Forget Prenatal Vitamins, Drink THIS Up

bundleorganics_trio

Okay, we all know how important prenatal vitamins are for women who are expecting…heck, even women who aren’t pregnant sometimes take prenatals to “get ready” for the event! Well, I’m not saying ditch the vitamins, but I was pretty excited to learn there are now options to get the appropriate nutrients in your system, you know get the “juices” flowing!! 😉 I came across the product at The Biggest Baby Shower in Miami and I even sipped a sample. I mean, you don’t have to be pregnant to enjoy it, it’s an organic juice packed full of the best organic fruits and veggies for pregnancy, along with an extra boost of essential vitamins for mom and baby, including folic acid, vitamin D, calcium, iron, and omega-3.

It’s called Bundle Organics. The company has unveiled their first line of organic juices, that are fully pasteurized and specially designed to address the unique nutritional needs of expecting moms. I love that busy moms-to-be now have a convenient, delicious way to get added nutrients and quench their thirst on-the-go, while supporting healthy prenatal development. Not to mention, some women have issues with the different types of vitamins, tablets and chewables, etc… so options are important!

The juices are formulated with USDA organic, GMO-free fruits and veggies, such as apples, kale, berries, lemon and ginger, that are particularly beneficial for expecting moms. The juices are preservative-free and have no added sugar. They’re also fortified with OBGYN-recommended nutrients at levels that compliment—rather than replace—daily prenatal vitamins. The nutrients in the juice benefit women from pre-conception through pregnancy and post-natal, including breastfeeding.

logoExperts say the drinks can possibly help with pregnancy symptoms like morning sickness, because these beverages have ingredients like lemon and ginger which can offer relief for nausea…and as an alternative to water, can keep Moms hydrated, since you need to “drink up,” while pregnant! Plus, taking this in addition to prenatal vitamins can help women with an extra boost in the large amounts of extra minerals and vitamins required to grow a healthy baby.

All of Bundle Organics’ juices are available in a convenient, grab-and-go 16 oz. bottles that are also BPA-free – so you can sip without the worry. And because they’re pasteurized, they’re not only safe to drink during pregnancy, but easy to ship and transport without refrigeration (though the juices are recommend to be enjoyed chilled). Bundle Organics’ juices are all fortified with an extra bump of folic acid, calcium, vitamin D, omega-3 and iron:

  • Dark Berry and Veggie Organic Prenatal Juice: packed with superfruits and veggies rich in vitamin C and antioxidants to give moms’ changing body extra energy and to fight illness. The spinach and kale also provide another great source of folic acid and beta carotene for baby’s healthy development.
  • Kale, Apple, Lemon and Ginger Organic Prenatal Juice: full of folic acid, calcium, and iron to help with cell growth and development. The lemon and ginger is the perfect combination to combat fatigue and reduce nausea.
  • Orange, Carrot, Berry and Ginger Organic Prenatal Juice: made with the tastiest fruits and veggies full of vitamin C and beta carotene to increase immunity, and build baby’s circulatory, respiratory, nervous system and bones.

Philips AVENT…Bottles with Style!

10964-SCF683_USES_002380_OL.indd

For a first time parent, when it comes time to think about the “feeding” options for an arriving newborn, and how to properly accomplish the task with success, having all the right bottles, pumps, nipples, warmers, sterilizers, etc… It can be very overwhelming. Sure, you see lots of ads and brand names may sound familiar, but you really don’t know what is going to work and/or be right for the baby until you can actually try the various methods and products for feeding! In my case, I did a little research and thought about what bottles I had seen a lot of my friends and people in general using – you start to pay a lot more attention to all this stuff when you’re pregnant, and the brand that stuck out to me, was the Philips AVENT line of bottles. My original intent had been to breastfeed and pump (didn’t work out that way, save that for another post), and as I was filling up my registry and doing my research, I opted to go with Philips AVENT products. Luckily, my child accepted those bottles and nipples, so I didn’t have to go through a round robin of brands and products to see what would work…so yes, I would definitely recommend the line!

And — now, the #1 brand recommended by moms worldwide is adding some fun to feeding-time, by offering their Philips AVENT Natural Bottle in new designs! The special edition Philips AVENT Natural Bottle “Elephant Designs” are available exclusively at Walmart. I love the simple, yet cute designs with what I assume are a Mommy and Baby elephant pair. You may think you don’t need “bottle style,” and in all practicality, it doesn’t affect function. However, when you’re washing and looking at what seems like an endless line of bottles, a cute design can certainly add “fun” to the mix! It’s also nice for your little one to gaze at friendly faces while they feed, which is very often. Plus, if you’re out and about, it’ll be easier to spot these bottles in a crowd! 😉 The “Elephant Designs” come in a blue/green combo or pink/purple.
