Finding the perfect bottle for your baby can be a daunting task. My girls have both been breastfed other than the times that they are at daycare, so they were reluctant in the beginning to be happy with a bottle. I also wanted to be able to continue breastfeeding so I was having a hard time to find the perfect bottle for them. Tomme Tippee has an amazing Ultra Feeding Bottle that could be the solution to this problem for many moms.

I love finding great accessories that makes parenting easier. I love it even more when these items are adorable. With Petite Namaste, I can promise that you are going to find great items that are also adorable.

About Petite Namaste:

Petite Namaste was established in 2013 with the goal of creating beautiful hand block printed products for kids. Co-founder and Creative Director, Yanira Colon, worked in the New York fashion industry until 2010, when her husband got the opportunity to work in India. They moved with their fourteen month old daughter and started their new adventure in the southern state of Karnataka. Yanira immediately fell in love with the beautiful and colorful Indian prints. She was mesmerized by the traditional art of hand block printing, where artisians use hand carved blocks of aged teak wood to create unique designs. While pregnant with her second daughter, she envisioned a baby nursery inspired by the hand block printing art of India. When her second daughter was born she set off to make that dream a reality, embodied in the designs of Petite Namaste.

20160328_171338
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.

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

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

20160328_061705

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

unnamed

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.

20160328_061747

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.
