Sensory Brushes (Bag of 12)
If you have a child with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), treatment doesn't have to cost a fortune. There are less expensive ways to supplement treatments offered outside the home. A soft sensory brush can help alleviate sensory aversion and can be done while the child is home watching a favorite program, relaxing. Of course, there is no substitute for professional help, but if you can help your child find comfort, that's best for everybody.

One of the most stressful tasks the parent of a newborn can undertake is the cleaning of the belly button. This tender area can easily become chafed by diapers and clothes. This soft cotton cover protects this sensitive area and helps the healing process. You have enough to lose sleep over in those early weeks, keeping the belly button clean should not be one of those things.

Nosefrida The Snotsucker Nasal Aspirator
As we approach allergy season in many parts of the country, I thought it might be helpful to revisit a useful, but gross way to help clear your baby's nasal passages. Parents insert the The Snotsucker Nasal Aspirator against the nostril, not inside, and use their own suction to remove the mucus. It may seem a little strange at first, but this is a safer and more sanitary method than traditional aspirator bulbs. Disposable filters are more hygienic and the entire aspirator is dish washer safe.

Triple Paste Medicated Ointment for Diaper Rash
Seeing your infant suffer through a diaper rash can be as painful for you as it is for your baby. There are so many remedies on the shelf it can be hard to choose the right one for your baby and when you need it, you really don't have the patience for too much trial and error. When my oldest used to get rashes, there was one cream that we could always count on to make the rash disappear: Triple Paste. It was so thick, it could be hard to put on, but it sure did the trick. Don't let the sticker shock scare you away. If your baby gets frequent rashes, this cream is worth every dime.

Morning Wellness Tea 16 Bags
Morning sickness was right at the top of list of things I didn't like about being pregnant. I was so sick during one of my pregnancies, my doctor was literally begging me to gain weight, "Eat whatever you can keep down, we'll fix it later." I was really excited when a friend told me that York Peppermint Patties always made his wife feel better. I tried those, but in the end it didn't work. I might have been better off with an herbal tea like this one. This Morning Wellness Tea blends Ginger Root, a well known nausea soother, with spearmint, peppermint, chamomile, lemon balm and a twist of orange peel for flavor. It's a great excuse to sit down, put your feet up and take some time to make yourself feel better. You might not love it as much as bag of Peppermint Patties, but then again, you won't have to "fix it later" either.

Vapor-Eze Waterless Vaporizer with Aromatherapy
Relieving nasal congestion in an infant can be so difficult. If you go to the pediatrician, you will likely end up with a prescription for antibiotics. You might choose an over the counter remedy, chest rub or vaporizer. Water based vaporizers can be unsanitary, loud and trap bacteria. This vaporizer doesn't take water, but uses pre moistened pads infused with natural, aromatic oils. Each pad provides up to 10 hours of relief from cold like symptoms. The best feature might just be that it operates silently. Finally, your baby can get some rest and you can too.
