RECOMMENDATION #1
Wav Hello Sound Bub-
Ollie The Owl Portable White Noise Machine, Bluetooth Speaker

PARENT TESTED PARENT APPROVED WINNER

The SoundBub by WavHello is one of my favorite products by far! We use it everyday to soothe Banx to sleep. We play the white noise all night and if it's fully charged it will last the entire night without the battery dying. I love how compact and soft it is. It makes on-the-go ultra easy. And Ollie actually acts as a bluetooth speaker, so I can play any music for a little interactive playtime with B- it's incredibly useful. I literally take little Ollie the owl everywhere we go, and I'm thinking about getting one more to keep in the car so I don't forget him! I don't particularly like using my phone for white noise unless it's for emergencies (AKA a screaming baby). Keep the phone a good distance from baby is a good idea due to radiation. CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT WHY.
Some of the best features include:

Plays white noise
Clips to stroller, carseat, and crib
Has 30.60.an 90 min timers OR continuous play
BLuetooth capability- plays musics, etc.
Records voice messages, lullabies, and stories. Download Voice Share Mobile App for FREE

Number 5 is by far the most unique and fun feature because it allows anyone, say grandma and grandpa, to download Voice Share on their phone and record a little message or song so baby can listen and recognize their voice at ANYTIME. I just LOVE this!

CHOOSE FROM TWO OTHER SOUNDBUBS:
Bella The Bunny and Benji The Bear

RECOMMENDATION #2
Goumi Scratch Free Baby Mittens

I don't know about you, but I gave birth to Edward Scissor Hands! Without these little mittens, Banx would scratch the heck out of his face when he was 0-3 months. We tried various mittens, but these were the best by far because they actually stayed on!
Some of the best features include:

Soft and Safe Fabric- Machine-washable, 70% bamboo/30% organic cotton blend is breathable, naturally antimicrobial and environmentally sustainable
Adjustable velcro straps- for easy application
Breathable- Allows enough room for baby to stretch his fingers- Most mitts I tried confined his little hands or were very difficult to get on him.
Functional Design and Pretty- you just can't go wrong

Goumi Kids was created by two rockstar moms. They are making life much easier for new moms as well as well as helping to support communities around the globe by donating 10% of their sales to families in need. I think I want to be their friends. : ) Now go get yourself these amazing little mitts and check out the rest of their wonderful products at goumikids.com. You won't regret it. ; )

RECOMMENDATION #3
Kindred Bravely- Sleep/Nursing Bras
2017 Eco Excellence Award Winner

I'm completely in love with my Kindred Bravely Organic Cotton Nursing and Sleep Bra. If you know me, I'm a huge proponent of anything organic- especially when it comes to sleepwear since we spend much of our time sleeping and with chemicals, or not, from clothing directly on our skin. Baby benefits from this, too! The crossover keeps my large and in charge boobs separated when I sleep and makes for easy middle of the night feedings with a simple and easy pull to the side movement.
Some of the best features include:

Comes in six pretty organic colors
Made For Comfort- has no underwire
Functional- can be used for sleeping support, pregnancy, nursing, post surgery, yoga- you name it.
Beautiful Design- I feel sexy in it and provides enough support without being tight while I sleep
Ultra Soft and Stretchy Organic Fabric- even my husband loves it! (90% Organic Cotton, 10% Spandex).

I highly recommend this bra, mamas!! And I want it in every color. GAH!

RECOMMENDATION #4
Diaper Dabbler- Diaper Variety Packs
#TryAllTheDiapers

I'm often asked my opinion and recommendation for diapers. I just love the idea that I can now recommend Diaper Dabbler to parents who are searching for the right diapers! They even have my favorite biodegradable diapers, Eco By Naty! Click HERE for Diaper Dappler's list of "Diaper Brand Research and Information."

With over 20 brands of diapers to choose from, Diaper Dabbler makes it easy to sample a handful of diapers before buying a whole pack. It's a great way to save money because you really don't know what is going to work for YOUR baby. I feel, with most things, it is a total preference, no matter how many reviews you read. They are packaged in 3-diaper packs and make it super convenient to choose the RIGHT DIAPER.

Aleva Naturals Baby Wipes. Yes, it's true- I'm a baby product snob. Well, product snob in general. I am very particular with what I use on my baby's skin. Aleva Naturals wipes are just that- particular! A sample set came with the diapers. These bamboo baby wipes are legit and COMPLETELY FREE of the following:
1. Phenoxyethanol
2. Parabens
3. Sulfates
4. Chlorine
They contain natural and organic oils. Plus, they are biodegradable in TEN DAYS! You gotta love that!!

They even make it simple for you to start your diaper journey. They offer 3 different variety packs at 3 different price points- the Mega Mom, the Newborn Babe, and the Prepared Parent. And for a 4th option, you can customize your diaper pack. Winning! And just think how happy your baby will be when you find the perfect diaper and without breaking the bank. Mama and daddy like!

RECOMMENDATION #5
Hospital Go-Bag Essentials by Basq NYC

Mama deserves to be pampered! This little kit by Basq NYC is the perfect travel size for all the goodies you need for your hospital stay when you have baby or for a much needed "mom timeout" to pamper oneself. If you don't get around to using it while in the hospital, you can indulge yourself anytime! The Cooling Body Mist is the perfect travel pick me up and one of my favorite products.

Stretch Marks Got You Down?

Basq NYC has the perfect Stretch Mark Butter. And if you are looking to prevent them, try their 9 Month Stretch Essentials Kit for your pregnancy or that of a friend. : )

Free From Parabens, Phthalates, Mineral Oils, Sulfates and Artificial Colors. Allergy and Irritant Free.

BABY PRODUCT/GIFT RECOMMENDATION #6
Milkies Milk Saver- Save Your Liquid Gold

TOP Choice Award 2016
2015 Creative Child Awards
To name a few...

Well isn't this just the strangest/coolest invention ever?! If you're anything like me, you highly dislike wasting your precious milk. Milkies Milk Saver saves your milk while you are nursing/pumping the other side. It is a simple design that easily can go with you anywhere. Instead of leaking through your shirt or soaking thru your nursing pads, the Milkies Milk Saver "saves" your precious milk. It may seem a little ridiculous and you're probably wondering the same thing I was..."It can't be THAT useful. Well, when I gave it a whirl, I realized just HOW MUCH milk was actually being saved! Now that's worth it right there! The patented container can hold up to 2 ounces of milk and the protective lid prevents the milk from spilling.

This product contains absolutely no BPA or Phthalates.

Thank you to Gugu Guru for making it easy to find products I love that are customized specifically to me.

I hope you guys found this helpful in your decision making either for yourself or for a new mama you get to spoil. : )

Lots of Love,

Cate
