I love Tushie Huggers, not only do they take the guesswork out of getting baby dressed, (you already have two bottom pieces matched,) but they’re great for when you want your child to be cute but dressed for the cooler weather.

As Fall is upon us and hopefully the chilly weather too, I’m so over this heat, Tushie Huggers make the perfect article of clothing. You can mix and match Agoo tops or your own since all of the styles come in all sorts of colors. I love the Daisy Drop and Polka Dot Pop, not just for their names but the color combinations are oh-so-adorable.

If you think Tushie Huggers are just for girls you are sorely mistaken. I thought they only had skirt versions too, until I looked at their website: http://tushiehuggers.com/ a little more and found these cute boy shorts with legging! Check these Little Prince Tushie Huggers out, don’t you just love the mock belt??

All in all there are currently 20 different pairs of Tushie Huggers to choose from in sizes 0 to 36 months and believe it or not are eco-friendly! Yep, you heard right Agoo makes Tushie Huggers and other great clothing out of bamboo, you may remember my Leg Huggers review here. Bamboo is sensitive skin friendly which is great for Baby C’s eczema. Hooray no scratchy fabrics for gentle skin.

Baby C just learned how to roll over, but I can’t wait to see how these things hold up when she starts crawling, they seem pretty thick, so I think they’ll protect her knees pretty well.

Tushie Huggers are a little pricey at $25 a pop, but if you figure buying 2 pieces as opposed to 1 and they’re made from bamboo, so compared to a lot of other eco-friendly lines this is pretty reasonable, and great for the environment and your child!

I really like Tushie Huggers and would recommend them to anyone who wants a fashionable, eco-friendly, or has a sensitive-skinned child. Buy your Tushie Huggers here: http://tushiehuggers.com/ and be sure to “Like” them on Facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/TushieHuggers

Weight Loss while Breastfeeding

Immediately after giving birth, mothers usually want to know two things: (a) how to keep their baby healthy and thriving in this brand new environment, and (b) how to get back to their pre-pregnancy weight without negatively affecting the development of (a) in any way.

At Fusion South, we deal with several post-partum clients who are highly motivated to lose their baby weight, but are unsure of how to go about it – specifically in conjunction with nursing.

A good rule of thumb while nursing is to take in 200-500 calories in excess of what you needed to maintain your weight before you were pregnant. So, if you were consistently eating 1,500 calories per day before pregnancy (remember way back then?!), think about consuming 1,700-2,000 calories during the nursing period. Breastfeeding doesn’t make you gain weight – in fact, you’re burning calories when you nurse, and it helps you get rid of that extra weight more quickly.

If you are a vegetarian, you will not need to change your diet unless it doesn’t include any animal protein (vegan and macrobiotic diets). If you do not want to consume any animal products, consider taking a vitamin B12 supplement. If you don’t eat dairy products, make sure to get enough calcium. A good idea, for example, is a simple calcium supplement vitamin to support health without dairy.

The guide to how much fluid to drink while nursing is “drink to thirst”. There is no evidence to show that forcing fluids will increase your milk supply. Drinking too much water (over 12 glasses a day) can actually decrease and dilute your milk supply.

The real problem is that sometimes moms neglects themselves on occasion, often forgetting to promote their own health while they are so immersed in taking care of the baby. If you’re one of these moms, try drinking a glass of water or juice whenever you sit down to nurse your baby. Most mothers find they are thirstier when they are nursing and this is a great way to stay hydrated.

Just like “drinking to thirst”, you should also “eat to hunger” while nursing. Studies have shown that most nursing mothers tend to lose up to one and a half pounds a month for the first 4-6 months after giving birth, and lose weight at a slower rate beyond that time. They tend to lose more weight than formula feeding moms who take in fewer calories.

If you want to lose weight, plan to do so slowly. It’s best not to try to aggressively lose weight during the first couple of months after birth; during that time your body needs to recover from childbirth and establish a milk supply.

Losing weight too quickly, (more than one to one and one half pounds per week,) has been linked to the release of contaminants stored in body fat, into your milk. So, begin your weight loss program slowly when breastfeeding. Increase your activity level and eat less fat and refined sugar, and more fruits and vegetables. Try to take in at least 1,800 calories each day, and, in most cases, no less than 1,500 calories.

Even moderate dieting during lactation can help lose 4-5 pounds each month. Mothers who breastfeed frequently lose weight faster than mothers who nurse less often, and mothers who nurse for short periods of time tend to lose weight more slowly than mothers who nurse longer.

Plan to exercise after nursing so your breasts won’t be full and uncomfortable. Drink a glass of water before and immediately after exercising. If you regularly lift weights or do other exercises involving repetitive arm movement, start slowly. If you develop plugged ducts, cut back and start again more slowly.

Take walks with your baby. If you carry him in sling or baby carrier, his extra weight will burn even more calories! Weather permitting, go for lots of walks – this counts as exercise and gets you out of the house at the same time. If the weather keeps you inside, try carrying your little one while you do housework or try dancing with him. You may feel silly, but he’ll love it and so will you. Whatever you do try to make exercising fun so that you’ll stick with the program, life as a mom already has enough stresses.

In conclusion, eat a nutritious diet while you are nursing, for your sake and baby’s. Don’t worry if your diet isn’t perfect – your milk will still be fine. Although you may feel like you are “starving” when you are nursing try to eat in moderation: making sure you’re making your daily calories count.

If you’re nursing and want to lose the weight, don’t stress out. Remember that many mothers lose weight while lactating even without modifying their diet or exercise regimen. If you want to lose weight, you can lose it without radically altering diet while nursing. If you want to lose weight faster, start slowly, increase your activity level, and eat nutrient dense, healthy foods. You will typically keep three pounds of extra tissue in your breasts while nursing, so be sure factor that into weight loss goals and don’t be too hard on yourself, you’re taking care of yourself and another life.

Most of all enjoy nursing your baby, eat a healthy diet, and plan to lose weight slowly and consistently!

New Beginnings is a company after my own heart, or at least my preschool heart. I used to love my pull-toys and take them with me where ever I went, neither rain, nor sleet would separate us and while I don’t have any pictures of me and my favorite buddies, here is a picture of two of two of them, (these are not photos of the actual toys because, well I’m sure they’ve turned to dust after this many years .)

New Beginnings has come up with three cute ride-on toys complete with a lil’ pull-along pal. Three words came to mind when I thought about this great toy from New Beginnings, they were cute, sturdy, and old school. First off, the names of these oh-so-adorable ride-ons are the giraffes: Beanstalk and Lil’ Sprout, the horses: Apple and Lil’ Dumplin’ and the elephants: Trunk and Lil’ Squirt. Just by the names alone I want to buy them all!

We got to try out Beanstalk and Lil’ Sprout and Miss A couldn’t wait for me to untie all of the security twisties to get her 3 year-old hands on these guys! Now keep in mind Miss A is at the 95% for both height and weight, so she’s not your average 3 year old, but nonetheless Beanstalk’s back was in tact after several rides around the house. Although I did have to laugh because all I kept thinking was, “fat guy in a little coat,” from the movie, Tommy Boy. (If you haven’t seen the movie it’s hilarious, but that’s another review.)

New Beginnings ride on toys are recommended for children ages 1 to 3, and I think it really depends on your child because I know younger and older children that would have fun with these guys, but please use your discretion when purchasing. Even though some children may be too big or too small to ride the toys dollies make good riders, and Miss A loved pulling Lil’ Sprout around the house just by himself. I would recommend this toy to all my friends, it’s such a simple, timeless, toy and there are so many ways to play with it.

Wanna find out where to buy yours? Check out New Beginning’s website here: http://www.worldofnewbeginnings.com/ or go to their Twitter: http://twitter.com/worldofnb all three toys will be on shelves mid August to the beginning of September so keep your eyes peeled so you can get yours first.

Now tell me what was your favorite childhood toy??

Unfortunately, I’ve had the opportunity to deal with several blow-outs from both girls, which is why I carry an extra set of clothes for both Baby C and myself…because, well you never know! That’s why I love award winning Dipe ‘N Go, because you never know when you’ll need a changing station.

I installed the Dipe ‘N Go that I received, for lack of an easier word, really putting the Dipe ‘N Go in your vehicle is as easy as tearing off a strip of sticker backing. And of course after it was in my van Baby C gave me a great opportunity to use it….we were shopping at Target and I had Baby C in the front carrier and all of a sudden the Earth shook and I could tell the Dipe ‘N Go was going to come in really handy, blow out city! Don’t tell anyone but I had a few more items to get and my cart was already full so I finished up my shopping, don’t worry CPS (child protective services), it only took me about 5 minutes.

I loaded up the car, got Miss A buckled into her car seat, and prepared for my review. I love how the Dipe ‘N Go just folds right down for easy access. The 3 large pockets hold Baby C’s extra outfit, diapers, and wipes with extra room to spare and everything is right at my hand so no need to run to the front of the car or leave Baby C even for a second. I think the best part about this product is the large changing area. Most of my changing pads have come with my diaper bags and I’m not sure if a.) my babies are mammoth or b.) they just don’t make them very big. I’m thinking probably the latter, but not in Dipe ‘N Go’s case, they made their changing area large and I really appreciate that my baby doesn’t have to have half her body on and half off or be in an extremely awkward position for me to change her.

Using Dipe ‘N Go really saved me time and frustration and was easy to use with only one hand. I think Baby C appreciated the ease as well and ended up riding home, clean, fresh and happy and mommy was happy too!

Aside from my favorite things Dipe ‘N Go is gender neutral and cleans very easily, you can wipe the fabric down or throw it in the washing machine. I found Dipe ‘N Go was cheapest at Amazon.com but you can also buy yours here. Note that Dipe ‘N Go is made for hatch back vehicles with a good amount of room for baby this is not something you would want to use in a standard car. That would just be plain scary or funny, depending on the parent!

Have any funny diaper stories???

At the hospital all you see are rows of cute cherub babies wrapped like tiny burritos in the hospital blankies, most parents want to carry on the swaddling when they arrive home and Koala Kuddles is a great way to carry that on.

I’ve tried to swaddle with receiving blankets, and even the swaddler blankets but always worried that my hot blooded girls would be too sweaty, amazingly enough Koala Kuddles are made of muslin, a very light, breathable fabric often used in dress-making. You can tell the fabric is made for swaddling babies, it’s so soft and unlike some straight-jacket like swaddling blankets it allows baby to move a little.  When I first received my unwashed and washed Koala Kuddles I could tell the difference immediately and the more I washed it, the softer it got. So don’t worry if it seems a little scratchy when you first get them, I’d recommend washing at least once, if not more, before use on baby.

Another thing I really like about Koala Kuddles is that they are much bigger than your typical receiving blanket, at 39″ by 39″ even the biggest baby will fit and be cozy and comfy. Much like Little Miss A, Baby C does not like being confined with swaddling, so we stopped swaddling at about 2 weeks, but the Koala Kuddles are still great as:

- Nursing cover (when I forget mine)

- Car Seat cover, when I want Baby C to rest or not be around germy sneezing people

- And of course a lightweight blankie/or burp cloth

Not only are the 3 Koala Kuddles designs super cute, you can choose from Australian Animals, Polka Dots, or an Assortment and they come in a pack of 3. I’m all for products with multiple uses and lots of choices.

I wouldn’t really say there are any reasons not to buy Koala Kuddles except that they may be a little pricier than some of the other swaddlers you may be looking at, but if you figure you get 3 for $32.95 you’re paying about $10 per blanket, and that’s cheaper than most blankets separately.

Koala Kuddles is offering MommyB Knows Best Readers 20% off on all purchases from now through August 14th, 2010. Enter MommyB to get your 20% off right now! Great for your babies or shower gifts. Go to the Koala Kuddles website here: http://www.koalakuddles.com/ for yours.

Did you swaddle your child(ren)? If so what were your experiences?

Back to Tommee Tippee, it’s hard to believe that we’ll be going through Baby C starting solids in just a few weeks. She doesn’t seem as interested in food like Miss A was, but I’m not worried, she’ll do everything in her time. I did get a chance to test out a few products though, I like to try things out and watch things before the kiddos do, just to find out all the quirks and whatnot. When I first got the Tommee Tippee products I noticed how bright and vibrant the colors were. I received an Explora Water-Bottle, in stage 4, the 2 Explora Weaning Bowls with Lid and Weaning Spoon, and an Explora Easy Mat.

Miss A loved fun, pink, Explora Spill-Proof Sippy and so do I! Lately every single sippy we own has been leaking in my diaper bag or all over the car, I’m so over it. This Tommee Tippee cup is a breath of fresh air. It is completely Leak Proof, and has arrived just in time to give me some sanity. The spout of this sippy is rubbery, which I really like because Miss A hated the hard feeling of other sippy’s and would not drink from them when she was younger.

The cup is designed for children 18 months and up, which I agree with, I don’t think a smaller child would be ready to go from breast or bottle to a sippy designed more like a sport squirt bottle,  and even though Miss A is 3, it’s a great alternative to carrying around a regular cup when we’re on the road or somewhere I don’t want the drink to leak out. I also like the ridges on the side of the sippy that give little kids more grip. Tommee Tippy Explora cups come in several stages so check to see what is best for your child.

I was also very impressed with the Easi-mat and Weaning Bowls. The Explora mat covers a good surface, without being too large for standard high chair or booster chair trays. It sticks to all flat surfaces and I even saw on another great mommy blog that it stuck to her wall, unfortunately in our house we have textured walls, so I can’t try that one out for you, but I did try something even cooler for an awesome testimonial on how great the Easi Mat works try holding up a Step 2 table using Tommee Tippee Explora Easi-mat and Weaning Bowl, I did it and it totally worked.  That’s pretty cool if you ask me! *Make sure you wipe all surfaces (and even the bottom of the Easi-mat if you want) with a damp cloth for maximum stickage.

Even though Miss A is 3 these are still great products for older children. I slapped the Easi-mat on her table and pressed the weaning bowl into place and I don’t have to worry about the endless bowls of cereal that fling to the floor. And although A is pretty good with her bowls it definitely helps me feel better about not having to clean up more than I already do.

I never tried Tommee Tippee products before today and have to say that I honestly fell in love. I enjoy not having to clean up my diaper bag, Miss A’s carseat cup holder, change endless wet or stained outfits, or sweep and mop from all the sippy and food spills.

If you want to try Tommee Tippee now is a great time, both Babies “R” Us and Toys “R” Us sell Tommee Tippee products and best yet, today and tomorrow (July 23rd) you can buy any Explora item (cups and toddler feeding), get the second 50% off at BabiesRUs.com.

Thanks again to Mom Bloggers Club and Tommee Tippee for providing review materials, I can’t wait to go buy more for both Miss A and Baby C.

What kind of spills do you hate cleaning up??

Baby Planet Endangered Species line of Strollers have a long list of features & benefits including a 5-Point Harness, 90% Recline, Adjustable Leg Support, Easy Fold Pull Handle, and Oversize Basket to name a few. A few of the extras I always look for and come somewhat standard in lightweight strollers are carrier handles, sunshade, a big basket and weight. The Endangered Species Line come in Giant Panda, the cute one we tried out, the Monarch Butterfly in orange and black, and the Lemur Leaf Frog in a lime green and black. There are things I love about this stroller, and things that really bug me too.

I love the look of this stroller, from the metallic looking wheels to the appealing green bamboo and panda print fabric it’s something different that every mom won’t be pushing around. Compared to my other, unnamed but quality stroller, it has an amazing sunshade with a drop-down visor to give your little rider maximum shade from the brutal summer sun! Seeing that I just had Baby C 3 months ago tomorrow (wow), I’m still regaining my strength from not being able to lift post c-section, this Baby Planet Stroller is pretty light at 17.5 pounds for me.

For those of you who know me, I do not travel lightly so I need space for my humongous diaper bag, drinks, extra towels, and who knows what else I may need. (So shoot me, I like to be prepared.) Although the large basket didn’t fit my diaper bag, it definitely fits a lot more than most lightweight strollers I’ve seen. Kudos Babyplanet!

Since I’m short, my current stroller is a little harder to push around, not only are the handles a little taller, but for some reason, with my stride I am constantly tripping on the wheels. Weird I know, but I saw it in other review too. Not so with the BabyPlanet Stroller, I could push the lower handles with ease and no worries about accidentally falling over the wheels, it’s a pretty smooth ride too!

Lastly, I really like, and don’t have on other strollers….the leg rest, this puppy has 8 different positions, now I don’t know if it’s an absolute necessity for me to go out and compare to other strollers, but it sure is a nice perk. With Baby C I like that I can fold it up when she’s sleeping, since she’s still kinda small, and as she grows I can adjust to her size as she sits, rides, plays, and sleeps.

As for my quirks with the stroller, some of you may not care, but a few things I thought I should mention, that bug me personally, when looking to purchase a stroller have to do with the cupholder, canopy pocket, and instructions.

If a cup holder is not important to you then please ignore the following, otherwise I just want to take a second to complain about the fact that if i do not put my stroller in the van with great care then there’s almost a 100% chance that this external cup holder is going to break right off, at least that’s my fear, and I’m not one to want to take it off and put it on each time I get it out of the stroller, so I’d be one of those people who just did without, although it is a nice feature, if it doesn’t break off first. Here’s my disclaimer: Most lightweight strollers I’ve seen do not come with a cup holder, or come with a similar cup holder, so I may be a voice in the wind, or maybe other parents feel the same way and some day a manufacturer will change how they make cup holders for lightweight strollers.

I am a total by the book momma, and I love reading and following instructions, I know weird. My husband, DaddyB, could care less about instructions, like most daddies, so it didn’t bother him that the Baby Planet Stroller instructions were very vague. Ultimately I did get it together and figured out how to work it, but if you’ve never used a lightweight stroller I may suggest checking out someone else’s before you buy this one.

I checked out pricing online and this seems to be about mid-grade and the right pricing, depending on what store or online site you look at. I’d say it’s between a Chicco and Maclaren for price and comprable to the Maclarens for features and luxury. Overall it’s a decent stroller, the main components are either good or great and best yet, with ever sale of the Baby Planet stroller

We got this amazingly cute Giant Panda stroller by Baby Planet. Did you know that the Panda is the rarest breed in the bear family? Best of all, with every sale, a donation is made to the Wildlife Conservation Society to help protect endangered species and the habitats they occupy.

What’s your favorite style of Baby Planet Strollers?

Breast feeding my two children has been one of the most important commitments I have made to them in their lives. The emotional connection I have with them as well as the health benefits for both of us has been wonderful. It is a commitment though!  With my first child, I was very modest and discreet about nursing him. Sometimes I would even go into restrooms to nurse just because I didn’t want to feel uncomfortable. Sitting in a restroom nursing is not the most pleasant especially if they don’t have a “mothers room.” Covering him up with blankets just seemed  like it was too hot (he was born in August). No blanket or “hooter hider” ever covered me enough. I always felt like my wobbly bits were hanging out. Anyone who is a mother knows what areas I’m speaking of – your tummy, your sides and now newly huge breasts full of milk! Let’s not forget to mention the juggling act that has to be preformed when getting your breast OUT of your bra to nurse, then back IN with the nursing pad – with one hand because you still have to hold the baby right? Wait, we are sweating too right? Maybe crying too? Love those hormones!  Or how about us mom’s of toddlers and infants. Ever try chasing a toddler around while nursing? At home it’s okay – in public….. not so much.
Ahhhhhhh…. makes going out tough.

We are in luck ladies, because an ingenious mother of five, Amy Maschue, invented a simple yet very effective garment to help us all out in these moments. They are called Modest Middles and bascially it is a camisole/tank top with the neck cut out to fit underneath your bra. So bascially, you can lift up your shirt to nurse and your back, tummy and sides are all covered. My mother found this for me and sent me three. They come in nude, black, and white. I used them immediately. What a difference this makes when nursing. I did not feel uncovered at all!! In fact it has empowered me to nurse my daughter wherever and whenever. At the same time, if i need to run after my son, I can without being exposed. I’m sure people still know I’m nursing, and that’s fine with me. The point is I feel comfortable and therefore, my baby is getting nourishment from a relaxed mommy instead of a mommy who is fidgety and nervous she is showing the world her deflated tummy. Just to show you how comfortable I am, I nursed my daughter on the ‘L Train’ the other day and I didn’t even THINK about it.

The quality of these shirts are great. The fabric is light weight and breathable with a little stretch to them. I thought at first that they would be too hot under my shirt but they really aren’t at all. The instructions say to hand wash them and lay them flat to dry. I’ve washed and dried mine a couple of times (whoops! sleep delirium!) and I didn’t ruin them. The fabric does not pill and any stains I’ve had on them seem to come out with some stain remover. The shirts are made in a number of different sizes and are extra long so no matter what size you get, you are able to tuck them in or wear them out but most importantly you are covered up. The shirts are $29.99, a small price in my mind for the convenience they have provided me. When I received the “middles” it was hand addressed to me by Amy I’m sure. I always like supporting other moms so I immediately order two more.

To me these have been added to my ‘mommy must haves’ right next to the oxyclean, the Lansinoh and boppy pillow! Anyone I know who is having a baby or who is newly nursing is getting a Modest Middle from me. A simple solution for the nursing mother!

What are your mommy “Must haves?”

Storks & Signs Unlimited is a great company that was started by Jamie Hidalgo in the Fort Lauderdale, FL area, and has expanded to include areas in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, New York, California, and even Kansas!

These signs are an amazing way to help welcome  a new baby (or 2,3,4…) into the world and put a smile on new parents’ faces. One of my very close friends welcomed a darling daughter to her family this month and with the help of Storks & Signs Unlimited I was able to have a surprise sign made up in Baby C’s honor. (Yes her new baby is a C as well.)

I HAD to drive past their house and take some pictures and of course see it in person. Here’s what I saw:

and I thought it was absolutely adorable! Don’t you??? I love the cute, larger-than-life baby girl in her polka dot jammies with the teddy bear keepsake that says it all. I know personally if I had this little, er, big one sitting on my front yard when my Baby C was born, I would have felt very loved and maybe a few more neighbors would have made me some dinner, come bearing gifts, or come just to meet our sweet darling and check in on us.

Storks & Signs Unlimited also has a selection of announcement Stork signs, which are very popular, along with their one-of-a-kind Baby signs. Along with these great signs, they also offer baby door signs, balloon bouquets, and the cutest proud sibling teddy bear add-ons. Each of those cute teddy bears include baby’s name, weight, length, and date of birth and are yours to keep when you rent the New Baby Yard Display.

Not only did I get amazing customer service when I ordered the sign, all the details were correct and when it came to delivery no one even heard Storks & Signs put up the sign in the middle of the night. I even got a text when Mom and Dad arrived home, “Home now-it is SO freakin adorable!!!!!!”  Based on my experience and the reaction that it got, I would recommend this to anyone who wants to give a great, welcoming gift to new babies and parents, and if you split up the cost between a few neighbors, or family and friends it really can be a pretty economical, yet “wow-ing” gift.

Make sure you order yours ahead of time, you can place your order by phone or online and rentals can last from 7 days to 10 days. Check out all of the fun selections here: http://www.storksandsigns.com/ or call 1-866-961-7446!

What’s the most outrageous gift you’ve received?

Storks & Signs is giving away a 7-day sign rental to a local (Charlotte, NC) MommyB reader.
