Baby K'tan Baby Carrier
This baby carrier is much easier and quicker to use than the traditional wraps, as it is ready to wear and takes only a few steps. It can be be worn in several different positions - even accommodating twins, taking the place of different types and styles of carriers.
It works really well for breastfeeding and supports deeper bonding with baby and helps with emotional and physical development. The weight is distributed better than many of the other carriers out there, making it easy on your back and super comfy for mommy and baby, while providing lots of support. Trust me, all baby carriers are not created equal and once you try the Baby K'tan you will agree.
This carrier can hold up to forty pounds, so it is perfect for newborns and infants. The K'tan can be monogrammed and personalized for the baby and comes in five different sizes and a variety of colors. It is easy to wash, dry and take care of and did I mention it is affordable. A K'tan will cost you anywhere from fifty to seventy dollars each.

Tranquil Turtle from Cloud B
Hurray for the Tranquil Turtle. This is one of the coolest products I have seen in awhile, so unique, fun and useful. Tranquil Turtle is designed to soothe your little ones to sleep at night and is suitable for all ages. My husband loves it, often wanting it turned on for his afternoon nap - LOL.
The hard turtle shell projects blue, underwater effects in the room, while playing either a soothing melody or ocean sounds, requiring three AA batteries that are included. The effects are completely stunning, creating the perfect environment for meditation, sleep or just relaxing. It has a timer on it to turn off automatically after twenty three minutes, another feature that I love. Sometimes I will allow the time to tell me that my yoga session has ended, allowing me to put a child to bed, while conducting my evening yogi rituals.
I find this product to be extremely effective in helping the entire family to fall asleep, especially newborns and infants. I am going to have to invest in a few more tranquil turtles because everyone in the house wants their own. It is the perfect addition to a baby nursery and the perfect gift that keeps giving as the child grows up. A Tranquil Turtle costs around $54.95.
Pros
Hypnotic
All ages
Plush, huggable
Batteries included
Adorable
Cons
Only available in two colors - Aqua-Marine & Amethyst

Udder Covers - For Nursing Mothers
I never knew the power of a boob, but whip one out and see what happens - LOL! Nursing covers are a must-have these days, especially in certain environments. I would love to be on Blue Lagoon island just as much as the next romantic, but for many women (myself included) breastfeeding in public is uncomfortable. Breastfeeding makes other people around you uncomfortable, more than you might be aware of. I must honestly admit though of my own deep seated modesty, a virtue said to come from the angels.
A nursing cover allows you to nurse discreetly, and saves the energy you normally would give to worrying about "boobs and stuff" for bonding with your baby, something that there can never be enough of. There are lots of nursing covers to choose from on the market these days. The reason I am so hooked on the Udder Cover is because they are really comfortable, easy to wash, stylish and work well to create a one-on-one environment with baby because it provides privacy between the two of you. For myself, eye contact is priceless and I can see how my baby is feeling when nursing and baby can see me. Many of the other nursing covers do not allow you to see baby easily. The fabric is very lightweight cotton and does not heat me or baby up, the way some of the other covers did and folds up nicely in diaper bag or purse. It makes the perfect gift for showers and new moms in the hospital.
I received the gift set from Udder Covers. It includes a print nursing cover, 2 pairs of Udder Covers 5 ply washable breast pads and Black Milk Bands nursing bracelet. The breast pads are so soft and absorbent. I have not really used the nursing bracelet yet. My baby lets me know when it is feeding time. My breasts let me know whose turn it is.
Pros
Stylish
Design makes it easy to see your baby
Fits easily into purse or diaper bag
Light and airy, does not feel like a blanket
Variety of styles available
Cons
A two pack is a nice option ... Although currently not available

Atlas 2-IN-1 & Cinch Wrap
Getting your body back can be tough even for the healthiest of pregnancies. Gone are the days when you would have to do a million sit-ups, a zillion crunches and hours of yoga a day to get your pre-preggo body back. I was introduced to belly wrapping years ago, when studying the different cultural labor and delivery methods. The ancient art of belly wrapping has been done for centuries in certain cultures to help women regain their pre-pregnancy waist lines naturally. It can be difficult and time consuming to practice belly wrapping though, without a seasoned understanding of the science.
A growing number of women in the western hemisphere of the globe are now binding following childbirth thanks Charlene Williams, who has designed these revolutionary belly wraps. These products have worked for me ... almost like a miracle ... a Godsend to many mothers out there. When mom feels good about herself, she will be happier and pass this vibration onto baby. Happy mother equals happy baby. It is that simple. No one else has belly bands like this. The Anew belly bands typically cost anywhere from $50 - $100.
The Atlas 2-IN-1
A transitional band that is a pregnancy band with a postpartum accessory band. The Atlas is easily transformed into a full post-pardum band, back support and hip-shaper. Your recovery to your pre-baby body begins before you even give birth during the third trimester. It comes with a cold/warm compress that you can insert into pocket for soothing the lower back. It is easy to adjust the size and fit, giving great support making it super comfy. Adjustable,your Atlas will shrink right along with your waist.
Pros
Use while pregnant and after delivery
Back support
Hip-shaper
Cold/warm compress option, compress included
Easy to adjust
Cons
Comfort levels differ for all women
Not as luxurious as the Cinch Wrap
Cinch Wrap
The Cinch Tummy Wrap postpartum wrap is also a hip-shaper and back support. It is made with luxurious sheer fabric and makes me feel so glamorous when I where it. If you have already given' birth, you will want to start with the Cinch, but if you already have an Atlas you will not need one. This Cinch is recommended by doctors and midwives worldwide.
Pros
Back support
Hip-shaper
Made from luxurious sheer fabric
Cold/warm compress option, compress included
Easy to adjust
Recommended by doctors
Cons
Comfort levels differ for all women
Cannot use while pregnant
My prediction is that the Cinch will soon be given to all new moms by hospitals across the globe. For more information please visit http://thebandspecialist.com.

Love & blessings to all the new mothers out there.
