Get a nursing shield!

Gift for New Moms
A nursing shield makes a fantastic mother day gift for any new mother who is nursing. Or any veteran mother with a nursing baby, for that matter. Why? Because nursing shields, or cover-ups, as they might be called, are not that common. This makes it a one-of-a-kind present. Many new mothers (not to mention most people) have never even heard ofthem. So if you are looking to stand out from all the other gift givers this Mother’s Day with a gift that she’ll appreciate for many months to come and be constantly reminded what a clever and thoughtful person you are, then send her a nursing shield.

In case you don’t know what a nursing shield is, it’s a lightweight piece of fabric just large enough to cover a nursing baby, and has a small, flexible ring attached at the top that holds the top of the shield out just enough so mom can peak down at her nursing infant. It easily hangs from mom’s neck so she can have BOTH hands free for holding the baby and helping the baby get access to mom’s milk. Would that make a cool Mother’s Day gift or what!

Think about what nursing moms have to do without one. Imagine the nursing mom who goes out to dinner at a sit-down restaurant. Baby’s in his car seat at her feet. Baby starts to get fussy. Mom knows it’s time for a feeding. She either has to leave the restaurant and go sit in the car to nurse; go into the women’s bathroom and sit on the toilet; or try use the baby’s cumbersome blanket and keep it up high enough while simultaneously trying to situate the baby and handle wardrobe issues.

(Having nursed several babies with this ‘blanket’ method, I know there have been several occasions when I’ve accidentally flashed strangers in public when I didn’t have enough hands to keep the blanket covering me! I wish I had received a nursing shield as a mother day gift long ago.)

But with a nursing shield, that mom in the restaurant can easily and discreetly put baby in one arm, grab the nursing shield with her free hand, then drape the shield around her neck. Then using that same hand, which is once again free, she can give the baby access without a worry of being seen, and all the time being able to clearly see the baby.

Plus, since the material is thin and the flexible ring is…well…flexible, the nursing shield can easily be folded up (like those cool windshield covers for cars) small enough and thin enough to slip into a diaper bag.

So if you’d like to win some brownie points with a nursing mother this Mother’s Day, then pick a mother day gift she’ll not only be delighted with, but will use regularly. And don’t forget, you get the fun of choosing the cute pattern!

Mother’s Day Gifts

If you have children you are probably already aware of the fact that there are many dangers that your child is going to face as they are growing up. But as a parent you have probably also heard of those horror stories that some families face when it comes to hiring people to watch their children. And the worst thing is that many of these offenses actually occur in the privacy of your own home. It seems that public daycares are held to a stricter guideline then people who come into your home to tend to your own children. And as a parent you know that the most important job that you are going to have is to make sure that your child is safe from every possible danger you can. But perhaps the most important danger you need to protect them from is from something that can happen in your own home.

And because of how many people actually hire people to come into their house to care for their children we needed to come up with some kind of solution that allowed us to monitor the people who watched our kids. Basically we needed to come up with a way to see what these people were doing while we were not at home but we also needed to make sure that they had no idea that we were watching them. So basically the nanny camera was invented. The Nanny Cam is actually a hidden video camera, which because of how small they are can actually be hidden anywhere. But calling it a Nanny Cam actually sounds better than saying a hidden camera. But another thing that makes these Nanny Cams stand out compared to hidden cams is the fact that the hidden cameras are usually placed in some kind of nursery décor so that they can be easily concealed in the areas that your child and nanny are in the most. But you can also place these hidden cameras in other objects as well throughout your house.
