News and Updates

Sorry it has been over a month since we last blogged! We have been extremely busy trying to get everything on Supermommy's Superstore, as well as add new products. We have successfully merged our sites and you will find (almost) everything previously available at Belly Rubs 2 Baby Hugs on Supermommy's Superstore. There are still a few items not there and if you cannot find an item that was previously on Belly Rubs 2 Baby Hugs but has not yet been added, please contact us and we will be happy to add it for you.


New arrivals:
There are a lot of new things on Supermommy's Superstore!

First is the arrival of Adiri's 3 Stage Multi Pack. This pack includes 1 of each stage bottle and is priced at $34.50.

Baby Kaed bags are now available, including the new Dhara, Sheri, and Shanti Bags. We also have the Dali Daddy Bag, which has become very popular choice for those men who go from Dad to Executive because it accommodates your laptop, too.

Next up is L'ovedbaby Cotton Basics Clothing. We have stocked spring and summer styles in a variety of colors. We also have the new L'ovedbaby receiving blanket to complete your layette.

Also a hot seller is the Bumpil On The Way Combination Pillow. This multi-functional pillow serves as a maternity support pillow, feeding support pillow, incline baby positioner, tummy time, and can be opened to form an infant play area. Priced at just $68 with free shipping, you will get plenty of use for your money!


Coming soon:
bumGenius diapers are on the way and we are currently accepting pre-orders. We also have an excellent starter pack available for first time parents or to send as a awesome baby gift.

Western Chief Kids will also be arriving later this month. We will have a full line of products include boots, umbrellas, and raincoats. Toddlers and preschoolers love to wear this character gear...and look too cute, too!


Just a note: If you have previously shopped with us before, you will notice a change in our shopping cart at checkout. We have recently made a few changes to make your shipping rates more accurate based on your location and allowed us to offer several shipping options to best suit your needs. All rates shown are actual shipping rates plus our small handling fee. We have always worked to keep our shipping rates in check and we feel this new shopping cart will be very beneficial in allowing you to choose your preferred method of delivery based on estimated delivery time and cost.


As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us. Have a great weekend!

New Parent Tip-of-the-Week: Helping Newborns Sleep Better

Does baby sleep like an angel while in your arms or lying your chest but not in bed? We have three tips to help baby sleep like an angel in bed, too.

• First, baby is lulled by the sound of your heart because this is a comforting sound. This sound lulled baby to sleep for 9 months and baby came to rely on it. Today's technology has made it very easy for you to offer baby this same comfort outside of the womb with modern soothers like Cloud b's Sleep Sheep. The sounds produced by Sleep Sheep replicate those of mommy's heartbeat and offer baby the same comfort as mommy's tummy.
• Secondly, baby's sense of smell is very keen, even early in life. The smell of mommy and daddy are also comforting to baby because these are the first smells baby experienced and they quickly become very familiar to baby. Baby knows these smells offer security and comfort. To help baby know you are still close by, place a shirt mommy or daddy has worn near baby but out of reach (over the railing of the bed or at least a foot away from baby's body). Baby can still smell mommy or daddy and know comfort is close by, making baby more relaxed and apt to sleep. If placing a shirt near baby is not an option, sleep on baby's sheet one night and then place the sheet on baby's bed. This has the same effect as the shirt and is a good option for fidgety babies or babies which can roll. If you sleep on baby's sheet, be careful not to get lotions, colognes, perfumes, night creams, or other irritating substances on baby's sheet.
  
• Lastly, lay a heating pad in baby's bed while you are preparing baby for bed (i.e. feeding or bathing). Turn the heating pad on the lowest setting. This will gently warm the spot in which you will place baby. A cold bed/sheet can be startling to baby, especially after being in warm arms. Never lay baby on the heating pad or overheat baby's bed! Always completely remove the heating pad and cord from the crib before placing baby in the bed. Make sure the heating pad is turned off immediately after using. If you are worried about leaving the heating pad on, you may want to plug it into a wall timer so it will automatically shut off or purchase a newer model which offers automatic shut off.

We hope these tips help baby and parents receive some much needed shut eye. Goodnight!

Parent-to-be Tip of the Week: Prepare your electronic birth announcement in advance

If you are like many families, you have family and friends in other states and possibly even other countries. If you communicate via email, you will want to announce the birth of your new arrival this way as well. It is an instant way to share pictures and information about your new bundle of joy.

Get ready to tell everyone by creating your draft email a few weeks prior to your due date. This allows you to customize your announcement and have everything ready except adding your delivery information and pictures. Go back to your draft a couple of times after creating it to make sure you have included all of the information you wish to share and to make sure every recipient is listed. After baby arrives, just type in the final details and out it goes without the worries of forgetting to email it to someone important or omitting information you wanted to include but forgot.

Happy Spring!
