Snug Fits

If it weren't for humor, it would be difficult to survive parenthood. And for many of us, we would have checked into the proverbial funny farm long ago. It starts out with a bang - and never lets up. Premature deliveries, sleepless nights, colic, poop explosions, non-stop crying... the list goes on.

But one mom took things into her own hands and created a cool line of baby tees and onesies celebrating the underlying humor of it all. And they're not just funny, these are some well made tees. Constructed from pre-shrunk 100% cotton, they're as thick, soft and comfy as they come.

Founder and designer Sara Reider used her background in graphic design and typography to launch Snugfits.com, an online baby boutique. Sara offers a wide selection of onesies, shirts, hats and pants that can be customized in fabric color, ink color, sleeve length and size (preemie up to 18-24 months).
Her designs are sure to make you laugh with sayings such as "recovering colic", "cry baby" and "sleep is for the weak". The collection of preemie tees include clever phrases like "I'm here!" and "preemie donna". She also has some great sets for twins like "copycat" and "perfect pair" that you can indulge your babies in.

In addition to fashion, Sara aims to provide support and share funny stories with fellow parents. Along with husband Brett, she created her own parenting blog - designed to discuss anything having to do with being a parent.
On a more serious note, Sara plans to “give back, literally”. 10% of all proceeds from Snugfits™ are donated to Surfers Healing, a foundation near and dear to her heart. Her oldest son, Gavin, has been diagnosed with Autism, a lifelong neurological disorder that impairs normal functioning of the brain, impacting development in the areas of social interaction and communication skills. She started enrolling Gavin in the Surfers Healing camps when he was 2 years old. The camps are free to families who want to participate. The children are offered sensory relief and calmness on the water, along with a sense of pride and accomplishment on the surf board.

Snugfits™ can be found in several boutiques across the U.S. and Canada, or by visiting the company's website at http://www.snugfits.com/. Priced at $20.00 with free shipping in the USA, the onesies and baby tees are perfect for a baby shower, birthday or holiday gift and can be gift wrapped in a reusable organza drawstring bag upon request. Wholesale inquiries are welcome. Further information about Snugfits™ baby apparel may be obtained by making contact through the website or by calling (910) 447-0120.

Mutsy

Mutsy, originally founded as Mutsarrts in 1935, got its start building traditionally styled prams. Initially serving the Benelux countries of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, the idea of portability and comfort were critical given these countries’ emphasis on walking. The result was larger than normal wheels to provide improved maneuverability and a smoother ride for baby. The company was purchased by long-time employee Cees Driessen in the 1980s.

Mutsy continued to manufacture its trademark prams and expanded into other European markets. In the new millennium, the vision of the founder’s son, Freek Driessen, was to create an aesthetically pleasing and technologically advanced frame as the basis of a distinctive new line of innovative baby transport products.

The Mutsy collection is expertly designed to meet parents’ every need with a unique modular system that is extremely flexible. Engineered to fold from the front, the silhouette of the strollers is clean and modern. Various components fit into the Mutsy frame such as a travel cot (bassinet), a stroller seat, a car seat (with adaptor), and a fun seat for toddlers. The intelligent click mechanism is found on the babysitter chassis as well, so the stroller seat can be clicked in to make a rocker. The dinner tray can replace the front bumper bar for snack or mealtime, and the diaper bag can be attached to the back of the seat or the stroller handle for hands-free access. Each frame in the standard Mutsy line comes complete with a full-sized bassinet and stroller seat.

Wear Your Baby - with a Rockin Baby Sling or Pouch!

Lisa McDaniel & Natasha Walsh are a 2-mom shop that have been making slings since 2002 when their first children were born. They first started making Rockin' Baby Slings because there weren't any super fashionable slings around back then. Lisa & Natasha both loved wearing their babies, but weren't completely happy with how the slings they had looked and worked. Since then they have added the Rockin' Baby Pouch which is a fully reversible pouch that is adjustable to 4 sizes via hidden zippers. Lisa & Natasha made the Rockin’ Baby Sling and Pouch for the modern parent who wants to remain fashionable, functioning and true to their sense of self while nurturing their baby. Both the sling and pouch can be worn in 5 different carrying positions to match baby’s mood and development up to 40 lbs. Babywearing is great for both parent and baby!

When Lisa & Natasha first started their business it was simply the two of them wanting to make a few stylish slings for themselves. It quickly grew into something else as women on the street would constantly come up to them asking where they could get one. That was when they decided we were really going to start a company. At first they were literally selling slings out of the trunks of their cars, but before long they got a website up and running and started selling slings online and wholesale. In 2005 Lisa & Natasha opened a store in Eagle Rock, California, that carries great baby and children's clothing, accessories and of course Rockin' Baby Slings and Pouches.

Babywearing comes from the simple desire to make your baby happy and to make your life easier. There are so many benefits to baby wearing you could fill pages listing them, yet if you walk down the street you’ll still see that most bouncy, warm, cuddly infants and toddlers who would prefer to be held, are at least an arms length away from their parent riding at knee level in a stroller, or being carried in an infant car seat that weighs much more then baby and is very unwieldy. Close contact with your baby does so much for both parent and baby. Here are just a few of the myriad ways babywearing improves life for baby, and / or mom and dad:

-Babies worn in slings are happier. A report in Pediatrics Journal states that babywearing reduces crying and fussiness up to 43% during the day and 51% at night. Babies who are carried cry less, smile more, spit up less, have less colic and bond better. That means you will also be happier!

-Babies who are carried learn more – that means your baby will be smarter! Babies who are worn are more frequently in the quiet-alert state, which is optimal for learning.

-Babies who are worn thrive. Because of the effects of motion and close contact babies who are worn spend less time crying, and more time growing and thriving.

-Babywearing helps you and your baby communicate better. You become more sensitive to baby’s needs and cues, which means that your baby will cry less because his or her needs are being met before crying is necessary.

-Wearing your baby is convenient – you don’t have to worry about narrow aisles, stairs or crowds, and it isn’t heavy or awkward like car seat carriers. Slinging also lulls baby to sleep.

-Babywearing liberates your arms so that you can get things done, like work or care for older siblings, while bonding with and soothing your baby.

-Babywearing makes discipline easier. Wearing your baby creates a deeper connection between parent and child. Research shows that well-connected children are more secure, settled, considerate, sociable, cooperative, adaptable, affectionate and willing to share.

Babywearing has been around as long as humans have been making babies because it works! Get your hip sling or pouch to wear your baby at : http://www.rockinbabysling.com/

POLKADOT PAPOOSE - Wear your baby with style!

Remember the first time you saw a mom carrying her baby in a fabric sling? “How very organic,” you mused, privately convinced that no self-respecting fashionista would ever don one of those earth-mother baby bags.

Well, surprise, surprise. Not only are slings soaring in popularity as a practical alternative to buckle-heavy Bjorns and bulky baby carriers, but from the boardwalks of L.A. to the streets of Manhattan, baby slings are developing into the fashion statement of the style-conscious contemporary mom. Even Hollywood’s icons are wearing their babies: Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Garner, Gwen Stefani, Naomi Watts…heck, even Brad Pitt proudly slings his little one! Find a recent photo of just about any celebrity parent out and about with babies or toddlers, and chances are you’ll see a sling somewhere in the picture.

But even beyond the chic factor, here’s one obvious reason babywearing is taking over our culture after centuries of acceptance in other cultures: a sling is a simple and incredibly sensible tool for accomplishing your goals as a do-everything parent without sacrificing one second of precious baby’s bonding time. (In fact, science suggests you may actually raise a smarter and happier baby by slinging…but you’ll have to check out the Polkadot Papoose website to read more about that.)

The makers of Polkadot Papoose hold one truth to be totally obvious: not all slings are created equal. So from the mind of a free-lance babywear designer, an amazing line of slings has been born, combining elegance, versatility, comfort, artistry and a more-than-generous dose of modern-vintage chic. Introducing the completely reversible, pocket-included Polkadot Papoose baby sling. Utilizing only the latest fabrics from both established and emerging designers, Polkadot Papoose has created a sling that fits your pace without taking over your space. And the best part about these slings is that a portion of every sale is donated to Project Rescue, an organization dedicated to freeing child prostitutes from their lives of suffering.

Whether you are a mom, a mom-to-be, or just a caring friend looking for an adorable and unique gift for someone you love, this is your ideal destination for the perfect baby accessory. Visit them today at http://www.polkadotpapoose.com/. Happy slinging!

SNUG & TUG! Get Swaddled! Get Sleep!

Get Swaddled. Get Sleep. Yeah, you heard it right. Swaddling is great for helping babies sleep better, but swaddling with Snug & Tug could create small miracles! Could you imagine it – a new mom out of her pajamas by noon, no under-eye circles?! It’s true. Snug & Tug is the swaddling blanket that works. Mary Beth Meyers certainly is a believer, she says "I would write a book on how wonderful the Snug & Tug Swaddling blanket works. I had one of these for my daughter and it literally saved my sanity!"

Snug and Tug, an innovative, award-winning blanket is helping thousands of babies and parents get a better night’s sleep.

Simona, another loyal Snug & Tug Mama says, "My son loved his Snug &Tug blanket from day one. We would wrap him up and he would calm down right away and fall asleep within 10 minutes. My son was sleeping 8 hours a night at 2 months old and we have the Snug and Tug blanket to thank! The blanket grew as he grew due to the adjustable and perfectly placed velcro...."


Its patented, unmatched design has the combination of three special features that create the feeling of being completely embraced in the snug, warm and familiar environment of the womb. Its full body-body pouch, which is sized to grow with your baby, allows the baby to kick and wiggle all night long without escaping. A small opening on the left side allows you to easily wrap the blanket around both sides of the baby. The strategically placed, quiet, adjustable Velcro ensures the blanket stays in placed and adjusts to your baby’s always growing size.





Snug & Tug was designed by two moms who were frustrated by the lack of functioning swaddling blankets on the market and who decided to create their own. Snug & Tug was tested by real moms and their suggestions were implemented to create a flawless design. The results are in and Snug & Tug is a mommy must have. Editors of Parents.com just awarded it “A product its readers can’t live without.”


Crystal, Mama of Sarah Anne can't stop raving about it. "We cannot live without Snug & Tug. My little girl CANNOT sleep without it. It is a truly amazing product! I noticed the wonderful quality right off, it's very easy to use and my little girl loved it! We ordered the large size and we will get tons of use out of it because it is sooo big! I wish I would have known about this product sooner. Thanks so much for an outstanding product!"


The outstanding design is not the only fabulous thing about this blanket. The trendy fabric choices and adorable packaging make it the perfect baby shower gift. Available in 2 sizes these blankets are generously made to fit all sized babies. Made in the USA with super soft cotton this blanket is the one to have!
