Day 3 of the ABC Kids Show. It has gotten better every day.

Bums: Exciting stuff here…gDiapers has come out with a cloth insert! We haven’t carried gDiapers in the past for a few reasons. 1. They only had disposable liners. 2. The fact that you had to flush the liner. 3. We heard a lot of feed back that they leaked once the child started crawling. Some new information: 1. There is now a cloth insert which is half microfiber/fleece and the other side is hemp/cotton. 2. The disposable inserts are biodegradable. Which means you can flush then, compost them (no poop) or throw them away if you so choose. 3. We spoke with the owner for over an hour on the diapers. Leaking can be a problem, but the solution is SO EASY!   It all comes down to how you put the diaper on, and we learned the proper technique. They are super cute, trim, and extremely breathable. They will be gracing the shelves of Bellani in the next few weeks.

Breasts: More exciting stuff….Glamourmom has announced they are debuting a Full-Breasted Nursing Tank. It will be available in October and can accommodate up to a 48J cup! Isn’t that amazing? We have always loved Glamourmom, but it never worked for the larger breasted women (read, Kelly couldn’t wear it!).   Now it can. Not only are the cut out holes larger, they have reinforced the support by putting in bra hooks in the back. So not only do you get support from the cup, you can also adjust the back so it’s the perfect fit. We understand how important support can be.

Poop: Do you cloth diaper? How many times have you heard that you can’t use any diaper ointment while cloth diapering (we have probably told you that at Bellani). Why? Using ointments containing zinc, petrolatum & fish oils will ruin the cloth diapers by preventing their absorbency. A & D ointment, although very good, is VERY bad when using cloth diapers. Earth Mama Angel Baby Bottom Balm or the new Bum Bum Balm is ok, and safe to use while cloth diapering. We have always carried Earth Mama and are excited to bring in the Dimpleskins line. It is so effective that Bummis Cloth Diapers puts it in their trial kit.
*****We are raffling off  a full size Bum Bum Balm to anyone who comments on the blog about their favorite product that we have blogged about. We will be picking the winner tomorrow.

Suck: To suck or not suck, that isn’t really the question because we know the answer. All babies love to suck and chew on things. Research has shown that metal is a wonderful surface for them to teeth because of it’s natural cooling effect. Introducing Toofeze (ok, we’re not that impressed with the name, but it’s a good product so we got past it). Of course it’s a non-toxic product that can be easily chilled in the freezer, bowl of ice water or the air conditioner. It’s also engraveable (I like that idea).

Clean: Who isn’t concerned with clean toys and surfaces our babies and children come into contact with on a daily basis. At Bellani we are constantly cleaning everything from mats, to toys, to counters and door knobs. We have to be careful with which type of cleaner we use because children are usually putting the things in their mouths. Over the past three years we have dabbled with a few different types. Always non-toxic, bleach and chlorine free. We get asked often what products we use and where they can purchase them. We are happy to introduce Dapple to you. Dapple is a line of natural cleaning products for house holds with children. They are safe and baby specific…ie they will get out the milk and spit-up stains! Our favorite items are the Toy Cleaner Spray & Toy Cleaner wipes. What an easy way to get the germs off, yet keep our children safe.

Tomorrow is our last day at the show. Time to wrap up, refocus and place some orders. Good stuff going on here in Vegas.  Goodnight all, catch up tomorrow.
