• The Babble Review: Bumkins Bibs with Giveaway!

  Perhaps you’ve seen these stylish bibs on the sidelines of Drool. Look! They’re right over there →. We got to see them in person and yep, they’re cute! The Bumkins come in a wide variety of hip design options; we especially like Chunky Monkey, as seen above. These durable bibs are waterproof so you can just wipe them right off after a dousing of butternut squash mush - a most appealing alternative to damp, smelly cloths piling up around the house. (Although they are also machine washable if you’re the disinfecting type.) You can feel good about wrapping these soft bibs around your babe's neck . . . Read More...

• 5 Ways Not to Kill Your Children With Baby Products

  Born Free glass bottle: one of many safe alternatives. As I type this, I'm eating lunch from a curiously soapy-smelling plastic container that I've just pulled out of the microwave -- physician heal thyself, indeed. When it comes to what my kids ingest, however, I'm far more cautious -- and, no doubt like you, I'm becoming overwhelmed by news stories about hormone disruption, lead poisoning, choking hazards and other potentially deadly undersides to what've long been considered staples of parental consumerism (read: affordable plastic baby crap). Here, then, a round-up of five sources to help you understand why some old-fashioned methods of feeding, washing and playing with your child are becoming increasingly dangerous. Read More...

• Jessica Alba Gives Tastybaby

  Mom-to-be Jessica Alba had a baby shower last weekend, and as a party favor to the guests she gave out goodie bags from Tastybaby. I'm not sure exactly why most shower guests would want or need a blue "eco-tote" bag full of organic baby food and recipes, but I'm guessing it didn't cost Jessica Alba much anyway. [UPDATE: According to a rep from Tastybaby, the bags contained a bottle of champagne and the "Life's A Peach" baby food - the makings for the Bellini's that were served at the shower. Baby food and booze? Now you're speaking my language. -mdd] Read More...

• Baby Food Porn: 10 Sources of Natural Num-Nums

  (Happy Baby frozen organic baby foods; photo by Maren Caruso) It's easy, convenient and, perhaps best of all, really cheap to load your cart with 50-cent jars of pureed, cooked-to-within-an-inch-of-its-life sustenance, but for parents seeking something more than Beech-Nut or Gerber, the main option has traditionally involved a food processor, frequent trips to the produce aisle, and lots of trial and error. For those of us who are pressed for time, however, there's an ever-growing number of flash-frozen, refrigerated and nutrient-packed food available, much of it with the organic and all-natural clout to match its good taste. After the jump: 10 healthful baby-food lines even we at Droolicious would eat -- and many we already have. Read More...

• Organic Baby Food Invented by Designer Mom

  Fifibear's Brasserie was created by designer-turned-mompreneur Roxanna Bina.  Picky son Felix (nickname Fifibear, hence the company name) had Roxy making all his meals from organic food, and pretty soon her creations caught on with her friends.    All meals are prepared and immediately frozen, and are made without salt, oils, additives, preservatives or fillers.  Definitely a healthier choice than those Hungry Man dinners you've been heating up for baby.  The entire product line is Stage 2 food, suitable for 6-18 month olds.   Available online and at several stores in the Los Angeles and Santa Barbara areas, for $48/case of 12 recyclable plastic containers.  Shipping within California, the delivery charge is $48 per case; throughout other parts of the country delivery increases to $79 per case.  5% of sales go to Cure Autism Now.
