Ditch The Milk Bags!

What if you could store your milk in perfect one ounce cubes? No not an ice cube that would be a little tricky getting it to fit through the bottle openings. What about something that could freeze your milk into cubes that could fit through any bottle opening? I was so excited as well as many of the moms on my Breastfeeding Support page to learn about the Milkies Trays! The Milkies Tray was invented by a firefighting mother who wanted to be able to fight fires and and still be able to ensure her baby received breastmilk. To her dismay much of her precious pumped milk was going to waste with her storage bag system. What would happen is she would freeze the milk in the bags and the milk that wasn't used for the present feeding was being discarded. So she came up with the Milkies Trays! It will store her milk in perfect one ounce sticks that can pop right out and placed directly inside the bottle!!! No more having to measure and no wasted milk! Check out Tobi Porter talking all about how the Milkies trays helped her as a working pumping mom! But the trays will work for any mom not just the ones who work! The best part is the trays are reusable! So you can just keep refilling the trays with new pumped milk!! After the second or third refill of the trays it will start paying for itself since you wouldn't have to throw out any bags which means no need to replace anything!

Common Car Seat Fails

Do you get tired of seeing all those Car Seat safety posts? Do you think those that take time and energy trying to inform parents on car seat safety are ridiculous? Some of the most common improper uses of Car Seats are people placing the car seat on top of the cart , forward facing too soon, putting thick coats on while riding in a Car Seat, & improper placement of the Chest clip. Please take a moment and see why so many people have took on the Car Safety awareness cause. 

Exhibit A.) Baby tipping over, falling out of the cart, but luckily the employee had fast reflexes and this baby made it out uninjured, but all babies aren't as lucky. 

Exhibit B.) A simulator showing the difference between a child in a crash in a forward facing position and a rear facing position. 

Exhibit C.) Explaining in depth why putting thick winter coats on your child while they ride in a car seat is unsafe. 

Exhibit D.) Chest Clip positioning...

Are you still unsure why the four examples listed above are not safe? I urge you to do your own research on this matter. Most parents do not even read their own car seat manual, I didn't read my car seat manual. You never would think all these safety precautions would be necessary, but please know that they are. I used to be that parent that put the car seat on top of the cart, had my sons straps in the wrong place, put him forward facing too soon, and he rode in thick jackets. I'm not too proud or prideful to admit I messed up and should have been more knowledgeable about car seat safety. Please remember most car seat safety awareness advocates are doing so to inform and keep babies and your children safe. Unfortunately, many people take the information sharing to be judgmental and take offense to it. I urge you to visit The Car Seat Lady on Facebook and there is also a Car Seats for The Littles group on Facebook. Feel free to join and ask all your questions there! There are plenty of people out there who want to HELP you, not judge you.
