Baby Bathtime With The Puj Tub

Filed Under (Baby Information) by mary on 11-05-2012

Leaning over a low bath tub with a baby is no fun at all, and even worse for the lower back. Using the sink has long been the practical choice for parents of newborns! The Puj Tub makes this so much easier. It is safe, soft and secure for baby. It definitely keeps the baby calm in its cradle like position. And for mom or dad, there’s no stress on the knees or back. We love the options of either kiwi, white or aqua colors. Their slogan says “Better for Baby, Better for Mom”, but we think dads will love this too! You can purchase this baby bathtub at a variety of retailers.

Swaddle blankets are all the rage…and my crew tells me that Aden and Anais are the coziest! So when I heard that Serena & Lily were adding their designs to these fabulous swaddle blankets, I had to check them out! Serena & Lily incorporated their own signature patterns to create co-branded blankets. The 100% natural cotton muslin fabric is super-soft, breathable and gentle on baby’s skin––ideal for swaddling newborns. But it’s also a great all-around blanket beyond the infant years––as a sunshade for the stroller, a ground cover for on-the-go changes and a lightweight layer on warmer days.

Mow there is an online tool that will help your children manage their funds. It is called Allowance Manager. We have not tried it out yet, but we are curious if you would consider a tool like this for your family? Let us know! There is more information on their Facebook site, here.

We do not often talk about food here on AList, but I feel strongly about the benefits of probiotics. And one of the easiest ways to get probiotics in your diet is through Yogurt. Dannon Activia asked us to try out their product, and we tested the 4 ounce snacks. They taste great, and the benefits are even better! Studies show that eating one of these snacks consecutively for two weeks can have great health benefits. Check out more information on the Dannon Activia site!

Road Trip With Baby

The Independence Day weekend is behind us, but many families will still be hitting the road for summertime fun. But taking baby on a road trip can be far from a picnic!

We did some research, and the experts at Parents have some tips for hitting the road with your little one. (This post is paid by Toyota via Glam Media.)

Driving to your destination is often the cheapest way to go, and taking your car gives you control over when to start and when to stop.

This summer, we will be taking our Toyota Camry on the road to Grandma’s.

The trip is about four hours long, but it will take us about five hours with the stops.

We love the Camry because it is a great family car.

It has a roomy interior and great safety ratings.

Here is some advice for how to make the most of your time on the open road.


Timing is everything: If your baby sleeps well in the car, plan your departure time to coincide with his regular nap time or bedtime so he’ll sleep through part of the journey.

Take a Break: When baby is sleeping, stay on the road. When she’s awake, plan to stop every few hours so that everyone can get out and have a break.Clean Changes: Think ahead about where to stop for diaper changes and potty breaks. When you need a clean bathroom with a changing table, you’ll usually find relatively clean rest rooms in fast food chains, large grocery chain stores, and major retailers. Give the changing table a quick scrub with a wipe, in case it hasn’t been sanitized recently.

Stick to Your Routine: If you and your baby go through a ritual before bedtime at home, go through the same motions in the car. Make sure your baby is fed, clean, and dressed comfortably (maybe even in her pajamas), use pull-down window shades to block out the sun, put on a CD of calming music….and hopefully those little eyes will start to close.

Happy President’s Day! Hopefully, many of you are enjoying the day at home with your families. We are excited to tell you about the organic Moby Wrap we received last month. The cotton is so soft! As one of the most recognizable wraps on the market, it is versatile enough to work for almost anyone. The wrap is slightly, but not too stretchy, and 100% cotton. Comfort and style…what more can you ask for in a baby carrier?

Look closely at this photograph of Caroline Kennedy’s nursery in the White House, and you will surely see a few brass tags attached to the ears of her Steiff toys. Jackie loved the classic designs and high quality of Steiff products. We adore the new line of Steiff baby toys, and today we received this musical bear from Steiff. The music is lovely, and we adore his classic features. Check out the website for more of the baby collection.
