Using Fuzzi Bunz is the easiest way to incorporate a cloth diapering system into our lives. As oppose to other all-in-one diapers on the market, Fuzzi Bunz wash up perfect while maintaining their shape and the inner fleece air dries quickly. I love the slimmer fit of Fuzzi Buns, it’s nice to not have to try and fit a giant cloth diaper bum into little pants. The colors are so fun, keeping Bubba super cute!

Burpie Blankie Review
Posted on September 09, '07 by Sara Caplan.
Burpie Blankets are ingenious! Anywhere I take an Ultimate Receiving Blanket a Burpie Blanket is right behind. What makes these products so great? So many things. The center core of the blanket is a thick and cooshie section, with an absorbency rating that rivals any industrial paper towel. They are so great at soaking up liquids that they became my night time nursing aid. When nursing Bubba in bed I would just open up a Burpie Blanket, throw it down, lay Bubba on top, pop out my boob & side nurse him quickly and efficiently. Having the thick Burpie center provided a barrier between the sheets and mattress and the excess milk that always gushes out of new nursing babies mouths. The Burpies wash up quick and easy and never loose absorbency. For the girly mom in me I love how they co-ordinate with the Ultimate Receiving Blankets to give you a cool & organized look
The Ultimate Receiving Blanket Review
Posted on September 09, '07 by Sara Caplan.
These receiving blankets are one of my top 3 baby items, I always have a fresh one on hand. In your first weeks when you are needing to swaddle your baby these blankets are your best option. The size allows you lots of material to work with, the cotton is super soft against babies gentle skin and the great colors and designs keep even the newest baby hip & cool. The “how to swaddle” tag on the side of the blanket is a great tool for sleep deprived parents. As baby gets bigger the Ultimate Receiving blanket takes on other jobs. Being larger in size they allow you to use them as regular blankies to throw in the stroller. For breast feeding mamas they are an easy solution to providing privacy when you are nursing out in public. As Bubba has gotten bigger his blankets have become a security aid and a play toy. The Ultimate Receiving Blanket is a must have for traveling and diaper bags as it easily serves as a quick changing pad, playmat, boob hider, entertainer, head stabilizer & spit up savior. I could never have enough of these!
Ellaroo Mei Hip Baby Carrier Review
Posted on September 08, '07 by Sara Caplan.
Being vertically challenged (5’2” on a good day), petite and really short waisted my journey into the world of “baby carrying” was a frustrating and horrid one. More then anything I wanted to be able to carry Bubba right next to me and experience the ease & functionality of baby carrying. However, with every sling and wrap I tried on I had the same problems - too much material, too long of a baby & too short of a mama. So for the first 7 months of Bubba’s life we used a Baby Bjorn, which was the best product for all of my issues. As my man got bigger & became more of a monkey he decided he preferred me to cart him around on my hip, and after doing so for a couple of hours I realized that I needed a little help with the situation. His weight on my lower back in the Baby Bjorn was beginning to become very uncomfortable and with his new position I set out on a new challenge - to find a side hip carrier. There are many different brands/types out on the market that claim to help you with side carrying your bambino. The Ellaroo Mei Hip carrier is the only one worth considering and purchasing. This product is a jackpot, dealing with and fixing all of the issues the other brands create. It works great on the hip providing baby a cozy secure place to ride along. It’s soft straps and panels are gentle against mama’s skin. It is easy to get on and get baby into, an important point as some designs are intended for people with 5 arms.The are no clips or buckles against your back to dig into you, something every other carrier seems to design. The Mei Hip carrier comes in a collection of fabulous colors and prints it is nearly impossible to just pick one. I am so impressed with the durability & functionality of this product, it has let me continue to carry Bubba around which not only eases my lower back but also my heart. Everyone should give this product a try.
