7/3/2017

Master Pop up Beach Tent
Cost $80

POP UP BEACH TENT / SUN SHELTER - For kids & family. Sets up in seconds - no assembly, UV Protection SPF 50+
Built-in zippered door.
RAIN & WIND RESISTANT EXTERNAL SHELL - Perfect for lighter camping as well as sunny days on the beach. This was a godsend for us on our Myrtle Beach Trip with my 4 month old. I was worried about my baby getting sunburn or not being able to nap, but this turned out perfect! It gave us the proper shade needed to keep the sun out, good ventilation, and when the storms rolled through the wind and rain picked up and the tent sustain a light shower as well. We embraced and enjoyed the shelter through each weather change while using this item. It was worth every penny.
Thanks, Mom!

Spectra S1 Breast Pump (Hospital Grade) Cost $132.00

My spectra breastpump came in within 3 days after I ordered it. The Spectra S1 and S2 are often referred to as the “Cadillac” of breast pumps. They are hospital grade pumps but carry a very affordable price tag, making them a standout in the breast pump market. When choosing between the two pumps, it really comes down to what you will be using it for. If you plan to pump while traveling, working, etc... The S1, is worth the upgrade. Having the battery option can be a lifesaver in situations where you need to pump with no access to power like camping or during hurricane season. With my older children, I self expressed and used the medela. After much of my own personal research and reporting I can say the outcome has been productive and positive! I first encountered a personal review from two of my clients raving, (one with twins). The outcome of my decision came down to choosing this pump instead of the medela. In the past I have used Medela and can actually say that Spectra is my breastfriend. With that being said, if you are wanting to know how you can get your own, ask your provider and medical insurance to see if you qualify. My husband is active duty and I have Tricare Standard and I got my pump along with some other goodies for FREE with not having to pay a deductible at all. So go check to see if you qualify to order a pump today!

Cozy Cover Eazy Seat
Cost $24.99

The Portable Easy Seat is a safe, comfy and convenient companion for on-the-go parents. You can easily take it anywhere you go including restaurants, family holiday gathering out of state or any place you'd normally need a high chair. This item is for baby's six months or older and up to 35lbs. Has a five-point harness that is secure. It quickly folds up and fits into a purse or diaper bag for simple transport. Flexible back with adjustable straps allows the Easy Seat to work on a wide variety of chairs and is machine washable.

Items that will protect your baby from sunburn on a beach or pool day...
Mineral based sunblock with Zinc Oxide is the best kind. I've personally used Babyganics SPF 50 plus, a skid proof UV long sleeve shirt and bucket hat protected my baby for up to 8 hours. He was also under the beach tent too! I purchased my sunscreen at Target and paid $12.99 for an 8oz tube.
Additionally while traveling by car, train or plane. You may want to take extra wipes, diapers, clothes and ziplock bags. You never know when traveling delays will occur or when your baby has an accident. No one wants to travel around with dirty wet clothes or mix them up in their diaper bag. So being prepared is always important and to your own benefit!

FED is BEST! Traveling by Breast OR Bottle-feeding...

If you plan on traveling by plane. Bring a good water-tight cooler, plenty of ice packs, and all your empty bottles or breast milk storage bags. Your freezer packs and breast milk storage containers may be more than 3 oz. Declare them at security, even when they are empty. Ask the TSA agent to change into clean gloves before he/she inspects them. You can bring as much baby food or formula through the airport security checkpoint as you think you will need (you still need to remove it from your bag so that it can be seen by TSA agents,) but note that agents may open any containers over four ounces. Here's TSA links t their protocols & rules:
