Nap Nanny for Babies with Reflux

The Nap Nanny has been such a relief for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law. Their preemie daughter has Reflux and they are finally getting more than a couple hours of sleep because of the Nap Nanny!

The Nap Nanny was designed by a mother to improve infant sleep. Parents often use a wedge to elevate their baby in an effort to get them to sleep but babies often roll off the wedge. The Nap Nanny cradles the baby more like a car seat and keeps baby at an angle, necessary for those who have Reflux.

Our daughter also had Reflux and spent most of her napping time in the bouncer. I would have liked to have the Nap Nanny so that she could have slept soundly in her crib. I can attest to the wedge not working for us. I returned it after the second time she had scooted down it and was laying flat.

I'm glad someone thought of it and it is helping my niece (and brother-in-law and sister-in-law) much needed sleep!

The Ergo Baby Carrier

Shortly after my daughter was born, I started to see these ERGObaby Carriers around. I must say, I wanted one instead of my Baby Bjorn! Although, I've gotten a bit of use out of my Baby Bjorn, my daughter already seems to have outgrown it before it's 26 lb weight limit.

The ERGObaby Carrier can be worn on the front, hip and back for the different stages of your baby's growth. The ERGObaby carrier states it's ergonomic design supports a correct sitting position for the baby's hip, pelvis and spine growth. It disperses most of the baby's weight between the hips and thighs, which helps to eliminate compression of the spine when hanging by the crotch, that most other designs require. The ERGObaby also balances the baby's weight to parents' hips and shoulders, and alleviates physical stress for the parent.

The ERGObaby Carrier recommends a weight limit of 40 pounds for its carrier; however, the carrier has been tested up to 90 pounds.

Double Reversible Bibs from Bebe au Lait

Bebe au Lait introduced Double Reversible Bibs for busy parents on the go. It has 4 sides of use to get the maximum use for several feedings. Let's face it...I do enough baby laundry, so anything to reduce that, would be awesome! They have 10 different styles to match your Nursing Cover or other Bebe au Lait items you may have!

Travel Placemat for Baby

Now that my daughter has started eating solids, I've found quite a few things that are helpful. This Tiny Dinner Mat from Kiddopotamus is great! I bought one from a recommendation of a friend. It has suction cups to stick to the table and cleans very easily. Lay it down on a restaurant table so that your baby's hands don't touch the dirty table and just roll it up when you are finished.

Comes in blue, pink, yellow and green. I bought mine at Babies R Us, but you can find other stores that carry it here.

Iron-On Clothing Name Tags

In preparing for my daughter to start daycare next week, I've had a long list of what to label and bring in. I tried a Sharpie and a fabric pen on some of her pants and onesies. Both have made her name look like a big blob.

I just received our latest Parents magazine and saw an ad for Stuck on You labels. You can buy Iron-On Labels or Permanent Iron-On Transfers. I just ordered some so I don't ruin the rest of her clothes with a big black blob.

Make Healthy Homemade Baby Food

Beaba Babycook allows parents to make homemade baby food quickly and easily and gives you complete control over the freshness and quality of ingredients. The French baby-food maker created Babycook that multitasks as a steamer, blender, warmer, and defroster by steaming vegetables, fruits, meat and fish in less than 15 minutes, preserving their vitamins and flavors, then pureeing them to your desired consistency. You can also use it to quickly reheat or defrost prepared baby food.

It comes with a 2 1/2 cup plastic bowl, cooking basket, spatula and recipe booklet. The bowl and basket are dishwasher safe. It is sold exclusively in the United States by Williams-Sonoma.

I totally want one of these! Saves time, dishes and makes healthy baby food!

UPDATE: I've read that the plastic bowl is not BPA Free.
