Bamboo Baby!

What Are The Benefits of Bamboo in Baby Clothes? When it comes to organic baby clothes, bamboo is the best option for babies. It’s naturally hypo-allergenic and anti-bacterial, it prevents odor, allergies, and skin irritations. Bamboo is an exceptional choice for parents that face the challenges of sensitive skin conditions such as eczema.
Additionally, bamboo is a thermal-regulating fabric, which is very important for newborns who naturally have difficulty keeping a consistent and comfortable body temperature. With the ability to keep your baby cool in the summer and warm in the winter, it's both a smart and economical choice.
For all of you green-minded parents out there, you'll be happy to know that, since bamboo is a grass that grows in the same way as weeds, it is the fastest growing plant in the world today; in fact, it has the ability to grow three feet in just one day! The most replenishable natural resource available.
Finally, if you're wondering how bamboo looks and feels, you're in for a pleasant surprise. It’s as soft as the most expensive Egyptian cotton and laundries well too!

Yes to Swaddling!

I am a proud mother of a new baby boy, Camden! He was born July 5 and weighing the average 7.9 lbs. I remember the first time I was able to hold him was shortly after my C-section. He was brought to me in those generic hospital receiving blankets. You know what I am talking about. The small white blankets with blue and pink stripes. Well, it's the perfect swaddle blanket the first few weeks. In my case two weeks at the most. My son was very active and by the second week if not sooner he was able to wiggle his way out of the blanket. Needless to say he would wake up because his arms would startle him.
I am a huge fan of Swaddling. I do believe it helps to calm babies into sleep and sleep longer periods at a time. I found the best swaddle blanket. Made by SwaddleDesigns, these swaddle blankets are large enough so that after many attempts of trying to "esacape" my son was not able to get out. Therefore, he sleeps longer which makes for a happier baby and a happier mother. SwaddleDesigns now offers swaddle blankets in organic cotton and organic flannel. The blanket designs are fun and stylish which is hard to find when you're looking for organic! The company has even ventured into organic bibs and burps, towels and washcloths and the ZipMe Sacks for those babies ready to transition out of the swaddle blanket!! To see their selection go to www.growgreenbaby.com! You will say Yes to Swaddling when you do!
