Seventh Generation Free & Clear Diapers Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

I was recently introduced to Seventh Generation Free & Clear diapers!

 I was impressed with the overall product! They are very absorbent and not bulky at all; but most importantly they did not give my son a rash!

 These diapers do not have  added pigments, chlorine, fragrances, latex or petroleum based lotions which is a good thing because the less additives something has the better it is for my son.   Because Seventh Generation diapers don't have any of these components you get a simple beige colored diaper that is manufactured with the main focus of just helping keep a baby dry and help the environment.

The diapers have a nice elastic stretch in the back as well as to the sides where the tapes are, so my son seemed comfortable everytime he wore the diapers.  I know several other people who purchase Seventh Generation diapers for there children and are more than happy with them.

FACTS

• In an effort to contribute less overall landfill waste and continue to ensure a premium standard of absorbency, the new Free & Clear diapers have been redesigned with a lighter-weight core.
• With processed chlorine-free wood pulp in Free & Clear diapers, Seventh Generation also makes certain that no chlorine is released into the environment during the totally chlorine-free (TCF) whitening process of the diapers and training pants.
• Seventh Generation has also reduced the size of the diapers´ plastic packaging, meaning that each pack now contributes even less overall landfill waste than before.
• Seventh Generation Free & Clear diaper packaging can now be recycled at local supermarkets where plastic bag recycling collection boxes are available.

The Portable Pediatrician

The Portable Pediatrician: Everything You Need to Know About Your Child's Health

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although I'm not a doctor I most surely like to have a slight knowledge as to everything regarding my son's health.  I find that The Portable Pediatrician: Everything You Need to Know About Your Child's Health by William Sears, MD is a very useful book to have as a part of your library.

The last time we took our son to the pediatrician it turned out he had a yeast infection in his mouth.  Of course, I get so worried at the doctor's office that I sometimes forget to ask key questions in regard to what he has.  As soon as I got home, I looked up yeast infection in the book {p. 542-544}and felt a bit relieved knowing more about the situation.  The book was very helpful and easy to follow.  This book is definitely a keeper and a must have for all parents.

Have Your Kids Tried Peter Rabbit Organics New Flavors?

My son really enjoys his Peter Rabbit Organics Fruit Puree Pouches.  So I was thrilled when I was contacted to try out the new flavors!

Sweet Potato, Corn and ApplePea, Spinach and Apple
Carrot, Squash and Apple

 When I found out that the new puree pouches were fruit & veggie flavors I was even more excited!

My son totally refuses to eat vegetables, regardless of what shape, form or flavor I present them to him.  When he was an infant he would eat anything, but ever since he discovered how to close his mouth tight, turn his face away and say "no, no" he has become a bit picky when it comes to meal time.  Of course, I'm always looking for new ways to sneak veggies in his diet without him noticing it.

As you can see my son loves Peter Rabbit Organics new fruit & veggie purees!  I'm a happy mom because I know my son is getting the nutrition, vitamins and veggies that he needs.  My son feels like a big boy because he can feed himself- he'll be 2 soon. When you try the purees you can barely notice the veggie flavor because the fruit masks it.  These fruit & veggie purees contain 100% organic fruit and veggies,  no added sugar or anything artificial.  They don't require refrigeration, so you can take them with you anywhere and if you want later on pop them in the fridge. 

Where to buy!

You can find Peter Rabbit Organics products at certain Starbucks, Babies R' Us and Amazon.

Giveaway: Intelligender & Intelliceuticals {CLOSED}

The great people over at Intelligender have been so kind as to offer an awesome giveaway to one (1) lucky expecting mommy or anyone else who knows someone who is pregnant!

First thing is first...what is Intelligender?
Intelligender was founded in the year 2006 by two (2) moms who were curious to know as to how to find out the gender of babies as early as possible, without the need of an ultrasound.  After having teamed up with a team of experts they were able to form an organization to research the development of an inexpensive, in home gender prediction test.


In second place...what is Intelliceuticals?

Intelliceuticals is an Intelligender brand that offers health and natural remedies to prep mommies for the arrival of the baby as well as products for after the baby is born!

What's up for grabs?
 

• IntelliGender’s Gender Prediction Test™ is an affordable, simple-to-use urine test that provides immediate gender results in the privacy and comfort of the home. In minutes, the IntelliGender Gender Prediction Test indicates your gender result based upon an easy to read color match.  Green indicates boy and orange indicates girl! 

I wish I had known about this product when I was pregnant, perhaps that way I would've been able to find out the sex of my baby earlier on during my pregnancy!  The Intelligender's Gender Prediction Test allows you to find out the sex of your baby as early as ten (10) weeks into your pregnancy!

• IntelliCeutical’s Nature’s Nipple Prep is a soothing cream intended to help maintain healthy skin tone around the nipple both prior to birth and once you begin nursing.   

• Benefits:

• Provides consistent moisture around the nipple area
• Soothes the area immediately after nursing
• Helps to sustain a relaxed breastfeeding experience

I haven't personally tried this product, but I can tell you that breastfeeding during the initial stages can be a bit painful because the baby has to learn how to latch on correctly and the skin on the nipple needs to get used to it.  I love the fact that this cream will help to try to prevent the cracking and soreness of the skin. ICreams of this nature really do help with the breastfeeding experience because if you don't feel at ease then the baby won't be at ease. 

Buy It!

• IntelliGender’s Gender Prediction Test™  is available at Walgreens, CVS, Target & Rite Aid for only $34.95!
•  Order the IntelliCeutical's Nature's Nipple Prep online for only $19.99!

25% Discount Code

•  The awesome people over at IntelliGender are offering a special 25% discount coupon code for you to use at the website to purchase any of their IntelliCeutical products!

• Just enter code: IC025 at checkout.

GIVEAWAY: The always generous people over at IntelliGender are sponsoring a giveaway to one of my U.S. readers. 

What you will win:

• 1 IntelliGender Gender Prediction Test
• 1 IntelliCeuticals Nature's Nipple Prep

What a great prize if you're pregnant, know someone who is pregnant or if you are planning on getting pregnant!

{CLOSED} Bummas (The Tropical Ones) Cloths: Review & Giveaway

After the wipe and before the dipe.  Use a soft kiss of cloth to dry bums off.  Keep diaper rash at bay the Bummas way!

I'm the proud mother of a 19 month old boy and I am always on the lookout for quality products that will aid in the day-to-day activities with my boy.  I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to try out Bummas (The Tropical Ones).

Bummas cloths come in a 10-pack and are made of a very soft terry cloth material.  I find myself using Bummas everyday whenever I change my son's diaper.  After I clean up my son with baby wet wipes, I take a Bummas to dry him off and then I put on the diaper.  My son seems to like the cloths because he normally gets very jumpy when I wipe him, but doesn't get jumpy with the Bummas.  I'd say, baby E is a happy customer.  Another thing I like is the size because it covers my son's bum area perfectly.  In my case, Bummas is also ideal to cover my son  in case he pees while I change his diaper-although it's been a while since he has done this. I always have one with with E's diaper changing stash in the living room and another one in the diaper bag. Most of the cloths are all white with a fun colored trimming and ideal for both boys and girls.  Bummas can be thrown in the wash without having to worry that the quality will diminish.

Product Features:

• Eliminates the use of talcum powder.
• 100% Cotton-Woven Velour Terry Cloth.
• Variety of color combinations to match your nursery themes.
• Handy 5"x7" size.
• Durable.  Just throw them in the washing machine and use them again.
• Won't pill, shrink or fade.
• They will last until your little one is out of diapers and beyond.
