WaterWipes Review

            Hey folks! Have you ever heard of WaterWipes? If not, you're about to find out all about them!
            WaterWipes are part of the Irish Breeze Ltd. company, which, as I'm sure you can guess, are based out of Ireland. They provide "The World's Purest Wet Wipe", according to their site, including sensitive makeup removal wipes and natural baby wipes. As I'm sure you can guess, we were fortunate to try out the baby WaterWipes.
            I liked everything about these wipes, so I'm not sure where to begin. Perhaps my favorite thing is that there have literally TWO ingredients in them: purified water and grapefruit seed extract. That's it! We found out quickly after Myka was born that her little bum was pretty sensitive to regular store bought wipes...Yes, even the "sensitive" and "natural" ones. We ended up making our own wipes from paper towels, baby oil, and a few other ingredients for awhile, but eventually switched to cloth wipes (aka baby wash rags) to save even more money.

            Cloth wipes are cool and all and nothing beats how clean they can get your baby's bum, but let's face it: They're not exactly convenient if you're out and about or if you have to take your baby to childcare...especially if he or she happens to go #2. That was another reason I was excited to try these wipes out. I was always scared to death of Myka going #2 while out running errands and the shenanigans that would ensue using cloth wipes. Suffice it to say, my mom and aunt were also happy to use these when babysitting for the convenience factor.
            Since there are no nasty chemicals in WaterWipes, these have come in handy for messy hands and faces too. We all know toddlers are messy eaters, so these especially come in handy for when we're out and about too. I like to use them on Myka's hands no matter where we are since she's not tall enough to reach the sink yet and we don't have a stool for her to stand on either to wash her hands.
            That reminds me, I'm all about teaching kids autonomy. Myka has enjoyed me giving her a wipe after she eats to wipe her face or hands off with or clean her tray off if it's really messy. She actually does a really good job cleaning it off with just one wipe most of the time!

            So, how do they perform compared to other wipes? Just as you would expect. They don't tear easily like some and they do "get the job done" well. I'm not sure if you're supposed to or not, but I do flush ours sometimes. (Probably not a great idea if you have a septic system.)
            Needless to say, I have really enjoyed the convenience of being able to use baby wipes and not worrying about harsh chemicals on my child's skin and causing rashes or chemical burns. (In case you're curious, here is what is in most baby wipes.) You can find WaterWipes on Target, Walgreens, Amazon, and more websites. OR, you can use their store locator tool. You can stay up-to-date with WaterWipes on Facebook and Twitter.

When I asked readers several months ago what their top three most important baby gear items were, most answers read the same; car seat, stroller, and play yard. There was of course some other great baby gear items such as swings and baby carriers thrown into the mix, but for the most part the answer were unanimous and to be honest, I couldn't agree more! Having a quality car seat is imperative, and lets face it - having a quality stroller also helps make life with a child a little bit easier!

Baby Trend has been one of the leaders in baby gear for years, and I have had the opportunity to work with them on several occasions and they have always exceeded my expectations and have been a wonderful brand to work with. They were generous enough to send me a Playyard in "Supernova" for the upcoming arrival of Little Boy and I was over the moon! I didn't have a playyard with Little Mister because when he was born we lived in a small one bedroom apartment and I didn't have the space for one. His changing table was in our bedroom along with his basinet so I never had the need for a playyard, but with Little Boy I knew that I would need one, not only for the fact that we will be using it while we are out and about and traveling, but so that I could have it in our bedroom to change diapers in the middle of the night! 

To learn more about the Nursery Center Playyard from Baby Trend, use this link! 

To Purchase: Visit Baby Trend to view all of their baby gear options and to find the closest retailer near you that has the item that you're looking for in stock!

To Win: Mommy's Obsessions and Baby Trend want to give one very lucky winner a Playyard in Supernova, Velocity Ultra Lite Jogging Stroller in Bumblebee, and an Inertia Infant Car Seat in Bumblebee! ARV $450+

Today Mommy's Little Miracle is featuring a company that every pumping mom needs to be familiar with - Ameda!

About Ameda
(As from their website) 

"More than 70 years ago, Swedish engineer, Einar Egnell made it his life’s work to help breastfeeding mothers. After years of research, Egnell created the first comfortable and effective breast pump that closely mimics the sucking rhythm of nursing infants. In the process, Egnell also created the vacuum and cycling standards that today’s lactation professionals use to judge breast pump quality. Today’s Ameda breast pumps combined Egnell’s innovative technology with the features a 21st century mother expects. Everything Ameda offers – Ameda breast pumps and products, Ameda breastfeeding education, Ameda’s support of lactation professionals – reflects our passion for breastfeeding. Since 1942, Ameda has been the leading innovator and has delivered unmatched quality and service to lactation professionals, institutions and most importantly, mothers."

With the recent insurance changes in 2014, I was lucky enough to receive a complimentary breast pump from my insurance when I became pregnant with Little Boy. I was thrilled because when I had Little Mister, I didn't see the need for a pump and never got one, and when breastfeeding didn't work out for us after a while, I had no where to turn. With Little Boy if feeding directly from the breast doesn't work out, I plan to pump like a mad woman and feed that little guy my breastmilk! The breast pump that I received from my insurance was the Ameda Purely Yours and I will admit that I knew absolutely nothing about it, and wasn't really familiar with the Ameda brand. Once I did a little research, I was thrilled to see that they offered several other wonderful breastfeeding and pumping products and began to follow them on their social media channels.

One thing that stands out to me is the interaction that Ameda strives to achieve with their fans. I see daily updates on their Facebook and Twitter pages along with fun giveaways for their fans to enter. I myself even won a giveaway! 

Ameda generously sent me a handful of their products to try out including their NoShow Premium Disposable Nursing Pads, their Nursing Bra, their Cool N Carry System which is perfect for pumping and working moms, their ComfortGel Breast Pads, and their Store and Pour system. Although I am not pumping yet, I am extremely excited about all of these wonderful products and have even begun to wear the nursing bra! There are several breast pump brands on the market, but Ameda is at the top of my list!

To learn more about the products from Ameda, use this link! 

To Purchase: Ameda products are available at a wide range of retailers including their direct website, Target, Babies R Us, Buy Buy Baby, and more!

To Win: Mommy's Obsessions and Ameda want to give one lucky reader The Ultimate Pumping Prize Package! This fabulous prize package will include an Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pump, Breast Pump Accessory Kit, the Cool N Carry, and a package of Hydrogel Pads!

Today Mommy's Little Miracle is featuring a set of nursing items that are a must have for mommies everywhere- Bamboobies!

About Bamboobies
(As from their website) 

"Bamboobies nursing pads and other SOFT Style solutions have been created with love from one mother to many others. Bamboobies began as a solution to a personal problem: I was very 'leaky' and couldn't find a pad that didn't leak or show through my shirt. It was 2009 when the funny name 'Bamboobies' popped into my head after I turned a square of bamboo velour fabric into a makeshift pad. I had an entrepreneurial business background, a creative urge, and a sense of mission that couldn't be stopped. What began as a singular idea has quickly blossomed. After creating original and overnight Bamboobies nursing pads, I began to address other pregnancy and new mother challenges. We have grown our product line and team, moved out of the basement and gained more distribution partners across the US and abroad. More importantly, we have developed a growing, vocal base of mothers that love and rave about how our products have helped them."

When I had Little Mister, I will be the first to admit that I was extremely uneducated in the world of baby products. I knew that I wanted to try and breastfeed him, but I had no idea what type of "accessories" would be needed during my time breastfeeding and I hadn't purchased anything ahead of time. 

One thing that I quickly learned was that your breasts are going to leak and that you should invest in some nursing pads! Yep, I literally had no idea that this would happen (it was kind of sad how much I didn't know!). This time around I told myself that I would be as prepared as possible for when Little Boy arrived and one of the first things on my "nursing needs" checklist were quality, reusable nursing pads. Having been immersed in the baby industry for over two years now, I knew that Bamboobies were the nursing pads that I would want to stockpile, and I was even more excited to see that in addition to nursing pads they also offered nursing products to assist in the further comfort of nursing mamas!

Bamboobies generously sent me several products of theirs to try including their nursing pads, overnight nursing pads, Boob Ease Therapy Pillows, and Boob Ease Nipple Cream, all of which I cannot wait to use once Little Boy is here! 

To learn more about the wonderful products from Bamboobies, use this link! 

To Purchase: Visit the Bamboobies website to pick up your Bamboobies nursing pads, Boob-ease Therapy Products, and other Bamboobies nursing products! 

To Win: Mommy's Obsessions and Bamboobies want to give one lucky winner a $40 gift certificate to the Bamboobies website!

Today Mommy's Little Miracle is featuring the a product that many moms call a must have for nursing their little ones! The Mombo Nursing Pillow from Comfort and Harmony!

I have to admit: I always thought nursing pillows were silly and superfluous. It wasn't until after my daughter was at the age where she could have used one that I understood how handy one could have been. (For reasons other than breastfeeding, such as tummy time.) So, even if you're unsure about breastfeeding or even pillows of this type, I still highly recommend entering this giveaway! You may end up being like me! lol-MBM

About Kids II/Comfort and Harmony 
(As from their website) 

"Innovating babyhood for three generations and counting. We‘ve been creating a fascinating world for babies since our founder, a grandmother, came up with a great idea to keep infants from slipping in the bathtub. That was 1969. Since then at Kids II®, even more original and inventive thinking has led to a long list of products that have revolutionized our industry and made babyhood more fun for everyone. We see it as a wonderful growth spurt that‘s allowed us to share our award-winning products with babies and parents the world over.

Everything we do at Comfort & Harmony comes down to two things: Your baby and you. Your time together is so precious—and so fleeting—that we want both of you to get the most from every moment. Our intention shows up in details large and small—the ultra-soothing fabrics, the ergonomic product design, the too-adorable-for-words fashion choices. It all works together—and it’s all meant to make “comfort and harmony” not just a brand but a reflection of real, moment-by-moment experiences of mothers and children everywhere."

During the short duration of time that I was able to nurse Little Mister, we had a nursing pillow that I didn't really care for and rarely used. When it came time to shop around for a nursing pillow to use with Little Boy I was drawn to the Mombo Nursing Pillow because of the unique shape as well as the optional vibration feature! I liked that the Mombo was more contoured than other competitors on the market, and that it was advertised as not only a nursing pillow, but a pillow that would grow with your child as well! 

The Mombo Nursing Pillow has many wonderful features including Soft 2 Firm Comfort, a removable vibration unit, two patterned side options, removable slipcover, and more!

To Purchase: Comfort & Harmony offer several different options in the Mombo Nursing Pillow! Visit their website to choose the color/print that you like best!

Today Mommy's Little Miracle is featuring the comfortable, stylish, and not to mention extremely convenient nursing tank tops from Undercover Mama!

About Undercover Mama
(As from their Facebook description) 

"Undercover Mama functions as an undershirt, keeping your back, sides, and belly covered as you nurse. It has no straps and attaches directly to any bra. Welcome to No Hassle Nursing! We are all about moms! Mom Invented. Mom Owned. Mom Operated!"

Photo Credits: Undercover Mama

When I made the decision that Little Boy and I were going to be champions of nursing, I began doing my research on which nursing bras, shirts, and sleepwear were the best and most convenient. One company that I kept coming back to was Undercover Mama and their tank tops. I like to think that I have fashion sense (although I will shamelessly admit I am not match for a fashion blogger), but I have always tended to gravitate toward classic and plain clothing - so naturally plain tank tops have always been a wardrobe staple for me. I knew nursing tank tops would be a huge asset, especially since they would be perfect to pair a cute yet simple cardigan with; making it easy to nurse Little Boy on demand. 

I absolutely love the nursing tank tops from Undercover Mama for the simple fact that they are easy to use. They have two types of attachments for you to just hook directly to your nursing bra, making it quick and easy to attach and un-attach. The Undercover Mama tank tops are also high quality - unlike "regular" tank tops that you may pick up in stores. 

To learn more about Undercover Mama Nursing Tanks, use this link! 

To Purchase: You can grab your Undercover Mama Nursing tank tops from their website or you can search for a retailer near you! Undercover Mama offers tank tops in solid colors, prints, lace trims, and even in a premium slimming style!

Today Mommy's Little Miracle is featuring a brand who is making postpartum bleeding more bearable and dare I say comfortable - Pink Lemonade Shop!

Have you tried Pink Lemonade Shop's products yet? Whether you have or not, this is a wonderful chance to get your stash started or build it even further. I know I can always use more!-MBM

About Pink Lemonade Shop
(As from their website) 

"I am a SAHM/WAHM to 4 beautiful children and wife to my wonderful husband of 10 years. After the birth of our third child, I decided to take the plunge and quit my full-time job to stay at home with our kids. I appreciate your support in visiting my store.
I believe in providing my customers with an excellent quality product and prompt, friendly customer service. I’m also a bit of a fabric snob and only use the very best fabrics to make my cloth menstrual pads. Hand dyed Bamboo Velour, Lusciously soft Minky, and designer Cotton Woven prints are just a hint of some of the wonderful fabrics that I have to offer.
The bottom layer of my pads is made with high quality Water Resistant Fleece or breathable Wool Interlock."

When I decided to get greener with my time of the month over a year ago, I had no idea how much I would love the transition and how well my body would respond to it. I use to get horrible periods with days of intense cramping and a heavy flow, but since making the switch from chemical filled disposable menstrual products, to Pink Lemonade Shop pads, my cramping has been minimal and my periods have been a moderate to light flow. I loved the Pink Lemonade Shop brand so much that I became an ambassador for them and I now make it my personal mission to help women everywhere switch to cloth to see the difference for themselves!

One product of Pink Lemonade Shop's that I have always had my eye on are their 13 inch Postpartum Pads. While I knew I didn't need such a large pad for my normal monthly flows, I knew that once I became pregnant I would want to start building a postpartum stash so that I could be ready for the first 6 weeks or so after delivery. When Little Boy was conceived I immediately reached out to Sue and she began a custom postpartum stash for me! 

Shortly after I began accumulating my 13 inch Postpartum pads, she introduced a new size that is not only perfect for postpartum as well, but is wonderful with women who have a heavy flow overnight or just feel more comfortable having extra night (or even day!) protection. The 12" Ultimate Overnight Pad became an instant success for Pink Lemonade Shop fans and I personally love the option of having two different sizes for postpartum bleeding. Not only will I be 150 times more comfortable during those first handful of weeks after delivery, but I love knowing that there won't be chemicals next to such a sensitive area of my body, especially if I have another rough delivery like I did with Little Mister!

To Purchase: Visit Pink Lemonade Shop's website and browse their huge selection of pads as well as accessories you will need for your cycle!

To Win: Mommy's Obsessions and Pink Lemonade Shop want to give one lucky reader a more comfortable postpartum experience by giving them a $50 Pink Lemonade Shop Website Credit!

Today Mommy's Little Miracle is featuring a brand who makes safe sleeping a priority - HALO!

About Halo
(As from their website) 

"Our founder Bill Schmid and his wife lost their first born to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).  From this tragedy, HALO® and its mission were born.  For nearly 20 years we’ve been dedicated to putting the health, safety and well-being of babies first.  From our bestselling SleepSack® wearable blankets that help babies sleep safely, to our ComfortLuxe® Sleepwear that helps little ones with sensitive skin sleep more comfortably, to our Healthy Hips™ Diaper Cover that can help reduce the risk of infant hip dysplasia, all we do comes from the core idea of putting babies first."

When it comes to your child, having them sleep safely is a parents priority; we strive to make sure that they're safe 110% of the time and that includes at nighttime. HALO has made it their priority to bring awareness to safe sleeping and strives to make products that not only help reduce the risk of SIDS, but ease parents piece of mind while they're little miracle(s) sleep.

A few key safe sleeping tips that HALO wants to share with parents are: 

• Place baby to sleep on his or her back at naptime and at night time.
•  Room-share, but don’t bed share; the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend against bed sharing as it can lead to an increased risk for accidental suffocation.
• Use a crib or bassinet that meets current safety standards with a firm mattress that fits snugly and is covered with only a tight-fitting crib sheet.

For more safe sleeping tips, visit the full review (link below)!

For the Mommy's Little Miracle event, HALO was generous enough to send Mommy's Obsessions a sample of their Newborn SleepSack Swaddle, and a size small SleepSack for Little Boy when he arrives! I was very excited to have the opportunity to try both of these products out; Little Mister has one of the HALO Big Kids SleepSacks and absolutely loves it! When I opened them both up, the first thing I noticed was how comfortable they would be for Little Boy to sleep in, and how they would give me great peace of mind knowing that he will be cozy yet not have any loose blankets in his bassinet or crib!

There is also one more excited product that Halo just launched in an effort to create safer sleeping habits - the HALO™ Bassinest™ Swivel Sleeper! The Bassinest has a unique dual-swivel design and is the only bassinet that moves to bring baby to mom or dad, allowing them to sleep as close as the parent wants, even right next to them in bed! What is wonderful about the Bassinest is that although it keeps baby close, it also keeps them sleeping safely in his or her own separate sleep area, which ultimately reduces the risks that are associated with bed-sharing.

The Bassinest also helps to support nursing moms with a patented retractable wall! The baby can be brought to breast without getting out of bed, and it also has a unique nursing timer alerts mom when it's time to change sides or return baby to his own sleeping space.  Mom can tend to many of her baby’s needs while still in bed for greater convenience, comfort, and a more restful sleep. The new Bassinest Swivel Sleeper is JPMA-certified and was awarded the top JPMA Innovation Award for 2013. 

To Purchase: For more information on HALO SleepSacks, the HALO Bassinest, and to purchase, visit their website!

To Win: To help get you started with safe sleep practices, HALO is offering a Swaddle and SleepSack to the wonderful readers of Mommy's Obsessions!
