Pump In Style, Advanced Backpack breast pump by Medela (www.medela.com)  Loaded!  Comes with backback, protected picture frame, ergonomic padded straps, removable cooler carrier with ice packs, and so much MORE!  Most advance retail pump available!  (Will let you know how it works when the system is up and running.)
Medela offers a range of breast pumps and their newest model, the Pump In Style Advance gives moms on the go the flexibility and ease to pump quickly and discreetly anywhere.  This unit offers a durable, multi-pocketed, professional-looking bag with a reliable pump that can handle two breasts at once in a very short period of time. Included are a battery pack, which allows pump to be used anywhere, and basic accessories needed to start pumping.  An improvement I noticed is that the breast shields are removable for easier washing.  This unit is ideal for any Mom on the go who chooses to breastfeed.  You can pump a bottle to allow others to participate in the feeding process.  You can even pump virtually anywhere thanks to the battery pack.  The unit is quick, easy, and painless to use.  While the cost seems restrictive initially, you will still save in the long run as compared to the cost of formula.  In addition, you and your baby will reap the benefits of breastfeeding.  Why not do it in style and comfort?

Time Out Spots Created by teacher turned mom, Heather Sievers, Time Out Spots are the solution to unsuccessful time outs. Heather was inspired by her then three year old son, Hayden. She started his time outs on a little wooden stool, which immediately became a problem. The stool would get flipped over and scooted around. The last straw was when he picked it up, held it to his bottom, and walked around saying, "I'm still in time out, my bootie is on the stool. Time Out had turned into a game. The family needed a new time out spot! Deciding that a rug would be great for this, Heather designed the Time Out Spot and went on a mission to have it manufactured.  Time Out Spots are 27 inches in diameter and are machine washable. They are super soft, 100% acrylic, similar to a bath mat, and have a non-skid back so that children cannot 'scoot' around the room while in time out. Time Out Spots are currently available online at www.timeoutspots.com. They are also sold in over 100 retail stores (26 states & 3 countries), continuing to add more each day. The retail price ranges between $22 & $25. Time Out Spots are ALWAYS a hit gift (to the parents anyway). All Time Out Spots come bagged with a matching hangtag and ribbon closure. Time Out Spots are a fun, yet practical item. They have been used with not only children but with husbands, pets, and at the office as well!  All little darlings can be mischievous. Put them on the spot with Time Out Spots. The perfect place for when the going gets rough!

Snugglebug Baby was founded by Maquel McQuarrie, a mother of two who was tired of lost, dropped, and dirty pacifiers.  As I shopped for a solution to my dilemma, I was dissatisfied with the current clips on the market. The strings or ribbons used to attach the pacifier to the clip quickly became dirty. It was clear to me that the world was in need of a pacifier clip as unique and adorable as the babies who use them.  The main focus of our design process was to create a functional pacifier clip that would reach beyond its original purpose and become the perfect accessory to showcase each child's particular style.  After months of testing and design, Snugglebug Baby successfully launched its line of Pacifier Clips in January 2005.  Whether you are interest in elegant, feminine pacifier clip for their little princess or a masculine clip for their baby athletes, they are sure to find it in our collection.  The pacifier clips retail for $25.  They can be purchased directly from their website, www.snugglebugbaby.biz, or from many elite retailers across the country.

Shrnk
Los Angeles based infant and toddler apparel line, Shrnk, is making a name for itself as a consistent player in the increasingly competitive children¹s business.  Owners / designers, Gia Von Sylcott and Lena Wu-Fuentes take their cues from the adult contemporary market shrinking themes and trends into smaller sizes. The result is a fun, fresh line that speaks to the trendy customer yet remains age appropriate for kids and baby.  The Shrnk girls met on the job working for an apparel manufacturer and soon discovered that they each had an interest in starting baby line. Combining their 30 something years of design and production experience, they jumped into the world of infant apparel manufacturing and Shrnk, an acronym for stylin' hip rags for newborns and kids, was born.  For a while they worked their day jobs and worked on Shrnk at night. Last year realizing that they had a real company with some real business, they quit their day jobs to focus on Shrnk full time. The result has been that their business has tripled, now selling hundreds specialty stores and on line retailers, all baby styles outlets, and over 50 Nordstrom doors. Their ABCD (ACDC) tees have become a popular item, selling out at retail and frequently popping up in celebrity gift bags. They have launched a new playwear/loungewear division, Just Hangin¹ for fall 2006 and hope to add other categories for 2007.  With Lena just having her first baby, the Shrnk girls have some real inspiration, so be sure to keep an eye out for what is next.www.shrnk.com
