Tips For Pool Safety With Small Children

If you are searching for tips on pool safety for small children, then you want to consider the following pool safety tips. You can never be too careful when it comes to making sure your children are safe in and around your pool. To make sure that your children stay safe, you need to take some extra precautions to make sure they are safe when in and out of the pool. In addition to warning them about the dangers of diving into shallow water, you want to invest in life jackets for younger children to wear, swimwear with built-in flotation devices, inflatable armbands, special footwear and purchase at least one life preserver.

Swimwear That Helps Children Float

If you have small children, then you should definitely invest in life jackets and swimwear with built-in flotation devices for very small children who cannot swim. In addition, you should also purchase inflatable armbands that are designed to help children swim and stay above water. Although swimwear with built-in flotation devices and armbands offer no guarantee that a child will not drown, a life jacket is designed to keep children above water. Although safety swimwear and armbands can help children swim, they are not as reliable as life jackets. Whether your children know how to swim or not, you should encourage all of your children to wear some safety gear whenever they are in and around the pool just in case.

Hang Life Preservers on a Gate or Wall Close by

If you have children that like to swim or children that come to your home to swim in your pool, then you want to make sure you have one or more life preservers on hand that you can use in emergency situations. . Life preservers save lives because they can be used to retrieve children and adults quickly from a pool should an emergency arise. Life preservers come in different sizes, so you may want to consider investing in different size life preservers.

Proper Footwear Should be Worn Around The Pool

One of the easiest ways to help keep small children stay safe in and around the pool you should encourage them to wear adequate footwear when walking around the pool. Wearing slip-free rubber soled shoes can help children from slipping and falling into the pool. In addition, wearing the proper footwear when walking around can also help prevent children from burning their feet on the pavement that can get extremely hot during the day.

Warn Small Children About Diving Into Shallow Water and The Deep End

To avoid accidents, you should instruct your children never to jump or dive into a pool unless they are using a designated diving board. In addition, children should be instructed not to jump into the pool or swim to and from the deep end of the pool unless they really can swim back and forth on their own. Lastly, children who do not have a lot of experience swimming should be instructed to stay in the shallow end and never to swim to the deep end of the pool. By taking the time to talk to your children and warn them of the dangers of swimming to the deep end and diving from undesignated areas, you will be on your to making sure your children stay safe when in and out of your pool.

If you own a home with a pool, then your number one priority is to make sure you keep your small children safe when they are in and out of the pool. In addition to taking the time to discuss the dangers of swimming and diving, you should also invest in life jackets, special swimwear with a built-in flotation devices, inflatable armbands, special footwear and life preservers.

Smart Snugs Simple Snug Ai2 & Giveaway

I love cloth diapers and trying out new ones. I was excited when Smart Snugs asked me to try out their newest diaper

. I tried out their Simple Snug Ai2 and 6 layer bamboo with cotton with gussets and the 6 layer charcoal bamboo with gussets.

The SimpleSnug™ all-in-two was designed to create a simple and versatile cloth diaper solution for busy parents!

With this diaper, there is no need to grab a whole new diaper every time you need to change your baby, simply replace your insert and reuse your cover! This system makes it easy to be out and about with your cloth diapers (less bulk in your bag!) and makes changes a snap!

Use with any of our FIVE insert options to create a customized cloth diaper solution for your family.

Features:
-Double gussets prevent leaks and provide a great fit. They also keep your insert in place.
-Super soft moisture-wicking microfleece pockets in the front and back of the diaper keep insert in place and keep baby try around the stomach and back.
-Use with any of our FIVE insert options! Inserts are available in stay-dry and feel damp designs to fit your specific needs.
-Waterproof-backed inserts keep the cover dry and allow for multiple uses of the cover between changes.
-No stuffing, simply press your insert into the cover, put the diaper on your baby, and go!
-Waterproof PUL cover prevents leaks.
-Our adjustable rise system allows this diaper to fit babies from 8 to 35 pounds.
-Overlapping and adjustable waist snaps allow a customized fit.
-Hip snaps ensure a secure fit around your baby's legs and prevent "wing droop".

I really love the inserts they so nice.

Use with our all-in-two OR pocket diaper! This versatile insert is designed to be silky soft while soaking up tons of liquid!
All new insert gussets provide a precise fit while concealing liquids!

Features:
-Gussets shape the insert to create a natural fit on your baby while concealing liquids.
-Extra large size provides unbeatable protection. You won't find another insert like this!
-Two layers of bamboo cotton soak up liquids while preventing odors and bacteria. 3 more layers of microfiber soak up liquids.
-Bottom layer of waterproof PUL keeps liquid concealed and allows you to re-use your cover.
-Use in your Smart Snugs all-in-two diaper, or with any Smart Snugs pocket diaper. This insert can be used inside your pocket diaper, or on top of the fleece if you wish to reuse your cover and just switch out inserts!

 

Why so many layers? Each layer has a very specific function! Layer 1 & 4: Bamboo cotton: An extremely absorbent material that also fights odors and bacteria. Designed to absorb liquids and keep them inside while trapping odors. Layers 2, 3, and 4: Microfiber: Absorbs liquid quickly and keeps it inside. Layer 6: Waterproof PUL: Keeps all the liquid inside the insert, to protect your diaper cover. Allows you to re-use your all-in-two diaper cover OR pocket diaper if this insert is placed on top of the fleece instead of in the pocket!

Tech Specs Materials: 100% Bamboo Cotton Layers (2).    100% Polyester base microfiber layers (3). 100% Polyester PUL layer (1)   Here is the diaper in action. We cant forget the backside shot too! Baby is 11 lbs in this pic and it is on the tightest setting. I love the double gussets and the inserts fit in so nice and we did not have any leaks. Some of my inserts turned pink so I would wash this cover first by itself.

Neater Feeder for cats

The Neater Feeder is designed with protective walls to contain splashes and spills from an inadvertent kick or an excited pet. This revolutionary system holds spilled food in an upper reservoir while spilled water flows down a gentle slope through a patent-pending filtering system.
The spilled water drains into a lower reservoir that can safely contain more than an entire bowl of spilled water, keeping it off the floor until you are ready to dispose of it. Keeping the spilled food in the upper reservoir, off the floor, not only saves you work, but also keeps it clean for reuse.
 
We tried out the cat one and here is how it looked.

Our patented Mess Proof Cat Neater Feeder is the first mess proof cat feeder in the world. The Cat Neater Feeder is the optimal way to keep your floors and walls safe from your cat's food and water damage.

Our specially designed Cat Neater Feeder is perfect for cats and kittens of all sizes and breeds. These cat bowls can be used for wet or dry cat food. Cats and Kittens are playful creatures and often play with their food and water, leaving meal debris on surrounding floors and walls, but our Cat Neater Feeder is designed to trap and separate spilled food and water so there is no mess once mealtime has ended. The Cat Neater Feeder can be placed on the floor or counter so your cat can dine in privacy. The Cat Neater Feeder comes with one 1 cup standard stainless steel food bowl and one 1.5 cup extra capacity stainless steel water bowl.

They went right to the bowl as soon as it was filled and they all ate out it. This is now their favorite bowl to eat out of. It is easy to clean up and makes no mess. This is great and I need one for our dogs now too it works so well.

My Brest Friend Twin Nursing Pillow

When I found out my friend was having twins the first thing I thought was a nursing pillow. I already have a single one and I know it is great quality so I was excited to get the twin pillow and see it in action. Here is how it looked.

Breastfeeding two babies can seem like something that is both wonderful and daunting, yet armed with some helpful tips and tools like the My Brest Friend Twin & Plus Size feeding pillow, you will soon find yourself feeding two babies simultaneously like a pro.

There are many reasons to consider breastfeeding your twins simultaneously including:

• Breastfeeding two babies at a time is usually faster than breastfeeding one baby after the other. Time saving strategies are crucial when feeding two babies the typical 8-12 times a day.

• Research has demonstrated that mothers of twins who breastfeed simultaneously, have a higher prolactin level. Prolactin is the key hormone responsible for signaling milk production.

• It can also be difficult to bottle feed two babies at a time but with the help of the My Brest Friend Twins Plus Feeding pillow, both babies can receive your attention at once.

• Extra comfort and support for twins
• Suggested for plus sizes
• Easy to wash, baby soft, plush zip off cover
• Adjustable back support
• Secure wrap around design

I brought it right to the hospital to try it out and she loved it. It was also great for others to put it on while holding the babies and it will be good for bottle feedings as well.
