Baby Blanket Sunscreen

I have recently been testing out different sunscreens and came across Baby Blanket Suncare products. I normally use natural products when it comes to sunscreen, such as California Baby or Jason's Earths Best. However, sometimes those are not always available! Especially in a pinch.

I really like the Baby Blanket Sunblock Lotion!
Baby Blanket® SPF 50+ is specially formulated with a natural UV blocker, for babies and adults with skin sensitive to sunburn. It's dermatologist tested to be non -stinging, hypoallergenic, non-irritating and water resistant. Baby Blanket ® 50+ is waterproof and keeps working for up to 80 minutes in the water.

They also have a Baby Blanket Sunscreen Stick. This works great for those extra sensitive spots such as the nose, cheeks, ears and forehead! This is also dermatologist tested to be non-stinging, hypoallergenic, non-irritating, waterproof and paba-free.

Another item worth mentioning is the best idea in sunscreen! It is the Tender Scalps Sunscreen. Your baby's scalp will be protected with this specially formulated alcohol-free spray. The convenient spray keeps you from having to try and rub lotion onto your babies head (all that hair gets in the way!) It is also dermatologist tested to be non-stinging, hypoallergenic, non-irritating, paba-free and water-resistant.

They do have a Cherry Lip Block SPF 30, that is supposed to be formulated for kids. It is paba-free, hypoallergenic and contains aloe vera & vitamin E. However, it tastes awful! Kids are always licking their lips. Protecting their little lips are definitely important, but I would find something that tastes a little better.

The Baby Blanket Suncare website has some other great products, so make sure to check it out! They have a lot of convenience products too, single use packages of sunscreen. You can purchase everything directly from their website.

Here are some tips on being AWARE of the what to do when it comes to protecting you and your baby from the sun!

Germ Guardian Nursery Sanitizer

This is a great product. I have been using the Nursery Sanitizer for about a month now and it definitely gives me peace of mind. Whenever I go out with my baby, her toys are always falling on the ground, sitting on the table when we are out to eat and being touched by everyone who picks it up. Wow, that is A LOT of germs. When I get home, I throw all her toys, pacifiers and even bottles/nipples into the Nursery Sanitizer. You simply press a button and it silently goes to work. The only problem, you have to trust that it works...because it is silent and uses no chemicals! I am a believer.

Let's talk facts:

• It is small and compact, it is currently sitting on my kitchen counter.
  
• It kills 99.9% of flu viruses, proven 99.9% effective against germs. It kills germs that cause the following; RSV, Flu & Colds, Pneumonia, ear aches, and diarrhea (E.coli & salmonella).
  
• You can place fabric toys in it, the Nursery Sanitizer will not shrink or fade colorful fabrics.
• You can put plastic and rubber items in the Nursery Sanitizer, it does not melt them.
• It is safe and natural, it uses dry heat to sanitize...NO CHEMICALS.
• It automatically turns off when the cycle is over.
• It is so quiet you will never even know it is on.

There are so many germs out there, why not be safe? Especially if your child attends day care or play groups. It takes seconds to put the toys in the Nursery Sanitizer and turn it on. The cycle lasts about 1/2 hour and when it is finished, your child's toys and bottles are clean and safe. I found this item to be a bit expensive, but, in the long run...so are those doctor's bills! You can find it on the Germ Guardian website for about $70 or at Babies R Us for about $50. I think it is worth it and could definitely be a great baby shower gift!

Twilight Ladybug

Well, my featured product has been put on hold. I have several items that I need to post about first!

Twilight Ladybug

This product is so cute! You can find it at www.cloudb.com
as well as www.barebabies.com

We found some great things about the Twilight Ladybug (there is also a Twilight Turtle.) This product is a soft, plush ladybug with a hard shell that projects constellations on your child's ceiling when they go to sleep.

1. Twilight Ladybug won the 2008 National Parenting Publications Honors Award
2. It has 3 color options that can be projected onto the night time ceiling; green, blue & red.
3. Twilight Ladybug runs on 3 AAA batteries, no cords to trip over!
   
4. Our favorite feature, it automatically shuts off after 45 minutes! This feature is great, you won't waste batteries and you won't wake your sleeping child trying to creep into the room to turn it off.
5. We thought this was a great way to help children who are afraid of the dark fall asleep. We also thought this was a great product to help prevent your child from becoming afraid of the dark. If your child is excited for bedtime because they get to look at the stars, then why be afraid!
6. Twilight Ladybug comes with a story, which is really great to read to your child (and so cute!).
7. It also comes with an adoption certificate.
   
8. Another one of our favorite features is that it comes with a constellation guide. You and your child can search for the different constellations displayed on the ceiling. You can also play a game and try and find the same constellations outside on a starry night!
9. For a night light, yes, this the Twilight Ladybug is pretty expensive. However, this is not just a night light. It gives parents and children time together at night before bedtime. It gives children a comfort in the dark, when before they did not have one. At around $34, we definitely think it is worth it.

Cloud B also has several other great products worth checking out.
