Mompreneur gives away product – Padalily

As sales have been growing for Padalily, expansion overseas was necessary in order to produce larger quantities.  Unfortunately, some of the product styles didn’t come out to Lily’s standards.  To the rest of us, we won’t probably notice a thing, but Lily isn’t thrilled with some  and paid for the manufacturing and shipping to bring it to the US.  Here is what she said…

“I didn’t want to sell a few of these to our stores because I know they expect perfection, but I had to find something creative to do with the ones that weren’t exactly perfect.  How could I make lemonade out of the lemons?  Then it struck me!  I could give them away to my fans!”

I personally know Lily and I know her standards are extremely high – she is taking a loss on this and only charging to cover her fulfillment fee and shipping to you. Please share this offer and wonderful product with your friends and any mom you see walking down the street carrying the car seat on their arm. And give her a shout-out on Facebookand show your support.

Did she just say GIVEAWAY?  Yep!  A some styles are available for free (minus a small $5.95 shipping and handling fee – you’ll see the ones listed at $0 on the Padalily website). All you need to do is go to thePadalily website on Wednesday and order – easy peasy! (www.padalily.com)

“Everyone loves getting something for free, and hopefully they would spread the word about how comfortable and cute the Padalily is.  Our best advertisers have always been our moms.  Word of mouth advertising and grass roots growth has been my story of success, ” Lily told me.

Please share this with your friends and help spread the word! Free is alway a great way to try the Padalily and I know you’ll be back purchasing the “perfect” arm handle pads for baby showers in gifts in the future!

How to Choose Baby Swimwear and Infant Swimsuits

How to Choose Newborn, Infant, and Baby Swimwear, Swimsuits, and Bathing Suits

One of the most important and potentially overwhelming decisions facing a new parent is choosing the proper swimwear for their new baby. Infant swimsuits come in an almost infinite number of colors, styles, materials, designs, etc. So what factors should you consider when deciding on a baby bathing suit and ultimately what is the best swimsuit for a newborn?

Without a doubt, the single most important factor when choosing a baby swimsuit is sun protection. Infants have incredibly sensitive skin and pediatricians recommend babies not use sunscreen until they are six months old. Dermatologists know that UV exposure leads directly to skin cancer, and just a single sunburn as a baby, toddler, or child can lead to skin cancer later in life. Be sure to choose a swimsuit with UPF 50+ protection like SwimZip swimwear. Also, make sure to add a wide brim sun hat and robe to keep baby extra protected when at the pool or beach – times of intense UV sun exposure.

The second most important point when choosing an infant swimsuit is comfort. You want your baby to love the water, and if the swimsuit is difficult to put on or rubbing and chafing, your baby is going to be miserable. SwimZip swimwear has added a full zipper down the front of its rash guard swim shirt. The SwimZip signature zipper makes the swimsuit so easy to get on and off … babies and parents totally love it! SwimZip also has a flat seams to limit rubbing and chafing and silky soft material that infants just love wearing on their sensitive skin.

The third most important factor for baby swimwear is style – both the swimsuit cut and design. Going back to point one, babies need as much coverage from the sun as they can get. Be absolutely sure to get a swimsuit top that is a rashguard swimshirt – preferably longsleeved like SwimZip’s popular All Aboard baby girl swimsuit style or Hard Working Man baby boy swimsuit style.

After making sure to get a full coverage suit, next think about design. Your baby’s first trips to the beach and pool will be memories you keep for a lifetime. So many of our summer pictures are taken in swimsuits with the pool or beach in the background. Make sure your baby is looking her/his best for these unforgettable splashing memories. Celebrities like Jessica Alba and Tori Spelling choose SwimZip swimsuits for their unique, timeless designs.

Be sure to choose a swimsuit for your newborn (0-3 month, 3-6 month, 6-12 month, 1T etc.) that fits a swim diaper. So many bathing suits do not leave enough room in the bottoms to fit a diaper. SwimZip baby swimsuits are carefully designed to fit swim diapers. Also, some baby swimsuits offer a diaper built into the swimsuit, but think long and hard about whether you really want to be searching around for somewhere to dump that out at the beach or be cleaning out all the sticky mess in the pool sink… Been there and done that – lesson learned!

Finally, be mindful of the price of the swimsuit. Get something to cheap, and chances are you will be buying another one later that month. Also, cheap swimsuits are usually not chlorine resistant and have rougher material, tending to rub and chafe a baby, leading to rashes. Swimsuits priced between $25-$35 will usually have high quality materials and last the summer.

After considering UV protection, style, and price, the best choice for baby, infant, or newborn swimwear is without a doubt SwimZip baby swimwear. SwimZip offers UPF 50+ UV sun protection blocking 99% of cancer causing UVA and UVB rays. SwimZip’s signature full zipper rash guard swim shirts are a parents dream come true!
