KidzMed VeraTemp Non-Contact Thermometer Review and a Giveaway on My Other Blog!

I am hosting a giveaway for one of my Planet of the Apels readers to win a KidzMed VeraTemp Non-Contact Thermometer! Just click here to enter.

American Scientific Resources sent me KidzMed VeraTemp™ Non-Contact Thermometer to review and giveaway.

Fever:

I took my babies temperatures a few times a day at different stages just to know what their normal temp was. When something seemed off I knew what their temp should be. They have no way of telling you that they are not feeling good other then to be fussy. If you are ever concerned, call your doctor right away! Many offices have an on-call nurse for in the middle of the night concerns.
  
If I knew something like KidzMed VeraTemp™ Non-Contact Thermometer existed when my kids were babies, I would have gotten one! I'm so glad to review and give one away!

Reading Body Temperature:

1. Choose Centigrade or Fahrenheit.
2. Press MODE until the word Body appears in the display.
3. This is the cool part! With the thermometer positioned about 2 to 3 inches, or about 3 fingers width away from the forehead, press the SCAN button. The temperature is displayed instantly.

What we like about KidzMed VeraTemp™ Non-Contact Thermometer:

• My son likes that he doesn't have to put it in his mouth for it to read his temperature. You can take their temp without waking them up from a deep sleep.
• This is super cool: It has multiple uses. Sure it takes your child's temp. It also takes the nursery, formula, breastmilk, bath and food temps as well!
• It is pediatrician recommended.
• It has automatic shut off. 
• The package comes with instructions, batteries and a small bag to put your thermometer in!

Go here to win one!

A Mom and Her Baby - One Year of Breastfeeding

One year is quite an accomplishment! Check out Carla's blog!


Congrats to Carla and happy birthday to Hannah! Read all about their journey on Carla, the Bubblelush’s blog and YouTube channel, and get inspired.

Club Foot

My nephew Emerson was born with a club foot. This is harder to fix on it's own then bowed feet. Bowed feet can happen with any baby.

He just got his foot cast yesterday. No bones are broken. They just massage the foot to bend it; then cast it.




I got to sign Emerson's cast yesterday.

Bowed Feet

I had problems with my youngest having bowed feet/leg. In particular the left foot/leg.

Kids can get this from being in the womb. Basically they position themselves with the curvature of Mommy's belly. Their feet form to that curve. I was told by our pediatrician, "Don't worry about it. His feet will fix themselves over time."

He ended up going through teething and was really off balanced. He literally tripped over his own foot and ran smack into my sister's coffee table. We had to take him in to get stitches in his forehead.

Later we saw a different pediatrician to get Isaak's stitches out. Our doctor was not in the office that day. He told us to see an orthopedic doctor. The orthopedic doctor wrote us out a prescription to get special shoes to wear. I was freaking out! I was thinking my son would have problems with walking, running and was worried about the cost of special shoes. They basically looked like they were on the wrong feet. They were supposed to mold his feet back to being straight. Cost: $100, that insurance company does not cover. Insurance believes that all special foot ware is cosmetic. Therefore they won't cover the cost.

We went in for a check-up back at our pediatrician. Our doc said that those shoes do nothing to fix their feet. It's actually better to let them run around barefoot or in soft shoes like Robeez. We went back to wearing shoes like these:

Found here.

Today my son Isaak is now 3 years old. His feet look just fine.

You can find more information out about bowed feet here.

What is DHA? - Do We Need it?

DHA is something that is added into some milks and formulas. I always knew it was a good thing.

According to this website, DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a long-chair polyunsaturated omega 3 fatty acid. DHA accounts for about 97 percent of the omega-3 fats in the brain and 93 percent of the omega-3 fats in the retina. It also benefits the heart.

By taking it, it strengthens the brain, eyes and heart. Just like calcium is essential for building strong bones.

DHA is found in cold water fatty fish, such as salmon. It is also found in fish oil supplements, along with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Vegetarian sources of DHA come from seaweed.

A study was just done where med students added DHA into formula to see if babies would pay attention to pictures and computer screens longer. They did.

If your child is given cows milk, try and get one where it is rich in DHA. Talk to your pediatrician about adding DHA into your child's diet.

Give to Operation Smile

 

Operation Smile is a nonprofit organization that focuses on healing children's smiles. They look into safe, effective reconstructive surgery for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate.

Some children are born unable to socialize, speak, eat or smile because they have a cleft palate.

Image found here.

My oldest child was born with a cyst under his tongue. This made his tongue deformed. They told me my son may never talk or eat. I'm thankful he does both just fine. Operation Smile is a nonprofit organization that I can relate to.

Donate to Operation Smile here.

A company called Campus Book Rentals proudly donates to Operation Smile. Rent a college book for 1/2 the price of buying a book. Campus Book Rentals will then donate some of that cost to Operation Smile.

Myths and Facts About Breastfeeding

There was an article in the Living Section of the Omaha World Herold Newspaper on August 29th called Myths and Facts About Breastfeeding. It was written by: Katy Healey.

Myth: There is no way to know if the baby is getting enough milk.

Fact: There are several ways to know if baby is getting enough milk at the breast: Swallowing is heard, the baby is relaxed after feeding, it has adequate wet and soiled diapers and adequate weight gain. After breastfeeding, a baby should act satisfied and not continue to exhibit feeding cues or mouthing motions that typically indicate hunger.

Myth: Moms don't make enough breast milk.

Fact: Moms who breastfeed regularly and frequently will supply enough milk, assuming the baby latches on properly. Milk supply may decrease if milk isn't being removed from the breast. If it's not removed, it's not going to be replenished. Sometimes medical conditions do affect milk production. Contact a lactation consultant for more information.

Myth: Modern formulas are the same as breastmilk.

Fact: Modern formulas are very different from breastmilk. Breastmilk is made specifically for human babies, and therefore is the most easily digested and the nutrients are readily absorbed. Formulas are made from cows milk and plant derivatives and do not contain the immunologic properties that protect babies from infection. 

Myth: Breastfeeding is painful.

Fact: Breastfeeding can be painful if baby is not latching on properly. The baby's nose should be aligned with the nipple so when baby opens his or her mouth wide, the nipple goes to the roof of the baby's mouth. If it is painful to breastfeed, contact a lactation consultant.

Myth: Moms who have infections should stop breastfeeding.

Fact: Mothers do not need to stop breastfeeding with most infections. In fact, breastfeeding while mom is sick provides babies with extra protective immunities specific to that infection. Seek advice from a lactation consultant if there is any question.

Myth: Moms on medication cannot breastfeed.

Fact: Most medications are compatible with breastfeeding, especially if it is safe to take during pregnancy. There are some medications that should not be taken, but often there are others that can be substituted. Seek advice from a certified lactation consultant or physician to determine safety.

Myth: Mothers must wash their nipples before breastfeeding.

Fact: Mothers do not need to wash their nipples prior to breastfeeding because doing so can remove the beneficial oils that are secreted from Montgomery glands.  The Montgomery glands are small pimple-like structures around the areola that produce oil that lubricates the areola and nipple and discourages bacterial growth. Daily rinsing with warm water while bathing is sufficient.

ecomom - Baby Samples Review and $15 Giveaway!

ecomom sent me some baby samples to review. They have of 2,000 healthy, smart and safe products for babies, kids, moms and dads.

These are the products they sent me:

My sister and I have both tried their Earth Mama Angel Baby Organic Milkmaid Tea. It tastes good, smells wonderful, helps boost breastmilk production and is caffeine free. ecomom sells a variety of their teas: For different stages in pregnancy, heartburn and No More Milk for mamas that are weaning.

My sister has had huge issues with breastfeeding my newest nephew since he has Trisomy 18. Her nipples are sore a lot. She uses Earth Mama Angel Baby Natural Nipple Butter.  I love that it is ok for both mom and baby. I never knew that with some nipple creams, they are unsafe to digest. With this brand there are literally no worries. It is 100% natural plant-based nipple cream, made with out lanolin to safely soothes, moisturize and protect sore nipples.

I had the great opportunity of trying out Kiddo - Hellomellow Avocado-Mango Butter Body Massage Oil on my nephew Emerson and cousin's baby Alex. They both were calmed and soothed. I rubbed their feet, backs and tummies. If you give your baby a tummy rub, rub in a clockwise motion. The oil is made with bergamot, chamomile and sweet orange infused body oil. I thought they had a hint of citrus to them when I was done.

Kiddo - Hellomellow Diaper Rash Bumbutter is a great diaper rash cream. Mainly because all the ingredients are pure! They include: Avocado, mango butter, essential oils of bergamat, orange and chamomile.

I'm so excited to get and try out Episencial Soothing Cream for eczema, itched and bothered skin! My youngest son Isaak has eczema issues on his scalp right now. I've managed to get the symptoms to decrease. He had scratched it, so I put this cream on the places that are scabbed over. It really didn't make his hair greasy looking like most products do. It's free from additives, has probiotics in the cream and is BPA free.

ecomom 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.

Does Your Baby or Child Have Eczema?

We've struggled off and on with baby eczema on our boy's scalps. I've tried so many shampoos, oils and lotion products.

First off I should begin with the fact that many kids get eczema because they are allergic to certain foods. Cows milk is a hug culprit. If you think your child may be allergic to cows milk and is getting eczema, try another kind of milk. Rice and almond milk are great alternatives!

I've also read here that babies can have an overload on antibiotics. That may be a big reason why doctors have chosen to do away with antibiotics for most ear infections.

My boy's got lots of antibiotics when they were babies because one had meningitis and the other had a life threatening staph infection. My boy's don't seem to have problems with foods, but sometimes flair up in the heat with baby eczema. I blame the antibiotics that saved their lives for their eczema issues. I truly believe that my two son's have to be healed from the inside out. Creams and oils don't do that.

The best way I've dealt with this problem:
It doesn't go away over night!

• Get a good probiotic! 

This puts the good bacteria back into their systems. Antibiotics takes away both good and bad bacteria. Probiotics put the good back in. They are ok for anyone to take.

Look for the cultures to be listed on the container. Walgreens has some for kids, but I noticed that they didn't have the cultures listed. Also get it in a powder form, so it can be mixed in with food or drink. I wanted one that was refrigerated. If you have a live bacteria, it only makes since to me that if it's not refrigerated that it would not last.

• Rub Olive Oil on their head!

That's right Olive Oil. It's hard because in my case it's on their scalp. I do this the evening of bath night. It sit on their head for a few hours before bath. Commercially they sell many creams and oils for babies. Some have steroids in them! I've read that keeping eczema moist helps it from peeling and cracking. Olive Oil works well. No steroids!

• Give them an Oatmeal Bath!

This helps with itching! Works well with chickenpox to! Grind 2 cups of oatmeal in a mini food processor. Add it to your child's bath. My son's LOVED this! Then I used a screen to catch the remaining particles, so the drain wouldn't get clogged.

• I've even read that applying breastmilk to a babies eczema outbreak helps! I have not tried this, but it may be worth a shot.

Snack Bags for First Foods

If you are in need of first food snack bags, Cora Carolina is your place to go!

I love reusable snack bags! I use them daily and wish I would have known and bought some of these when my kids first started snacking.

They are a bit pricey, around $9. Think about how many boxes of sandwich bags you wouldn't have to buy!

These are safer, reusable, dishwasher/washer safe! They work great for school age kids lunches!

Finger Food Ideas for Older Babies:

Veggies:

• Small dices of soft cooked veggies mixed as a "veggie salad" 

Make sure you don't introduce too many foods at once

• Small bits of soft baked {acorn or butternut} squash
• Soft baked sweet potato dices or fries
• Small bits of soft baked green beans

Fruits:

• Soft baked bits of peaches
• Small dices of ripe banana
• Dices of ripe pears
• Small bits of avocado

Other Ideas:

• Cereals {Multi-Grain Cheerios}
• Tofu cubes "dusted" with wheat germ or cereal dust
• Diced toast

Bamboobies and a Book Giveaway

What are Some Breastfeeding Must Haves?

• Bamboobie breast pads for leaky breasts
• Lanolin nipple cream for sore nipples
• Medela Pump in Style double breast pump
• Breastfeeding bras

What are Some Breastfeeding Wants?

• Boppy for pillow support
  
• Breastfeeding jewelery to remember which side you fed on last
• Spit up rags
• Medela wipes to quickly clean off parts

 Awhile ago I reviewed Bamboobies through ecomom! I liked them so much that I decided to purchase some more to giveaway to one of my US readers! To me this product is a must have for new moms that choose to breastfeed.

What are Bamboobies?
They are super soft bamboo breast pads.

Why do I like Bamboobies?

• They are thin. No one can see them through your shirt.
• They are leak-proof. 
• They are packaged in their own laundry bag.
• They are better on your skin because they are made out of bamboo.
• They are heart shaped.
• Each bag comes with daytime pad; as well as nighttime ones. The nighttime ones are thicker and bigger then average pads.

Earth Mama Organics Milkmaid Tea and Mug Reveiw and Giveaway!

I've been looking for baby stuff to get my sister. I wanted things that she would find useful.

I went to some of my favorite baby stores to look around! The Baby Store Plus is one of them. They have a variety of products. Not just for baby, but for kids and mom to!







I ended up getting my sister a box of Earth Mama Organics Milkmaid Tea. I bought extra to giveaway!

I love this tea! I had some when my son Isaak was getting better from meningitis. While he was sick, he wanted little milk. When he got better he wanted a lot of milk. The trouble was, my supply got low. This tea really helped!  

The Baby Store Plus is closing their doors. That means that they are having a HUGE sale right now! Everything is marked down. No codes needed. They have a flat $6.95 shipping rate for anything under $75.

I ordered something to giveaway just to one of my readers! Yep that is right, you! One of my US readers is going to get two boxes of Earth Mama Organics Milkmaid Tea and the 11 ounce mug featured below.

Pink BabyLegs Giveaway

I bought a pair of pink BabyLegs awhile ago because I kept thinking that someone in my family was bound to have a girl. The next generation in my family seems to be mostly boys.


BabyLegs can be worn not only on the legs, but also the arms. Check out my two sons wearing the same pair of Bones BabyLegs:

I simply love how they can be worn on the legs, later under their shorts and further down the road on their arms!


They were perfect when Isaak had meningitis. It was a pain to dress him. BabyLegs kept his legs warm! The nurses loved them too!

About BabyLegs:

They started when a mom had problems with her daughter having diaper rash. She wanted to keep her legs warm, but the rash needed air to heal. The mom used a pair of adult socks to keep her child's legs warm.

Soon the socks feet were cut off. She realized that they helped protect her daughter's knees with crawling, made diaper changing and potty training easier.

BabyLegs Socks:

More recently the company has started selling socks. My only negative critique on them is that they only go up to age 2. I bought their football set for my youngest son! He only wanted to ware these socks! Then he was upset when he outgrew them!

Giveaway

I am giving away to one lucky reader a pair of pink BabyLegs {shown above}. This giveaway is open to US only and ends September 1 at 10 pm.

The story goes like this...

My sister has had a lactation consultant at her home a lot. Having a child that has one extra chromosome takes a lot of work! Not just with breastfeeding, but with everything else to!

Emerson pulled his feeding tube out 2 nights ago. Lucky for my sister, she's a nurse. It took her one try to get it back in! Yay for her! She's not even a pediatric nurse.

She was telling her lactation consultant about my blog, Milking the Issue. Now the lactation consultant has my blog on her list for new mom's! :) I'm so happy! 

By the way, Emerson now is 8 weeks old! Happy 8 week birthday! Aunt Lissy loves you!

All my nephews and niece call my "Aunt Lissy." My name is really Alissa. I think that got started with my niece because she couldn't say my name. It stuck because it's just so cute to hear a little voice say, "Aunt Lissy!"

Baby Clothes Rule!

I have to say that I wish they made the same t-shirts that they do for babies for adults to. :) Some of them are so darn cool!

Now that my boys are a little older the selection of clothing has gone down hill.

I found a new shop I like today called Organic Baby Gift Boutique.

Here are just a few things I spotted that I like:

I'd love to get this for my nephew Emerson. It comes in brown to!

Then they have these t-shirts of every letter in the alphabet! These run bigger. How cool is that!?! My son's names are Mica and Isaak, so naturally I'd want to get the m and i shirt.

New Age Mama is giving away a $25 gift certificate to this store!

PS I will be having some giveaways on this site later this month. I'm so excited!

Posh Nursing Pads

Posh Pads is a really great company! I had never heard of them until just now! I'm super excited to tell you about finding this company!

Life in the Lost World is hosting a giveaway for Posh Pads! One winner is going to receive a 4 pack of her adorable heart shaped, "My Heart Belongs to You" nursing pads!

Name Books

I love books that can be customized! I really feel that kids have a better connection with a book when they see their name in it. The also learn how to spell their name early on when they see it repeated.

One lucky winner is going to receive the personalized book of their choice from I See Me at New Age Mama.
