Sweet Shoes

Sweet Shoes makes the most adorable baby shoes for baby boys and girls. All of the shoes are made to be flexible for a baby's growing feet. Shoes feature no-slip grip and can be worn indoors or outdoors. The metallic Sweet Mary Janes are my personal favorite. The red pair pictured here are just like little Ruby slippers for precious baby feet.

Cool Baby Bouncer!

I am 9 1/2 months pregnant and just received the Combi Pod Baby Bouncer. I can't wait to use this thing! Besides looking like a cool little insect, the Combi Pod Bouncer has great features that make it stand out from other bouncers on the market.

This bouncer has a seat that reclines for nap time, soothing vibrations and music. The music that comes with it is nothing great, but on the back of the bouncer is a place to connect your iPod (or other MP3 player). What a great idea! Now I'm not stuck listening to the same annoying song over and over. Now I just have to create a playlist for baby on my iPod...

The speaker on the bouncer isn't very powerful, but you wouldn't want it to be very loud anyway. The simple clean lines, wooden toys and modern colors really add to the appeal of this bouncer.

Phthalate Free Baby Products!

The latest news surrounding the use of Phthalates and other Xenoestrogens in baby products is downright scary.

In a recent study researchers found evidence of chemicals called phthalates in the urine of 163 infants exposed to a baby product such as shampoo, lotion or powder. The true long term consequences of exposure are not fully known but exposing babies to these chemicals could hurt their reproductive ability later on in life.

To be safe, it would be wise to switch to Phthalate free baby products. Belli Cosmetics makes some great baby skin scare products without these potentially harmful ingredients. The Belli Baby Gift Set includes baby body wash, baby lotion and talc-free powder that is safe to use on your babies skin. Every product, including their pregnancy skin care line, is allergy tested and free of artificial dyes, fragrances, pthalates, and other xenoestrogens.

Read more about these potentially harmful chemicals in this ABC News article.

Note: At Stella Maternity, we are also currently looking into offering more baby skin care and other baby products that are free from these chemicals.

Pacify Your Baby Naturally!

Going green? Go all the way! Eco Piggy has a new all natural pacifier for babies.

The Eco Piggy pacifier is made of pure rubber from the rubber tree (Hevea Brasiliensi). Besides being 100% natural, PVC and phtalate-free, the protein that may provoke a latex allergy is removed from the rubber mass used for these pacifiers, so there is also no risk of latex allergy. The resulting pacifier is naturally softer than silicone and even makes a wonderful teether.

This natural pacifier is a great way for eco-conscience moms to soothe their fussy babies. The clear "coca cola" brown color of the pacifier is natural looking and a nice change from standard pastels.

Hip Baby Announcements!

Ringo Baby makes the most hip and stylish baby announcements I have ever seen.

Their unique baby announcements are sophisticated instead of cutesy. The line includes announcements, invitations, thank you cards, holiday cards, baby bookmarks and even magnets and CD covers.

The personalized CD covers are one of my favorites. A selection of special songs is such a great way to announce a new baby. The covers come with coordinating stick-on CD labels and are perfect for giving as announcements or baby shower favors. The bookmarks and refrigerator magnets are also truly unusual ways to introduce your newborn.

I'm six months pregnant myself and having a hard time deciding which one to choose from all the great styles.
