more then just pacifiers. I got mine from  SavvyBaby  and I just love them. They work with the pacifiers I am ready have as well as some of this toys.

Banana Toothbrush #review great for any teething baby #Bananatoothbrush

Image
At what age should you start brushing your babies teeth? Maybe when they have teeth? But what about the gums? Most babies start getting solids even before they have teeth. I think it is never to early to start brushing the gums. But you always want to use something soft and make it fun for baby. So how about this really cute banana brush ?

Earth Mama Angel MilkMaid tea and Natural Nipple Butter review and #giveaway 7/3

Image
When I had my first son I had a ton of problems with my milk supply. Little did I know then it was thyroid problem. But I had to think of something to help boost my supply that way I would not have to supplement with formula. That was when I won my first giveaway... and it so happened to be  Earth Mama Angel Baby  and the MilkMaid Tea. So I looked more into what/who EMAB was and I found some great things!

Blue baby car seat cover from bonfide #babycarseatcovers

Image
I love car seat cover, they really are good just about any time of the year. It is going to be 113' all week so whenever we go out I want to make sure my little boy is covered and not getting beat by the sun. And during the winter time its a good way to keep the baby warm. I love the car seat cover from  bonafide baby  oh and it also come with a stroller clip (to hang your diaper bag on).

Times are hard for everyone. Lets just face that here and now, we all look for the deal/coupsons/saving that we can get, we all want to save some money. But it becomes hard to do that for kids and their foods. Don't even get me starting on how much baby formula is! I think that was a BIG reason why we decided to breastfeed. ITS CHEAP!

RSV, how to protect your little ones #RSVAwareness

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of  Mom Central Consulting  #MC for MedImmune. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.” I still remember it like it was yesterday. I was a first time mom of a little baby boy, he was going to be three months in four days. He woke every two seconds having a hard time breathing. I tried to suck his nose out with the nose sucky thing (that what we call that blue nose ball thing) with nothing coming out. I was up all night with him that night making sure that he could breath. The next morning he started to have a small cough. I was so lost as what to do and what was wrong with him. Part of me did not want to take him to the hospital because he had already spent a week (the first week he was born) in there. I also felt like there where going to blow me off. When Aiden was born
