Covered Goods multi-use nursing cover is also a must-buy!

Founder Jamie Yetter, herself a mother of four, faced a common fear that many women have while nursing in public; the fear of being exposed!  This fear often kept her and other nursing mothers searching for a hidden place somewhere. Sometimes, it was impossible to nurse at all.  In researching available nursing cover options on the market, Yetter found none of these options offered the security of optimal privacy.  She designed a nursing cover that would not only offer all over coverage but would also allow for the cover to conveniently convert for use as a scarf, car seat cover and shopping cart cover.  Moms can truly nurse anytime, anywhere!  There is no more fear of being exposed with Covered Goods.

Covered Goods nursing covers allow for mom and baby to nurse comfortably.  The high quality covers are made from an ultra-comfy breathable lightweight and stretchy fabric.  There are no straps, rings, or cords to mess with.  The covers take seconds to put on and take off, and alleviate any worry that baby will kick or pull mom’s cover off.  The flexible neck is also designed to be able to be worn down under one arm to give mom even more freedom when nursing.  An added benefit of the flexible neck allows mom to peek in on baby or to make sure her little one has latched properly.  Covered Goods nursing covers can be folded compactly for storage and they are ideal for traveling with baby.

Covered Goods covers are available online at www.coveredgoods.com and at specialty boutiques and stores across North America.  Recommended retail: $34.99.

Here’s another great gift idea for a new Mom this Fall! A GoSili bowl! I love the colors and the quality of these! 

The Silibowl is perfect for first time feeding and food storage.  The lid of the bowl can be used as a plate and also inserts into the bowl creating an airtight seal for storage.  Simply press the middle of the lid to create an airtight seal pushing out any excess air.  By removing the air from the bowl, food stays fresh longer!   The silicone bowl is 100% food grade silicone with an embedded stainless steel ring to hold its shape.  It won’t collapse when gripped.   It’s also MICROWAVE SAFE. You can defrost and warm up food in the Silibowl.  The perfect alternative to plastic bowls!

• Plate acts as lid and inserts for tight fit
• 100% Silicone and 100% Stainless Steel Embedded Rim
• Dishwasher and Microwave Safe
• Bowl does not collapse when gripped
• 8oz

Teething can be a real pain but the MAM Cooler Teether is really helpful!

Looking for a way to put your name on your little one’s clothing?

Stuck on You clothing stamp kit is a must-buy!

This clever pack provides the perfect personalization tools so you can label by the seat of your pants. Or label the actual seat of your pants, if you so choose.

You know how it is, when you’re about to rush out the door and you hear a little voice bleating that today is swimming carnival/dress like a pirate day. How do you ensure that those hastily-assembled goods make it back home at the end of the day?

This is where this handy personalization pack comes in. The Clothing Stamps are ideal for the last-minute labeling of light-colored clothes. At the flick of your wrist, quickly and efficiently label those school shirts, hats and swimmers. For darker-colored clothing, iron the blank labels onto the desired garments, wait for them to cool down, then apply the Clothing Stamp on the labels.

Just remember to wait at least two hours before laundering the stamped/labeled garments.

How about a Teething Mitten? I just think this next product is so clever! 

Jodine Boothby launched Gummee glove, the World’s first teething mitten designed solely for babies to wear, in 2012.

However, because of its appeal and success, this has led to a wealth of copycat products reaching parents across the world.

“I have a huge amount of issues concerning Intellectual Property.”  Jodine told us.  “My business was built from absolutely nothing, my husband and I were bankrupt when we started. And it has taken 6 long years of incredibly hard work and many sleepless nights to ensure our Gummee Range met all the required standards.  Our research, development and quality control processes are rigourous.”

“Sadly we’ve found in the last few months we have been getting complaints from customers regarding inferior products because they have purchased them, believing that they have purchased a genuine Gummee glove.  Copycats within the industry have not only copied our designs but also copied our trademark and logo – despite the thousands we invested to protect both.”

“These issues have been very damaging to my business, and we are now at breaking point after years and years of dedicated struggle on behalf of parents everywhere to bring a safe and reliable product to the shelves.”

“The ease with which these often foreign companies (and particularly Chinese in origin) can just list on third party platforms is astonishing and it is happening to so many British brands. I have set up the Nursery Industry Productpreneur Association, which started as a Facebook group and is made up of over 40 British Nursery brands, all ran by hard working parents who launched genuine, authentic and original products. We have banded together to try and present a united front, and we have created social media platforms (NIPA Baby) so that we can show our direct customers who we are, and how the products came to be. We are hoping this will be an amazing platform for us to use to present our Original products to an established, informed following.”

How can parents’ avoid accidentally buying inferior untested products?

“They need to shop directly from small businesses and brands and really do their homework on what they buy for their babies especially! Independent shops are also very good places to buy from as the people that run them are often just as passionate and knowledgeable about the brands they stock as the brand owner themselves. A lot of the products are sent into the country without proof of testing on them, or information about where they are manufactured, or traceability details in case there needs to be a product recall.  I think that is most frightening…..be careful what you buy for your little ones and just do some research on the company first.   We have spent over £50k on safety testing because it is THE most important thing to us here at Gummee.”
