When you are having a baby, there are so many things to consider. You read all the books and have dreams of what life will be like with a newborn. You want to protect them to the best of your abilities. You probably already know that banking your baby’s umbilical cord blood could one day help your child or a close blood relative. As you’re thinking about saving your baby’s cord blood, consider maximizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to protect your child’s healthy future with placenta banking as well.
 

Here’s what you need to know about the placenta and how you can collect and preserve even more potentially life-saving stem cells when your baby is born.

 It is Baby Shower season! I know so many people who are having babies! I'm so excited that I get to introduce them to some of my favorite baby products, some they may have heard of and some they haven't! Understanding that laundry needs for little ones change as they grow and develop, Dreft, the #1 baby laundry detergent choice of pediatricians, the #1 dermatologist recommended brand for baby clothes and a trusted brand for more than 80 years, has expanded its product line-up to better meet the different life-stage needs of babies and their families.


Dreft welcomes families to the big, messy, beautiful journey of #Amazinghood with its new line of laundry care products. Babies go through a lot of changes within their first few years, leading to different needs for different life stages - especially when it comes to their laundry. Now with Dreft's new line of laundry care products, families can focus less on the mess and more on the amazing moments they share together.

Many parents find themselves trying numerous different swaddle products to find that right match for their baby. The HALO SleepSack Swaddle’s unique 3 way swaddle feature matches baby’s sleep style right from the start– swaddle arms in, arms out or hands-to-face. As the swaddle adjusts to baby’s sleep style, baby is more likely to sleep well (meaning Mom and Dad can sleep too!). The HALO SleepSack Swaddle is also the #1 choice by hospitals for safer infant sleep.

 

 

HALO Innovations is dedicated to putting the health, safety and well-being of babies first. In fact, over 1,400 hospitals use HALO® SleepSack® wearable blankets through the HALO Safer Way to Sleep Initiative. HALO offers parents everything they need for safe sleep from our HALO SleepSack Swaddles and SleepSacks that grow with baby to toddlerhood to our best-selling HALO Bassinest™ Swivel Sleeper.

At dinner every evening, we go around the table and ask everyone how their day was. My daughter said they talked about what they wanted to be when they grew up. Here is how the conversation went:



It really is. I'm honestly not surprised by my daughter's response. She loves all things princesses. We even had a Disney Princess party when she turned 5.

Did you know this week was National Princess Week?
