Peace of mind.. It's what every parent wants when it comes to the safety of their child. When my first baby was an infant, she slept in my room, right next to me, and I STILL woke up every hour to check on her. With so many sad SIDS stories, and the fear of something going wrong at night, I had a hard time taking my infant out of my room. When she was 6 months old, I finally felt that she could be moved to her crib. I watched her each night from ...

Baby Safety Month: MAM Baby Products
You might remember my post about MAM pacifiers and the ability to personalize them. These were the first pacifiers I made for my newborn, but since there was a size smaller in the MAM pacifier product line, I decided to give her the newborn pacifiers first. Within a few weeks she had outgrown her newborn pacifiers and started taking the next size and I was finally able to introduce her to the personalized "Mute Button" pacifier I made her. My ...
Tiny Love Nature Pals Gymini Activity Mat
September is Baby Safety Month! Having two babies, I know that no matter how much you "baby proof" accidents can still happen and children can get seriously injured. When I need to walk away from her, even if it is just for a minute, I usually place her in her crib, or on the floor in her play gym. I prefer her to be somewhere grounded as opposed to a swing or bouncer because she already turns from back to belly and I am afraid she will try to ...
Tiny Love My Nature Pals Mobile
My infant loves her "me time." There are several times throughout the day where I put her down in her crib so I can tend to the never ending pile of laundry, when it's time to make meals, and when my toddler needs my undivided attention. I'm fortunate that my infant doesn't mind spending time in her crib, and even falls asleep on her own while she is there. Now that her eyesight is getting better and she is exploring her settings, she is ...
Keep Baby Close With the Infantino Sync!
I never realized how much a baby carrier would come in handy until I had my second baby. I owned a baby carrier for my first, but she hated it. With baby #2, it was more of a necessity and I needed her to be comfortable in one. It just made sense that it would make my life easier to be able to carry baby while chasing after my tot, doing crafts, and walking her to preschool. I loved the idea of a wrap-style carrier for my baby when she was a ...
Beating Infant Boredom with a Play Gym!
My baby girl is shedding her newborn-like features and is transforming into an infant that is much more alert and active. She looks so much like her daddy when she sleeps, but when she's awake, she's ALL mommy. She even has a personality trait that will mean big trouble for me when she is older: she gets bored very easily. She's already exploring toys that have bright colors and textures, and music always grabs her attention. The swing just isn't ...
Some Baby Items You Can’t Live Without! Diaper Pail Review
When I became pregnant with my first child, I knew there were a lot of baby items I would need, and others I could do without. Since we live in an apartment, I didn't want to clutter it with baby gear items that we would only use for a short time. Take for example the bassinet, bouncer, and swing. All these items have a very limited lifespan for a rapidly growing infant. I ended up with all three items, but in retrospect, the amount of time they ...
Evenflo Bebek Trainer Cup Review
Evenflo is trusted name in baby products and has an extensive product line ranging from pacifiers and bottles to car seats and strollers. Just recently I had the opportunity to review their latest in baby feeding from their Bebek line. A new design in the Bebek family is the Bebek Trainer Cup which is a great transition from bottle to sippy. The soft spout is good for babies who are just getting the hang of a sippy cup and the handles work ...
