Go Graham Go! |

I have found a new favorite for baby showers...Bummas! Bummas are to be used after the wipe and before the dipe! These wonderful, super soft, cloths literally soak up all of the moisture! I wish I had known about these about 20 months ago!




Graham has some pretty bad eczema on his bottom. We have been using Aquaphor like crazy! Before Bummas I would fan or try to dry him off with one of his wash cloths. He just wasn't getting very dry and the Aquaphor was having a hard time clinging! The first time I used the Bumma I was amazed! I simply pressed the Bumma on and held it for about 3 seconds and that was it! Dry as a bone!






For smaller babies these are wonderful to use instead of powder. If you have a baby boy, they are also wonderful "protection" when changing diapers!



Why We Love Them:
*One Bumma can hold an entire pee!
*Help fight diaper rash
*Eco-friendly
*Prevent unwanted "squirts" when changing diapers
*Can be used over and over again
*Helps save money on diapers, powder, and ointment
*Adorable colors!
*Made in the USA

Bummas retail for $16.99 and you receive 10 in a pack! Considering that they can be used over and over again and there are how many diapers in a day? You do the math! What a great alternative to those products which "cover" privates in case of sneak attacks. Bummas serve that purpose as well as many other!

Bummas is offering free shipping for all economy domestic orders for the rest of Dec 2008!

When I came across Natural Creation while surfing for organic baby products I knew I had to try them out! This Victoria based company offers products that are ALL hand made in small batches to ensure quality and freshness! The products are also vegan. The aromatherapy products are carefully made from 100% pure herbs, base oils, and essential oils and are free of synthetic perfumes, colors, and preservatives!



Graham has sensitive skin so I try to be extremely careful about the products I use on him. Any product that has direct contact (lotion, oils, creams, etc.) I have to be careful about. Not to mention that he has this bad habit of licking lotion off of my hands as I am putting it on! He even tries to eat it out of the bottles! Eeeww!





I had the opportunity to try out the Sweet Baby Massage Oil and it is fantastic! Not only does it smell great, but it feels wonderful and actually helps soothe! We had just arrived home from our 5 hour trip out of town. Graham was not winding down, and then I remembered the oil. I used it after a nice warm bath. Graham was literally drifting off as I was rubbing him down with this wonderful oil! Also, I found a benefit that was not included in the description, as I was massaging Graham, my sinuses were opening up from the wonderful aroma! I would say that this could be useful when your child has a chest cold as well! "Its soothing blend of essential oils have been known to ease colic when massaged gently over the abdomen, and toothache when added to a relaxing bath."


I also had the opportunity to try out the Cheeky Baby Bum Balm which smells absolutely wonderful and was just the right consistency (not thick or pasty)! "This Balm is soothing and helps prevent, and reduce diaper rash."






Natural Creation not only carries the wonderful products for babies, but also wonderful products for pregnancy, labor, postpartum, and something for everyone! The founders, Chelsea and Emily, are extremely talented people that even offer doula services in the Victoria area!

Over the summer Graham caught a virus from his dear friend Claire. We were on vacation together and they constantly shared the sippy cups. This virus did not produce a fever or cold symptoms...it only produced dirty diapers, if you catch my drift! This "virus" lastest 20 days! Graham's back side was so bad that I was cleaning him off in the bath every diaper change. I happened to see an advertisement for Boudreaux's Butt Bath in a magazine and decided I had nothing to loose. I love it! Not only is it great for when skin is extra sensitive, it also smells wonderful! You can use it any time and it works as shampoo as well. It is PH-balanced, non-irritating, tear free and is made with peruvian balsam oil. You can pick up a 13 oz bottle at most stores for a little over $4. This was a must when I was constantly bathing Graham! Right now you can receive a free sample of Boudreaux's Butt Paste (diaper rash ointment) by visiting this site: http://www.blairex.com/BLButtPaste.php.

Just a side note: Something else a friend told me that was helpful for when babies have the going problem was Lactinex. It is sold behind the pharmacy counter but you do not need a prescription. It is a live bacteria that can be mixed in with their yogurt, applesauce, etc.
