The Glamor, Creativity and Originality of Celebrity Baby Showers

Your baby shower is one of the most prized memories that any mother can have. Just as everyday people make the most of this once in a lifetime moment, celebrities are known for making the most of this occasion and having some of the most grand and luxurious baby showers. Splurging is common among celebrities, especially if it is going to be for their new coming baby. Celebrities will do and pay anything and everything for their little ones. Icons such as Heidi Klum, Christina Aguilera, Nicole Richie, and Gwen Stefani, have held some of the most splendid baby showers of our time.

Baby Bassinets

In 2004, Heidi Klum held a Mexican-themed baby shower for her daughter, Leni, in New York City. The party was catered by Dos Caminos Restaurant, and was full of yummy food and treats! Although the shower was reported to be a small celebration with 25 guests, Klum splurged and made the event a great one. Heidi Klum gave each of her guests a posh tote full of fine beauty products, a boutique gift certificate, and Victoria's Secret pajamas; she made her baby shower all about giving, instead of receiving.

Baby Bassinets

Christina Aguilera's friends and family threw her baby shower in Malibu, California. According to Touch Weekly Magazine, guests brought blue, boy-themed baby gifts. Aguilera registered at Bel Bambini, a chic baby store located in West Hollywood. Baby bottles, diaper bags, and clothes were on the reported list of items in the registry. Among the gifts that she received from the upscale baby boutique were a blue Loved Mom Guitar shirt, a Cariboo bassinet with blue dot bedding, and Trumpette Johnny's socks.

Nicole Richie held her luxurious baby shower alongside Joel Madden at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The couple was reported to have a Wizard of Oz-themed baby shower. They even had a yellow brick road at the celebration, which was lined with candy, ruby slipper centerpieces, and a live band that performed the songs of the classic tale. The event also raised money for the new Richie Madden Children's Foundation, which the couple has recently established.

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale had the most glamorous baby shower that any musician could have. The shower was held at a friend's mansion in Los Angeles, and was themed after Gwen's clothing line, L.A.M.B. The theme cleverly featured pink lambs. David Arquette and Christina Applegate are two of the many guests that attended Stefani's celebration. Stefani and Rossdale gave out truffles and flowers as gifts, and received an estimated value of ,000 in gifts. Some of the gifts were a fancy bedding set, a beautiful chandelier, and a gold necklace. These were just a few of the many deluxe gifts that Stefani's baby received at the shower.

Celebrities seem to go all out these days when it comes to pampering their babies. The more unique and original the baby shower is the better. Regardless of your budget, making your shower a one-of-a-kind event should be a priority for every mother-to-be, celebrity or not.

Bassinet: The Best Bed for the Newborn in Your Life

For nine months your baby was protected in your womb; wrapped up in a cocoon of Mother Nature's love. The transition to the real world, during birth, was a traumatic experience for the developing little human in your life. Your maternal instincts likely told you to wrap your baby up in comforting fabrics; to hold them close so to you so they could hear your heartbeat; to give them all the love and shelter you possibly could.

Baby Bassinets

Newborn babies can be quite intimidating. It's one of life's funny ironies that a fully-grown adult can actually fear the delicate, fragile, tiny frames newborns come in. What happens if you don't support their heads just right? Or know just how much pressure to apply when burping them? Or how to avoid causing them pain when dressing them in their miniature clothes? There are many things to learn as a new parent, no doubt about it. But getting the basics right can be easy. A newborn baby does three things: eat, sleep and excrete. Once you've got feeding and changing down, there's just one thing left to figure out: baby's bed.

Baby Bassinets

Many people get excited and choose impractical cots and beds for their baby, not fully understanding just how tiny a space they are going to occupy. If a newborn wants anything, it is the feeling of physical contact. How can a baby enjoy this feeling in a spacious bed? The solution is the bassinet: the long-time bed of choice for the newborn baby. The bassinet is designed to be snug, like the womb, so a baby can feel protected or 'cocooned' as it does in the womb.

There are many different styles of baby bassinets to suit the parent's taste and baby's gender and size. The only crucial aspect when choosing a bed is to chose the correct design, such as the bassinet - and the correct fabric. Babies have sensitive skin. Always do your research when choosing bed clothes for baby, ensuring the fabrics are not made from materials your baby may find irritating.

Open and assemble the bassinet (save the box for your new mom). Add the shredded tissue paper filling to the bottom. Load in your purchases, largest items (like diapers) toward the back. Be sure to choose a "front" of the basket, and make sure all item labels face front. Place the baby shower gift basket greeting card toward the front and top of the bassinet. Make your large ribbon (see below). Cut the netting into two pieces in a zig-zag motion at both ends. Bring the netting up around the bassinet and secure it with a wire, piece of small curling ribbon or rubber band. Attach your large ribbon. Ta da!Make Your Own Gift Basket Bow Cut about 20 inches of the wire ribbon and angle both ends. Gather the netting up around the bassinet as you would with cellophane (you may need an extra pair of hands for this part of the project) and tie the 20 inch ribbon around the netting in a double knot, covering your original ribbon or wire. Take the remaining ribbon in your hand, make a 9 inch loop and wrap the ribbon several times around that loop until the ribbon is gone, possibly 6 loops if you have a regular roll of ribbon (not an extra large roll!). Pinch the loops in the middle and hold it against the knot you previously tied. Tie a double knot around the center of the loops, and the bow should be secured to your package. Take the loops and separate them from each other, if you twist each loop in alternating directions they stay put.

Best Bassinet Bedding - Prevent SIDS

What is SIDS?

Baby Bassinets

It refers to sudden infant death syndrome and its defined popularly as sudden death of an infant without any medical reasons even after a postmortem is done and the case is thoroughly investigated. It is also known as crib death.

Baby Bassinets

As a mother I cant even imagine anything worse than a caring and devoted mother trying her best to take care of her baby and when he is peacefully sleeping only to realize the baby is dead. No mother will ever be able to let go of her sense of guilt, no matter how misplaced it is, she will keep wondering what did she do wrong? what she could have done to prevent it? This is why I researched this subject thoroughly so every expecting mother can find the right information to help her to take real good care of her baby and choose the best bassinet bedding for her baby to keep the risk minimal.

Over the last decade SIDS incidence has declined in many countries especially in the united states where recommendations about room ventilation, baby clothing, baby sleeping environment especially his bassinet bedding and his sleeping position have been closely observed. Still there are many theories about each and every factor that it can get really confusing and overwhelming so I chose the information with the most consensus and which actually worked in reducing the SIDS incidence. One of the most important factors is co-sleeping where the infant share the mother bed and its one of the worse risks you can take as a mother.

I researched many types of bassinet bedding and different qualities. First make sure you choose the type of bassinet that suits your budget and lifestyle without compromising on any safety measures. Describing these will need more elaborate space and time so in a glance keep the following tips in mind:

1- The weight the bassinet can take.

2- Check the base of the bassinet, you need it to be sturdy.

3- If your choice is a bassinet basket also known as moses baskets then make sure that there is no rough edges or dry reed protruding that can cause injury and ensure that its well padded without any loose folds.

4- If your bassinet is on a stand make sure its stable before you keep the baby.

5- Never ever carry the bassinet with the baby in it by the handles only, no matter how sturdy they look. Always place one hand at the base of the bassinet while carrying your baby in it.

6- Last but not least is choosing the right bassinet bedding which basically is the mattress. There are many choices available of differing qualities and it depends on your bassinet shape. Make sure it is an exact fit for your bassinet size with no distance between the mattress and the bassinet surface. You can choose to go for natural organic mattress which is a very wise investment.

The second most important factor after choosing the right bassinet bedding in which your baby will sleep is how he sleeps. There are many theories in this regards as to the prone position or the supine as each one of them has pros and cons. The current recommendation is flat on the back while some babies find it difficult to sleep in this position. So if your baby insists on sleeping on his tummy, make sure there are no folds near his head, no stuffed toys or pillows and the room is well ventilated and if u can use a fan that is also important. Still try to have your baby sleep on his back to avoid senseless worry.

Newborn Bassinets - The First Bed a Baby Will Know

Many people fear hospitals until you take them to the maternity ward, where they see the gurgling little newborns in the bassinets and pretty pink and blue blankets. These tiny people have a way of calming the most frazzled hospital visitor.

Baby Bassinets

Line by line, row by row, all those little babies tucked up snug in their bassinets. Staff bustles about, grabbing diapers and extra blankets from built-in drawers and cabinets beneath the bassinets.

Baby Bassinets

Those nurses, doctors and aides are what make the ward hum, keeping their little charges clean and comfortable. In return, the equipment they use is designed to be as ergonomic as possible for them. Bassinet stands are waist high to provide easy hand-level access to staff. The built-in drawers and cabinets negate the need for multiple trips to the supply cupboard just because someone needs changing. The stands and bassinets are durable and sturdy - the babies are safe, and the equipment will last through thousands of deliveries.

Getting the babies from place to place in the hospital requires bassinets to have sturdy castors that aren't going to squeak or seize. Swivel ball bearing castors ensure a smooth ride for babies, and an easy glide for staff.

Then there's the cleanliness factor. Lovely as they are, little babies can make big messes! Hard plastic and stainless steel designs help make cleanup of bassinets and stands easy. Washable, reusable bassinet pads make sure baby is in a clean environment throughout his or her stay in the hospital.

The easier everything is for the staff, the better those little ones will look, all lined up in their newborn bassinets!

7 Tips To Help Your Baby Go To Sleep And Stay Asleep

It is an absolute necessity of parenthood to help your baby (and yourself) get the best sleep possible. A baby (or parent) that does not sleep enough can easily become restless and irritable. Here are some tips to get your baby to go to sleep and stay asleep longer.

Baby Bassinets

Keep your baby active during the day. When awake, create a playful and active environment for your baby. Stimulate them with normal household light and noises. Talk, Sing and Play with them to ensure they stay active.

Baby Bassinets

Monitor and limit sleep during the day. It's important to set a regular schedule for daytime naps. However, sleeping for long periods of time during the day may create disaster when it's bedtime and your little on isn't tired.

Try using a pacifier. Some people swear by them and some people dislike them, but pacifiers are a proven remedy to help some babies settle down and get to sleep. In fact, studies have shown that using a pacifier can reduce the risk of SIDS. Of course if you choose to use a pacifier, you risk nighttime wakings when your baby loses it's pacifier and can't find it.

Establish a bedtime routine. It is very important to create a solid routine before bedtime. This will help your baby know what to expect before bedtime. A standard nighttime routine could be a bath, reading a book, then a good night kiss. It's more important that it's consistent rather than what it includes.

Put your baby in it's crib while it's awake. This may be the most important thing in this article. If you hold, rock, or swaddle your baby to sleep and then place them in their crib or bassinet while they are asleep you are asking for trouble. When you do this and your baby wakes, they get very scared and confused because it's not the same environment that they remember before they fell asleep. This is asking for nighttime waking and crying. The trick is to hold your baby until they are very tired but not sleeping and then put them into their crib.

Create a pleasant sleeping environment. Keep your babies sleep area quiet and dark. Some babies will wake at the slightest noises or movements. If your baby is like this, you can keep the noise down my oiling the springs on the crib and turning the phone ringer off. Try to keep the temperature and humidity at a constant level. 68 - 72 degrees and 40% - 50% humidity seems to work well for my daughter. If you baby seems to wake often with a stuffy nose, try a using a humidifier to keep the air more comftorable. You should also keep allergens including dust and pet dander away from your baby's nursery or crib.

Try using "White Noise". Sometimes, using a constant noise or hum will help your baby get to sleep and stay asleep. Personally, we use a small box fan set on low. It creates a hum that seems to help relax our daughter and drown out other household noises. Instead of a fan, you could try a recording of a parent's voice singing a lullaby or just a tape of rain or the ocean. I have heard of this working for several parent's.

Don't let yourself get frustrated. Getting your baby to sleep does not measure how good of a parent you are. Every baby is different and you must be patient and try to understand what your specific baby's needs are. Remember that you can always ask your child's pediatrician for recommendations.

Evenflo Discovery 5 Infant Car Seat Review

Shopping for a car seat isn't always easy. It takes a lot of learning, shopping, comparing and reviewing to find the perfect one for your child. As a first time parent, we're new to the whole idea of them, all the brands out there, what the features offer, and especially how to install one correctly. Although, I'm here to recommond one seat that I really like for infants. That seat is the Evenflo Discovery 5. It is one of the best selling infant seats out there. Why? Continue reading.

Baby Bassinets

The Evenflo Discovery 5 Car Seats come in eight different pattern designs that you can select from that make your seat possibly match the car you are driving if you like. The patterns are made up of fabric that is easy to clean and most likely will not wear out from use. The Evenflo Discovery 5 is built very strong to hold your baby and is considered to be a very safe child seat.

Baby Bassinets

The Evenflo Discovery 5 will hold a baby up to 22 pounds facing the rear of the car. This seat has a one-step harness adjustment that makes tightening the harness quick and effortless for the parents. It also has an integrated Stay-in-Car base which allows the seat to easily come in and out. This is very convenient for moms and dads to be able to carry their little one in the carrier part of the car seat and then be able to quickly place the child back into the carrier base for safety.

The Evenflo Discovery 5 has a removable, washable seat pad to help you keep it clean for your child. The handle to the carrier is CarryRight™Z Handle which is an innovative design that allows for easier carrying and a safer way to carry your child. This seat also provides a 3-Shoulder harness position and 2 crotch buckle positions for a better fit and longer use. This is a great safety feature preventing your child from slipping out of the car seat especially those little ones who manage to slip out of the best of spots.

The Evenflo Discovery 5 Car Seat also provides you with a canopy top that helps keep the baby shaded protecting your child from too much sun and glare while you are driving. It is also convenient in that most children will often fall off to sleep once the canopy has been pulled over to shade the baby.
