Lullabies cd

OMG - I bought this cd on the spur of the moment while out on a baby-shopping spree (surprise surprise) and am so happy I did... This Johnson's baby " Good Night & Sweet Dreams" cd just works WONDERS for my baby - as soon as I hit the play button she fell asleep  - there is something very enchanting about these lullabies. They are SO darn soothing I hold back from falling asleep with her.... You can download these charms from here http://www.johnsonsbaby.com//sleep - let me know how they worked for you!!!

The Bumbo!

No, this little contraption is not a potty - in fact it's a little seat especially designed for babies who can't sit up by themselves yet so it props them up in a super comfy position (with no harm to back!!)
Called BUMBO I think it's probably one of the best accessories I have bought for my baby yet! My baby loves her purple Bumbo and has more control when interacting with her surroundings.

As soon as your baby can hold his/her own head then the bumbo seat can be used.
I can't tell you how much I'm loving this chair! I'm also using it to feed her small meals (I sit on the floor leaning against my sofa and prop the bumbo in front of me).
It also comes with a little attachable play tray.
I bought mine through Amazon...

Nature Babycare diapers!

nappies! diapers! couches! whatever you call them - i just discovered ECO-FRIENDLY and more-over HEALTHIER diapers for babies (ie: chlorine free and no plastic!) - NATURE BABYCARE.

I didn't even realize such an option existed - naturally I started off with Pampers and my heart just sank every time I would go through a pack thinking how I'm destroying the environment!!! Make the change-over people - the plastic in commercial diapers are SO not good for your baby's skin and are totally hurting our beautiful planet! In Paris I buy them at Monoprix and Amazon.
I also bought from the same brand these little biodegradable bags for throwing away dirty diapers - (they come in a tear off roll) and wet-wips!
