Baby Bond Giveaway! Ends 1/2 - Closed!

UPDATE: THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED! Winner Announced Soon!

Baby Bond has two functions. One, use over the shoulder and across the chest to shield the breast while you nurse.  Two, use around the waist like a belly band to shield your tummy while you nurse.
I found it easy to put on, but not so easy maneuvering to feed my baby. It worked well around the waist, but it's one size fits all made it a little long for my taste.  I felt like I was wearing a karate belt with one side dragging across my knee.

The band is very easy to put on. It took me a little while to get the hang of moving the material around without exposing myself to feed my son.

The packaging is nice. It has the instructions right on the box. Plus, when you take the product out of the box it has a "pocket" to wrap the band back up when not in use. I love this little added feature.

It looks nice wrapped around the shoulder, but around the waist just didn't seem nice to me with the extra bit hang down almost to my knee.

While it does do its job; I personally would just expose my breast in most cases. I would however recommend this product to someone that feels uncomfortable exposing themselves in public. It does a good job keeping "the girls" covered and the baby's face open to explore his surroundings. This is much better than covering the baby's head because you lose that one on one bonding you get from seeing baby's face.

Overall the product does what intends to do. The baby's face is not covered while the breast is. The hanging tail was a turn off for me, but the added "pocket" was a plus. This product would be great for someone that is a little uncomfortable feeding in public.

Naturepedic Crib Mattress Review

It worked great. My son is still in his bassinet but I did use it when my two nieces came over. I placed it in the floor for them to lay on.  My daughter wanted to lay on it as well. It held up great to them fighting over who got to sleep on it. As well as them jumping up and down on it multiple times.

It's a bed, there aren't many ways to use one and it's hard to get it wrong. 

It looks soft and comfortable.

It held up to the kids jumping on it. 

This mattress is much nicer than my daughter's $100 store brand that we bought 2 years ago. It's thicker and looks comfier. It's also Organic Cotton which I love. I really hate the plastic feeling thing my daughter sleeps on.


It's double the nice factor of my daughter's mattress and double the price, but I believe it's well worth it. In this case you do get what you pay for.


Great mattress, soft, comfy and organic. What more could you want in a mattress?

Bummas Review

They are the size of my hand, fingertip to almost my wrist {I have large hands for a woman}. They will work great to keep the pee showers at bay, but I'm a little concerned about the size when it comes to a poopy mess. Since they are made of terry this may not be a problem. They are packed nicely and looks kinda like a bouquet of bright cheery flowers. The bright colored trims a very nice to look at. These would look great in a baby shower bouquet or basket. The ones that I got to review are mostly white, so I'm a little concerned on how long they will stay white, but I'm not concerned on how long they will last. They are made out of a nice terry material that seems like it will hold up well in the wash. If you are cloth diapering, why not cloth wipe as well? These would go great in your routine. They would make a great baby shower gift for any mom cloth diapering or not. $16.99 for 10 wipes. I feel this is a great price for baby's comfort and less waste in a landfill. Bummas are super soft even the threading that trims them is super soft. They come in a great color arrangement. I really enjoy the bright colored trims. They would make great baby washcloths for bath time, cloth wipes, or pee shields. Bummas would be great for sensitive skin so your not adding all the chemicals you get from disposable wipes.
