What’s inside:

This is Growth Spurt Premium Toddler Formula. Now first of all I want you to know that I am not a doctor, but I can tell you what I found in my own research. The first thing that caught my eye is that it doesn’t have any genetically modified ingredients (NON-GMO’s). I personally don’t want it myself, so I definitely don’t want it for my child. It is formulated for digestive health, immune support, and brain and eye development. On top of that it has a host of vitamins and minerals for their overall health. I’ll include a picture of the label below.

The next thing I want to address is the topic of Goat Milk. Growth Spurt has taken into consideration that Goat Milk has smaller curds and so, it is easier for your child to digest. It also contains prebiotics (like human milk) that helps to provide good bacteria in the gut for intestinal health. And well, here is a video you can watch that will explain it better than I can.

And I would encourage you to watch this video as well. It goes over some of the same things, but also talks about some more technical stuff about some of the things that Growth Spurt adds to their product for your child’s health.

What’s NOT inside:

What is NOT in Growth Spurt Premium Toddler Formula: sugars, corn syrups, palm oils, and fillers. If you find these items on the label, don’t buy it. These are all signs of a cheap and a low quality product. These products add those items so that they can have a can full of powder for you to buy, not because it is healthy for your child.

What do Doctors Say?

Well I would rather you heard it straight from them, so without further ado…

In Conclusion:

Do your research and use a quality product. If you would like to learn more about this product, follow this link: Growth Spurt, This is an excellent product, and I also want to remind everyone that formula in some areas is hard to find. However, you can readily obtain this product by follow this link: Growth Spurt Premium Toddler Formula.

I also want to add that Growth Spurt was gracious enough to allow our readers to get a 10% discount by applying the discount code MOMBLOGSOCIETY10 at check out. They are good people that actually care about their product and the impact it has on your family.

It is very affordable especially when you take into consideration the quality and research that has gone into producing it. It is only 3 years of their life, but it is some very important years.

Sago mini First Words. It is an app that focuses on learning through games. They have literally hundreds of games you can access. Your child can learn new words in an enjoyable environment. They learn without struggle because they are having fun. They are playing a game which sparks their interest, imagination, and curiosity. Your child will never get bored because there are so many games to choose from. Not only do they learn the proper pronunciation of new words, but they learn how to articulate the word properly to form sentences correctly. Their communication skills grow faster because they are listening and watching you as well as being subjected to new words and circumstances in the app.

Children are naturally curious about everything. If they have never used a tablet before, they will take to it very quickly. It is a proven fact that children learn things much easier and faster than adults. But even though they learn at an accelerated rate,  to take advantage of their potential, they have to be in an environment that makes them enjoy it. If it seems hard, or unpleasant, they become stagnant and actually decide to not like learning, school and everything associated with learning. If you can make it fun, most children want to go to school and/or participate in learning. Just imagine the old days of smacking the child on the knuckles with a ruler when they got the answer wrong, and the difference between if you could play a video game to learn? Which one are you going to want to do? Exactly!!!

Some children will need guidance and help along the way. Perhaps this child is younger or is just a social person and wants company as they progress. Some children still lack confidence and want the affirmation from you that they are doing well. Your interaction will boost their confidence, and that’s a good thing! Other children will take to it immediately; needing no help at all. Each child is an individual and that’s what makes the world great!

The above video is another option to keep your children engaged in learning. It is called Sago mini World. Now, I want you to know that we have only skimmed the surface of all of the games, toys, activities, and content that Sago mini has to offer.

The things that we can do for our children (big and small), all makes a difference in how fast they develop, how confident they become as adults, and who they will eventually become. We, as parents, owe it to our children, every opportunity that we can provide them so that they will succeed as adults.

I highly suggest that you visit their website here: Sago mini First Words

BAMMAX has a lot of baby related products that you can purchase at their Amazon store, I wanted to share one of those products with you here. It is the BAMMAX Electric Breast Pump. A really great product that is for mothers that want to breast feed their baby. You can see it pictured above. As you probably already know, Mother’s milk is much better for your baby, but for today’s active moms, it isn’t always practical. You shouldn’t have to be forced to use formula, just because you have a life, a career, or just a hectic schedule.

Well the BAMMAX Electric Breast Pump is not only discrete, it’s also convenient. I thought I would share with you some of it’s features:

• A smart touch screen, it is easy & convenient to operate
• Easy to assemble and clean
• Anti-back-flow, with a closed system, keeps the milk clean
• Wireless portable pump with USB charger
• Lightweight design makes it possible to pump anywhere: at home, in the office, or when you are out
• 5 Stimulation settings and 9 expression modes, mimics the baby’s natural sucking pattern to help moms comfortably produce more milk in a shorter amount of time
• PPSU bottles: BPA Free, Drop-proof, Heat-resistance, compatible with most standard baby bottles
• Rechargeable: equipped with a 1400mAh rechargeable battery so it can be used for about 140 minutes after being fully charged

This design is great. You can use it as a pump and then remove the pump and it’s a bottle so you can feed your baby right away. Or pass it off to Daddy. Mom deserves a break once in a while.

You can pump between feedings, or more than you are going to be feeding for times when you are away. AND, … for everyone who wants to feed your baby; grandparents, your sister, Aunt Shelly, and siblings. You can’t be everywhere all the time. This helps you maintain their diet, too. Changing their diet to formula can possibly upset their stomach.

Being a new Mom doesn’t have to be scary, and you don’t have to compromise everything. Juggling all the new tasks can be easier with help. You deserve some help, don’t you think? Let BAMMAX give you a hand.

Here is where you can purchase the BAMMAX Electric Breast Pump. And here is where you can go to visit their Amazon Store.

From Nov 16, 2021 through Dec 16, 2021 they have a 15% Discount. Use the following Code : AOISKC6Y Date:

The Simshine Smart Baby Monitor will send you warnings if something is wrong. No more worrying if something is happening, the app will tell you as it is happening. Just that one feature makes it worth every penny. Peace of mind and a safe environment doesn’t even have a price.

When you’re busy and your baby needs soothing, its Simshine to the rescue. The Monitor will send you an alert whenever something is going on. And, just in case it takes you a minute to get there, this monitor will attempt to soothe them by playing music. But, the Simshine Monitor also has two way audio so you can also help to soothe your baby. Maybe your child just needs to hear your voice. And you can listen in on what is happening at any time.

The Simshine Smart Baby Monitor also takes a memory card to save precious memories so you can view them whenever you want. The camera  has a 360 degree rotation allowing everyone the ability to keep up with everything happening. I also want to say that it has an algorithm that gives you their sleep analytics so you will know just how much sleep they are getting and when.

As if you aren’t already sold on this device, I wanted to tell you that the Simshine Smart Baby Monitor doesn’t have a subscription. No monthly fees, no hassles with canceling a subscription, no time wasted setting up a payment option, nothing. It is a stand alone monitor that links to your phone via WiFi. All you need to do is download the app; an app that is 100% free, and link it to your phone. So it basically pays for itself because once you purchase the unit, that’s all you have to buy.

as always,… take care, be safe, and I hope you find this helpful…

The eyes even move as you steer it. And as they use it, they will gain leg strength. The 135 degree steering motion also reduces the risk of them falling over which could add to frustration and possibly a negative experience. They will enjoy the mobility and that will ultimately give them confidence to venture farther; confidence that helps them develop a healthy self-esteem.

XIAPIA made this bike with non-slip, non-vibration, wear resistance tires. This make it a great choice for their first bike because it will last a long time, and you can use it indoors or outdoors. Also something to note is that it doesn’t have pedals to get in the way. The carbon-steel frame construction make this bike a durable and sturdy bike.

Yee haw!

Who’s ready for a rootin’ tootin’ good time?

Whether you’re looking for western baby clothing for a dress-up party or just because it’s adorable no matter when you wear it, there are some important pieces you have to have.

Continue reading this article to learn about the cutest western clothing you need for your baby.

Girls (and Boys) Just Want to Have Fun

When you’re dressing up your little cutie, remember to keep fun in mind. You don’t want to buy stiff and uncomfortable clothing. This list below will give you ideas about the best western clothing but make sure they are comfortable when you make your purchase.

1. Boots, Boots, Wonderful Boots!

When you think about western, the first thing to come to mind is boots. If you don’t have a good pair of boots when you’re out on the range — you’re in big trouble.

Every outfit you buy is going to need a pair of boots with it, so grab a pair or two before you buy anything else. You might want to have two pairs of boots, so you can have one for play and one for dress-up.

If you think boots are just boots then you haven’t seen a boot store dedicated to only selling boots. There are a wide variety of boots to choose from — even in the tiny tot size!

2. Jean Vest

Well, howdy partner. You’re looking mighty western there with that jean vest on today. No one will be able to mistake what look you’re going for when you’re little cowboy or cowgirl has on their jean vest along with their boots.

3. Dresses Galore

Whether you’re looking for a toddler cowgirl dress or you want an infant cowgirl dress, there are so many choices. The more frills and horses the dress has, the more obvious it is that your little one is dressed up as a cowgirl.

Dresses don’t have to be fancy. You’ll find plenty of playtime dresses for your little cutie pie. 

4. Embroidered Jeans

Cowgirls always did have a flair for color and fun and embroidered jeans give you a lot of options. Whether you want embroidered horses, flowers, butterflies or some other great design, you’re likely to find it.

5. Bootcut Jeans

Can’t figure out why your baby’s boots won’t fit in their jeans right? It’s most likely because they’re not wearing bootcut jeans. Bootcut jeans are specifically made to give enough room where baby’s boots can be worn with ease.

6. Leather Belt

Does it feel like your baby’s outfit is missing something? If your kiddos aren’t wearing a belt with their pants — that’s probably it. Even if they don’t need belts to hold their pants up, leather belts are a great accessory to bring that extra flair to the outfit.

Do you want to take the belt to the next level? Sequins, honey! Sequins!

7. Patched Jeans

As you might have guessed — jeans are a staple of western wear. There’s never enough jeans in your closet when you want to look like a true western cowgirl or cowboy.

Patched jeans are a great way to fit in when you’re in the west. Whether you’ve earned the patches through years of wear or you’ve bought the jeans with patches — it’s a great look. Since your little one isn’t likely to wear their jeans for long enough to put their own holes in their jeans, you’ll probably have to buy them that way.

8. Button Up Shirts

Girls, boys — it doesn’t matter. Button up shirts (especially plaid) are a sign of a true western outfit. Green, blue, red plaid, it’s all good.

Just make sure you have lots of it.

9. Cowboy Hats

Picking up a cowboy hat off the rack isn’t as simple as that. When you want your little one to have the best experience wearing their cowboy hat, make sure you choose one that is comfortable to wear.

If you get a hat that is too big for their little heads, that’s an obvious problem but a hat that is too small can be uncomfortable as well. If you aren’t sure what size cowboy hat your little one should wear, take a shot at measuring their head so you can get the right size.

10. Overalls

You didn’t think we were going to forget about overalls, did you? Overalls just might be the cutest thing you ever put on your baby. The beauty about overalls is that they are super durable and they can keep your kiddos underclothing clean.

Wearing overalls allows you to buy a bunch of underclothing and change them out as much as you want while still keeping their little legs warm with the overalls.

Your baby can wear boots with the overalls or you might even opt for sandals if it is warm and you don’t plan on having them out in the cow pasture.

It’s Time to Get Dressed

Now you have a lot of options for getting your baby into western garb. Have fun dressing up your little one and getting all the compliments from everyone you meet.

The post 10 Must-Have Items of Western Baby Clothing appeared first on Mom Blog Society.

Sure, it’s easy to get confused, especially if you’re a first-time parent. But, it doesn’t have to be this way. You can ensure that your baby sleeps comfortably, in a safe environment.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests sharing a room with your infant for the first six months. Even then, you should make sure that you tot has his/her separate sleep surface – and that’s when a bassinet comes in handy. 

What follows is an in-depth overview of baby bassinets and why it makes perfect sense to have one.

But, first things first – what is the purpose of a bassinet?

For starters, bassinets provide a cozy, comfortable sleeping spot for your infant. Any model worth your attention should be portable and compact (but big enough to accommodate your child). The idea is to allow you to keep your toddler close as you carry on with your day to day duties.

Types of Bassinets

There are two variations of bassinets available on the market today. The classic model has a basket-shaped bed, mounted on a stand with two wheels. Some units have a detachable basket from the base. That way, you can fit the bed as per your specific needs.

Latest bassinets, on the other hand, are more versatile. In essence, this means that you can expand the purpose and function of the unit, such as converting it into a play yard. By extension, this allows you to use your bassinet as a playpen even when your baby is as heavy as 35 pounds.

Some play-style models also feature a diaper changing surface and storage compartment. 

When Can You Use a Bassinet?

Bassinets are usable by young infants and newborns. In other words, your baby can no longer use a bassinet if he/she is rolling over and sitting up due to safety concerns.  Typically, you can expect your young one to use a bassinet until he/she is about four months (even though some infants tend to use them a little bit longer).

Tip – be sure to check the weight capacity of your bassinet before buying.

Do You Need a Bassinet for Your Newborn?

YES! And here’s why;

Safety is Critical for your Infant

A bassinet is incredibly convenient, whether you’re changing a diaper or feeding your baby in the middle of the night. And the beauty of it is that you can keep the unit next to your bed. That way, you don’t have to stumble through the dark to check up on your child.

The sides of a bassinet are relatively shorter, allowing you to pick your infant up and put him/her down without much effort. On top of that, you can monitor your baby down without leaving your bed.

It is essential to mention at this point that you should look for a bassinet that offers as much convenience as possible. Halo bassinets, for instance, are ideal for C-section moms. Further, make sure that the materials are high quality and robust, to guarantee your newborn’s safety in the bassinet.

What’s more? Repeated studies show that bassinets reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by up to 50%.

It Offers a Comfortable and Cozy Sleeping Place

There’s nothing more satisfying than watching your baby deep asleep, warm and cozy. And a bassinet will provide your little champ with all the coziness and comfort he/she requires for some quality shuteye.

See, a bassinet, by design is small, providing the cocoon feeling, enabling your child to fall asleep faster. Besides, most units come with a host of accessories for added comfort. And, unlike a crib, your infant will stay close to you all night, so he/she will not feel isolated.

It Helps Soothe your Baby

One of the easiest ways to soothe your infant to sleep is if you notice problems such as crying in advance. Bassinets, at their very core, allow you to keep tabs with your little one, and by extension, enable you to make them sleep faster.

Latest models come with hanging toys and music to help soothe your child. Some have integrated vibrations and accessories to keep your newborn busy so that you can attend to other chores. Again, it is virtually impossible to soothe your tot in a large crib, even with vibration.

Moreover, research suggests that bassinets help reduce acid reflux in infants, thanks to their inclined design (babies love to sleep in this position).

Portable and Space Saving

One of the primary advantages of bassinets is that they are relatively smaller in comparison to cribs. Do you know what this means? Well, it implies that they’re an excellent choice if you don’t have a lot of space. Plus, you can assemble and disassemble your unit in a flash.

A bassinet features two wheels that enable you to move your baby from point A to B conveniently. Of course, this is not possible with a crib. Some models are portable for hassle-free traveling.

Tip – while bassinets are compact and portable, you should not use them as car seats – they will not provide safety when used this way.

Protection from Bugs and Light

Sure, you have to provide a comfortable, cozy place for your infant to sleep. You need to protect him/her from direct sunlight, bulb light, dust, and pets. So, consider fitting your infant’s bassinet with a canopy or hood to keep pets and other elements at bay. The idea is to make sure that your baby enjoys uninterrupted sleep, day or night.

See? There is every reason to invest in a high-quality baby bassinet. In fact, any parent who cares about the wellbeing for their newborn should own one.

They take 4-inch squares and create your beautiful quilt. It comes in a variety of sizes. If you ask them to, they can even incorporate large graphics from shirts and clothes. This makes a completely unique keepsake of when your babies were little. I have a lot of graphic designs I wanted to be incorporated into my quilts. So this made complete sense and made me extremely happy.

They use 100% cotton batting. The reverse is chosen to color coordinate with the fabrics of the clothes you wish to use. Each detail is well thought out. Every single quilt is unique to what you want on it. The Patchwork Bear creates this beautiful keepsake that can be kept for generations.

If you know of someone who has saved baby clothes, surprise them with a Memory Quilt Certificate! Then all they have to do is send their clothes in a box to The Patchwork Bear and get their beautiful quilt made. This is such a wonderful gift that is priceless.
