Safe and soothing mom and baby bath products
Looking for safe, natural products for you and your little one? The Mama Moisturizer Stick is only the latest in a long line of healthy lotions and potions from Breathe Natural Bath and Body Products. The Canadian company was launched last year by Jill Breugem, who began making her own natural products for friends and family as a hobby. "I'm a mom first and wanted to make sure my family was using products that were gentle, safe and better for the environment," she says. Made with natural ingredients and essential oils (no synthetic fragrances, colors, phthalates or parabens here), you'll find everything from Baby Oil and Baby Wash to our favorite, the Baby Bottom Salve, which is great for diaper rash and dry skin. There are lots of great products for moms too, including the new Mama Moisturizer Stick with cocoa butter and Vitamin E, guaranteed to soothe your skin even if you're not expecting. www.breathenatural.com
A comfortable–and compact–pregnancy pillow
If you'd like a little support while you sleep, but don't want a pillow that's so big it threatens to bump your husband from the bed, we've found the answer. Utterly Yours has created a compact new pregnancy pillow that's as easy to use as it is comfortable. Founder Anita Jamshidi designed the pillow during a high-risk pregnancy with her fourth child. "I needed to sleep on my left side for optimal blood flow, but I just couldn't get comfortable," says Jamshidi. She developed a pillow with two small triangles, a patterned side made with dense foam to support the lower back, and a softer solid side to support the belly. "Unlike other pregnancy pillows, it provides some movement," says Jamshidi. "You don't become entrapped."
