These products could easily become essentials for the first year of motherhood. Introducing The Cozy Collection, Breast Buddies, Spa La La Hot and Cold Packs, and Mommy and Baby™ Calming Aromatherapy Oil.

The Cozy Collection is Like a Healing Hug!

The Cozy Collection by Pritty Imports may be the cutest of the soothing solutions; an adorable range of “fully microwaveable plush animals” aimed to please. Each is filled with 100% natural wheat and gently scented with dried French lavender. Heated in just two minutes, they provide warmth, soothing relief, and a wonderful, calming aroma. You can also use these cozies cold, after 2 to 3 hours in the freezer. Great for aching joints.

Beddy Bear™, the world’s first fully microwaveable teddy bear, has sold over one million worldwide! This product is recommended for ages three and older. A boo-boo bear, ready to hug out the hurt.

Now Beddy Bear also includes a den of Cozy Cubs, plush zoo animals, presented in attractive gift boxes. They also offer the comfort and soothing benefits of natural wheat and lavender.

Breast Buddies Make Compressing Easy

Breast Buddies, by The Happy Company, are natural cotton-covered reusable compressing pads. They are filled with soothing flax seeds and a rose-lavender herbal blend. They provide the soothing and relaxing properties of aromatherapy, even through layers of clothing.

Whether mothers choose to breastfeed or not, they may experience discomfort with breast tenderness, engorgement, milk stimulation and reducing milk production. These pads were designed with all new moms in mind. They can be heated or cooled, whichever provides the most comfort. It is recommended that new moms use them in combination with a leak-protection pad, as they are not intended to stop leaks. They are easily spot cleaned with a damp cloth.

It’s made of pure organic essential oils of lavender and chamomile to promote calmness and help ensure a good night’s sleep. It also helps relieve nausea in pregnancy. To use, add a few drops to bath water, a pillow or blanket.
