Bamboo Crib Mattress Protector By #swaddlez
A crib mattress protector is essential as far as I am concerned. Keeping your baby’s mattress clean and dry plus making accidents easier to clean up certainly help’s a mother and keeps baby happy. There are three that I like this year – and the choice of which one is the best really comes down to personal preference.
The first one I recommend is the Bamboo Crib Mattress Protector By #swaddlez is a bamboo crib mattress pad that is soft, natural hypo-allergenic and has antibacterial properties.
I wanted this crib mattress protector for my newborn granddaughter. I chose a bamboo crib mattress pad because of its softness, natural hypo-allergenic and antibacterial properties. I liked that the Swaddlez brand was 100% Phthalate Free, Lead Free and BPA Free. I wanted a crib mattress protector that also fit the mattress securely enough that it did not easily come off. The fabric that the sides of this mattress pad are mad of are smooth, sturdy, lightweight and stretchy yet it fits the mattress like a glove.
The mattress pad is thick, well stitched and waterproof thanks to the added TPU membrane. I am very happy with it and so is my daughter. It is everything I was looking for in a crib mattress pad and I expect it to hold up well.

#universalcomfy Mattress Protector Pad
The second crib mattress protector I recommend is the #universalcomfy Mattress Protector Pad. The top of this mattress protector pad is made of bamboo viscose fiber terry cloth. It is free of lead, latex, phthalate, PVC, BRA and PBDEs which are polybrominated diphenyl ethers used to make mattress pads flame resistant and no chemicals are used during the production of the crib mattress protector.
I didn’t have a crib mattress protector when my kids were little. That lead to lots of scrubbing when accidents happened during nap time or at night. I am sure some of you know what I mean. My oldest daughter Sarah is having her second child in May, so I wanted to try out this crib mattress protector from #universalcomfy. I tried it out on my baby bed that I had here at the house for when the kids come to spend the night, but I intend to send the actual mattress pad protector to her.
When I opened the package the first thing I noticed was how soft the crib mattress protector felt. This is because the top it is made of bamboo viscose fiber terry cloth. It is free of lead, latex, phthalate, PVC, BRA and PBDEs which are polybrominated diphenyl ethers used to make mattress pads flame resistant and no chemicals are used during the production of the crib mattress protector. This makes me feel good about giving this to my daughter to use in my newborn granddaughters crib.
I put the crib mattress protector on the baby bed I have here at the house. I wanted to see how hard it was to get on and off. I am in my mid-forties so leaning across a baby bed mattress is not as easy as it once was. I was able to quickly get the mattress protector on the mattress without any trouble. The mattress protector slips on easily like a fitted sheet and does go far enough underneath the mattress that is is not easy enough to remove that a baby could get it off. I remember waking up and finding my kids had removed their crib sheets and were all wrapped up in them. There is no worry of that with this crib mattress protector. I did have to slightly lift up the mattress corner to remove the mattress protector but it came off easily enough for me. This is because the material that goes around the edges and underneath the crib is a poly knit material. The elastic goes all the way around the material not just on the corners.
I also tested it with my hand for noise. It made none so you don’t have to worry about that crinkling sound that some waterproof mattress protectors make waking up your baby. You also get a free ebook “Baby Sleeping” and a 100% money-back guarantee if you don’t like it. This makes me feel even better about recommending the product. I know money can be an issue for many parents – and of course, you want the best for your baby – give this crib mattress protector a try. I am sure you will like it and I can’t wait to hear what my daughter thinks of it once the baby is here!

Brooklyn Bamboo Organic Crib Mattress Pad
The last crib mattress I wish to share with you is the Brooklyn Bamboo Organic Crib Mattress Pad. I love the products from Brooklyn Bamboo – this is my third purchase – and their organic bamboo products such as this crib mattress pad are very high quality. I love the softness of it, the fact that it is quilted and the waterproof barrier is thick enough to hold the moisture in and keep it from penetrating through to your crib mattress.
The fact that this organic bamboo crib mattress pad is hypoallergenic and naturally antibacterial seals the deal for me. Babies need clean environments to thrive. I don’t want to worry about what germs might be lurking my grandbabies crib. This crib mattress pad from Brooklyn Bamboo fits a standard size crib mattress that is 52 inches long and 28 inches wide. It comes in yellow so it will work for both boys and girls. It is machine washable which makes for easy care and is Phthalate Free, Latex Free, Lead Free and BPA Free.
It easily goes on a crib mattress because of the fitted sheet style. The sides are made of fabric so they are stretchy enough that they will not easily tear. The seams are sewn together well and the elastic that they used is stretchy and keeps it shape well.
I also like that this mattress pad does not crinkle when baby rolls around. It also resists stains and dust! A great value that will last for many years as long as it is taken care of.

Wolvol Press And Crawl Inchworm Baby Toy
Entertain baby with this Wolvol Press And Crawl Inchworm Baby Toy. Talk about cute! This inchworm is beyond adorable! I love the bright colors, the cheery music and the way is scoots across the floor! This is sure to keep any baby that is old enough to crawl entertained for hours! I believe toddlers would love this toy too! The head spins around 360 degrees and flashes light when it plays music! There are tiny beads in the back wheels and the front wheels have a spiral on them. You press on the ear on one side to play music or switch between songs. It is easy to press so a young child could do this. Best of all, it comes with batteries already installed!
It also is a teaching toy which I love. It teaches sensory development though the colors, sounds and direction recognition. It teaches hand-eye coordination, motor skills by enticing your baby to crawl or chase after it and thinking development because of the casual relationship between your baby pressing down on the inchworms back and the reaction of the inchworm moving away.
I really had a lot of fun figuring out how this toy worked and what all it did.

#MaxxElite Intel-A-Temp Digital Bottle Warmer And Sterilizer With LED Display
The #MaxxElite Intel-A-Temp Digital Bottle Warmer And Sterilizer With LED Display is an essential item for any baby who uses a bottle but it does more. You can use it to heat up baby food and much more! The wide opening on this digital bottle warmer allows plastic and glass containers as wide as 3.25 inches wide to easily fit into it. For those who can, you can put a 1/2 pint jar into it. All of the baby bottles I had fit easily into it even those with odd shapes so even after baby grows up, the family can still use it to heat up lotions, oils, canned foods such as ice cream toppings and more!
The #MaxxElite Intel-A-Temp Digital Bottle Warmer is a dream come true for my home and farm. It seems there is always something – from baby bottles for both human and fur babies to lotions, oils, canned foods such as ice cream toppings, baby foods and more that needs heating up around my house. The wide opening on this digital bottle warmer allows plastic and glass containers as wide as 3.25 inches wide to easily fit into it. For those who can, you can put a 1/2 pint jar into it. All of the baby bottles I had fit easily into it even those with odd shapes.
I love the measuring cup that came with it – and it is dual purpose. Besides using it to add water to the #MaxxElite Intel-A-Temp Digital Bottle Warmer you can fill it up with bottle nippers to sterilize them. The lid that comes with the bottle warmer is a wonderful edition because it not only works great when you are sterilizing bottle nipples or other small items but it keeps dust and debris out when the bottle warmer is not in use.
The advanced smart LED display is easy to read – and it simply takes a push of a button to raise or lower the temperature. For fussy babies there is even a setting to speed up the process of warming formula, milk or food. The bottle warmer is Phthalate, BPA and BPS Free. It is easy to use too – just plug it in, set the temperature and wait for the beeping sound to let you know your item is warm.
There is also a timer function you can set so the bottle warmer will automatically begin heating up at a certain time. I really like the #MaxxElite Intel-A-Temp Digital Bottle Warmer. It is going to get a lot of use around here. This would make a great gift item for a new mom, someone who raises baby animals, cans their own foods or just has a need to warm lotions, oils or other items.
Here are the automatic temperatures and what they do:
40°C- GENTLE WARMING, Ideal temperature for room Temperature water mixed with Formula or Breastmilk(Slower Gentle Warming helps to preserve nutrients).
65°C- FASTER WARMING, Ideal temperature for Cooler Milk Stored in Refrigerator Or Jar Baby Food.
80°C- FASTEST BOTTLE HEATING SETTING, Ideal for “Express Fast Heating” 3 min bottle heating
99°C–For bottle or nipple sterilization

Lucky Love Baby Moccasins
Keep baby stylin’ this holiday season with the Lucky Love Baby Moccasins. These are leather baby moccasins and they are adorable! I bought the pink bow ones for my granddaughter who is 4 months old. They are 100% genuine leather and while they are more of a summer or indoor shoe I am very happy with my purchase. They are a soft leather so they are quite flexible but this is exactly what I expected. There is a clearly noticeable area inside the shoes where the sole and the sides are sewn together, but this is something else I also expected.
There are slits on the sides of the shoes and this is great because it makes them breathable and for an infant this is fine. The soles are soft and the top has elastic openings.
It is a classic moccasin. I am very happy with my purchase.

Premium Edge And Corner Guard from Bow-Tiger
I was amazed at the quality when I opened the premium edge and corner guard from Bow-Tiger. This is the thickest, nicest corner guard product I have ever seen. Corner and edge bumper guards are used to help prevent injuries from falls against sharp edges of furniture and fireplaces. This premium edge and corner guard is thicker and denser than I thought it would be plus it comes with plenty of tape to secure it to corners and hearth edges which is really important because it won’t do a bit of good if it falls off or is only halfway secured. It must remain in place so when a child falls against whatever it is attached to that child remains safe.
It is non-toxic, eco-friendly and child safe so even if your baby puts their mouth on it there is no need to worry!
The cream color is also neutral and the design is stylish so while guests are going to know what it is, it is not so ugly that you feel embarrassed when your adult friends come over.
