Summer is almost here - it is time to swim !

Certified Swimming, Infant/Child CPR/First Aid, Lifeguard Instructor and Author, Julie Gross, has created a Learn to Swim in Just 5 Days Guaranteed! program through her company, Swim with Mr. Blue.

Ms. Julie has written a children’s book entitled Swim with Mr. Blue, and from this book was created colorful puppet characters which are used in a Water Safety Puppet Show that depicts the story of the book.

Mr. Blue and his Swimming Crew were having fun one day and Mr. Blue forgot how to swim.
The Water Safety Puppet shows will entrance the children with the mesmerizing songs and the playful maneuvers of the puppet characters as Mr. Blue’s swimming crew teach him the swim techniques that he needs to remember how to swim and feel safe and secure in the water!

We were honored to have Ms. Julie, Mr. Blue and his Swimming Crew yesterday here at Baby Posh, and look forward to seeing lots of little ones safely enjoying the waters this summer.

I make milk. What's your super-power?

We all know the importance of Breast feeding - not only because of all the nutrients and protection that our child gets from our milk, but also because of the bond that we develop during those precious moments...

However, some still have misconceptions about breast feeding. "Will my breasts sag ?" Maybe, but your significant other may find you sexier as you develop your Goddess-ness. "Is it appropriate to breast feed in public ?" We Think so! You may be the victim of a few frowns in public, but don't take them too seriously. Most people respect nursing as a vital and beautiful act, so don't be shy - FEED ON!

A great resource for mothers is La Leche League International (www.llli.org), where you can get breastfeeding help, learn about breastfeeding and the law, find resources for health care providers, and much more.

Here at Baby Posh we are not yet able to offer breasts full of milk (but we are working on that !) but we have a large selection of breast pumps, nursing aprons, storage bottles, nursing pillows, nipple shields, and more.

Our goal is to help you spread your super-power anytime and anywhere. Come by for a quick intro to a breast pump or to check out our great line of accessories. Open 7 days a week!

Also: don't forget to ask about lactation support groups and recommended lactation consultants!

The joys of potty training

Potty training can be drag, but it is one of the milestones we as parents celebrate - since we start to be free from diaper changes, rashes, etc.

The Mayo Clinic has an interesting article on their website about it - just click here. And we at Baby Posh carry an assortment of tools such as books, DVDs and potty trainers to help your child become more independent. So do yourself a favor and encourage your child to use the potty whenever the time is right. As a parent myself, I will cherish the day when I won't need to buy any more diapers !

PJ Library rocks !

Have you ever heard of the PJ Library ? This is a program that supports families in their Jewish journey by sending free Jewish-content books and music on a monthly basis to children from age six months to five, six, seven or eight years depending on the community. Created by the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, The PJ Library is funded nationally in partnership with the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, local philanthropists, and Jewish organizations.

At this time, The PJ Library is available in more than 100 communities across the United States. Each community is sponsored by a local Jewish organization and local donors who share a passion for vibrant Jewish life. You can see if PJ Library is available in your community by clicking here.

We at Baby Posh are proud to have some PJ Library books on our shelves, as a well as countless of other books to stimulate your children's intellect and creativity.

Frightening recalls on baby Slings!

We have pulled all recalled units off our shelves, and still encourage the use of a proper carrier. Our favorite, the "Baby K'tan Baby Carrier" - which we still offer here at BPG - has issued the following statement that we wanted to share with you:

"The Consumer Product Safety Commission ("CPSC") has issued a warning advising parents and caregivers to be cautious when using infant slings for babies younger than four (4) months old. (See CPSC Warning).

Since its inception, "safety first" has been the focal point of Baby K'tan. Baby K'tan, LLC commends the CPSC safety warning as an important milestone in helping parents and caregivers continue the ancient practice of baby wearing in a proper and safe manner.

The Baby K'tan Baby Carrier has never been subject to a CPSC recall, and our company has always maintained strict safety standards. We provide written instructions and warnings with every Baby Carrier, as well as video instructions and written instructions on our website, so that our customers are well educated on the proper and safe use of the Baby K'tan Baby Carrier. See Safety Warnings (please notice warning #7 which clearly addresses points in the CPSC warning). And, of course, our customer service personnel are available to answer individual questions.

The Baby K'tan Baby Carrier's unique double loop design was specifically designed so that infants can be held in a more upright position, as compared to traditional slings. This is meant to mimic the position in which a parent would hold a baby in their arms, with the baby's head at or close to the parent's chest. Parents and caregivers can also carry infants in the Baby K'tan Baby Carrier in a more upright Kangaroo position.

We, at Baby K'tan, have always stressed the importance of safety. Following our instructions and warnings when using the Baby K'tan Baby Carrier will help achieve a safe and secure environment for parent/caregiver and baby.

Please do not hesitate to contact us at 866.yes.ktan (866.937.5826) or via email at info@babyktan.com for any questions or concerns you may have.
Baby K'tan has joined the ASTM committee to create guidelines for safe and proper infant positioning in baby carriers and slings".
