Mother's Day Gift idea's

If you're a New Mom or Mother to be, Mother's day is a great time to drop a couple of hints for a chic new diaper bag or a fashionable new nursing cover! Great gift ideas abound at Rattle and Stroll. If you're in the market for a new diaper bag that looks more like a purse and less like a diaper bag, check out Stork Sak and Baby Mel bags. These bags offer everything you would want in a diaper bag like insulated pockets, a change pad and hard wipes case but at the same time are super styling! Another great option is a Bebe au Lait nursing cover, these nursing covers are functional allowing you to see baby while keeping other peoples gazes out but at the same time are cute with beautiful prints and fabrics. Other ideas are knit beanie caps that read "I love Mom" or wonderful bath products such as Burt's Bee's Peppermint Leg cream or Substance Belly Jelly for the pregnant mama. Come in to Rattle and Stroll and let us help you find the perfect gift for Mom this Mother's day!

Even though its been a mild winter it is nice to finally see the shift happening and the weather starting to warm up! It's time to start thinking about those lazy days of summer! Come in and check out our new swim diapers and board shorts that have built in swim diapers, a great product and great investment for saving money on disposable swim diapers (that do little more than contain the mess). Also, we have a great selection of hooded towels and robes to keep your little ones warm and dry poolside! Don't forget about sun protection, we carry both natural sunscreen and Baby Banz to protect little eyes from the sun with 100% UVA and UVB protection. With new products for spring and summer arriving everyday stop on by for a visit to Rattle and Stroll!

Happy Earth Day!

As today is Earth Day I thought I would take a minute and give everyone a few things to ponder. Every little bit helps!

Cloth diapering: Ever thought about cloth diapering? If you have, you should know that you are keeping an estimated 8000 potential disposable diapers from entering our landfills. Yep! Can you believe it! 8000 diapers, that's the estimated number a child goes through from birth till potty trained. You are also saving energy, water, and money. Cloth diapering is a lot more simple today then ever before almost as easy disposables and definitely worth some consideration. Check back on our blog in the coming months as I will be doing an in-depth blog on the ins and outs of cloth diapering!

Several good reasons to choose Bamboo: Bamboo is a highly renewable resource and requires less processing then other fabrics and does not require pesticides to grow thereby decreasing its effects on the environment. As well, bamboo remains hypoallergenic even after several washes is naturally antimicrobial, and is super soft to the touch.
