#NBFluffNStuff Bumgenius Newborn AIO Review and $10 GC to Sweet Bottoms Baby #GIVEAWAY {US only}

I received a Bumgenius newborn AIO in Albert print from Christi over at Pretty Natural Baby for my review. This is what I received:

 

 

 

*the following information taken from the Cotton Babies' website:

Features
An all-in-one is a cloth diaper with the absorbent layer integrated into the waterproof outer layer. It goes on in one step. No stuffing, no diaper cover and no folding means that this is the easiest-to-use and quite possibly, the most convenient newborn diaper you can buy. These fantastic all-in-one diapers are made with an outer fabric that is safe to wash in hot water. The closures are hook & loop, just like disposable diapers. The inner-core is ultra-absorbent. The lining fabric keeps your baby's bottom dry. The tabs have that stretch that you love in deluxe disposable diapers. The ultra-gentle leg elastic will keep the messes in!

The details
Stretchy tabs, hook & loop closures and ultra-gentle leg/back casings guarantee a great fit every time. The soakers are made of our exclusive Cotton Babies microfiber terry. This ensures that your diaper isn't just super-absorbent, it also dries quickly. Just like our pockets, the suedecloth lining keeps your baby's bottom dry and free of irritation caused by wetness and ultra-gentle elastic won't leave red marks.

Sizing bumGenius Newborn cloth diapers fit from 6-12 pounds. They are intended for a newborn and fit low, below the navel, to keep the umbilical area dry. This diaper is designed to fit during that itty-bitty newborn stage.

I have never really been a hook and loop kinda girl until I started cloth diapering this little one. The hook and loop closure on a brand new baby provides the ability to get you just the right fit!
Here are a few other features of this amazing diaper:

 

 

This diaper fit my LO perfectly!

Here are some pictures of this lovely diaper on my little girl:

 

 

This has quickly become the diaper I reach for in my newborn stash. It is an AIO so when you wash it, it takes a bit longer than a pocket to dry, which is ok with me, because it fits so nicely and does not leak!!

 

 

You can purchase the Bumgenius newborn AIO from fine retailers such as Sweetbottoms Baby for a low price of $12.95! Sweetbottoms also offers free shipping within the USA!!

 

Today, I'm offering one of you the chance to win a $10 GC to Sweetbottoms Baby!

#NBFluffNStuff Earth Mama Angel Baby Bottom Balm review and $20 GC #GIVEAWAY to Green Baby Goods {US/Canada}

Do you have a specific shop online that you go to first when you are looking to purchase non-toxic/green items for your family?

I am constantly searching the Internet for the best deals on safe, non-toxic items for my little guys! This is how I found Green Baby Goods!

At Green Baby Goods you'll find things like baby carriers, potty training items, breastfeeding items, and yes, plenty of cloth diapering items as well! They even have a section of 'fluff under $10'

 

 

I was really excited when Green Baby Goods decided to sponsor this event. For my review, I was sent a 2 fl. oz jar of Earth Mama Angel Baby Bottom Balm!

 

This is what I received:

 

 

 

  

I LOVE this balm!! Not only is it all-natural, but it is also cloth diaper safe. Did you know that this balm is also called 'first-aid-in-a-jar?' It is perfect for burns, itches rashes and more! It can even be used during breastfeeding to treat thrush! *nipples need to be cleaned before breastfeeding after application*

I am in love with this stuff.

I was able to test this stuff out before the birth of baby #3 when my 3 yo sun burned his arm on a pan that just came out of the oven. I put it on his burn at night time and within 3 days I noticed a significant reduction of redness and irritation around the burn!

 

This balm comes in very handy! I carry it in my diaper bag. I've not had the chance to use it on a diaper rash, as of yet, but I have no doubt that it will work amazing! It works so well for everything else. No need to worry either that you may be ruining your beloved cloth diaper when using it either, because it's cloth diaper safe!

 

You can purchase this 2 oz jar of Angel Baby Bottom Balm directly from Green Baby Goods for only$14.95

 

But wait, that's not it!! As a sponsor for this event, Green Baby Goods has generously offered one of you the chance to win a $20 GC to be used towards the purchase of anything in their shop!!

#NBFluffNStuff Good Things Green Things {Nourish Organics} products you'll LOVE review and #GIVEAWAY {US only}

Everyone knows that when you are pregnant, and after you deliver, you kind of put yourself aside and are doing all that you can to tend to your new baby!
When I started organizing this event, I wanted to make sure to take some time to review a few items that were especially geared towards me and all you other moms! I believe that it is very important for a momma to take care of herself, so she can be in the best place to take care of her littles!

While browsing the Internet for natural momma (and baby) care items, I came across Good Things Green Things!


I was very impressed with the details of the natural/organic products they had to offer.
I was even more impressed when Good Things Green Things offered to send a special gift basket of items for my review. This is what I received:

I received the Organic Coconut gift set by Nourish Organics (white label) and also the Organic Sweet Orange Gift set by Nourish Organics!
I must say that I am totally in LOVE with these products and I'm not the only one! My 5 yo has a sort of obsession with soap and washing his hands! He loves the coconut and orange wash! I constantly find him in the bathroom washing his hands and he says 'smell mommy, my hands smell so good like an orange coconut.' I love it!
I'd have to say that it's a toss up between the organic coconut balm and the organic sweet orange sugar scrub for my favorite! The coconut balm is going in the diaper bag. It's such an awesome moisturizer that is great for dry, chapped winter skin! I even use it on my face at night! It's awesome!The organic sweet orange sugar scrub is also awesome! I can't believe how great it smells and how clean and moisturized it leaves your skin once you use it!
What's even more awesome about Nourish Organics is that it's made by a work at home mom that lives right here in my own backyard, Franklin TN!

Talk about supporting local businesses and shopping local!
You can purchase both these gift sets directly from Good Things Green Things' website!

Or you can enter to win some of these amazing products of your very own!!
As a sponsor for this event, Good Things Green Things has generously offered one of you the chance to win a Organic coconut gift set (RV $26.75) and an Organic sweet orange gift set (RV $40.85) a total retail value of $67.60!!

#NBFluffNStuff A Happy Green Life Natural Laundry Wash review and #GIVEAWAY {US/CANADA}

Just when I thought I couldn't bear the smell of the laundry room one more time, I opened one of the 3 sample bags of A Happy Green Life natural laundry wash that was sent to me for my review.
You see, we have a cat, and the litter box is in the laundry room. The laundry room seems to always have the smell of 'cats' and I can't stand to go in there! I even change that box every other day and the smell still gets to me!
I was sent three sample bags of A Happy Green Life natural laundry wash for review. I received BFF, Bite Me and Baby Bee! This is what I received:

 

They smell AH-MAH-ZING!!! I am so impressed. Not only did I want to hang out in the laundry room for the remainder of the cycle because it smelled so yummy, but this stuff really gets the job done! I mean my clothes came out perfectly clean with a slight scent afterwards!

This detergent is safe for cloth diapers and really gets them clean as well. There is no residue build up or any other issues that detergents can sometime cause when used on cloth!

 

A Happy Green Life also offers an oxygen booster, a stripping powder, neutralizing powder, kitchen soap, aroma spray, baby wash, body wash and more!

As a sponsor for this event, A Happy Green Life has generously offered one of you the chance to win a 50/100 load bag of their natural laundry wash in winner's choice of scent (RV $10)!

#NBFluffNStuff Ribbon's Surprise Box review and #GIVEAWAY {Ribbon N Stitches} US/Canada

I stumbled across Ribbon N Stitches while surfing the Internet for mama cloth and post partum needs! I was so excited to find Ribbon N Stitches and see the wide variety of natural parenting needs! I was even more excited when Linda agreed to send me a "Ribbon's Surprise Box" for my review.
This is what I received:

The surprise box contained 1 package (set of 3) Bumkins Nursing Pads, ($12.95) 1-2 oz. jar of The Balm nipple soother ($9.99), and 1- 1/4 oz tin of The Balm Pucker lip balm ($3.00)!

I've never (thankfully) suffered from cracked nipples due to breastfeeding, but I do admit it is a bit of a struggle to get through the first two weeks or breastfeeding. The Balm nipple soother was perfect for getting through the first few days of nursing. I love that this nipple balm soothes sore nipples almost instantly and that it is safe to use! There is no need to wash your nipples off after using this product when you are going to nurse your little one! It is made of olive oil infused calendula and chamomile, cocoa butter, shea butter and candelilla wax!

Pair it with the Bumkins nursing pads and you are set! The Bumkins nursing pads are great! I like to use them at night as they are a bit pointy and unless you have a lined nursing bra, you can see the points through your shirt! The nursing pads are made of 4 interior layers of 100% cotton flannel and an exterior shell of waterproof PUL!
Did not experience any leaks with these!
They are great!
I really enjoyed the lip balm as well. It seems I always have dry lips and cannot ever have too much chap stick or lip balm around. The lip balm is made by infusing soothing and healing herbs into replenishing Hawaiian oils & moisturizing butters and then completed with just the right touch of pure, food grade essential oils. This stuff is great. No artificial anything! You don't have to worry that 'chemicals' are getting on your new baby when you are covering them in kisses!

You can purchase the items I received above directly from Ribbon N Stitches' website!
The Bumkins Nursing Pads are $12.95, the 2 oz. jar of The Balm nipple soother is $9.99, and the 1/4 oz tin of The Balm Pucker lip balm is only $3.00!

As a sponsor for the "Newborn Essentials Fluff 'N Stuff" Event, Ribbon N Stitches is giving away one Ribbon's Surprise Box, which will contain 1. The Balm nipple soother, 1. Package of reusable nursing pads and 1. The Balm pucker lip balm to one lucky LWML reader!

#NBFluffNStuff reusable nursing pads review and $30 GC #GIVEAWAY to Well Rounded Baby {US only}

Well Rounded Baby is a great place to shop not only for cloth diapers, but for mama needs, post partum needs, baby carriers, and more!
I came across Well Rounded Baby while searching the Internet for reusable nursing and post partum items. I was so excited when Well Rounded Baby agreed to send me some reusable nursing pads for my review! I received two kinds. The first was a set of 2 pairs of Hemp Babies Milk Weeds nursing pads which are made of 55% hemp and 45% organic cotton! The second set was a package of 3 pairs of Pink Daisy Bamboo nursing pads, which are made of 70% bamboo viscose and  30% organic cotton!
This is what I received:

 

The Hemp Babies Milk Weeds are sewn together at one end for easy cleaning and a faster drying time!

There is a bit of a size difference between the two (Pink Daisy on the left, Milk weeds on the right):

As you can guess, they feel different as well, due to the difference in natural fibers that they are made from!
The Pink Daisy nursing pads (which are 70% bamboo viscose) super soft and silky (even after prepping)! The Milk Weeds are a bit more rough to the touch, but still get the job done!
Both work very well!
I have had no issues with leaks at all! The Pink Daisy nursing pads provide a bit more coverage (as they are bigger in size) but the Hemp Babies Milk Weeds are super absorbent and also do the trick! For me, I prefer to wear the Pink Daisy pads as they feel more comfortable against my skin!
Neither of the nursing pads look bulky under my shirts and I can wear them discretely!
Both of these items are a new-mom must have and can be purchased directly from Well Rounded Baby's website!
The Hemp Babies Milk Weeds retail for $7.00 per pair!
The Pink Daisy nursing pads retail for $11.95 (3 pair pack)

As a sponsor for the "Newborn Essentials Fluff 'N Stuff" Event, Well Rounded Baby is giving away one $30 GC to one lucky LWML reader!
