I’ve grown to love two products that lend a helping hand to the lactating girls in their time of need.

The first product I want to present is the Cushie Pushie. The Cushie Pushie is a plush little wedge which allows the breast to be pushed up while allowing your arm to provide additional support to help keep it in place throughout the feeding. The instructions explain how to use it well, however I was a little slow at catching on to them, lol. It’s one of those things that an actual picture could help, but due to the nature of the product, it’s best left illustrated. The Cushie Pushie can be really beneficial to breastfeeding mothers with a little more up there than me, but luckily I have just enough to make it work. When nursing Jayden, I tend to slouch. Yes, I know there are stools to prevent slouching. But in certain situations, like when I’m out and about, a stool wouldn’t be of much use anyway. When I slip the Cushie Pushie underneath the girls, it lifts them up so Jayden is able to latch on instantly. Me slouching down on the Cushie Pushie feels great, it make nursing even more enjoyable :-). The Cushie Pushie comes in many fun fabric colors. There’s even an organic solution for the eco-conscious mom!

The next product I want to present are Lily Padz. Lily Padz are non-absorbent nursing pads that keep breast milk off your clothes. I use disposable nursing pads, but under some bras they look crunchy. The last thing I want to do is go out into public with boobs that look like I put tissue in them. So when I pop on the Lily Padz, I have seamless nursing pads. Sometimes I can fill up a whole nursing pad, which eventually leads to leakage. With Lily Padz, the pressure they on my nipples temporarily stops the milk from leaking all together. Lily Padz are also good in situations where you don’t want to wear a bra, but you don’t want nipple imprints on your clothes. It’s a 2 in 1 with Lily Padz!

I’m sure there will be more products that I will grow to love (nursing apparel perhaps) and I will be back with an update!

Huddy Buddy (the company) was created by a mom who spent eight long years “workin’ for the man“. With the arrival of her son Huddy, she decided to call it quits with corporate life. She and her husband quickly noticed that little Huddy was dressed just like every other kidlet on the playground. That is when they decided to create some fun and unique tees for Huddy and his friends to wear. Huddy Buddy offers a new line of casual apparel for all the cool kids in the neighborhood. With the arrival of Huddy’s “buddy” (a baby sister), Huddy Buddy (the company) added girly-tees and comfy pants to the line to ensure that infants and toddlers never get stuck having nothing to wear.

Jayden is wearing an I like my milk fresh from the source. onesie from Huddy Buddy’s Little Chatterbox line. This onesie is a must-have for all the little boobie men out there! I also love, love, love the Mama’s Boy and I’m just like my dad designs. In Jayden and Daddy’s case, they’re both full of gas, lol! I don’t know who farts more!

Huddy Buddy (the company and kid) want you to feel good about your purchase. A percentage of every sale is donated to the Huddy Buddy Fund (#8100) supporting The Hospital for Sick Children. Until June 30th, part of every Huddy Buddy purchase will support the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation. Use MDB10 for 10% off all orders at Huddy Buddy!

Remember this? Check out Jayden in his Local Celebrity onesie from Uncommonly Cute. The onesie, short and long sleeved shirts are currently on sale for $14.00! He’s even posing like he’s at the club! Daddy approves of Jayden’s new onesie, definitely better than Thank Heaven For Little Boys, rofl.

Last night we gave Jayden a bath. He did really good, but of course he still cannot take a bath without throwing a fit somewhere in between. Because of this, we make bath time as quick as possible. When he throws his fits, he gets to kicking and squirming. That on top of being wet isn’t such a good combo for parents who don’t want to drop him! So, this time around I used our No Slip Charlie gloves to bathe him, while Daddy stood on the sideline as my assistant.

The No Slip Charlie is a pair of fingerless gloves designed to improve the grip on a wet, slippery baby during a bath. Made of soft poly/lycra fabric, No Slip Charlie provides the extra grip that I need without any discomfort for me or Jayden.

No Slip Charlie is accompanied with removable terry cloth wash mitts that attach to the back of either glove with Velcro for hands-free washing. The terry cloth wash mitts come in handy when trying to get in between Jayden’s little baby rolls, lol. Being fingerless, No Slip Charlie allows me to still touch him and lather his hair. The No Slip Charlie comes in 2 colors, blue and pink. One size fits all. Order now through Father’s Day and get free shipping on your No Slip Charlie!

The Tea Spot is the home of gourmet loose teas and gorgeous porcelain Steepware. I had the opportunity to try the Meditative Mind tea in a gorgeous key lime green steeping cup. Meditative Mind tea is made of full leaf white tea, rose blossoms, hand-rolled green tea leaves, and jasmine floral essence. Meditative Mind is definitely an acquired taste. I say this because I have never tasted a tea that actually tasted like flowers. You can especially taste the rose blossoms and jasmine floral essence. To enhance the flavor, I add a teaspoon of sugar. I look forward to tasting more of The Tea Spot’s loose teas and further enjoying my steeping cup :-).

Those of you who won Steeping Cups and Meditative Mind tea during our Mother’s Day giveaway, how was it? If anyone has tried other flavors of loose teas from The Tea Spot, let me know which flavors you enjoy the best.

The Tea Spot is definitely the place to go for unique tea gifts. For a late Father’s Day gift, pick up a black steeping mug and a tin of his favorite flavored loose tea.
