Top 20 Lists have Launched!!!

Hi Everyone,

Well a little late, but worth the wait :) Our Top 20 Lists have launched!!!

We assembled a mommy testing goup to evaluate over 160 products this round and boy did we have fun. We had two categories, the Must Have List and the Baby Splurge List. Our mommies tested all of the products based on quality, ease of use, functionality, and style. All of the products that made either list received an overall minimim of 9 out of 10, it was very stiff competition!! Our aim in testing all of these products is to help parents determine which are the best products out there for baby right now and help reassure them that they are making the right choices when shopping for baby!

Please check them out at http://cocobabyboutique.com/pages/MustHaveList.htm and http://cocobabyboutique.com/pages/BabySplurgeList.htm

Top 20 Lists

Hi all,

We are so excited!!! We will be launching our top 20 lists on Friday and we can't wait. Over the late spring/early summer we had our mommy group test over 160 products, I know, I know what you are thinking, and yes we all had a blast! It took a long old time to go through all of the evaluations to determine our Top 20 Must Have's List and our Top 20 Baby Splurge list but we have done it and they are fabulous! This is the second round of testing we have done, the first lists can be viewed at www.peekaboobabyplanners.com

Please check back on Friday to read the reviews and check out the manufacturers websites and you might even get a christmas gift idea or two or three...

Cheers,
Nicole and Heather

Bella Bands, whether you are Pregnant or not....they work!

There is a great product out there for expecting women who want to wear their pre-pregnancy bottoms longer or for those who have maternity clothes that are just that little bit too big for them still! It is the Bella Band.
It works fantastic and we swear they should be marketing them too all women! We all have those days when our pants just are that little bit too tight, Bella Band perfect solution! The creators of the Bella Band have just released 4 new products as well, the Everyday Cami, Ruched Tank, Everywear Pant and the Belly Leggings! For more information visit http://www.ingridandisabel.com/ or if you would like to purchase a Bella Band of your own, please visit us at http://www.cocobabyboutique.com/.

Kemby Diaper Bag

When researching we are continuously coming across new and fantastic products. Well, when we were preparing for Peek-a-Boo Baby Planners current round of testing we came across the Kemby Sidekick! Is it a bag? Is it a baby carrier? No, it’s both!
This ingenious product, looks like a diaper bag but the outer flap actually stores the carrier. In a few short steps your diaper bag converts to a carrier as well! Now we knew this was something our mommy testers had to try......and what was the verdict??? They all LOVED it! This diaper bag/carrier is so fabulous we just had to carry it at Coco Baby Boutique! We are one of only a select few in Canada to carry this awesome bag....www.cocobabyboutique.com

Used Breast Pumps

Used Breast Pumps, to buy or not to buy? The answer is simple, run away as fast as you can! There are many items that a family can purchase second hand as having a baby certainly isn’t cheap, however a breast pump is definitely not one of them. Almost all breast pumps are made for single users. You and baby can become infected from bacteria or blood that is left behind on the pumps if the previous owner had any infections. Please have a look at http://www.breastfeedingonline.com/pumps.shtml for more information!

Tip of the Day :)

Tip of the day; do not cut your baby’s nails while they are sleeping! Although it may seem a lot easier and less stressful than doing it when they are awake, we assure you, you will regret it when they get a bit older. If you have always cut their nails while they are asleep, they will not let you near them the day comes that you try and do it when they are awake. If you start cutting them while they are awake right from the beginning, your child will become accustomed and you will never have an issue!

BabySpareWear

Sending your child off to daycare or maybe even nursery school? Well have you had a look at BabySpareWear at Coco Baby Boutique? These great outfits include a long sleeved shirt, short sleeved shirt and bottoms (for infants) and a short sleeve shirt and bottoms for toddlers. The outfit comes in a fantastic tote bag, which is a great way to send clothes with your child or to put in your diaper bag, no longer do you have to be digging to make sure that they have a complete outfit. The tote is the perfect place to put dirty clothes as well! Our Mommy Testers absolutely loved their Babysparewear. BabySparewear also makes an excellent gift. We are one of 3 Canadian companies to carry this awesome line, so if you haven't, check it out at http://www.cocobabyboutique.com/.
