You know about the 5 S’s, right?  If you have a new baby then you need to learn them ASAP!  According to the genius Dr. Harvey Karp, author of the book The Happiest Baby on the Block, there are five things to do to get that baby to activate their calm reflux and, well, stop crying.  Do one at a time, or all five, and you will see results.  I promise. They are: suck (pacifier, bottle, or boob);  shushing (a white noise kind of sound);  side/stomach positioning in the parents’ arms,  swinging (did you register for this one?  I hope so!), and swaddling.  Which brings us to our newest product at Bediboo, which is the hot new brand of swaddling blankets by Aden + Aneis.  Aden + Aneis swaddling wraps are made from muslin, which is a very breathable fabric that allows the baby’s body temperature to adjust naturally with no overheating.  Get a 2-pack and enjoy some peaceful moments, or get this for a new parent as a shower gift and you will be the one she is grateful to at 3:00 am!

We have a whole new section in the shop for wellness products for mamas and babes. For the expectant mom we have Mommy’s Bliss Belly Butter to help keep the constant itchy feeling away and aid in preventing stretch marks; a Natural Pregnancy DVD that shows what you can do to keep healthy and fit during your pregnancy and discusses birth choices (as an added bonus there is a pregnancy yoga session at the end!). For post-partum moms we have nipple cream for some much needed comfort and Weleda Nursing Tea to help with milk production. Is baby suffering from colic, or is she just a little too fussy? Try Baby’s Bliss Gripe Water! This is an all-natural cure for gassy or upset tummies, that is pediatrician recommended and 100% organic. We also have Weleda Diaper Care that is compatible with cloth diapering (as in- it comes out in the wash). Also check out the Baby Starter Kit for a sampling of the Weleda line. As always- more coming soon, so check back for more later.
