What’s New at Lysol?

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to Mommy Daddy Blog. We wouldn't want you to miss out on our updates or giveaways ;-)! Thanks for visiting!

Lysol Wipes Lysol To GoI remember reading on a mother’s blog about how she had taken her child to the doctor for a checkup. Since her child was not sick, she sat on the side designated for well patients in the waiting room. Shortly after, two women brought in a sick child and sat on the side designated for well patients. The sick child, who didn’t even belong in the well patient area, threw up all over the area and the women accompanying the sick child didn’t even attempt to clean up the mess. (If you were the mom who blogged about this, let me know!) Makes you think twice about sitting in the doctor’s office, doesn’t it?

I know that a lot of moms pack Lysol Disinfecting Wipes in their purses and diaper bags for this very reason. Lysol has made their Disinfecting Wipes even better. They are now made with Micro-Lock fibers, making them 50% stronger than leading disinfecting wipes. They can even tackle baked on grease. This is perfect for those who use them for quick cleaning jobs in the kitchen like I do.

In addition to Lysol improving their disinfecting wipes, they have come out with a new product, Lysol To Go Disinfectant Spray. Being the germaphobe that I am, I keep a tube in my purse along with hand sanitizer and everything but a raft. Lysol To Go is perfect for those on the go. Lysol To Go can be used on changing tables, play areas, exercise equipment, public telephones, public computers, toilet areas, faucets, sink areas, door knobs, light switches, and table tops. Of course the list can go on! Keep a tube in a purse, diaper bag, gym bag, or even coat pocket! For those wondering about the smell, Lysol to Go comes in a one of my favorite scents, Crisp Linen. It smells really good and isn’t overpowering!

BabyPlus Encourages Cognitive Development

In the prenatal months, a baby’s brain is at its most receptive stage of learning. This would explain why pregnant women are constantly told to talk to, sing to, and play music to their bellies. When hearing the same sounds outside of the womb, babies tend to react to them positively. The sounds that they’ve heard inside of the womb help them relax once exposed to the world outside.

Daddy and I talk to my belly and in addition we use a product called BabyPlus. The BabyPlus is a device that introduces patterns of sound to a prenatal child. The BabyPlus is programmed with 16 one hour lessons that resemble the rhythm of a heart beating, a language that a baby recognizes best. The rhythms gradually increase when advancing to each new lesson. It is recommended that pregnant women start BabyPlus lessons at 18 weeks. At 18 weeks a mother should start on lesson one and should play each lesson for one hour twice a day for 7 days. After an hour has passed, BabyPlus will cut off automatically. BabyPlus comes with a chart which lists allow you to record your week of pregnancy, the day and times you had your lessons, and the baby’s response to the lessons. There is also a chart that tells you how many days to use BabyPlus according to the week of pregnancy you are in. So if you are past 18 weeks, you can still use BabyPlus!

Studies have shown that babies that have been exposed to BabyPlus prenatal curriculum are born more relaxed and alert. They are more responsive, interactive, and are ready to start observing the environment around them. Parents who have used BabyPlus have reported that their babies nurse more readily and self-soothe more easily. As they grow older they demonstrate earlier developmental milestones, have longer attention spans, and improved school readiness. Check out what parents have to say about BabyPlus.

BabyPlus can be compared to a prenatal vitamin. Prenatal vitamins encourage strong physical development and BabyPlus encourages strong, cognitive development. This being said, don’t expect BabyPlus to turn your baby into a genius; BabyPlus just simply strengthens the foundation for learning.

I started using BabyPlus at 24 weeks and I will admit to missing quite a few days due to being overwhelmed with business and tasks at home. Since I threw my BabyPlus schedule off so bad, I decided to start over because I wanted to do it RIGHT. I found that the best time to do BabyPlus lessons are while doing housework or exercising, that way the beating sounds are less distracting. It is said that babies inside of the womb may react while BabyPlus lessons are in session. Some babies will move to the rhythm of the beats and some may settle down as if they are observing the sounds. When I use BabyPlus, I don’t notice a significant change in Jayden’s movements. Jayden’s really frisky, so he twists and turns during BabyPlus lessons as he would when lessons aren’t in session.

This is my experience with BabyPlus thus far. I still have 6 weeks of pregnancy and 10 BabyPlus lessons to go. I don’t know if we’ll be able to determine the effect, if any, BabyPlus has on Jayden since he is our first child and we have nothing to compare it to. But of course we’ll be documenting all of Jayden’s developments here on Mommy Daddy Blog. So we’ll see!

YoMommy Yogurt: Fortified For Expecting Moms

YoMommy Yogurt I recently received coupons to try YoMommy and YoBaby Yogurt, so on our latest trip to the grocery store we picked up a 4 pack of YoMommy in raspberry and blueberry flavors. I’m saving the YoBaby coupon for when Jayden is old enough to eat yogurt. As for YoMommy, it is a low fat, organic yogurt that is formulated to meet the special nutritional needs of moms and their developing babies. YoMommy is ideal for expecting and breastfeeding mothers. YoMommy is formulated with DHA, Folic Acid, and vitamin D and contains no artificial colors or sweeteners. YoMommy is available in packs of 4, with two flavors per pack: strawberry and peach; or blueberry and raspberry. Each flavor contains organic fruit pieces at the bottom!

So I bet you are wondering how YoMommy tastes. Well, YoMommy yogurt is full of flavor perhaps more flavor than ordinary yogurts. The only difference that I noticed is that YoMommy is a thinner yogurt, so it kind of drizzles off of the spoon, which isn’t a problem.

Each year Stonyfield Farm gives away 10 percent of its profits to organizations and projects that work to protect and restore the earth. In addition, Stonyfield Farm will be donating $1 for every click to Environmental Working Group to help protect families from harmful chemicals in foods. Stonyfield Farm will donate up to $20,000 to this cause, and you can help make this possible by visiting their donation page. Enter your email address in the form and click the cutie pie underneath. When you do this you will be taken to a page where you can download a Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce. This wallet sized guide will help determine the fruits and vegetables that should be purchased organic based on their pesticide levels.

If you’d like to try YoMommy yogurt, I’ve included a link to a printable coupon below. YoMommy is available in all major grocery stores. If you plan on trying YoMommy yogurt, or already have, I’d love to know what you think of it!

Get Your Boogie Oogie Woogie On With Baby Jamz!

Personally I’m not a fan of the Kid’s Bop commercials that are played on TV, I find them annoying. But when I found out about Baby Jamz, I was all kinds of giddy! Baby Jamz, founded by Matthew and Solange Knowles, is the first EVER Hip Hop/Rhythm inspired toy line for babies and preschool children. It’s nice to have something different from traditional toys!

Baby Jamz CD - Nursery Rhymes Volume 1Baby Jamz CD - Nursery Rhymes Volume 1
In Nursery Rhymes Volume 1, Solange Knowles and friends add a Hip Hop and R&B twist to nursery rhyme favorites. We will definitely be bumping this CD in the future minivan, lol! I was teasing Daddy about playing the CD in the car. People will be thinking that we’re listening to the latest Hip Hop and R&B, until Daddy gets out of the car to pump gas and everyone hears *Twiiiiinkle twiiiiinkle liiittle staaaaaaaaar*! I played the CD for my cousin’s son (2 years) and daughter (16 months) and they danced and even sang along to the songs!

babyjamzkeyz.jpgBaby Jamz Jingle n’ Jam Key Chain
These little keys play clips from the Baby Jamz CD - Nursery Rhymes Volume 1 and the sound of a revving engine. The volume level is really low though, so the the Baby Jamz clips and revving engine sound can just barely be heard. I just think that they could be a tad bit louder. I can’t believe I just said that. You’d think a parent would want toys to be as silent as possible! I’m pretty sure the low volume issue will be addressed in later versions of Baby Jamz Jingle n’ Jam Key Chain. Sound or not, kids love colorful keys!

Baby Jamz products are currently only available at Walmart. I’m assuming that in the future they will expand to other stores. After all, it could help get these awesome toys in the hands of more babies and tots who love to jam!
