Must Have Bravado Dream Nursing Tank

Disclosure- I received the below in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own and honest. For more, see “I Disclose”

Finding a breastfeeding tank has honestly proved to be a huge obstacle for me in my previous pregnancies and births. I never found one that I was crazy about. I must say that with Bravado’s Dream Nursing Tank I have been completely satisfied.

Features:

About the Support Her Dream Campaign:

With every purchase of the New Bravado Dream Nursing Tank through the end of April, Bravado will donate a nursing tank to Baby Buggy to help ensure moms in need have a successful start to their breastfeeding journey. The donation goal of 10,000 nursing tanks is valued at nearly half a million dollars and will be distributed to the organizations Baby Buggy serves throughout North America.

My Thoughts:

Yay! I can’t even begin to tell you how excited that I am about this amazing tank. First of all I have never worn a tank that is as soft and comfortable as this tank and it’s a Nursing Tank on top of that. I have worn nursing tanks in the past and was incredibly disappointed by how horrible the actual coverage and support was for myself. I never could wear it outside of my house, or even in my house when we had company. With this amazing tank I can wear it now with pregnancy and I know that I will wear it a great deal after the baby is here. I would recommend this amazing tank to anyone and am already planning on ordering it in another color as well to have when the baby is here.

Purchase:

HALO SleepSack Swaddle

April 7, 2016 by Danielle Leave a Comment

Disclosure- I received the below in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own and honest. For more, see “I Disclose”.

Like most parents out there this day in age I do not use blankets for my kiddos when they are babies. My girls were born in the winter so the SleepSack was a great option to keep them warm and safe throughout the night. This baby will be born in the heat of the summer and I was really hoping for a SleepSack Swaddle this time around as well. Let me tell you that the SleepSack Swaddle from Halo will not disappoint anyone.

About HALO:

Their mission is: Putting Babies First. The founder Bill Schmid and his wife Cathy lost their first born to SIDS. From this tragedy, HALO and its mission was born. For more than 20 years they’ve been dedicated to putting the health, safety, and well-being of babies first. From their bestselling SleepSack wearable blankets that help babies sleep safely, to their award-winning Bassinest Swivel Sleeper that lets you sleep safely next to your baby, to their ComfortLuxe Sleepwear that helps little ones with sensitive skin sleep more comfortably, all we do comes from the core idea of putting babies first.

About the 3-way HALO SleepSack Swaddle:

The HALO SleepSack Swaddle replaces loose blankets in the crib that can cover your baby’s face and interfere with breathing. In addition to helping your baby sleep safe, it helps him sleep better, too. Its adjustable swaddle wrap immobilizes your baby’s arms to prevent the “Moro” or startle reflex. This is the ONLY 3-way adjustable swaddle that adjusts to your baby’s sleep style. Swaddle arms in, hands-to-face, one or both arms out to ensure baby’s best sleep and an easy and gentle transition the the SleepSack Wearable blanket when it is time to stop swaddling. It is used in hospital nurseries nationwide, the HALO SleepSack Swaddle is the #1 choice of hospitals and is recognized as “Hip Healthy” by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute. It’s strong adjustable fasteners ensure a perfect fit and resist breakouts for more secure swaddling. Plus, it’s innovative zipper, unzips from the bottom allowing your baby to stay swaddled for easy diaper changes.

Use over regular sleepwear to replace loose blankets for safe sleep.
“Back is Best” message reminds all caregivers to put your baby to sleep on their backs.
Generously-sized fasteners offer adjustability for a perfect fit.
Unique, roomy sack design is recognized by the international Hip Dysplasia Institute as “hip healthy”.
Inverted zipper for easy diaper changes.

My Thoughts:

I am absolutely excited about the new 3-way option on the SleepSacks. I loved these with my daughters and know that I will get a great deal of use out of them with my new baby this summer. I also was excited to see that the one I received is 100% Cotton Muslin so it won’t be near as hot as the previous ones that I have used on my girls. The SleepSack itself fits your baby perfectly even as they grow. I have bought the SleepSack Swaddle for friends that have babies because I truly feel that it is that amazing. Can’t wait until my new little one is here to use it.

Rest Rite- Get a Great Night’s Sleep

March 28, 2016 by Danielle Leave a Comment

Disclosure- I received the below in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own and honest. For more, see “I Disclose”.

As many of you who have been pregnant know, getting a great night sleep after you are to your 2nd or 3rd trimester can be incredibly hard. I can only wish that I would have found this great product with my previous 2 pregnancies. The Rest Rite has been a pretty neat tool to use on my really rough nights.

About Rest Rite:

The Rest Rite Sleep Positioner is an innovative new device that was designed to train your body to sleep in the best position for your needs by repositioning you as you sleep in a comfortable way. It can also be used as an over the counter breathing aid while serving as one of the best home remedies for sleep trouble on the market. It is safe and comfortable.

The product then acts as a “bubble” that gently encourages you to stay off your back throughout the night. It can also be placed on other parts of your body to encourage a different sleeping position.

It can help with:

Snoring and Sleep Apnea
Pregnancy
Injury
Heartburn
Reflux
Back Pain
Gerd

We all know that pregnancy causes havoc on peaceful nights’ sleep. The American Pregnancy Association says that sleeping on the back during pregnancy can cause health issues such as backaches, difficulty in breathing and a decrease in circulation to the heart and the baby. They recommend Sleeping on the Side position for a better, healthier night’s sleep and even better, on the left side to improve circulation and move nutrient-packed blood from a mother’s heart to the placenta to nourish the baby.

The comfortable Rest-Rite Sleep Positioner attaches directly onto the back with easily-removed, residue-free, medical grade adhesive, and gently helps to remind a pregnant woman to roll back to her side if she accidentally rolls onto her back while sleeping. It won’t shift during the night, making falling and staying asleep easier.

My Thoughts:

I was incredibly impressed with the Rest-Rite. I am just now at the end of my 2nd trimester and staying asleep at night is starting to become tricky. I typically am a side sleeper, so being pregnant and having to sleep on my side has never really been a problem for me. I will tell you that now this far along into my 3rd pregnancy my body has a hard time some nights staying on my side thanks to that little thing called gravity. 🙂 . I have been impressed on the nights that I have used the Rest-Rite and would definitely recommend it to any pregnant friend that was having rough nights and having the problem of rolling onto their back.

Purchase:

If you are interested in purchasing this amazing product, head on over to their website and order a box for yourself to see how great it is!
