Eco Mom Review and Giveaway!


Eco Mom is giving one of my readers a $15 gift certificate!

Their choices of baby and mother products are phenomenal.

Eco Mom wanted me to tell you about their great new program called EcoPass. This allows readers to purchase a $99 annual membership, which provides for a 15% discount on every order, as well as free shipping with no $50 minimum requirement. EcoPass pays for itself in as few as four orders and costs only $8.25 a month.

I had a chance to review two products.

The first product I tested out is Milkmaid Tea. I had a friend of mine test it out that is breastfeeding. She told me that it really helped build up her milk supply. I had a cup myself and it smells and tastes wonderful!

It's blended with herbal galactagogues, including fennel, fenugreek, anise seed and caraway seed, and mineral packed nettle and red raspberry leaf.

When I was in a class called Baby and Me, milk supply was one of the main concerns I heard among the other new mothers. 


The second product I reviewed is called Bamboobies. These nursing pads are so soft! My pack came with 3 regular Bamboobies and 1 pair of overnights. The regular pairs are heart shaped nursing pads. 

Although I'm not nursing, I still did do a few product tests. I washed them over and over again in the laundry bag the product was packaged in. They are still so soft. I also compared them to my other nursing pads. They are not as soft as my others, and they absorbed more water over the sink.

Packaging is GREAT!
3 Regular Bamboobies
 1 Pair of Overnights
 Look How Soft They Are!

Eco Mom is giving my readers a 15% discount code that can be used now until December 31, 2010!

I'm not sure! So many awesome items. I think probably the Under the Nile fruit teethers/graspers - I especially like the grapes and banana.

Hi, I’m Robert Loopez.. new to this space. Can someone help me finda site that offers natural/ eco-friendly baby products?
I’ve found a few sites but not all their products are organic or eco-friendly, and it’s hard to find a site that has cute stuff.
