I was lucky enough to try some bamboo clothing for baby K from Bamboosa. Bamboosa makes clothing out of bamboo fiber blended with organic cotton for everyone in your family. The material is so super soft, it is hard to tell it isn’t silk! Bamboo is also anti-bacterial, breathable and biodegradable and Bamboosa uses eco-friendly dyes and 100% recycled paper in their packaging.

Bamboosa has an adorable assortment of products for your baby. Everything is super soft, easy to wash and is perfect for baby’s skin. I love the products so much I have to order the fine jersey sleep slip for myself as well as crib sheets for my little one.

Bamboosa is a sweatshop-free company, and all its clothing is produced in a factory in Andrews, South Carolina. Why it took so long for bamboo to be a resource in making clothing, I am not sure but I will be purchasing bamboo clothing from bamboosa for my whole family. This is great for my older son who has very sensitive skin.
If you are looking for a baby gift idea, check out their great baby gift sets or purchase a gift certificate for a new mom or as a gift for anyone on your list. You will not be disappointed with bamboo clothing or Bamboosa.

The bioME 5 Animal Alphabet Project was created by two architectural designers who are inspired by the visual learning processes inherent in all children. They have recently launched a line of infant wear. Their new onesies, sized 3-6 months and 6-12 months, are shrunken down versions of their popular toddler tees. You will feel great dressing your kids in this line of environmentally friendly clothes, they are made with 100% certified, undyed and unbleached organic cotton made in sweatshop-free facilities in the U.S. Their packaging is environmentally friendly also, your items come in biodegradable plastic bags that take less time to biodegrade in the landfills.

Now for the fun part, each shirt teaches children about the animals that are printed on their shirt along with the corresponding letter. Each name of the animal is The reading theme printed upside down so the child can read their own shirt easily. How cute is that?

We have the jaquar onesie for baby K and he looks so cute in it. It washes well and it is super soft. These shirts come in sizes 3-6 month up to 6T. I think they run a little small so if you are in doubt, I would buy a size up. The baby is a little young to read but my older two love to read the upside down letters on K’s shirt. I am going to have to buy them each one because they love animals and they love K’s shirt.

Both the original tees and the new onesies include large letters and exciting animals in vibrant colors. Both the short sleeve tees and the onesies retail for $32, and shipping is free on online orders. Hurry, right now the long sleeve tees are 50% off!

With my newest baby I am not looking for quantity of clothing, since we are already busting at the closets with the other two kids, but quality. I want clothing that is soft for my baby and earth friendly. A few choice pieces is great for us, as we all know how quickly babies grow out of clothing! The great people at Kate Quinn organics were nice enough to send me a few pieces of clothing for my baby and I am in love.

Kate Quinn organics makes stylish clothing and they are made from the finest 100% certified organic fabrics. The clothing is super soft, and made from all-natural, organically produced cotton certified by Control Union Certifications. Plus, all the clothing has been certified Fair Trade.

They don’t just offer baby clothing, they have accessories and clothing for toddlers as well. They also offer blankets and hooded towels. If you are buying a gift and are not sure about the sizing, they now offer gift certificates.
Plus women’s clothing is coming soon! I can’t wait for that.

I love this clothing for my children and I know you will too. It washes well and holds up to a busy baby. Although, I do suggest buying a size up because my son is only two months old and almost out of the 3-6 month size onesie.

There are many cute things for girls these days. Of course, everyone knows it is easier to buy clothes for a girl then a boy, it just seems like there is more out there. When you find something cute, you have to stick with it because you don’t know where you will find it again! Baby Bling is one of those things.

Bling Baby has great * bling* items for boys. The great people at Bling Baby sent my son a cute onesie with his name in bling. It is adorable on and we love it. They also sell hats, pacifier clips and burp cloths with bling on them. I may be biased though, because I love personalized items for babies and kids. Get a shirt with your child’s name on it or their nickname.
They don’t just have items for boys though, check out all they have for girls. These shoes alone make me want to have another baby!
Go get your baby some bling!

I am not a fan of a lot of shirts with sayings on them for baby and kids. A Tee with “my mom is better then your mom” is really not my idea of cute on a child. It seems these shirts are everywhere now and I see my share of them on the playground. That is why I was so happy to find dreamkids.ca.

Dream Kids was created by a mom and child development expert to celebrate and inspire our children. They were nice enough to send me one of their most popular onesies and I love it. Not only is “Here to change the world” the most perfect saying for a shirt on a newborn but it is soft and very well made. These are perfect for infants to toddlers sizes 3-6 months to 6T.
Buy one for a new baby, birthday or shower gift and you will be asked by all the parents where you got it!

When babies learn to walk we all know how unsteady they are. We make sure they have a clear path, we baby proof everything within their reach and we make sure they are as steady on their feet as they can be. That is why Grippies are a great product for all parents.

I always buy socks with grippers on the bottom, but now that my kids are bigger they are harder and harder to find. That is where Grippies come in. Grippies can be put on socks or tights and give kids the traction that they need. They are machine washable and easy to apply.
These are not just for kids either, I would love them on some of my slippery heels and my mother was looking for just this thing for my Grandmother when she was in a nursing home.
Try them for yourself!

Lastly, who wouldn’t want this tee shirt? You can actually write on the front with chalk and it is machine washable. It even comes with chalk! Let your child show the world how (s)he feels today. Order one for your child and one for a gift at these prices!

I wanted to potty train my kids in the summer for obvious reasons, I knew there were going to be accidents and I figured the less clothes they had on the better.
Of course, they were not ready to train in the summer but as soon as it turned cold and grey here in New Jersey the kids were all ready and able to learn to use the potty.
I wanted to keep them warm but not sweat me out of the house at the same time. I bought the kids these baby leg warmers.

Not only are they adorable but they kept my children’s legs warm and I didn’t have to pull any pants down in our rush to get onto the potty.

After they were potty trained they worked very well with all of my daughter’s skirts and we even did a little flashdancer tribute and put them on over some stretch pants.

They are a good idea for babies learning to crawl also, no more bruised knees!

I love to support mom owned businesses and when I come across one that I think has amazing products, I like to scream about it from the rooftops. That is what I found with Babybam.

Jody a mom who has two children with a milk allergy and sensitive skin was frustrated with the lack of “cute” and “pure” apparel on the market for infants. She did her own research and came across bamboo a natural hypo-allergenic and antibacterial fabric. It is soft and doesn’t shrink like cotton.
I received a bamboo and cotton pajama that may be the softest baby pajama I have ever felt. It is natural in color using no bleach or dye and has their catch phrase on the front, dream, believe, giggle. Baby Bam also offers towels, washcloths, onesies, pants and organic soaps for baby.
