CozyMe Nursing, Tummy Time, and Sitting Pillow

Age 0-1 year, Breastfeeding, New posts, ,

The award winning CozyMe Pillow stands out from other nursing pillows because of the many ways it can be configured. It’s an all-in-one nursing pillow, a tummy time pillow, and a baby sitting pillow. The CozyMe pillow has a wedge that can be placed on the inner part of the pillow allowing your baby to sit up and drink her bottle instead of having to lay down completely.

The different configurations and accessories (a wedge and a propup) allow nursing mothers to be comfortable, and help babies develop their arms, stomach, upper and lower back muscles.

CozyMe Pillow is great for:

  • nursing babies with reflux (wedge allows baby to be propped high)
  • babies learning to sit
  • moms larger than size 6 (CozyMe doesn’t have to wrap around you while nursing)
  • tummy time

CozyMe is available in several colors and patterns and you can even buy an extra cover, which is a must have!

Thudguard infant protective safety hat

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, New posts, Safety, , , , , , ,

Thudguard Here is something you don't see or hear about everyday but can save you a lot of heartache.
Thudguard is a light foam crash helmet for toddlers designed to help absorb and reduce the impact of head injuries due to a
fall or collision. It is suitable for babies and toddlers aged 7 months
to 2+ years.

I can't tell you how many times Madelyn fell when learning to walk at 10 months.  We spend most of our time in our kitchen which has hardwood floors and unfortunately, that is where she fell most.  Madelyn walked right into cabinets, chairs, and the refrigerator because she wasn't looking where she was going. To this day she still walks into things but because she has a big head and is over 2 she can't wear the safety helmet.  Madelyn just doesn't look where she's going!

Read some expert opinions about Thudguard and head injuries here on the Thudguard website.

Kelly Forsyth-Gibson, a mom of 3 lives in the Scottish city of Aberdeen and invented Thudguard after her 1 year old who was learning to walk fell and bumped her head.

Thudguard is available in
lilac or baby blue and can be purchased for about $38.  Think about it, isn't $40 a great price to pay rather than having to take your toddler to the emergancy room after a fall?

Fisher Price Zen Collection Swing

Age 0-1 year, Bedtime, Nursery & Room Decor

Fisher Price's Zen Collection combines style and function with beautiful wood accents and a plush reclining seat that swings back and forth and side to side.  Younger babies prefer to rock side to side but I imagine that older babies might bet a little 'sea-sick' swinging side to side so bath and forth seems more comfortable for them.

The Zen Collection swing is sturdy and has exceptional features.  Most of our rooms are full or dark wood furniture so I would have loved to have the Zen swing instead of the bright colored swing with a metal base, that we had for Madelyn two years ago.  She loved sitting in her swing.   The Zen swing has a variety of gentle songs and musical styles that will stimulate baby’s auditory sense or instantly calm her down. 
The entire seat is removable so you can carry it from room to room and the fabric is machine washable.  The Zen swing is the first (that I know of) to have a plug-in option which is a huge money saver!

The maximum weight is 25lbs which equates to an average of two years old.  I doubt a two year old will sit in a swing very long, or at all, but the possibility is there.  

Price: around $200
