Shampoo made just for pregnant women because when you're pregnant, yes, the world does revolve around you.

Nine Naturals Oh Baby! Shampoo I suppose if you're pregnant and avidly avoiding microwaves and runny cheeses and car exhaust, it makes sense to avoid things like parabens and phthalates too. Which is why I was intrigued by a very caring company called Nine Naturals ... [More]

A little pampering, in whatever spare moments you have

Honestly, I'm not that into bath salts and scrubs and fancy pampering- maybe because my shower lengths are too often determined by how long I can stand to hear the baby cry. But I do understand the advantages of smelling... ... [More]

Keeping them in the tub without having to sing

Jurassic Towel Origami I don't know about you, but I can only reprise the entire Annie soundtrack for so long without wishing for amazing tricks to keep my daughter motivated to scrub. And now, I can. ... [More]

Just when you thought there was nothing new in the world of baby wash cloths

Organic muslin wash cloths Since falling in love with muslin swaddling blankets, I've donated most of my daughter's other blankets to my kids' play bin.

Where tea time and bath time come together.

I dug into my Mother's Day stash of bubble baths recently only to realize that they are filled with tons of artificial chemicals and additives. Hardly a relaxing thought. Cyan Bonacci must have felt the same way since she created Lee-Lai Bathing Teas--which really are all natural. ... [More]

I just checked out one of the designer hooded towels from Tess & Tallulah, and once again I'm smacking myself upside the head and wondering where they were when my babies were cold and wet and drying off with some scratchy, sub-par, threadbare version. ... [More]

Hooded baby towels that actually do what a hooded baby towel is supposed to do. Shocking.

Hooded towels are pretty much a requisite baby registry purchase, but most of the big shops that moms register with offer the thinnest, scratchiest, least absorbent towels in the world. I know. I've been there, as have my poor shivering kids. ... [More]

Bathtime with the MD Moms

It took three tries, but I've finally got a baby who has enjoyed his bath right from the very start. Although his enthusiasm is such that I practically have to wear a rain slicker while bathing him, it also makes it pretty fun to try out bath products--with his help, of course. ... [More]

Say goodbye to terry cloth

I realize that drooling over a baby towel might seem a bit ridiculous, but when your closet is stuffed to the gills with old, rough towels, then you'd be just as excited as I was to wrap your baby up in a Bamboosa Bath Wrap found at Peekagreen. ... [More]
