{YoBaby} GIVEAWAY and Review *GIVEAWAY CLOSED*

What an ingenious idea!  Why not take yogurt and mix it with not only fruit but also veggies!   Well, that's exactly what YoBaby has done.  And, it's impressive, my friends.  Not only will babies eat it - they love it!! 

We just tried these with our 6 month old daughter {where does the time go!?}, and she absolutely. postively. loved. it.  She was scarfing it down and just couldn't get enough - seriously!  And, of course, I feel good about it because she's getting a balanced meal {yogurt, fruit, vegetable}, and it's organic {= no pesticides}.  Like all their yogurts, YoBaby meals contain 6 active live cultures, which help strengthen the immune system.


Yobaby offers 3 varieties of their yobaby 3-in-1 meals:
*apple and sweet potato
*peach and squash {this is the one we tried!}
*pear and green beans

And in addition to their YoBaby Meals, they have:
*YoBaby Original {fruit and yogurt - 6 varieties offered}
*YoBaby Drinkable
*YoToddler {yogurt, fruit and cereal with DHA and iron}
*YoKids
*Squeezers

They offer something for every child in your house, really.  And with all their nutrients, probiotics and wonderful flavor combinations, you really can't go wrong here.  We are definitely going to be stocking up on these.

WIN IT!  One lucky Haute Tot and Baby Couture reader is going to win 2 free trials for YoBaby 4-packs AND and Eric Carle Growth Chart!

{Mobi} Digital Cam Review and GIVEAWAY! *GIVEAWAY CLOSED*

I think every family I know that has a baby has some type of monitor to, well, monitor their baby.  But there really are soooo many to choose from!  Where does one start in the search for a good one?

Lucky for you, I recently had the privilege of reviewing the Mobicam Digital from Mobi.  Here's what I immediately noticed about it upon removing it from its box {these were particularly evident to me since the last monitor we had purchased was from 4 years ago...and much dated}:  It's sleek, easy to transport and ready to use out of the box. Those are three things that make me happy because a) I don't want something that takes up a lot of space, and b) I really hate poring over oodles of directions.  Oh, and of course, this monitor actually has a camera so that you can see your baby - not just hear him or her {although it is also nice that you can just listen and turn off the vision portion, too, if you like}.



After delving into its features even further, I discovered these qualities about the Mobicam Digital:
*has DigiLock Wireless with FHSS technology for privacy
*has a transmission range of up to 450 feet
*features night vision with a 30 foot range to view in total darkness
*has a built-in night light on camera
*the 2.4" color LCD screen tilts for optimal viewing angles
*features an extra wide camera angle to allow you to see more of the room
*has audio/video output/cable for connection to the televisionor recorder
*includes a wall mount for the camera
*includes 8-hour rechargeable Li-ion batteries

And for you "techies" out there, they also offer an Internet Kit {to purchase separately} so that you can monitor sound and picture remotely from your computer or another Internet device.  What's really cool about it?  You can have an email or text sent to you when motion occurs, for example! Wow!

So, the most important thing is that the camera works like a charm.  Clear picture, no fuzz, & good volume control.  There is no bright light on the monitor either, meaning you, the parent, can sleep better without some big glaring red light in your face all night long {trust me...I know this to be a big benefit since our last monitor had that!}.  And, the light on the receiver in baby's room is a nice blue glow that hardly puts out any light at all, meaning it won't distract baby's sleep.

BUY IT! Visit Mobi today to get your own chic MobiCam Digital Wireless Monitoring System. 

WIN IT! One super lucky Haute Tot and Baby Couture reader is going to win their own MobiCam Digital Wireless Monitoring System {valued at $189.99}!! See below for how to enter!

Flat Irons: Friend or Foe?

I've never really been a high-maintenance gal (at least, I don't think so!), so I must confess right now that flat irons rarely touch the hair on my head.  That being said, when they do, I like for the darn things to work and be easy to use.

So I recently received the Karmin G3 Salon Pro Hair Styling Iron from hairproductspro.com, and it sure is a dandy!  I had always thought of flat irons for just producing, well, "flat" (straight) hair. But, boy, was I wrong!  This little professional flat iron can curl, flip, straighten or add volume and body to your hair AND boasts different temperature settings for different hair types!  "Styling your hair is virtually effortless and results are smooth, silky, shiny hair.  The ceramic plates are infused with tourmaline which together work to produce more negative ions. Negative ions work to seal the hairs cuticle for smoother, frizz free results as well as lock in moisture, protect color and add shine to your hair." 

 
Be sure to check out this amazing site for all hair essentials!  From blow dryers and flat irons to hair extensions and hair scissors, they've got you covered.  And there you will find not only a wide variety of each product, but all professional brands, and ones you're not likely to find in the big box stores.

Oh, and back to my original "beef" with hair products taking too much time...  This flat iron can do wonders in mere minutes.  Okay, I'm sold.

GIVEAWAY and Review of {mocobabies}. *GIVEAWAY CLOSED*

We've all been there before. Baby is crying, but we can't figure out why. Is she wet?  No.  Is she hungry? No. Does she just want to be held? No.  Just what is the problem?

Well, here's a solution for you: Mocobabies.  Mocobabies can help you communicate with your baby, even before she's able to speak.  How?  Sign language.   And research out there is showing some big benefits for using baby sign language:

*Promotes language development skills
*Reduces frustration
*Creates feelings of satisfaction and accomplishment
*Increases creative thinking
*Increases early literacy skills
*May increase IQ

What I particularly love about mocobabies is that they offer simple tools that make signing both fun and easy.  Because if it's not fun and easy, after all, we're probably not going to do it, right?  Instead of some huge book that you need to flip through to find what you're looking for, they offer simple-to-use and easy-to-find flash cards, decals and placemats.

I LOVE the flash cards!  In this mocobabies set, they've included practical first-time signs for "eat," "more," "milk," and "all done" plus additional cards for some animals, food and everyday signs.  All 35 cards included in the set are laminated on both sides so that they do not tear or get ruined by your drooling baby!  On one side of each card is a picture of the action/thing you're signing, and on the other side of the card are images that show you what your hands need to do to make the sign for that word/phrase.  I also love that they come in an uber-cool tin for easy stow-and-go! 


The mocobabies signing decals also come in a little, sophisticated tin - so stylish!  The idea here is that you can put these stickers anywhere around your house to help both you and baby/toddler remember and learn to sign different things in your daily life.  The decals are repositionable, so you can move them from place to place as necessary.  These decals are ideally placed on things like walls, mirrors and windows.  However, mocobabies does include some "tester" (blank) decals that you can place on different items to see what they do stick to and can safely be removed from.  The decals feature simple images of hands and how they are moved to sign for a word/phrase. Included in the set are signs for manners ("please" and "thank you"), first signs ("eat," "more," "milk," "finished"), warning signs (like "no," and "stop"), wash-up signs (like "dirty," and "wash hands,"), playful signs (like "share," and "toys"), bedtime signs (like "sleep," and "blanket") and on-the-go signs (like "car," and "outside"). 

Additionally, mocobabies offers a double-sided placemat to use at mealtime.  It has a protective finish so that even the messiest of babies can't destroy it, and it features bright colors that interest baby.  It is done in a cool, retro fashion, and on it are basic signs for meal-time fun, such as how to sign for "finished," "more" and "milk" among others.  These placemats are great, too, because not only do they remind you to use your signing at mealtime {and have the signs right there for you to see without having to look them up in some book}, but they are also fabulous for an older sibling to be able to join along in the fun!


My favorite product of mocobabies is definitely the signing flash cards.  They are easy to use, practical and perfectly sized to use at home and for traveling.  I think a few of the flashcards are somewhat useless, however, as I don't think my baby really needs to know the sign for "hippo" or "horse," for example.  Some other more practical words would be a better fit.  Regarding the decals, I like the idea of them, but prefer that they came in words that physically described the object they're actually stuck to.  For example, I would like to see a decal for the word, "book," and then be able to place that decal on a book.  I love mocobabies' new {but not yet available!} alphabet poster.  The poster has all letters of the alphabet on it, of course, and some of the letters also feature an object with which that particular letter begins (for example, next to the letter "b" is a bird).  The poster is in your basic reds, oranges, yellows, greens and blues, although not in the primary colors but instead more muted, sophisticated tones.  These posters are perfect to frame and hang up in your child's room to help him or her learn the alphabet, and they also make for some cute nursery or toddler room decor.  I do wish, however, that every letter had a coordinating item that begins with that letter. Also, I'm not quite sure what the poster as to do with baby signing, if anything, but regardless, they're adorable and practical to teach the alphabet.

We are currently working on using these with our 5 month-old.  We just started, so it's a little disgruntling right now, because she isn't signing back.  But that's normal and to be expected.  Apparently children don't start signing until they're about 8 months old or so.  But I can give credence to the fact that my first-born did sign to me!  Granted, we didn't have the mocobabies products with him, but he did sign the few signs we taught him.  So, I can say that signing works! You just have to put in the time and effort...and mocobabies can help you do so in a playful, interactive and engaging manner.

BUY IT!  Visit mocobabies today to get started signing with your baby in a fun, interactive and easy way!  There you can purchase the flashcards, signing decals, and placemat {purchase all 3 at a discount!}.

WIN IT!  One lucky Haute Tot and Baby Couture reader is going to win the mocobabies flash cards and sticker decals! See below on how to enter.  Be sure to follow them on twitter & facebook (links below) too, as they'll be giving away some goodies during September!!

What Is Baby Sign Language Exactly?

Hello lovelies!
Today I invite you to read a post from a new acquaintance I've come into contact with.  Her name is Misty Weaver, and she is the Chief Editor for Baby Sign Language.  I personally used a little bit of sign language with my first child, and it certainly came in handy when eating as he learned to sign "all done" and "more."  I wholeheartedly believe in the power of baby sign language - that is to say that if you can get them to learn it, the "power" is that you can communicate with one another and with fewer frustrations on both your part and baby's part.  So without further adieu, I'd like to share this guest blog post about Baby Sign Language with you.  Enjoy!

Misty Weaver writes...

"Baby sign language is a way for our babies and toddlers to communicate with us before they are able to speak.  They can understand what we say long before they can say anything back.  Baby Sign Language offers a way to bridge this gap.  If your baby has something to say, she can say it with signs!

Babies already gesture naturally.  They point at things they want.  They wave bye-bye to us when we leave.  The urge to sign is innate.  So why not foster this tendency, and develop it into a skill that can make life easier for both the baby and the parents?

When your baby wants to breastfeed, he can make the sign for milk.  When he is tired, he can make the sign for bed.  When he can’t find his blankie, he can make the sign for blanket.  When he is hungry, he can tell you!  Many times, 12-month-old babies are already signing please and thank you!

The benefits of Baby Sign Language are many.  Studies show that babies who sign learn to speak faster and better than babies who don’t sign.  Toddlers who grow up signing have bigger vocabularies than those who don’t.  Research even shows that the average IQ of children who sign is 12 points higher than children who don’t sign.  And by the time they get to school, children who grow up signing have higher reading levels than those who don’t.  It seems that baby sign language helps with all facets of speech and language development.

Of course, all of that might seem abstract to a mother or father chasing a ten-month-old around the house.  There are immediate benefits to signing with your baby as well.  Babies and toddlers who sign show fewer frustration behaviors such as biting, kicking, and screaming.  It doesn’t take long for your baby to figure out that she can get what she wants far easier and faster if she signs, as opposed to the old-fashioned freaking out!

Studies also show that the ability to communicate is really healthy for a child’s self-esteem and self-confidence.  Signing with your baby shows him that you care what he thinks, feels, wants, and needs!  And don’t you feel good when someone understands you?  It works the same for our wee-ones!

Signing is also an awesome way to bond with your infant.  Any time spent teaching your baby (and learning from your baby) is precious time.  When you sign with your baby, you are actively engaging with her, which is what the parenting magazines call “quality time.”  Those minutes are more fun than the minutes your son spends watching you do laundry.  (Though of course, those moments can be precious too!)

In the United States and Canada, Baby Sign Language employs the signs of American Sign Language (ASL).  So your baby will actually be learning a second language!  Many children remember the signs you teach them for the rest of their lives!  Who knows when this skill will come in handy?  (Get it?  Handy!  Ha!)"

Thank you, Misty, for this article!  I, for one, have enjoyed it and plan to utilize baby sign language with our 5 month old!

Stay tuned for A GIVEAWAY of some baby sign language developmental tools to arrive later this week! :)

GIVEAWAY & Review of {Goodnite Lite} *GIVEAWAY CLOSED*

Our 3 year-old is an early riser {we're talking 6:00 - 6:30 ish a.m.}.  I am not {if my choice, I'd sleep until 9:00 every morning...probably later if I could stay up later at night working on my sewing}.  And with a newborn in the mix {who I've proclaimed as "World's Worst Sleeper}, I'm simply not getting much sleep these days.  Welcome, Zombieland {sigh}.

BUT.  I found help!  Hallelujah! I. Found. Help. 

It's called the "GoodNite Lite."  It's really quite a simple idea, but oh-so-magical!  Here's the {ingenious!} idea: When it's time to sleep, it looks like a moon.  When it's time to get up, it looks like a sun.  All you have to do is decide what time bedtime is, and what time your kids should be getting up, and you set the clock to change images accordingly.  So when your child wakes up at 6:00 a.m. like mine, and comes bombarding into your room, saying, "Hey! It's daytime!" {true story}, you can respond with, "Really?  Are you sure?  Did you check your GoodNite Lite? What's it say?"  And guess what? If it's still displaying the moon, back to bed little Johnny goes!



As quoted from their website,

"Having a bright light, even a regular nightlight, on in a child's room inhibits teaching them that when it is dark, it is time for sleep and when it is light, its time to get up. The objective is to educate children to associate light with the daytime activities, and darkness with nighttime and rest. Ideally, the night light would be on a timer such that the light will be bright while they first go to sleep, and automatically dim after a set time. The Good Nite Lite implements exactly this approach and, in addition, provides additional reinforcement that its time to rest by displaying an easily recognized "Moon" caricature."

And this means better, healthy sleep for the whole family!  It's really just Pavlov's law {remember the experiment with the dog salivating when he heard a bell?}, meaning once you've reset your child's internal clock {wake-time}, you can probably stop using the light.  Of course, you'll still want to keep it around once that happens, because you can always use it to readjust their internal clock when necessary {for example, when school starts, and they need to be waking up earlier, or when summertime comes, and you'd prefer that they sleep in a little later}.

So we received our GoodNite Lite {sooo thrilled when it arrived in the mail!} this past week, and I was eager to test it out, of course.  First thing I needed to do was set the current time, and set the day-time and night-time times.  Turns out, it was a piece of cake, and I had all the proper times set in just a minute or two.  Then we headed to our little guy's room and plugged it in. I told him that this was his new "alarm clock," and that when it was time for bed, a moon would show up on the clock, and when it was time to get up, the sun would display visually.  He was definitely fine with this concept and eager to meet the Moon and Sun {as was I!}!

So that night, per instructions, we set the sun to show up at 6:30 {his normal waking time}.  We did this for a couple days.  Then we changed it so that the sun wouldn't come up until 6:50 a.m.  {I should point out here that the instruction advise increasing the wake-up time by 15 minute increments until you get to the desired wake-up time}. My ultimate goal is 7:00 a.m., but as he's currently waking up before 6:50, I'm going to wait a while to do that.  That being said, he stays in his room until 6:50, when he see the Sun and knows it's permissible to leave his room/get out of bed!  So, hooray! It works!  I get to sleep in later without being interrupted, and honestly, our little guy bsolutely loves his new "clock!"  And not that we ever had a problem with his willingness to go to bed either, but now he's actually excited to see when the Moon comes up...and, of course, then knows it's time for sleep.  Oh.  And he loves that he has his own special clock.  It's a winner for both parties!

My only complaint would be that the Moon exudes a bright light in my opinion {the room glows a blue hue}.  However, as noted in the quote at the beginning of this post, the light is set to dim after some time.  It's just that we were used to having the room completely dark.  That being said, though, our son doesn't mind the light, and it hasn't kept him from falling asleep at all either.

**The founder did send me this additional feedback since this review was written:

If you have a child who normally sleeps in the dark than we don’t encourage introducing a light into their sleep routine, so with that said we do have some options. First you can move the nite lite to the hallway to act more as a toll gate (Again, Moon on everyone is resting....Sun on...your job to wake us). The second option is to program the Moon to illuminate 1 minute before the Sun. This way you use only the Sun and don’t have the nite lite on all night.
