Will never do that again!

I am a breastfeeding mommy and sometimes if you are a working mommy it is hard to just step away from work and pump. 

I'm pretty good about stepping away, but today we had a meeting with a vendor that was from out of town so we don't get to see them often, we normally work by phone.  Our meeting was from 9-12 and then went to lunch.  Well I normally pump twice a day, 930 and 130 and since our meeting was early and then lunch, I chose to skip the mornings pump!  Well, never again!  I haven't done this at all this time and Baby B was 7 months yesterday!  YES 7 months!!

Needless to say...I will never do that again!  The man that works with me has two daughters and his oldest has two kids so he is used to hearing that kind of stuff, but sorry!!

Anyway, just a vent...and to share a picture of Baby B who is 7 months old.

Baby Blessings Natural Products: Fuzzi Bunz One Size Review and Giveaway Ends 3/26

Baby Blessings Natural Products is a shop that offers many natural products. They offer cloth diapers, breastfeeding supplies, swimware and many other amazing products. 

Baby Blessings Natural Products sent me a Fuzzi Bunz One Size Cloth Diaper to review.It is one of the most adjustable and innovative one-size cloth diapers on the market today! This diaper is able to adjust to fit babies 7-35 pounds and get a snug fit every time with the button-adjusted waist and leg casings.





This diaper didn't have buttons to adjust to make it a One Size to fit your baby...it is a SUPER adjustable diaper without an excess of snaps. It may take a bit of "adjusting" to get to the right size, but when you find the right fit, you set it and forget it! 

Baby B was pretty upset with me for taking pictures she wasn't up to picture taking.  So, honey...Mommy working.  I love this Fuzzi Bunz OS on her.  It is one amazing fit. 

This diaper can be used both for during the day and at night without leaking.  We used it during both and had no issues.  Should you have leaking issues, you may want to check your settings and make sure that they fit your baby correctly.  You may also need to place an additional insert for added protection.

As Baby B has gotten older and do to being a breastfed baby, she has got some chubby legs.  Can you see them?  Fuzzi Bunz OS will work for you babies with chubby legs and those that don't since they have this amazing adjustable button.  I love it.

One feature that I noticed is different with this one is that some of the other Fuzzi Bunz have two rows of snaps on the diaper, but not the One Size, it only has one row of snaps.  I thought this might change whether we had leakage or not, but it did not.  We still had amazing coverage and no leakage.
You looking for a package for your cloth diapering needs, Baby Blessings Natural Products has all the packages you could think of.  They include packages for Fuzzi Bunz and Bummis.

Happy Heiny's Cloth Diapers from Diaper My Baby Review and Giveaway

(autopost)

Happy Heiny Cloth diapers...They are just that...Happy heiny's. Recently Diaper My Baby sent me a cloth diaper to review.  I have been working with Selina, the owner and she sent me a beautiful purple One Size Happy Heiny.  Can't you tell how Happy my daughter, Baby B's heiny is.  :)

One of the things that I loved about this diaper is that I could hardly tell that it was a One Size when I got it...I was looking and looking and then I finally found the snaps to adjust the sizing are easy to undo so if I needed to change the settings.  The snaps are easy to use.

Happy Heiny's comes with:

• 1 “one-size” diaper lined with super soft terry
• 1 large terry insert for the larger size (when adjusted)
• 1 small terry insert for the smaller size (when adjusted)

Baby B fit perfectly in this diaper.  The diaper is like it says One Size and fits from birth to potty training (7.5 lbs to 35 lbs).  So you would have a Small, Medium and Large in size when adjusted for your child. Happy Heiny's uses their own custom milled fleece and high quality products in manufactoring.  And what diaper have you found that you could get in a super cute cow print.  Happy Heiny's also has other cute prints for you to enjoy as well!


Baby B look so cute in her Happy Heiny!  Something else that I really liked was the legs because we had absolutely no leaks. 

I recently have really enjoyed the aplix because it is easier to make it tighter and it looks much neater.  Our sitter who keeps Baby B part time who is older said she liked these much better too because she has a hard time with the snaps with her fingers!

Diaper My Baby's shop does not only include cloth diapers, but she also includes diaper bags, breastfeeding/pregnancy, baby carriers and many other products that any pregnant woman or mommy would enjoy.

One of my other favorite products besides the cloth diapers that she has is Scrabble Tile Pendents, these are adorable.  They are little pendents with your child's photo that when your send your photo to Diaper My Baby they will place in the pendent.  Look at this beautiful Custom Scrabble Tile Birthstone Bracelet, its gorgeous and how could you not want one with your child's photo and their birthstone colors. Also if you wanted to purchase this as a gift to give someone, it comes packaged in an organza gift pouch, so it would be ready to give as a gift. Now I love these, and I could imagine most other mommies would too!

CHECK THEM OUT:

COST:

Happy Heiny's are $18.95.  Great price for a one size diaper that you can use from birth to potty training.

Nipple Nurture Balm Review and Giveaway

Remember a while back I was complaining of severe pain and that my breasts were cracked and bleeding and just plain hurting.  Sarah from Fairhaven Health sent me some Nipple Nurture Balm to review.

I went looking into a lot of products and was looking for products that were without harsh additives and preservatives.  Most of all, I was looking for something that was organic and safe for myself and my baby.  I found Nipple Nuture Balm and this was the only thing that I could find that I partically even cared for.  It was designed to soothe, protect,  heal sores and/or cracked nipples.

As soon as I received it, because I was in so much pain, I immediately opened this bad boy up. I expected this to be much thicker like most other stuff is and when I stuck my finger in to get some, my finger went to the bottom.  It was soft and I really liked this because when putting it on my cracked nipples I didn't have to rub it in as much.  So, I didn't feel as much pain.  I could place this on before breastfeeding or after breastfeeding and it was safe for Baby B.  But in my case, I put this in my breastpump bag and whenever it is time to pump, I put this on my nipples.

Within two days, my nipples were healed and I was a happy Momma again and no longer crying in pain when it was time to feed and pump.  I still continue to use this at least once a day because it contains ingredients that has natural moisturizers

Fairhaven Health also has other products that they support in fertility, pregnancy and nursing.   I did notice that they have Dreambelly Stretch Mark Cream which I know many of us would appreciate being pregnant and worry about getting stretch marks.   Check out all the great products that they have for nursing and pregnancy.

COST:  The Nipple Nurture Balm is $11.95 and definitely worth it when you need help with your nipples and generally is a 1 month supply.  You know you want some and it is great product to have when you are pregnant and getting prepared for your baby arriving when you are breastfeeding.

GIVEAWAY: Fairhaven Health would like to offer one of my lucky blog readers a container (1.5 oz) of Nipple Nurture Balm to use.

MANDATORY ENTRY:  You must follow my blog via google friend connect and then sign up for Fairhaven Health's newsletter (at the bottom right of the page). Once you have done this, come back here and comment and make sure you include your email address.

Bella Materna Nursing Bra ($68.00) Review and Giveaway

Breastfeeding and bras have never gone hand and hand with me.  I have never ever been happy with the bras that I have had when breastfeeding and I felt with my third one it was about time to have a bra that fit and felt good to wear.

Bella Materna is a shop specialized in luxurious nursing bras and maternity lingerie.  So, you mean I can look like a hot mess and be pregnant and/or just had a baby.  Well then if I can, then I am all about it.  WOO HOO. 

I was sent a Lightly Padded Nursing Bras with underwire in the color black and in size 36D.  Well I put this bra on immediately because I had never ordered a bra online so I was a little nervous that it wouldn't fit and as soon as I put it on, I fell in love.  Seriously ladies, I fell in love.  My boobs no longer were all over the place, and my ladies were finally sitting nice and pretty.  Yea I said it, they are sitting nice and pretty and no longer hanging. For once I felt like my boobs looked sexy again!  WOAH! It fit perfect.

Another plus to this padded bra is that it is padded. This for me is a must because a lot of the times it looks like my headlights are on high beams or as I have heard before, "It is quite nipply out!" Haha.  I seem to have this issue worse when I am breastfeeding, so most nursing bras that I have ever worn before I have always had to wear a nursing pad so that this doesn't happen.  Guess what?   Not with this hot bra.  I LOVE IT!!

Not only does this shop have sexy bras, but they also have pretty sexy nursing gowns.  What a sexy nursing gown?  Who has ever heard of such!  Well, Bella Materna has and they want all us mama's to feel good about ourselves.

And all you ladies out there who like to wear thongs...yep thongs.  Who would have ever thought that being pregnant and wearing thongs would go together?  I didn't.  But at Bella Materna you can wear thongs while being pregnant and/or while nursing and look hot while doing so.

Now after seeing all this HOT stuff from Bella Materna, you want to buy some because you are pregnant or nursing and want to look HOT too, right.  So, go ahead...head on over to Bella Materna online.

GIVEAWAY:

Bella Materna would like to offer one of my readers a padded bra in the color of their preference and size.
