Get Ready For Bath Time with Gerber Childrenswear (Giveaway)
Getting the kids in and out of the bath can sometimes be a chore. I don’t know about your kids but mine refuse to get into the tub. However, once they’re there they don’t want to come back out. *sigh* What’s a Mom to do?
For some, bath time is a part of their bed time routine and Gerber is here to offer some helpful tips to make this a pleasant experience for everyone.
Tip #1: Bath time isn’t all about getting clean. It’s also about having fun and bonding with your baby.
- Set a time every night that’s just for bathing so you and baby stay on schedule. That’s important early on!
- Bath time can also be a wonderful daddy/baby bonding experience after a long day at work. You’ll look forward to it and so will baby!
- Make sure you have all your bath time essentials within reach before starting so you can give baby all your attention. Bath wash, washcloths, hooded towels, Onesies brand one piece underwear, sleepwear, gown, cap and booties.
Tip #2: Establish a bedtime routine with your baby. You baby will feel more relaxed, likely to go to bed easier and fall asleep more quickly if you establish a nightly routine from the time he/she arrives home. Bathing a newborn baby is very soothing, so making it a part of the bedtime ritual is important. Be sure to have all your Gerber essentials within arms reach during and after bath:
- Washcloths for cleaning
- Hooded towels to swaddle them when done and keep the chill out
- Sleep ‘n play outfits to easily slip o and keep them cozy warm all night long
Once you are done with the bath, diaper change and dressing, it’s not storytime in the nursery rocking chair. You’ll soon find that bedtime is a special time for parents to create that special bond with baby.
I’ve always liked using hooded towels on the girls because they’re made just for little ones. Gerber sent us a 2-piece bath set to review which included the hooded towel and a wash cloth.
Both are made from 80% cotton and 20% polyester terry cloth for breathable comfort. I know we could just as easily use our own towels on the girls but they really like the idea of having one that’s made just for them. The bright colors, happy characters, and lightweight material are perfect for helping me to get them out of the tub.
I really liked that the colored bias was double top stitched. This will ensure that the towel will keep it’s original shape. We also liked the cute bear embroidery and the coordinating colors that were used. However, what makes this towel different (in the eyes of my kids) is the hood. For some reason they think it’s hilarious to have a hood covering their wet hair with the rest of the towel wrapped around them. Hey, whatever gets them out of the tub, right?
So stop by the Gerber website to view their bath sets as well as the rest of their product line which includes shower gifts, cloth diapers, outfits, bibs, and even organic items.

FeverAll for Infants and Children (Fever’s All Better Giveaway Incld. $20 Babies R Us GC))
I’m a firm believer in stocking my medicine cabinet with items that will help my girls feel better when they are sick. After all, there’s nothing worse than dragging a sick child to the store while you read medicine labels, talk to a pharmacist, and stand in line at the cashier’s station.
That being said, giving medicines to my younger girls can sometimes be a nightmare. They always tend to put up a fight and I end up with medicine on their clothes and on their faces. Of course, now I have no idea how much of it they actually swallowed and how much more I should give them.
Well, it looks like FeverAll has come up with a solution.
FeverAll is the top national brand of acetaminophen in suppository form. For more than 30 years, parents have relied on its accuracy and ease of use as a solution for fighting fever and pain in infants or children who can’t or won’t take a full dose of liquid acetaminophen orally.
FeverAll Children’s Strength (ages 3-6 years) and Jr. Strength (ages 6-12 years) formulas are also great alternatives for children who are unable or unwilling to take a full dose of acetaminophen orally, due to vomiting, or have difficulty swallowing due to physical or medical conditions. With FeverAll®, parents can be confident that their child has received the exact dosage of acetaminophen required for their age every single time. At less than one-inch in size, FeverAll is smaller than other acetaminophen suppositories, which makes it easier to administer in infants and children.
Acetaminophen dosing for children has never been simpler or more accurate. No more measuring, struggling with a feisty toddler or worrying if your child swallowed the full/proper dose because they’re spitting up or vomiting. What’s more, FeverAll® Infants’ Strength (ages six to 36 months) is the only infant acetaminophen product available that has dosing instructions on the label.
FeverAll is available at major retailers and drugstores across the U.S., such as Rite Aid, Walgreens and Walmart for a suggested retail price of approximately $7.00 for a package of six suppositories. Learn more about FeverAll at www.Feverall.com.

I really like the idea of knowing that my girls will get the exact amount of medicine prescribed for their age and weight. I also like that there are no more sticky messes all over their clothes, the bed, and their faces. And I really like that FeverAll won’t interfere when the girls are already feeling nauseated.
So stock up on FeverAll just in case your child gets ill in the coming months. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that you’re prepared.

The 2012 London Olympics with Pampers & Kerri Walsh (Giveaway)
The 2012 London Olympics will be here before you know it and Pampers is teaming up with two-time Olympic Games Gold medalist (Beach Volleyball) and Team USA athlete, Kerri Walsh, to help introduce Limited Edition “USA” diapers and wipes, which will be hitting shelves this April.
I never realized how physically active babies actually are until one day I was walking behind Kacie & Kaila and noticed that Kaila had to take 2 steps for every 1 of Kacie’s just to keep up with her. After that, I started watching her throughout the day as she ran (not walked) everywhere around the house – up the stairs, down the stairs, into the kitchen, out the front door, etc. Boy, if I ran everywhere I would be exhausted!
As a proud member of the Pampers Baby Board, I recently received an amazing “Spirit of Play” Packs which was put together by Pampers and Kerri Walsh personally. This pack came complete with must-haves for a play date at the beach with little ones:
- Sports duffel bag
- Box of Pampers Limited Edition “USA” Diapers
- Pampers Splashers diapers
- Infant SPIRIT OF PLAY shirt
- Signed mini volleyball for baby toss
- Beach shovel and pale
- Pampers Wipes
And since we live in Hawaii, we’re always looking for fun things to play with while in the water or on the sand. The signed mini volleyball is perfect for little hands while the beach shovel and pail comes in handy when making sand castles.
And don’t forget the Pampers Splashers diapers for those little ones (like Kaila) who are not completely potty trained yet. It’s always a good idea not to use regular diapers while in the water (I learned this the hard way) since it will absorb a lot of water and become very heavy. Of course, once your child is back at the picnic area the Limited Edition “USA” Diapers would be a perfect way to keep your baby’s bottom dry.
Start gearing up for the 2012 London Olympics and proudly show your support for the home team with Kerri Walsh & Pampers!
