Personalized Totes for Mom

If you’re like me, you don’t always have the patience to organize and carry around a diaper bag (even though some of them are adorable!). My style is to put all of my stuff in a tote bag and bring it along, regardless of where I’m going. I can put my wallet and keys as well as my daughter’s spare clothes, snacks and books.

They are great for taking to the park or to the beach and allow plenty of easy access (for you AND your child).

With mother’s day coming up, I think a personalized tote bag would make for a wonderful gift (really, for ANY occasion!). Available in many colors, a tote bag can be used FOREVER and can simply be work over your shoulder!

Bellacroft Explains Co-Sleeping

Click here to view larger image

Many parents prefer the method of co-sleeping when their baby is born because it is both convenient and comforting. Unfortunately, co-sleeping can seriously harm your infant if you don’t do it safely.

Many young parents, as opposed to older parents, may not even give co-sleeping the time of day; it could be unsafe and it disturbs your own sleep and privacy. If there is a chance of bringing your baby in with you through the night, it’s best to have all of your bases covered so your co-sleeping experience is safe and enjoyable.

There are many wonderful benefits to co-sleeping: extra protection for your baby (when in safe conditions), more sleep for you and your baby, no-fuss night feedings, improved bonding, but again, all of these are meaningless if you aren’t practicing co-sleeping safely.

Luckily, there are many resources for parents that want to safely give co-sleeping a try!

Safe Co-sleeping Options:

The #1 choice for a safe co-sleeping options is the Arm’s Reach bedside Co-Sleeper. This is a bed that fits to your bed and provides all of the benefits of co-sleeping and removes any of the dangers. Added benefits are: no-fuss night feedings and you can react timely if your baby is in trouble - like breathing or heart rate problems.

Added co-sleeper benefit: when the time comes to transition your baby from co-sleeping to his/her own crib, they are already conditioned to sleeping in their own area. This simplifies the transition as the baby is already comfortable.

Arm’s Reach Co-Sleepers are available in a variety of styles and colors and can also be used as play-yards when not in use as a co-sleeper!
