CLOSED: Sound Sleeping with Naturepedic (+Giveaway)

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

It all began when Barry Cik was on the hunt for the perfect crib mattress for his grandson. His hunt alarmed him when he realized there wasn't a single crib mattress in the market that was latex free, nylon free, chemical free, vinyl free, wool free and waterproof. Thus came the birth of Naturepedic, the first AND only mattress company that boasts of a mattress profile that's 100% natural, 100% non toxic and 100% organic.

We were given a regular crib mattress prior to Bunny Boo's birth but after I read about Naturepedic I knew we had to make the switch. Our little one's bed now cradles a Naturepedic No Compromise Organic Cotton Ultra mattress.

The mattress is

• Made from 100% organic cotton and not a patch of vinyl, pvc or polyurethane foam.
• Coated with a polyethylene coating that helps keep the mattress protected incase liquids are spilt on the mattress or a little someone has a 'potty accident' in his/her sleep.
• Well padded with unbleached, undyed organic cotton. I love how comfortable the mattress is even though it is nice and thick. As always when you need a ruler to check dimensions you never to seem to find one, thus I used 2 goodies from my kitchen pantry....a Nestle tin of cream and a Nestle tin of condensed milk. Yes, the mattress is actually as thick and padded as both tins placed on top of each other!

• Supported with a heavy duty orthopedic innerspring and coupled with the firm flat mattress surface. It provides the ideal setting for sound, healthy sleep especially for a young one's tender body.
• Perfect to combat a child's allergies as it comes with a dust mite barrier cover and is not made with any wool or latex.
• Covered with a fire protection system that has been tested and proven not to burst into flames or emit any deadly chemicals if in the eventuality that it does catch fire.
  

Yes, the Naturepedic No Compromise Organic Cotton Ultra mattress is more expensive than a regular mattress but I'd rather invest in a healthier alternative for my child than spend lower for a regular mattress and later find that my little one is not comfortable on his/her mattress or has begun to manifest symptoms of dust allergies.


This has been designed and tested by pediatricians, orthopedic specialists, chemists and engineers and has also won several awards for being an outstanding baby product. Besides being organic, I love the fact that it's also waterproof, making this Mommy give the No Compromise Organic Cotton Ultra mattress a big thumbs up plus when your little ones sleeps sound on the same, why should you consider otherwise?

CLOSED: Summer Infant's Rest Assured Sleeper (+ Giveaway)

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

If you're still figuring out what you need to get for your new baby and need more than just a little help in picking the right products, I would suggest you click on over to Summer Infant.
You will find "safe, sensible and quality products with the best features and the broadest range of selection for you and your baby".... a rich Mommy and Baby product line for choice!

I am totally pro co-sleeping. We've seen the benefits this has had with Bunny girl and without an inkling of doubt, knew that this was what we wanted to do with Bunny Boo. It was naturally a blessing when we were sent the Summer Infant Rest Assured Sleeper for review.


The Summer Infant Rest Assured Sleeper is, to put it simply, a mini bed for your infant that may be placed upon your bed to allow for safer co-sleeping. It's held together by a sturdy metal frame and surrounded by mesh netting to allow air circulation. The features only begin here..

• It has a reticulated Aircare foam pad that allows for breathability
• A removable washable pad
• It's collapsible, making transportation and storage from room to room or while traveling easy.
• The Summer Infant Rest Assured Sleeper even comes equipped with an electronics unit that plays 4 melodies, 2 nature sounds, 1 womb sound (Seriously!) and also has 2 levels of vibration to lull baby to sleep.
• It also comes with a nightlight that can be adjusted to 5 intensities of light
• It includes a 5 minute timer and
• A pocket to hold diapers, wipes and other necessities you may require for baby during the night
  

I have to admit that we're yet to attach the electronics unit and try it out with Bunny Boo in the Sleeper (We don't want him to get dependent on needing music or a vibration to fall asleep) but even minus the same, once swaddled up and fed, he's all set for night-night!

I would definitely recommend getting one of these especially if you'd like to co-sleep with your precious little bundle!

Baby Bounty Bash-Nature Baby's Organic Sleep Cocoon (Review only)

This post is a 'Baby Bounty Bash' feature...The Online Baby Shower Extravaganza on Energizer Bunny's Mommy Reports from March 25- April 25-2010.


Set up in 1998, Nature Baby has grown to become one of New Zealand's leading organic and natural baby brands.

Driven by the need to have our babies enjoy a restful night's sleep, free from chemicals and synthetics, Nature Baby developed their certified Summer Weight Organic Sleep Cocoon.


This is made from 100% pure, certified, organic jersey cotton that helps absorb baby's body moisture, allow ventilation yet at the same time keep the little 'snoozer' snug and comforted in the Cocoon.

The Summer Weight Organic Sleep Cocoon comes aesthetically packaged and protected in its very own drawstring pouch.


Price-wise it is a little more expensive than your regular sleep-sacks but then again two factors come into play...

• The Cocoon's durable fabric is made from certified organic jersey cotton and
• Is made for children to wear till they turn 2 years old. Bunny girl stands at about 3.2 feet tall and if I hold the Cocoon next to her it measures in length from her shoulders till her toes. Its that long, so just this one Cocoon will last for the first 2-3 years of your child's life. (Dependent on how tall he/she grows)

Buy it:

You can buy a Nature Baby Organic Sleep Cocoon for 68.95 US$
