Safe Sleepwear for Infants and Baby! {HALO Comfortluxe Giveaway}

As a mom, I am always concerned about my babies safety. That means when she goes to sleep at night, I still worry. Just because she is sleeping doesn’t me she is safe. I have always worried about putting blankets on my baby at a young age. She is only seven months old and too many times she wraps the blankets around her face and panics, and that is just when she is laying on the floor and I am supervising her. We do not put blankets in her crib with her, to keep her safe. This leads to me worrying about her getting cold during the night.

I was recently given the opportunity to review HALO’s brand new line of sleepwear- HALO Comfortluxe. Actually my little girl did all of the reviewing. I was immediately impressed with the fabric when I opened the package. It was light weight and very soft, yet able to keep my baby warm.  I am happy to report that she wears it all the time and it helps mommy sleep easy too! I know she is staying warm and safe all in one.

Comfortluxe fabric breathes better than cotton and helps promote healthier skin.  It works by regulating body temperature and wicking moisture away from the skin where it evaporates quickly (twice as fast as cotton).  Little ones stay cooler when it’s warm and warmer when it’s cool.

Comfortluxe has also been award the Seal of Acceptance by the National Eczema Association.  Wearing Comfortluxe can help soothe eczema and sensitive skin by reducing the itch/scratch cycle that can lead to flare-ups, irritatio

n and discomfort.

Aro-mom-therapy {Snoedel Giveaway} CLOSED

Snoedel means “snuggle” in Dutch.  The Snoedel is made for just that…snuggling. 

Snoedel is the original sleeping and bonding aid for babies completely handcrafted in the United States by moms, grandmothers, and female college students under “newborn-safe” conditions (environments free of tobacco and perfumes.)

The sense of smell is one of the first things that bonds a baby to its parents.  Each Snoedel is designed specifically to absorb and maintain a parent’s scent.  Once placed near an infant the scent is slowly released to comfort the baby.  This will help improve sleep and also help calm and soothe a crying and fussy baby.  One parent should sleep with the Snoedel for a couple of nights prior to giving it to a baby.

This is perfect if a premature birth is anticipated.  Mom can “prep” the Snoedel prior to the birth.  Then the new little cutie is taken to be placed in the incubator, put the Snoedel in with the baby. Or even baby’s that need to go into surgery shortly after being born.

This is also very wonderful in the adoption process.  Your baby can start bonding with you while you are waiting for it’s arrival.  Imagine how helpful it can be in international adoptions when waiting periods are longer.  PERFECT!

Snoedel gave me the opportunity to review the jungle baby print Snoedel.  It is super soft!  The 18″x18″ size is just right for a newborn.  I can hardly wait to have a little cutie of my own and give it to them.

Snoedel’s are also available in a toddler size–twice the size…32″x30″!  There are so many fabrics to choose from.  You can even embroider it for added personalization.

Today Snoedel is giving one lucky winner…

an infant Snoedel of their choice of fabric!!

Cutie Patootie Blanket {Abel Mabel Giveaway} CLOSED

I love seeing little cuties accessorized with adorable things.  No longer should a baby have those cheesy mass produced accessories that aren’t really all that cute.  Help make your child’s extras look as cute as their little faces!

Abel Mabel is an Etsy shop that shows off the workings of two sisters, Jen and Leann.  They love finding the “unusual” and making it functional.  They also upstage the not so cute by making “OOO!  I love that!  Where did you get it?” items.

One of those oh-so-cute items are their Lovies.  Don’t know what a lovie is?  Let me show you.

Magenta Swirls Lovie with Minky for Baby Girls Zoo Animals Lovie the Minky for Baby BoysFlower Sketch Lovie with Minky for Baby Girls Grey and Yellow Patchwork Lovie with Minky for Baby

Lovies are a cuddly blanket…a bit smaller than their blankets.  Both lovies and blankets are great cuddly baby blankets with a minky material on the back.  They are the perfect size for your child to carry around the house, take in the car, to to cuddle up at night with.  There are plenty of fabrics for boys and girls.  Pick a lovie or blanket to match their personality, an outfit, a car seat, or just the one you love the most.  This will be a favorite item they can grow up with and continue to love.   Lovies and blankets range from $8.50- $25.00.

Red Birdie Blanket with Minky for Baby

Abel Mabel sent me the adorable Red Birdie Blanket.  The top material is a soft black and white cotton fabric.  Underneath is a super soft black polka dotted milky fabric.  The dots are slightly raised, giving it a soft texture.  The top fabric has a red felt bird stitched on, completed with a wing from black and white polka dot cotton fabric.  It measures 20”x24”. This is SUCH a cute blanket.

These blankets would also make great baby shower, welcome home from the hospital, or birthday presents.

Simply Adorable {BuddyTops Review}

kidpic Say “Hello” to the new cuddly buddies in town! A unique line of children’s hats, BuddyTops bring warmth and comfort to kids of all ages. Each buddy has a distinct personality and can’t wait to share stories and life lessons with new friends! BuddyTops are unique and distinct – it’s no wonder that EVERYONE KNOWS IT’S A BUDDYTOP!

dalmation2

Buddy tops sent my daughter the Dalmatian BuddyTop. One of her favorite movies is 101 Dalmatians, so it was surely going to be a fun Christmas surprise for her! So right! Her face just lit up when she opened it! {and of course requests for 101 Dalmatians soon followed! Ha!} She wore it all day long and even to a few of our family get togethers over the Christmas holiday! Everyone thought is was so cute and very much “Ava-esque!” The BuddyTop is super soft and really warm, so it’s perfect for these cold winter months! Keep in mind when you are ordering that the sizes are a bit off…my two year old wore a size large…there is a bit of growing room, but I’m glad that is the size we went with!

Check out all these adorable BuddyTop options! I absolutely love the Wolf BuddyTop…so cute! Such a fun way to stay warm!

Each component is carefully chosen with passion and care for its color, texture, durability and visual appeal. Swaddle Designs offers products in a multitude of patterns and colors to coordinate with any nursery or mom’s personal style and are so much fun to mix and match!

swaddle-logoI just can’t say enough wonderful things about the Swaddle Designs zzZipMe Sack. I can tell my son loves it because when he wears it he sleeps like a dream! It is so, so soft and you will seriously wish they made them to fit adults! No lie! It is meant to be used when your baby has graduated from swaddling and it is wonderful! The blanket material is super soft and a nice weight, you know your baby is cozy and warm all night long without the use of an extra blanket. The satin around the edges is so pretty and soft, as well. The zzZipMe Sack comes in several different weights, patterns, and colors to meet your own individual needs. My favorite feature of the zzZipMe Sack is the two way zipper. You can zip the sack open from the bottom or the top, making diaper changes a breeze in the middle of the night and still keeping your little one snug as a bug. SD-082PP%203-6%20m SwaddleDesigns zzZipMe Sacks have passed rigorous third party testing in the US and UK, and meet CPSIA requirements. Fuzzy Plush zzZipMe Sacks have a TOG rating of 2.2 which is perfect for year round use and the TOG rating recommended for temperatures of 65- 70 degrees F – the temperature range medical experts recommend for sleep environments. You know when your baby is in a zzZipMe Sack they are safe and I know that is the most important thing to all parents!

sdFuzzyLovie Another favorite of mine are the Baby Lovies, especially the “fuzzy” one! It is super soft and designed for tiny hands to explore! Pediatricians recommend giving children a security object around 6 months of age and I think these baby lovies are absolutely perfect!

Today, Swaddle Designs is giving away a zzZipMe Sack!

In your choice of size and the following colors: Pink, Blue or Kiwi in the Puff Circle (or Mod Circle) Collection.
