Mom and Baby Naturally is proud to be a retailer for <a href="http://www.momandbabynaturally.com/category_182/Breast-Pumps-Accessories.htm">Hygeia breast pumps and accessories</a>.<br />
<br />
Hygeia's pumps are truly multi-user, when each mom has her own <a href="http://www.momandbabynaturally.com/item_812/Hygeia-EnJoyeBRPersonal-Accessory-Set.htm">personal accessory set</a>. All Hygeia pumps feature a unique filter that blogs bacteria, viruses and fluids from entering the pump and causing cross-contamination.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.momandbabynaturally.com/item_815/Hygeia-EnHande-One-Hand-Manual-Breast-Pump.htm" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hygeia One-Hand Manual Breast Pump" border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCvmPLYTeFmlJHI3G4Fmqs8trZmIQ9-h6stpDo76OTh4zjPRCupLF6_uKbKrxzDTAYmbD_ZFAhYCPwzw81kxN8O2U8_KBJFQoZMV-GHAfaqXwEF-fkbvBRBaN1xDEOZVA_uY1j6KaIBS_x/s200/3k-Hygeia_109-OneHandManualPump.jpg" title="Hygeia One-Hand Manual Breast Pump" width="200" /></a>Hygeia’s motto is No Pumps in Dumps™, and they are committed to keeping breast pumps out of landfills. When you no longer need your pump, just send it back to Hygeia to be recycled. (See the recycling instructions included with your pump.)<br />
<br />
All of Hygeia's electric pumps come with a three year warranty, one of the longest for any personal-use breast pump on the market.<br />
<br />
And Hygeia is one of the very breast pump companies that is compliant with the World Health Organization Code on the marketing of breastmilk substitutes (WHO Code).<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.momandbabynaturally.com/item_817/Hygeia-Hand-Expression-Cup.htm" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Hygeia Breastmilk Hand Expression Cup" border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghSomwrYCswa9dhGsCvV95xAXbJJB1QsAhJK8OTQrKEBbhOIykpGw7aHIQtZ-3G9U72JyaOyRkjMzGtvMthJl1gnizWBwdT-oNhkb3LL7UimOyJ79zhc2QehWzLe2JAi1uMRSgJlpXQrkU/s200/3k-Hygeia_321-ExpressionCupSet.jpg" title="Hygeia Breastmilk Hand Expression Cup" width="200" /></a>In addition to electric breast pumps designed for frequent use, Hygeia also offers <a href="http://www.momandbabynaturally.com/item_815/Hygeia-EnHande-One-Hand-Manual-Breast-Pump.htm">one-handed</a> and <a href="http://www.momandbabynaturally.com/item_816/Hygeia-Two-Hand-Manual-Breast-Pump.htm">two-handed</a> manual pumps, and a <a href="http://www.momandbabynaturally.com/item_817/Hygeia-Hand-Expression-Cup.htm">hand expression cup</a>.<br />
<br />
I've used the hand expression cup myself, and it works much better than expressing into a regular pump flange and bottle, because the shape reduces the chance of spillage.<br />
<br />
(And any mom who's ever pumped know that spilt milk <i>certainly is</i> worth crying over!)<br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">In a redesigned carrier with some exciting new features we present the Connecta Integra. This new design retains all of the comfort, safety and security of the original design with a few changes. The Connecta Integra is slightly lighter weight than the original, packs smaller, and is cooler in summer.</span>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;">It features a integrated sleeping hood that is a seamless addition to the top of the carrier. It also has the clever ability to tuck right away inside the carrier, which also creates a handy pocket for soft small items when the hood is not in use. You simply separate the front and back layers of the carrier and tuck the hood away inside!</span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Many moms also do their night time nursing in a location or position that's not conducive to safe or comfortable sleep, and worry about dozing off with the baby. </span><br />
<br />
M<span style="font-family: inherit;">y daughter Ellie has been in the family bed from birth, but it was several months before we perfected the side-lying position, and before she could latch without seeing what she was doing. </span><br />
<br />
S<span style="font-family: inherit;">o, we slept with way too many lights on, and I usually spent a few hours each night dozing while sitting up with her on the Boppy. (Not a very safe cosleeping arrangement!) </span><br />
<br />
T<span style="font-family: inherit;">he </span><a href="http://www.momandbabynaturally.com/item_795/Nighty-Night-Nursing-Light.htm"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Nighty-Night Nursing Light</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> solves both of these problems. This small night light clips onto mom's pajamas, and not only provides a soft glow right where it's needed, but it even includes a vibrating alarm, to wake mom (but not baby!) and remind her to move back to a more safe or comfortable location when the baby is done nursing. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Boy, I sure could have used this products a couple of years ago!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When Ellie was two months old (and had only been nursing for about three weeks, which is a whole other story) we visited my family for Christmas. The only night light available for our bedroom was a motion-sensitive one, which was plugged in right beside the bed. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When she was nursing on my right side, I could wave my left arm to turn the light on, but when she nursed on the left, I had to flap my leg around off the side of the bed, until I activated it!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My partner found my acrobatics pretty entertaining, but Ellie and I would've been much happier if we'd had a </span><a href="http://www.momandbabynaturally.com/item_795/Nighty-Night-Nursing-Light.htm"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Nighty-Night Nursing Light</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">!</span></div>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02618059682047046309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550879818821469673.post-28597325960798670342011-02-14T00:07:00.009-05:002012-07-08T22:21:06.888-04:00New bumGenius 4.0 Diapers in Stock<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiFmCIIVg1LtcaKgvVIrca2ZLFUdTOSLh-JHAjSjBEoqvbbtHo_O-ZEsKhtJPe5CoJG2Q97qiMA0b2xGhl-r9J1naYflT5IHepQB1X6_2dQ_j7HVaCJogxGYA_c4elyQjGFAnLpDKBwYB0/s1600/NewColors216x130.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" h5="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiFmCIIVg1LtcaKgvVIrca2ZLFUdTOSLh-JHAjSjBEoqvbbtHo_O-ZEsKhtJPe5CoJG2Q97qiMA0b2xGhl-r9J1naYflT5IHepQB1X6_2dQ_j7HVaCJogxGYA_c4elyQjGFAnLpDKBwYB0/s1600/NewColors216x130.gif" /></a></div>Mom and Baby Naturally just received a shipment of the new <a href="http://www.momandbabynaturally.com/category_115/NEW-bumGenius-4.0-One-Size-Pocket-Diaper-Snap-Closure.htm">bumGenius 4.0 One-Size diapers with snap closures</a>, in all of the solid colors - including the brights, which have been unavailable for a while, and three brand new colors - Bubble, Sweet and Noodle!<br />

</ol>My Ellie is wearing two-year-old bumGenius 3.0s, which have been well-loved, and every time I see the nice, neat, stacks of shiny, new 4.0s in my store room, I have to remind myself that I've bought them for <em>your</em> babies, and not for her!<br />
<br />
Of course, I did just fill a big order for a baby boy, so I am a little long on the "girly" colors, and she does wear a lot of purple, so maybe just one Bubble . . . .Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02618059682047046309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550879818821469673.post-23845374573095649262011-02-12T19:10:00.002-05:002011-03-03T16:57:44.096-05:00We Still Got It!While demonstrating some carriers last night, I grabbed my <a href="http://www.momandbabynaturally.com/category_117/Wrapsody-Gypsy-Mama.htm">Wrapsody Bali Stretch</a> and showed the customers how to tie it, and then put Ellie in just for old times sake. <br />

We got this wrap when Ellie was about six weeks old, and weighed a little over six pounds. Here she is the first time I wore her in it. (Note - She's not in the safest position here. She should be more upright and less "folded up.")<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>She's now twenty-seven-and-a-half months old and probably about twenty-five pounds. How's that for versatile?!<br />
<br />
She was just-up-from-a-nap sleepy at the time, so she lay her head on my shoulder and cuddled while I was talking with the customers. <br />

I love the <a href="http://www.momandbabynaturally.com/category_114/Connecta-Buckle-Carriers.htm">Connecta</a> that we use these days, but it was so nice having her back in the wrap that we wore her in when she was brand new!Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02618059682047046309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550879818821469673.post-37576581862257586872010-12-14T18:53:00.002-05:002010-12-15T17:42:18.592-05:00We Have a Winner!Shana is the winner of the nursing necklace!<br />

<br />
That's been resolved, and I've actually moved the blog from Word Press to Blogger, because I'm more familiar with it. I lost the old comments, but I think I got all of Kara's archived posts migrated without a problem. <br />
<br />
It should all be working smoothly now, but if you see anything strange, please let me know. <br />

We’ve been working hard to add several exciting new products to the site, with more to come over the next few weeks and months.<br />
<br />
To celebrate our Grand Reopening, we’re giving away a beautiful nursing necklace in the color of your choice. I’ll be posting all the details about that very soon.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I want to take a moment to tell you a bit about myself.<br />
<br />
Before the birth of my daughter Ellie in October 2008, I had a varied career, which included stints as a middle school teacher, summer camp director, website and database developer, political coordinator, and learning center director.<br />
<br />
Since then, I’ve been a stay-at-home mom, which has been both more challenging and more rewarding than any position I’ve held before.<br />
<br />
I met Kara, one of the founders of Mom and Baby Naturally, during my pregnancy, when my partner Kristi and I hired her as our doula. She helped us to have the natural birth that we’d hoped for, gave us invaluable breastfeeding support during Ellie’s early weeks, and introduced us to the joys of cloth diapering and babywearing.<br />
<br />
When I learned that Kara and her mom were planning to close the store, I jumped at the opportunity to help others to access the same great products that we have used, while continuing to be at home full time with my daughter.<br />
<br />
I’m look forward to serving you and your family.<br />
<br />

The weather is finally warming up and thoughts are turning to Summer.<br />
Carrying a baby can be hot work in the heat, and we have the ideal solution!</div><div class="storycontent" style="text-align: left;">The Solarweave Connecta is possibly the lightest, coolest carrier on the<br />
market. Made from Solarweave fabric, which is incredibly strong and tightly<br />
woven, whilst still being lightweight, it also protects baby from UV<br />
radiation from the sun.</div><div class="storycontent" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="storycontent" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 24pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"><img align="baseline" alt="" border="0" src="http://www.connectababycarrier.com/images/DSC0676.jpg" /></span></div><div class="storycontent" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="storycontent" style="text-align: left;">The fabric has been tested by an independant laboratory and shown to provide SPF30+/UPF 40+ protection even after 40 launderings (equivalent to 2 years of wear and tear), and 100 hours of accelerated ultraviolet<br />
exposure.</div><div class="storycontent" style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="storycontent" style="text-align: left;">The fabric is 100% non-irritating, even to sensitive skin.</div><div class="storycontent" style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="storycontent" style="text-align: left;">Made to our winning Connecta Baby Carrier design, with the addition of the<br />
integrated sun/sleep hood, the Solarweave Connecta provides all of the<br />
comfort in wearing you would expect. Featuring a wide seat to keep baby in<br />
the anatomically correct seated position, well padded shoulder straps and<br />
comfortable wide webbing. Yet it folds up amazingly small, perfect for<br />
packing in holiday suitcases!</div><div class="storycontent" style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="storycontent" style="text-align: left;">In addition to the sun protection, solarweave fabric is also extremely quick<br />
drying, and the Solarweave Connecta can be worn in the water at the beach or<br />
pool, and also in the shower. (Not for use whilst swimming.)</div><div class="storycontent" style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="storycontent" style="text-align: left;">This year the Solarweave Connecta is available in four different colourways.<br />
Blackberry, Khaki, Scarlet Red and Pale Blue.

</div>We added the bumGenius line to our store. The first ones we got in stock were the 3.0 One Size Pocket Diaper. We wanted to see what our customers thought of them before adding more of their items. Well, these diapers deserve the awesome reviews they get!! They are fabulous! Nice trim fit on small babies as well as toddlers, great absorbancy and easy to care for. With a one size, you can’t beat the economical aspect…and our customers agree! If you haven’t tried them, you should:)<br />

They save you MONEY!! Estimated saving for using cloth diapers varies depending on the where you gather up your numbers, but an easy way to calculate the savings that you could expect to see is by using the savings calculator at the Diaper Pin. It is amazing to see how quickly cloth diapers will pay for themselves…regardless of if you choose economic prefolds and covers or a more upscale pocket or all in one diaper system…<br />
<br />
2. They are soooo much easier on the environment than disposables! For each baby diapered with cloth diapers, you will be saving 4,000-6,000 diapers from going to the landfill…accumulating in landfills at the rate of 3.4 million tons per year. These mounds of soiled diapers (Do you know you are actually supposed to flush the poop off of a disposable before you toss it in the trash can!?!?) are not able to break down well in airtight landfills…This process could actually take several hundred years!!! Disposable diapers accounted for 2.1% of the garbage in landfills in 1998, the last year that this information was collected. <br />
<br />
3. The chemicals in disposable diapers…Dioxin, Tolune, xylene, ethylbenzene, styrene, isopropylbenzene, sodium polyacrylate…Sounds like stuff I don’t want near my babies!! There are questions about the safety of these chemicals…<br />
<br />
4. Using cloth allows you to choose from organically grown, and sustainable textiles. Cotton is one of the world’s most widely known crops, but it is also popularly known for it’s pesticide use. When you choose to purchase organic cotton (or organic bamboo or hemp) you are choosing to support the harvesting of chemical free crops.<br />
<br />
5. One of the best feelings I get about using cloth is knowing I will not have to run to the grocery store to get diapers. We used disposable diapers with our first 2 children, and it seems like I was always needing to call my husband, mother in law, or neighbor to pick up a pack of diapers for me…I love the freedom of knowing that as long as I have water at my house, I can have clean diapers. <br />
<br />
6. Disposable diapers do not allow the skin to breathe…In May 2000, the Archives of Disease in Childhood published research showing that scrotal temperature is increased in boys wearing disposable diapers, and that prolonged use of disposable diapers will blunt or completely abolish the physiological testicular cooling mechanism important for normal spermatogenesis. <br />
<br />
7. Cloth diapered babies tend to learn to use the potty earlier than babies who wear disposables. For the most part, babies who are wearing disposables do not feel wet when they pee, due to the reaction of the chemicals in the diaper. Cloth diapered babies actually get the opportunity to feel wet when they have peed, so they usually will want to learn to go to the potty sooner.<br />
<br />
8. Cloth Diapers can be used for such a long time. A good quality cloth diaper is made to stand the test of time, and can easily be used for multiple childern. After your children are finished using them, their legacy lives on…they are the best cleaning cloths available! They are perfect for cleaning around the house and for cleaning cars…A disposable simply gets thrown away…<br />
<br />
9. Cloth diapers are CUTE!!! There are such a wide variety of diapers on the market today, that getting the perfect fit is only a portion of the shopping equation…you get to select from some amazing fabrics (cotton, bamboo, hemp, velour, minkee…) as well as a HUGE selection of colors and prints. I don’t know where you will find any diaposable diaper that holds a candle to how cute cloth diapers are. <br />
<br />
10. No one wants to wear paper underwear…Imagine the feeling you have when you are at the doctor’s office and they ask you to slip into their little paper gown and sit on their paper covered table…Not the best feeling, huh. Wouldn’t it be great if you could say, “no thanks…I’m going to slip into my cotton velour gown and sit on my minkee blanket”…Seems a little bit more comfortable… I think babies should be as comfortable as we are…<em>so we should stop dressing them in paper. </em>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550879818821469673.post-8502011177899520772008-11-20T15:23:00.000-05:002012-07-08T22:21:06.912-04:00We LOVE Special Beginnings Birth Center!We had such a lovely time at the <a href="http://www.specialbeginnings.com/"><span style="color: #667755;">Special Beginnings Birth Center</span></a> this weekend! We got the opportinity to meet many new and expecting parents, and were able to show them the different kinds of cloth diapers and baby carriers that we had available.<br />
<br />
It was awesome to see nearly every mom (and lots of dads, too) wearing their baby, many who already used cloth diapers or were interested in learning more about them…Lots of breastfeeding mommies (I laughed because beside the La Leche League booth there was a chair, and every 15 minutes a mom would sit and take her turn in the breastfeeding chair. :-) )<br />
<br />
Along with meeting some awesome mommies, daddies, and babies… we got a tour of the birth center and met with one of the lactation consultants that works there…I was very impressed with how family friendly the birth center is, and it is a beautiful facility. They had 3 great birthing rooms, each with a birthing tub (2 whirlpool tubs and 1 inflatable tub). The lactation consultant (who is also a nurse) said that most of the births tend to be waterbirths! Each room was really nicely decorated, and would certainly feel like a welcoming environment to any family. They had a great ‘waiting’ area, perfect for those wanting to have their family with them for their special event…there was plenty of space for other childern, as well…with lots of toys:) There was also a full kitchen that is available to bring your food and really make yourself feel at home during your stay.<br />
<br />
I’m not sure who all was working that day, but I was so very impressed when I walked by the front desk and heard some gentleman say ‘Well, it looks like things are starting to go well…the baby is latching on really well…’ I’m not sure what his position is there, but I was happy to hear excitement in his voice about this little baby learning to breastfeed!<br />
<br />
It sure does seem like a great place to have a baby, and if you are anywhere close, I would encourage you to take a trip there and have a walk through of their place…<br />
<br />
