Mommy's Bliss Sweet Slumber Baby Products Review

One of my favorite times of the day is bedtime with my children. From the time my children are infants, I try to establish a gentle and relaxing bedtime routine. As they grow older, they actually know when it is time to go to bed because I have worked with them from infant-hood on a bedtime routine. My youngest is pushing 10 months old and he too knows when it is time for bed. I don't typically bathe him every night because he has sensitive skin and baths can be drying; but now that he is eating solids, he can become quite grungy during the day and therefore - some days he truly needs a bath by bedtime. I have found that with him, baths can be quite relaxing and they help him if he isn't feeling well. Baths just make him a happy little guy and I like seeing him happy. :)

When Isaac was 5 months old, I reviewed Mommy's Bliss Gripe Water and it worked great for him. Now that he is beyond the point of needing that I am so thrilled to see that Mommy's Bliss has a product line that is perfect for bedtime! Mommy's Bliss Sweet Slumber product line is designed to provide your baby with a relaxing bedtime routine, as well as giving them a deep and peaceful sleep experience each night. Before I continue on, here is a bit more about this fantastic line that is sure to give your baby a wonderful night!

Mommy’s Bliss, makers of the number one selling natural colic remedy in the United States, has just released the Sweet Slumber line of bedtime routine products for infants. The new lineup includes a 3-in-1 Baby Wash, a nightly Massage Cream and a calming bedroom Mist. All three of these new releases contain essential oils that are historically associated with relaxation and sleep such as English Lavender Oil, German Chamomile Extract and Ylang Ylang Flower Oil, among other natural, soothing botanical ingredients. The Sweet Slumber line is 100% vegetarian and vegan and their packaging is 100% recycled with post-consumer resin. Gentle enough for daily use, these products are all hypoallergenic and contain no artificial fragrances, gluten, soy, alcohol, sulfates phthalates or parabens. The Sweet Slumber line will have your little one dreaming peacefully in no time!

Isaac typically does not have issues going to sleep at night; however, he does struggle some nights especially if he is having teething issues or is over tired. I don't have anything special that I do during these times, I just cuddle him as much as I can and then snuggle him in for the night. I was so excited with the opportunity to review this brand new line from Mommy's Bliss...it could quite possibly be the answer to my difficult nights with Isaac!

So, for this review I was sent the full Sweet Slumber product line from Mommy's Bliss. First and foremost, I LOVE the blue bottles. They look so pretty and relaxing and would make a perfect addition to a baby shower gift basket. In this line there is Sweet Slumber Massage Cream, Sweet Slumber 3-in-1 Baby Wash and Sweet Slumber Mist.

Tonight, Isaac was fussing quite a bit before bedtime so I decided to give him a bath using these products. As you can see above, he LOVES bath time and becomes instantly happy when taken in for his bath. I just love those toothy smiles. :)

I love the fragrance of these products. Lavender has long been known for it's relaxing properties and when I added the Sweet Slumber 3-in-1 Baby Wash to his tub, it smelled amazing. Not only is it a baby wash, it is also bubble bath and shampoo. So, he just LOVED to splash in the bubbles. While he was playing, I massaged it into his hair and also washed his body while I was at it. He had a blast. The aroma was wonderful and he was definitely a happy baby.

After his bath, I massaged the Sweet Slumber Massage Cream all over his body. Because he has eczema, I am very careful about what I use on him. This cream is perfect for sensitive skin. He wasn't itching much at all after using this cream and it smelled really nice. Once he was snuggled in his pajamas, he was seriously falling asleep in my arms. By the time I sat down to give him his final feeding for the evening, he was drowsing off.

I have never used anything like the Sweet Slumber Mist before. This is really a neat product. You can spray it on baby's bed linens, blankets and pajamas. I sprayed it around the room prior to putting Isaac to bed and it (again) smelled wonderful. I can really see how it would help a baby sleep. As I am typing this out, Isaac has been sleeping now for over an hour and is sleeping SOUNDLY. There hasn't been a peep out of him. I can tell you that these products are wonderful when it comes to relaxing my baby. The scent, the massage and the spray are all working nicely to give him a good night's rest.

The prices for these products (which you can find at Walgreens nationwide) are as follows:

Mommy's Bliss Sweet Slumber 3-in-1 Baby Wash ~ $7.99

Mommy's Bliss Sweet Slumber Massage Cream ~ $6.99

Mommy's Bliss Sweet Slumber Mist ~ $5.99

You can also find Mommy's Bliss on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube and also on their blog! I am sure they would love to meet you so be sure to stop on by and let them know that you read all about them here! :)

So, in my opinion...I am so happy with the Mommy's Bliss Sweet Slumber line! My son is totally relaxed after being treated to these products and I just love how great they smell. The ingredients are all natural, soothing and relaxing for both baby and mom. After my experience with the Sweet Slumber line, I would definitely recommend it to anyone...parents, care-takers and grandparents. You will enjoy a happy and relaxed baby which means one thing: YOU will sleep well too!

Solving Tummy Troubles With Mommy's Bliss Gripe Water

When my first baby was born, she was a DREAM. In the hospital, that is. When we brought her home, she screamed our whole first night together. I vividly remember sitting in the easy chair the next morning, my new baby in my arms, sobbing as my mom walked through the door. Mom took one look at the baby, then at me. She took Hannah, told me to go get a shower and go to bed IMMEDIATELY. Ha! I must have looked a wreck! The diagnosis? Colic. My daughter cried her whole first 3 months of life and because I was a new mom, I really had no idea what to do. All the books said that there was nothing for colic and no way to solve the issue other than to massage, give warm baths and cuddle. My mom used gripe water with her babies, but the store that carried it when she had babies no longer did and I never did the research to find a solution that worked and just dealt with my fussy baby. Now that I have two more children, I have learned a few things and the NUMBER ONE thing that I have learned is that there is help for colicky babies!!!

I think that every baby suffers from fussiness of some kind and thankfully, I have only ever had one colicky baby. My other two (both boys) had gas alot and I had to be careful what I ate as it was transmitted through the breast milk and made their tummies unhappy. I have been trying different gas relief methods for my newest baby, Isaac and have narrowed my search down to several brands that I am loving! The latest brand that I have tried is called Mommy's Bliss Gripe Water and it is very nice! A mom-founded company, Mommy's Bliss has become the #1 selling Gripe Water and one of the reasons I really like it is because it was created by a mom who saw the need for gripe water in the US and made it available! Here is more of her story...

Roshan Kaderali is originally from Tanzania and later became a resident of Scotland. She has lived permanently in the United States for more than 35 years.

When Roshan began her nursing practice in the U.S., she recommended Gripe Water for infant colic and fussiness. She quickly learned that it was not available in America. Working with an FDA-registered cGMP (current good manufacturing practice) laboratory, Roshan developed the first all-natural Gripe Water for the American market. The continuous stream of letters of appreciation she received from doctors and parents alike was both gratifying and inspiring.

From there, Roshan developed many other products based on her years of experience working with infants and new parents. Today, Mommy’s Bliss® offers a variety of dependable products for mothers and babies, all based on natural ingredients and all aiming to comfort the baby and the mommy.

When she’s not at the Mommy’s Bliss office, Roshan volunteers with the FAME (Foundation for African Medicine and Education) clinic in East Africa and the San Francisco Homeless Prenatal Program. She also enjoys teaching knitting through after-school programs, going to the symphony and travelling around the world.

I love how Roshan sees the importance of investing her time in the well-being of mothers around the world. Being a mom is not easy and having the tools necessary to make life simpler and more enjoyable are key to being a HAPPY mom!

So, for this review I was sent some Mommy's Bliss Gripe Water to try on Isaac and share my thoughts with you!

The one complaint that I have with my current colic remedy is that it is black in color and stains clothing and my son hates the flavor. This gripe water from Mommy's Bliss is clear in color and has a very nice flavor too. Also, it is all natural with organic fennel and ginger...which is very soothing for tummies! You don't need to refrigerate it and it is 100% vegetarian and vegan. My son gets fussy at all different times of the day and I find that having something to help his tummy makes him a wee bit happier. In the photo above, you can see he is slightly distressed. I wasn't sure what the issue was (gas, colic, teething), but it was one of those times when I tried Mommy's Bliss Gripe Water.

This Gripe Water comes with a medicine dropper so you can properly measure and comfortable administer the water to your baby. I have read several reviews stating that the dropper is too big and dispenses too quickly but frankly, my son did great with it and I have no complaints about it.

For my son, I used a whole teaspoon of Mommy's Bliss Gripe Water, which was about two full droppers. He didn't cry at all when I dispensed it into his mouth. When I first saw that I would have to give him two dropper fulls, I was immediately concerned. It is all I can do to get him to take 1/4 teaspoon of my other remedy without screaming and spitting it out! He LOVED this Gripe Water and it went down very easily.

I was very pleased to find that Isaac was a much happier baby after I gave him the Mommy's Bliss Gripe Water. While it didn't work as well as my other colic remedy, it still worked for him and is a cheaper alternative at just about $12 (the other brand is over $20).

You can connect with Mommy's Bliss on many different social networking platforms...they are everywhere and ready to help you! Like Mommy's Bliss on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest and their blog as well! So many different ways to get in touch...I love it!

So, in my opinion...Mommy's Bliss Gripe Water is a fantastic product! It worked well for my son and has helped us through some tough, fussy times. I would definitely recommend this product to any mom out there who has a colicky and/or gassy baby...there is HOPE and there is natural help for you! Check it out today and begin your journey to blissful parenting!! :)
