For parents… by parents: A roundup of awesome baby innovations

kathleen — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 23:10:24 +0000

By Amy Bartko, BBP Blog Reporter

Have you ever bought a baby product at the store that you thought would be absolutely amazing and then got it home and realized it added absolutely no value to your life at all? I can’t count the amount of times I’ve done this! If I’d done the research before I bought it, chances are I’d have found out the product was made by some huge manufacturing company that was just looking to get something new on the store shelves and didn’t really care much about functionality.What I’ve learned over the years of working at Brilliant Baby Products is that sometimes the best products available are the ones designed by moms and dads – the original “Mom and Pop” creations! I think that’s because the products come from parents who experience a real need and create a product that fits that needs.That said – here are some of my favorite products made for parents… by parents:

	Baby BlowOut Blocker: Doesn’t it always seem like diaper blowouts happen at the worst time possible? Mom of two, Melanie Miller was tired of replacing soiled clothes, blankets, car seat covers and just about anything her daughters might have been laying on at the time of the blowout. So she got out her sewing machine and put together the first *Baby BlowOut Blocker.* The Baby BlowOut Blocker is designed to work as an extension of your standard diaper to protect against the diaper blowout mess. The Blocker is placed on the back of your baby with the waistband wrapped around the top of the diaper. In this position, it will catch any leakage that may escape out the back or sides of the diaper. Baby BlowOut Blockers sell for $12.99 each and are available at www.babyblowoutblocker.com

	Bella Binky Blankets: As a sleep deprived new mother, Jennifer McClory needed a way to keep her baby daughter happy through the night. Recognizing the soothing power of the binky, she sat down at her sewing machine and sewed the very first Bella Binky Blanket. The fashionable, soft blanket combined the security of a pacifier with the soothing comfort of a blanket is proven to quiet even the fussiest of babies. As each of her babies went through their binky years, the Bella Binky Blanket has been tested and perfected to withstand the frequent chewing, dragging and tugging familiar to every parent. .Bella Binky Blankets are sold for $20-60 at www.bellabinkyblankets.com

	Peek Away 4-in-1 Nursing Kit: Most new dads don’t take much interest when their wives nurse their babies but Glen Sanders quickly learned that nursing is a non-stop, round-the-clock commitment. When he and his wife found themselves driving two hours each way between their home and their business, they would often need to stop so she could feed their newborn son. He also noticed how uncomfortable it was for her to nurse while on-the-go so he developed the Peek Away 4-in-1 Nursing Essentials Kit. The kit easily transforms from a handbag into a travel nursing pillow with a changing pad and matching nursing cover. The nursing pillow provides just the right amount of support for baby’s head and body to ensure comfort and comes with an adjustable, detachable strap can be used to go around the mother’s waist to hold the pillow in place while nursing. The convertible changing pad comes with a built in wipe case, and diaper storage. And the no-peek nursing cover has a viewing window at the top to maintain eye contact with baby during nursing and ensure a good latch. Its oval shape also helps to provide mom with extra privacy and the large minky pocket doubles as a burp cloth. The handbag also features specialized pockets for wallets, car keys and other belongings. All of the features are easily washable. This kit is the perfect for solution for busy nursing mothers. It is sold for $46.98 at www.peekaway.com and at retailers around the country.

	PRK Products Inc: Three are in the dishwasher. Four were left out on the kitchen counter. One accidentally got left behind in the car. The daily bottle search is a common problem for busy parents and one that can really bottleneck (pardon the pun) any morning’s good start. If you think it’s hard enough to search for bottles for one baby – try doing it for three! That’s what PRK Products’ founder Paula Roeske (and mom of triplets) was up against when she first developed the PRK Universal Bottle and Sippy Cup Organizer and the Universal Baby Food Jar Organizer.Since then PRK Products has been helping busy parents stay on top of their baby’s feeding needs. Both products retail for only $24.95! www.prkproductsinc.com

	SoftBums Cloth Diapers: Sarah Van Bogart, founder and SoftBums designer, has been sewing and designing cloth diapers for more than ten years. As a mom of four, trained midwife and lactation consultant, Sarah knows how frustrating it is to have a diaper that fits badly, leaks or wears out after just a few months. The Slide²Size system is the result of years of designs and prototypes in Sarah’s quest to create the perfect one-size-fits-all diaper. SoftBums offers two choices for parents: the Omni pocket diaper or the Echo 2-in-1 diaper. Both utilize the Slide²Size system to prevent leaks. SoftBums come in a variety of colors and patterns to suit the tastes of all moms! SoftBum Cloth Diapers are sold for $21.95 at www.softbums.com

	RockABums Cloth Diapers: Sarah’s cloth diaper venture didn’t end with SoftBums. Taking what she had learned from the SoftBums work, Sarah learned that moms use many different types of cloth diapers for different reasons. Using this knowledge, she designed the new RockABums line. These innovated diapers are the industry’s ONLY one‐size‐fits-all cloth diaper with five different ways to use it. As I said, most moms buy a few of all the different types of cloth diapers as they need the different functions of them for different times of the day or different parts of their schedule. With RockABums, it’s one diaper for everyone. These groundbreaking new diapers are designed to easily transition from an all‐in‐one diaper to an al-‐in‐two diaper, a pocket diaper, a hybrid diaper or simply a diaper cover. With their edgy patterns and easy-to-change features, RockABums diapers are for everyone! More information is available at www.rockabums.com

Of course, there are many many many other parent inventions out there! If you know of a good one, I’d love for you to share it with me!

Best New Products for New and Expecting Parents

kathleen — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 22:56:43 +0000

By Kathleen Tomes, Brilliant Baby Products’ President/Editor

From car seats and strollers to swim diapers and sunblock, there’s no doubt about it – having a baby has changed a lot over the last few decades! Fortunately, many new innovations have hit the market to make it easier than ever to keep baby (and mom and dad) safe, happy and healthy.

As President of Brilliant Baby Products and Editor of our Blog, I get to see a lot of new products come across my desk but only the truly “brilliant” ones get the nod of approval. These are just a few of my favorite “latest and greatest” baby products to make parenting in this day and age easier.

The Brica Infant Car Seat Comfort Canopy

	Why it’s “Brilliant”:
	The infant car seat carrier definitely makes life easier for new parents but it doesn’t protect them from the elements and those people at the grocery store who want to reach in and squeeze their cheeks. The Brica Infant Car Seat Comfort Canopy creates a barrier to protect baby. It’s made from breathable mesh to let the fresh air in while keeping out bugs, rain, wind, and germs from overly friendly strangers. It’s innovative design works with your car seat/stroller travel systems or lets you carry your car seat with the canopy on. The large zippered opening allows for easy access to your baby. The cover also blocks over 98% of damaging UVA/UVB rays and can be tucked away in a zippered pocket when not in use. The Comfort Canopy is sold for $24.99 at Target, Babies R Us & Amazon or on the Brica website.

Peek Away 4-in-1 Nursing Essentials Kit

	Why it’s “Brilliant”:
	Today’s mom is always on the run. The Peek Away 4-in-1 Nursing Essentials Kit comes with everything a nursing mom needs to feed baby while on-the-go. It includes a nursing pillow, built in changing pad, removable wipes case and a coordinated nursing cover that ensures privacy even in public. Best of all, it’s all stored in a fashionable, easy-to-carry bag. The Peek Away 4-in-1 Nursing Kit is sold for $46.98 at various retail stores in California or on the Peek Away website.

Dolphin Organics Shampoo/Body Wash, Hypoallergenic Lotion and Bubble Bath

	Why they’re “Brilliant”:
	Babies are known for their soft, tender skin. Dolphin Organics products help keep it that way. The products are dermatologist tested and made from all natural, certified organic materials to give baby the gentle clean she needs. The fragrance free, tear free Baby Shampoo & Body Wash uses organic aloe leaf juice to gently cleanse your baby’s hair and skin without stripping their natural oils. The Norfolk Lavender Bubble Bath uses a natural blend of lavender oils and extracts to scent our gentle bubble bath with the relaxing aroma of lavender. Organic calendula and oat kernel help soothe and protect your baby’s delicate skin, but the whole family can indulge their senses with our Norfolk Lavender bubble bath. The Simply Citrus Lotion is made from a complex blend of organic aloe leaf juice, organic calendula flower and certified natural and organic citrus ingredients designed to rehydrate, protect and nurture sensitive skin. The products are sold for $11.50 – $13.50 each on the Dolphin Organics website.

Preggers Maternity Leggings

	Why it’s “Brilliant”:
	Swelling, tired legs and feet are just one of the not-so-fun complications of being pregnant. The solution is compression stockings and if you’ve ever had to buy them you’ll know that they come in two different styles: ugly and uglier. Not anymore! Fashion meets function with the Preggers Gradient Compression Maternity Leggings. Mom looks AND feels great by layering Preggers leggings with their favorite maternity tunic or dress. The gradient compression delivers a controlled amount of squeeze that’s greatest at your ankle and gradually gets lighter up the leg helping to improve circulation, prevent swelling and energize tired legs and feet. Support top expands to comfortably fit a growing belly and does not have a “Panel” making it a product you can wear before, during and after pregnancy. They’re sold for sold for $36.95 each. Go to rupreggers.com to find a retailer near you or to buy online.

Valentine’s Boxers for Daddy

	Why it’s “Brilliant”:
	New and expecting parents often have to find creative ways to keep the romance alive, especially after baby arrives. The newest product from Daddy Scrubs helps to do just that. Their Daddy Scrubs Valentine’s Boxers are sure to be a hit in the bedroom! The non-restrictive, knit cotton boxers let him celebrate fatherhood in style. They come embellished with a simple heart that reads “I’m The Daddy” and their button fly and elastic waistband makes them ideal for everyday wear – AND special occasions too! They’re sold for $21.95 each on the Daddy Scrubs website.

Solutions for the Top Fears of New Dads

kathleen — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 02:43:25 +0000

By Kathleen Tomes, BBP President & Blog Editor
Did you know more babies are born in the fall months than in any other time of the year? That means there are a lot of anxious expectant parents out there this time of year! While the last few months have been focused on the expecting mom, dad’s turn in the spotlight isn’t too far away.It’s only natural to have some trepidation about the life changes coming when baby arrives but dads, it seems, have a whole different set of fears.Top Five Fears of New Dads
1. I won’t be ready when the baby comes
	More than 80 percent of the fathers they were worried they wouldn’t be able to perform when their partner was in labor. They were afraid of passing out, throwing up, or getting queasy. Doctors say dads who become engaged in the process do better than those who sat by and watched. Get the new dad “in role” with Daddy Scrubs! These special scrubs stand apart with the words “I’m the Daddy” printed on the back and they double for extra comfort as dad supports his partner through the birthing process.
2. I won’t be able to build a bond with my child
	Many new fathers feel left out of the bonding process, especially when it comes to breastfeeding. They can’t feed the baby themselves and they envy the closeness the mother and baby share when nursing. Dad can, however, participate in the feeding process without undermining mom’s breastfeeding efforts by using specialized bottles. He can also get that “close” feeling bond with baby carriers made to adjust to larger bodies.
3. My relationship with my wife will change
	Bringing a baby into the world definitely changes the dynamics of a couple’s relationship, especially during those first few months. Both partners need to make an extra effort to make time and place for romance. A staycation is a great option for parents who aren’t quite ready to leave baby for an extended amount of time.
4. I’ll lose my “man”-ness carrying around all that frilly baby gear
	With so many fathers taking an active role in the raising of children these days, baby products are no longer made with just mom in mind! Diaper bags come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Even strollers, like this dad-friendly line made by Joovy, are designed for both mom and dad to use!
5. Can we really afford to pay for a child?
	This is one biggest fears men face and it is deeply wired into our culture. There’s no doubt that raising children is expensive (the latest estimates put total costs at around $300,000!) but th ere are plenty of ways parents can save money every day. Using cloth diapers, like the ones made by Phoenix-based Evolution Diapers, is not only eco-friendly it can save more than $1,700 in diapering costs. Parents can also save money by making their own baby food at home.
While most new dad fears are well founded, my best piece of advice for any new parent is to trust your instincts. I can’t count the number of times following my gut feeling helped to alleviate a problem for my babies (and conversely how many times I wished I’d followed my instincts when problems arose). My other piece of advice, of course, is to “like” the Brilliant Baby Products Facebook Page and we will do our best to keep you updated on the latest and greatest baby products out there to make parenting easier.

	redsnapper babyredsnapper baby onesies were invented by a new mom who quickly discovered how easy it was to mis-snap her little girl’s onesie when in a rush, thus having to do it all over again! So she added a single red snap on her baby onesies to help her snap it right the first time, every time. She then took the idea a step further. Using her background in graphic design, she began creating specialized onesies with sayings perfect for infants. Parents love the trendy onesies as much for the red snap as the snappy sayings and pictures on the front. redsnapper boasts a large line of clothing and onesies for babies and toddlers. The company offers onesies, beanies, rompers and t-shirts in infant and toddler sizes. Best of all, it’s all snapped, designed and printed in the United States.redsnapper baby onesies are sold for $20.00 each at www.redsnapperbaby,com
