Zen Sleep System Giveaway

categories: Giveaway

As parents we know that babies love sleeping in our embrace. Swaddling helps putting them to sleep, but many times they wake up as soon as they are put down even when swaddled. After spending 9 months in you, they especially need your loving touch surrounding them. So much so your little one sleeps better when they can feel your reassuring touch. That’s why the Nested Bean came up with The Zen Sleep System (Zen Swaddle and Zen Sack) that has been proven to increase babies sleep within 1-3 nights when using this sleep system. Now are you wanting to improve your sleep too? Looking into these bamboo sheets may be the most sleep beneficial thing you’ve done in a while.

Geffen Fitted Cloth Diaper Review

categories: Reviews

If you cloth diaper you know the struggle of the night time diaper. We spent many nights trying different options trying to figure out what worked best for us. Since my daughter was 4 weeks old our perfect night time diaper was a prefold and a super absorber insert. Well that has worked flawlessly up until now. My sweet 10 month old no longer will lay still long enough for me to get the prefold fastened. I feel sometimes it would be easier to diaper a alligator doing a death roll than it is to get a prefold on my fast moving baby. Geffens Fitted diapers have come to my rescue. I get the absorption of my prefold and it’s as easy to put on as a regular diaper.

About Geffen

Geffen baby is a company that prides themselves on being involved in every step of the manufacturing process. Starting as a Los Angeles based textile manufacturing company they saw the need for natural baby products. Geffen Baby has improved their fabric by adding more hemp, making their fabric more durable and absorbent with 60% hemp and 40% organic cotton. Geffen is proud to say that 95% of their products are made in the USA. They try to be as organic as possible in every aspect from manufacturing to their packaging. Geffen Baby makes everything including Flats, Fitteds, Prefolds, Absorbers, Cloth Wipes and Nursing Pads. You won’t ever want to try another brand once you feel how soft their fabric is.

This Mamas Experience

I love the Geffen Fitteds for more than just my night time diaper. We use them as our everyday diaper and love that we are able to reuse our covers and just change the fitted, making them much more cost efficient than AIOs or pocket diapers. I love that I can add extra absorption by layering with a quick or super absorber insert, which is what we do at night since my baby sleeps 10 hours without waking. We do use a snappy to secure our Fitteds although it is not necessary, they do require a cover to be waterproof. Prepping is easy, just wash and dry at least 3 times although they will continue to gain absorbency through 8-10 washes. The Fitteds come in four sizes fitting from preemie to 30+ pounds. I find myself reaching for my fitted diapers over any other diaper.

Once you try Geffen Baby products you will be confident that your baby is as comfortable as possible in a diaper.

These are baby products that have no choice but to be the safest because they are created keeping the environment in mind, which means no harmful substances or chemicals, no rough materials, and nothing toxic is used for their manufacture.” – From The Earth Baby

Being a fellow Christian, owner and founder Cassandra knew that her business was more than a source of income, instead it is her ministry. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord” – Col 3:23 She strives to have the most humble brand a parent can choose to buy from. “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.” – James 4:10 With many online retailers selling baby products, I really feel that From The Earth Baby stands out. Their ethics, honesty, loving kindness and sincerity take them to a level of respect I can really support.

Mama’s Experience

From the moment I was in contact with From The Earth Baby I knew there was something special about them. Kindness, easy-to-talk-to, fun, joyful…these are some of the thoughts that come to mind when thinking about my experience with From The Earth Baby. Online retailers have become a dime a dozen. They are everywhere. What makes From The Earth Baby so different and why they stand out are: their ethics, their choice of selection (organic and eco-friendly companies) and their global mission. Being a Christian myself, I love supporting another Christian companies. Knowing that they donate on a monthly bases makes me know that not only am I helping another Christian business, but a Christian family in the mission field as well. “In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” Acts 20:35

When browsing their full selection of products I was instantly impressed with the huge selection of beautiful products. I did not see one product that I would not consider buying. Oftentimes I have wanted to look for an eco-friendly product but not known where to look. I am so excited that I now have a go-to place to search for products. Being a blogger, I am the person who always gets asked the kind of questions like “What is the best organic this” or “where can I buy an eco-friendly that”. I can now confidently send my friends, family and readers to the one place I want to support: FromTheEarthBaby.com

Among the plethora of awesome products that From The Earth Baby carries, one of them is the LILLEbaby Airflow Baby Carrier.

LILLEbaby Airflow Complete Carrier

LILLEbaby makes several versions of the soft-structured carriers. The one I will be discussing here is their new, Airflow Complete.

What makes this carrier special is the breathable 3D material, which allows for airflow between baby and the carrier. In the hot summers and during extended wearing periods, you and your baby can get stuffy. By using a carrier like the Airflow Complete you give yourself the ability to feel the gentle breeze flow between the mesh-like material, cooling you down. This allows for maximum airflow and increased comfort.

I love to front wear my children up to age 1.5. Then, at 1.5 years of age, I like to wear them on my back. While both children and I still do front carries for those extra cuddly days, I like to be able to use my arms and have a more broad range of motion, therefore the back carry is best for us. This carrier allows for an easy to wear back carry. I use the ‘superman toss’ to get my child on my back.

More about LILLEbaby’s Airflow Carrier:

1. SIX ERGONOMIC CARRYING POSITIONS – Includes every carrying position without the need for an infant insert: Front-fetal, Front-infant, Front-outward, Front-toddler, Hip and Back carry. The COMPLETE grows with your child through all the baby wearing years from 7lbs to 45 lbs. The patented cupped seat adjusts to keep baby ergonomically seated in all six carry positions through every development stage.

2. LUMBAR SUPPORT – Increases comfort, maintains healthy posture and alignment, and prevents lower back strain. Combined with an extra sturdy waist belt to maximize parent’s comfort.

3. TWO WAY-STRAPS NEW! – Enables wearer to carry “backpack style” or with straps crossed on the back. Dual adjustment buckles simplify breastfeeding and adjusting straps on the go.

4. SLEEPING HOOD – Features dual adjustment points to provide tailored support for baby’s head while sleeping, sun protection while exploring, and privacy while nursing. Removable.

5. EXTRA TALL, EXTENDABLE TORSO – So comfortable your baby will fall asleep. Provides extra neck and back support and keeps taller babies secure in the carrier. The adjustable width gently cradles baby’s head. Elastic straps provide support while allowing for movement and easy adjustment.

6. POCKETS NEW! – Large zippered storage pocket, plus easy-reach pocket for storing
hood and essentials.

7. WIDE, PADDED SHOULDER STRAPS & WAIST BELT – Evenly distribute baby’s weight
for maximized comfort.

Teach My Baby Review

Mama’s Experience

My son is 18 months. He is not officially verbally delayed, but he is on the borderline of being officially delayed. Having an older sister who always talks for him, he never gives it a go and tries to talk. He gets lazy I feel. He doesn’t push himself to try to talk. I was very excited to try to use this program with him. Anything to help engage him and learn at least what the his basic words are is going to be a win in my book.

This kit is jammed packed with fun teaching tools. I am not a teacher. I am a parent. I know how to talk and help my child and how to relate to him. I can use the books, puppets, cards, blocks and puzzles in this kit to his benefit. I know that he prefers to point at each picture at his own pace. When he points to a new picture I know that means he is ready for me to tell him what it is. If I go too fast or too slow then he looses interest or gets upset. Reading your child and paying attention to their cues will make this kit not only fun but also fruitful.

My son, like many other children, loves blocks. The key feature that makes these blocks special is the mirror on each one. The blocks focus on facial features. You can point and show them your nose/ear/hair, then point to their nose/ear/hair and then show in in the mirror what their nose/ear/hair looks like. This helps in a way I never thought of. I can point to my face and their face, but until they do it for themselves and see themselves in the mirror its like another part of the brain clicks. He gets it. While he still cannot say the word ‘mouth’, now my son is slowly starting to remember where his mouth is and can occasionally point to it. These blocks are so great.

The touch and feel flashcards are another super special tool in this kit. Babies love the touch and feel books. They are engaged in the book. By drawling a child’s interest into touching the card and really focusing on the image they are using more then just the sense of vision like most flash cards. This engages them to focus in and really look at what they are touching. Everyone learns in different ways. Some by sounds, others by touch, some by all forms of their senses. I think having touch and feel flashcards is a brilliant idea.

This is a wonderful gift for this 2015 holiday season. You can pick one up at your local Toys R Us or WalMart!

Knock Nanny Review

Knock Nanny Review

Available now to purchase through Amazon

Who is Knock Nanny?

Knock Nanny is a Utah based business that started because they agree that we need to let sleeping babies sleep! Getting a child to finally fall asleep, only then to be woken by a pounding on your door or a loud DING DONG of the doorbell makes any parent cringe. You know we have practically all tried taping a piece of paper by the doorbell, but they always fall off or become unreadable from rain.

Knock Nanny knew they had to do something about this problem, and I cannot thank them enough!

What is The Knock Nanny?

The Knock Nanny is a simple plastic cover you install over your door bell. You can notify your visitors with 27 different message decals, or even design your own.

The beauty of this product is there is no drilling into your place of residence! You are able to bring it with you to your next home without any damage to the property.

To see more visuals of installation (along with videos) please click here.

There are so many options I had such a hard time picking one for my front door!

They even offer options like ‘No Soliciting’ and ‘Do Not Disturb’ for those without children but who want to enjoy the silence.

Installation

There are several ways the Knock Nanny can be installed. There is the standard method or the non-standard method. If neither of these methods are able to work with your doorbell/house there is still a way! The adhesive strips which come with the Knock Nanny are pretty spectacular. They can be used on an ‘install anywhere’ situation. Simply place the strips on the back of the knock nanny where it points towards the house. The strips are wider then the edge of the Knock Nanny, this is not a problem. It will stick to any surface. These strips are a very high adhesive strength and leave no residue left behind after removal. This allows for those special circumstance installments.

Where Can You Buy It?

the Knock Nanny is now available through Amazon!

Mama’s Experience

When I received my Knock Nanny the first thing I wanted to do was look at the stickers! There are so many unique designs to choose from. I think it’s such a great idea to have such versatile options with their product. You can choose adorable sleeping baby stickers, a request to only knock, one asking to leave packages at the door, even ones that just say No Soliciting or Do Not Disturb. This product is not just for parents with small children. Young adults trying to study for exams, average adults who don’t want to be disturbed or elderly people who may not feel up to walking to the door; all different types of people will benefit from having a Knock Nanny installed.

The Knock Nanny itself is made of a high quality material (the same stuff used in Lego’s) and it keeps both flexibility and form in extreme low and high temperatures. This is a super important feature. Living in Ohio we get well into the negative 20’s during the winter. Having this outside when those temperatures hit, I will have no worries about my Knock Nanny. The stickers are a super high quality, fade resistant and water resistant. Take that post it note signs!

Installation was a breeze! I couldn’t believe how simple it was to slide over the doorbell. I applied the double sided sticker to both sides of the doorbell. I slid the Knock Nanny onto the doorbell and pushed back. It felt super secure even though it was very smooth to install.

The message decals were easy to remove as well. Here I will show you two different decals. It peeled off clean and I was able to place the first decal back on the sheet.

The Knock Nanny really is a perfect product for anyone

Sophie the Giraffe Review

Sophie the Giraffe Review

History of Sophie

The little giraffe known to consumers as Sophie was born in 1961. At that time the only animal toys for babies and children were farm or pet animals. Monsieur Rampeau who was an expert in transforming latex from the HEVEA tree using the rotational molding of rubber as a toy-making concept, came up with the idea of designing a giraffe.

She went into production on May 25th, 1961 and she looks the same today as she did then.

She is made from 100% natural rubber derived from the latex of the Hevea tree

“Vulli, a company based in Rumilly in the Haute-Savoie Region of France, has continued to keep the jealously-guarded secret of how this wonder toy is made. Sophie is still “traditionally” produced to this day, a process that involves more than 14 manual operations.” – Sophie the Giraffe Website

Stimulating the Five Senses

Sophie the Giraffe – Chewing Bandana

Bandana’s are so in right now. They are the cute accessory we love to have our infants sport. Drooling and babies is like peanut butter and jelly…they just go together. If you are going to put a bib on your child because of drooling then you should know that all the drooling is most likely due to teething. When both of my children are teething their sinus cavities start going crazy. They become snotty little drool machines. The concept of putting a teether on the bandana is just so smart! The two just go together…like peanut butter and jelly!

This bandana come in a boy and a girl version (blue or pink). I really think either color looks great on either gender. They are stylish, functional and super fun.

They have 2 snaps to adjust the fit based on your child’s size.

These are now available for $17.18. Click here to see it on their website.

Sophie the Giraffe – So’pure Teether

These teethers are just like the original Sophie the Giraffe, only with additional material for a small child to hold on to and to chew on. The multi textured surface gives the child more stimulation then the original Sophie. These are great for early teethers.

These are now available for $17.74. Click here to see it on their website.

VTech Safe & Sound Video Monitor

categories: Reviews

VTech VM321 Safe & Sound Video Monitor

VTech has been a front runner in technology for years, so it is no surprise that they have one of the top scoring video baby monitors on the market. With awards from Creative Child Magazine, National Parenting Publications and She Knows, you can rest assured that this monitor is everything you would want or need for your family. Of course, some people may want a baby monitor that isn’t connected to the internet, and those options also exist. But, if you want to go all out, then this is the way to go!

The VTech VM321 has all the bells and whistles a new or seasoned mom wants.

Infrared Light
Talk-Back Intercom
Wall Mountable
Adjustable Camera
Full Color Video
Split-Screen Viewing
Temperature Indicator
Vibrating Sounds Alert

Packaging:

When we took it out of the packaging my husband was beyond thrilled. It was so easy to unpack! Typically with electronics and all things baby it takes 5 hours (okay I am exaggerating) to get out of the packaging. This monitor is secured in there safely but not so over the top that you need a nap after removing from the box.

Installation:

My husband had no issue installing this unit. The instructions were so simple and straight forward. No technical degree required 😉

Use:

The parent unit supports up to four total cameras to be viewed from one parent unit. Viewing modes include single view, dual view, and quad view split screen to view up to 4 rooms at the same time. I have one video monitor, so I am only going to be talking about the single screen option

I love that the temperature is clearly displayed on the parent unit. As most of us know, to help lower the risk of SIDS, a child’s room should be kept between 68 to 72 degrees. I am able to see if it is too hot or too cold in my babies room. The parent unit features a temperature alert. You can set it so that you will be notified when the monitored room temperature drops or reaches to a certain set point.

Having infrared LED in the monitor allows a clear picture when he is sleeping. I love being able to clearly see his face and that he is breathing when I am in the other room. Having the color feature makes it so much more fun to use. When lights are off and night vision is being used the screen will only project black & white. The best feature, in my opinion, is the tilt feature. You can turn the video unit in so many angels and directions that I can make sure I get the exact angle needed to see my child in my room. So many video monitors are stand still and do not offer this feature. Then you may not get a full view of the crib/desired area. The VTech VM321 gives way more versatility to the user. Hands down I would recommend this system to any parent.

The parent unit can be charged (charger included) and used hands free. It will need 4 AA batteries. I love that you can have it charged by the wall but also have the battery back up in case you forget and it runs low. You can set the sensitivity of sound, turning up and down the sensitivity of sounds coming from the monitored room. It is available in English, French and Spanish. Finally, it also allows you to have the monitor unit play lullabies in the monitored room. There are 5 lullabies to choose from. It will play on repeat for approximately 20 minutes.

HALO SleepSack Review

categories: Reviews

HALO SleepSack Review

Practicing safe sleep techniques are a huge concern of mine. When I was pregnant with my first child I did loads of research on what to do and what not to do to help prevent SIDS. SIDS is a sad, yet very real occurrence. Anything I can do to try and prevent it I will do. One of the easiest ways is to not use blankets in your child’s crib for at least the first 2 years of life. Some people choose to continue to avoid blankets for an extended time. Instead of a blanket you can use a HALO SleepSack.

Who is HALO?

HALO Innovations is dedicated to putting the health, safety and well-being of babies first. In fact, over 1,300 hospitals use HALO® SleepSack® wearable blankets through the HALO Safer Way to Sleep Initiative. The HALO family of products, including HALO SleepSacks and SleepSack Swaddles, SwaddeSure and the best-selling HALO Bassinest^TM Swivel Sleeper, help children from newborn to toddler age sleep better and safer.

What is a SleepSack?

The HALO® SleepSack® wearable blanket replaces loose blankets in the crib that can cover your baby’s face and interfere with breathing. In addition to sleeping safer, it helps babies sleep better, too. It’s a warm cuddly blanket they can’t kick off; ensuring baby sleeps soundly throughout the night.

Replaces loose blankets for safe sleep.
Recognized as “Hip Healthy” by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute.
Inverted zipper for easy diaper changes.
100% Cotton

Safe Sleep Tips:

ALWAYS

Place baby to sleep on his or her back at naptime and at night time.
Use a crib that meets current safety standards with a firm mattress that fits snugly and is covered with only a tight-fitting crib sheet.
Remove all soft bedding and toys from your baby’s sleep area (this includes loose blankets, bumpers, pillows and positioners). The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests using a wearable blanket instead of loose blankets to keep your baby warm.
Offer a pacifier when putting baby to sleep. If breastfeeding, introduce pacifier after one month or after breastfeeding has been established.
Breastfeed, if possible, but when finished, put your baby back to sleep in his or her separate safe sleep area alongside your bed.
Room share, but don’t bed share. Bed sharing can put a child at risk of suffocation.

NEVER

Never put your baby to sleep on any soft surface (adult beds, sofas, chairs, water beds, quilts, sheep skins etc.)
Never dress your baby too warmly for sleep; keep room temperature 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit.
Never allow anyone to smoke around your baby or take your baby into a room or car where someone has recently smoked.

Spring 2015 Collection

Be sure to check out the new Spring 2015 SleepSack collection Halo recently released. They are available for purchase via Amazon.com and BabiesRUs.com.

When I received my SleepSack to review I couldn’t get over how adorable the design is! We received the Blue Outer Space SleepSack for my 1 year old. Ever since he was born he always sleeps in a SleepSack by HALO. When he see’s me pull it out of his dresser he walks over to our rocking chair and knows it is now bed time. This new collection is perfect for the summer time because it’s a very lightweight cotton. With the cool spring breeze and eventually the A/C, it will keep him at a safe sleeping temperature. Be sure to order a new one for this spring today.

My first experience with HALO was at the hospital which I delivered. I was given a Halo Swaddle SleepSack. It kept my newborns safe and warm in those precious first moments of life. Parents and caregivers might not know about the many sizes and styles which Halo has to offer. SleepSacks are NOT just for infants, but for babies and toddlers too. Please remember to keep the aforementioned safe sleep tips in the front of your mind daily. Feel free to bookmark this page.

MamatheFox will be hosting a giveaway May 2015 for the chance to win (1) HALO SleepSack!

With Father’s Day only a few months away you might be stumped as what to get that dad who just loves to lay around reading Reddit, playing online while Netflix is playing in the background. WryBaby.com is stocked with items just for this kind of dad. With more ironic Snapsuits they you can shake a rattle at, I have no doubt you will click a few amazing items into your cart. With options like “LOVE ME FOR MY LEG ROLLS” and “MY FIRST IRONIC T-SHIRT” you are guaranteed to get a chuckle out of everyone when they see your baby sporting WryBaby apparel.

WryBaby now offers a perfect gift set for any expecting or new parent, the Safe Parenting Bundle. In this bundle you will receive the best selling book Safe Baby Handling Tips with spinner, along with a note from the author and a matching SnapSuit. This collection comes in 2 different options. Either a Snapsuits saying “Playing with Baby” or “Taking Babies Temperature“.

“Expectant parents are often overwhelmed–and befuddled–when it comes to caring for their bundle of joy. Luckily Safe Baby Handling Tips saves the day with its hilarious “do’s and don’ts” on baby care. Now incompetent parents everywhere can benefit from this indispensable guide–complete with a small version of the best-selling “Wheel of Responsibility” to help moms and dads negotiate baby responsibilities (and shirk diaper duty) whenever they can. Makes baby-rearing a blast!” – WryBaby

The book is written by owners Kelly and Dave. While they did not actually DO all those don’ts, they were just afraid they might! You need a healthy dose of humor to make it through most days (okay, everyday). Seeing your little one sporting a Snapsuit with the words “CRYING GETS YOU THINGS” can at least make the uncontrollable tears seem a tad more manageable. We always need to remember in those moments, “this too shall pass”.

The newest product that WryBaby has to offer is their Mysterio Predicts Your Babies Future!!! This is way cool people. When you purchase this item you will receive a muslin bag which holds 1 of 12 different possible predictions of your babies future. It’s a surprise every time. The current 12 options are:

a Soap Opera Villain
Career College Student
Extreme Coupon Clipper
Hamster Advocate
Pickle Merchant
Roller Coaster Tester
Phone Psychic
Sword Collector
Prize Poodle Breeder
Double Agent
Lottery Winner
Badminton Instructor

For your toddlers who have grown out of WryBaby clothing, they still has something for you. Their backpack collection. They have 4 different backpacks: Pirate Captain, Owl, Robot, and Elephant. These backpacks are based off of their Stuf™ brand of illustrated canvas characters. They measure 12″ x 9″ x 5″ which is perfect for any toddler.

For those moments when your babies little hands need to grab, they grab your hair, your glasses, your nose, wait! Don’t break my glasses! I need those back. No they don’t taste good, gross… let go…like a little death grip…okay now I can see again…where was I…oh yes! When you need to distract your little stinker hand them one of WryBaby’s Stuf™ Friends. They have a huge selection of funny and fun little canvas handheld friends who are perfect for tiny hands. They even have a bell inside to engage them not only by texture but sound as well. Now little one, aren’t these more fun then my glasses?

WryBaby hooked MamatheFox up with a bunch of items to review including: 2 Stuf™ Friends, a canvas characters bird backback, a Safe Baby Handeling Tips package and a “I”M SUPER” SnapSuit.

SnapSuits

WryBaby Snapsuits are not only witty but they are super cozy. As a parent we love when own kids are soft and cuddly. These SnapSuits will make us smile with joy and make your baby smile with comfort. They are 100% cotton, which is the fabric of our lives people. WryBaby is super kind to remind us to “Remove baby before washing”, good reminder, good reminder.

My kids both attend classes at a local Gymboree. We were in music class that day my son was wearing the Instruction SnapSuit. There were 2 dad’s in class that day and both loved it! It was fun with just the right amount of snark.

My son’s middle name is Superman…well kinda. It’s the letter “S”, which as any true geek knows, stands for Hope in Krypton. The “I’m Super” SnapSuit was made for a super-kid like my son. This SnapSuit is available in 0-6, 6-12 and 12-18 months. My son is super petite but tall, so the 12-18 fits him perfectly. He loves the cape! He keeps turning around to see it. WryBaby went the extra mile and has the cape not only attach at the top/shoulder area but also is fitted to the center of the babies back so it wont ride up and get tangled while playing. “Our silky-soft capes are pleated and sewn into the shoulder seams and tacked to the bodysuit in three places so it won’t ride up during intense battles.” – WryBaby

Canvas Backpack

My 2 year old thinks backpacks are the jam. She wants to be like a big kid and wear them all the time. I use toddler sized backpacks as a diaper bag, so we always have one with us. She loves to wear the toddler sized backpacks whenever she has the chance. Only problem with theses bags are that they are made for larger kids, ages 4-5. My daughter, being only 2.5 years old and very slender, has a balance issue with those backpacks. Whelp, problem solved peeps! WryBaby’s Canvas Backpacks are not only large enough to hold my diapers, wipes, sippies, snacks and wallet, but it’s also small enough for my 2 year old to wear while marching to the beat of her own drum. The inside has a handy name label. If you leave it behind somewhere the finder is able to quickly see who’s bag it is, but by being on the inside you are keeping your child’s identity safe from passersby. The shoulder straps are slim and close together, which allows a smaller child to comfortably wear the backpack without toppling over. When my husband saw our daughter wearing it he immediately noticed how perfectly it fit her. Next time I need a backback we will be ordering it from WryBaby.

Canvas Stuf™ Friends

These super modern stuffed toys are perfect for babies from newborn to toddler-hood. The soft canvas and stuffing make them fun to cuddle and squish. They have a small bell inside to engage the child audibly. The bell is soft enough so that the adults hearing it don’t want to kick it across the room but loud enough to allow that the baby shaking it enthusiastically gets that fun noise feeling still. The best part though is it being canvas, because they are super easy to keep clean! I hate when my child dribbles milk all over their cloth toy. Then I make the decision on whether to try and wash it or just toss it (will they notice it’s missing….?). No tossing in the trash thoughts with these. If a small amount of drool/milk/liquid gets on the canvas it is no problem, because it’s CANVAS! Just wipe it with a damp rag. Easy-peasy lemon squeezey.

Now that you have seen all these cool items WryBaby has to offer, head over to their website and order a few SnapSuits for yourself and your friends. Don’t forget to grab a Stuf™ Friend too!
