bumGenius accessories released

January 29th, 2009 Filed under BumGenius!, cloth diapers, new product arrivals.

New in the store – three BumGenius brand diapering accessories.

These are practically necessities no matter what type of cloth diapers you’re thinking of using. We just love these super-silky bamboo baby wipes, diaper pail liner, and a wet bag.

BumGenius makes other bestselling accessories that are already in our store, like the bottom cleaner spray to go with your wipes, the high pressure sprayer to clean diapers before they go in the laundry, and an odor removing spray you can use on diapers or around the house.

The link above opens a PDF of a press release sheet for the popular Tres Tria cosleeping solution.  This bestselling baby item is all-natural inside with an organic cotton sateen cover.

The majority of parents bed share at some point in time – whether it be an occasional night or in the early morning hours. So, not only is the Tres Tria the product for full-time co-sleeping families, it is a wonderful addition to most any family’s sleep routine.

the Toddler Whisperer in the NY Times

January 24th, 2009 Filed under good parenting.

From the Toddler Whisperer article in the NY Times

If there is such a person as a “baby whisperer,” it is the pediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp, whose uncanny ability to quiet crying babies became the best-selling book “The Happiest Baby on the Block.”

Now Dr. Karp, assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of California, Los Angeles, has turned his attention to the toddler years, that explosive period of development when children learn language, motor skills and problem solving, among other things. The rapid pace at which all these changes occur is nothing short of astonishing, but it can also be overwhelming to little brains. A wailing baby is nothing compared with the defiant behavior and tantrums common among toddlers.

Cloth Diapers greener and cheaper in TIME magazine

January 23rd, 2009 Filed under BumGenius!, cloth diapers, Press.

bumgenius cloth diapersTIME magazine tips its hat to the quickly growing cloth diaper population

Here’s the main of it:

But the new cloth diapers are different from the ones that your grandma struggled to get around her baby’s bottom. While approximately half of cloth users still rely on fold-and-pin diapers provided by laundry services, new designs with cutesy names like Fuzzi Bunz, bumGenius, Kissaluvs and Happy Heinys that are made to be washed at home have developed cult followings. Velcro, buttons and snaps have replaced pins, and the diapers are fitted baby cloth diaper coverswith elastic around the openings to hold tight around flailing legs. In place of old-fashioned rubber panties, the new cloths use water-resistant covers made of merino wool, nylon or polyurethane laminate. “They don’t leak or sag or get stinky,” says Jenn Labit [founder of BumGenius].

And though cloth diapers cost from $6 to $18 each, parents can take care of their baby’s needs straight through toilet training for a total cost of less than $300, whereas disposables may run up to $3,000.bumgenius cloth diapers

New photos of Beco Butterfly 2 Duo – organic blue with owls

January 3rd, 2009 Filed under beco butterfly 2, new product arrivals.

We took these photos as soon as the new Butterfly Duo arrived. This is the organic Beco with solid colors and owl design.beco butterfly 2 duo

I was especially impressed by the soft feel of the fabric and the charcoal gray strap color rather than the usual black or brown. This is definitely the one I’d buy :)

These photos show the sleeping hood up in one photo and taken off for the other. The snaps are easy and more functional than the clips on older versions.

Edit January 2010 – all Owl Beco designs are now sold out. No more are being made. 10 other colors are in stock including the newer fall and spring designs.
