Mom-Tested: The One Product That Helped My Daughter’s Infant Eczema

Mom Jeanine — Tue, 01 Oct 2013 19:30:07 +0000

My daughter was born at the end of July in New York City and when I tell you it was hot, it was H.O.T. Fast forward four months, and her skin totally dried out once the weather cooled. It turned out she had infant eczema and those dry itchy patches tormented her (and me!) for weeks. I tried lots of products to soothe her skin, but the one that finally gave her some relief was the AVEENO® Baby Eczema Therapy collection. I threw out all the baby washes and lotions we’d been given and just started using AVEENO® and within days I could see a difference. There were fewer dry patches and far less irritation. Five years later, my daughter doesn’t suffer from eczema anymore, but I still use AVEENO® Baby Eczema Therapy products. They’re gentle, soothing and the #1 brand I always recommend to new moms.

But enough about me! October is National Eczema Awareness Month and because I’m sure many moms have little ones who suffer with it, we asked Dr. Kenneth R. Beer, MD PA, a board certified physician in both dermatology and dermatopathology, to share his best eczema advice. Here’s what he recommends:

“Treating eczema for babies, children and adults is really a combination of preventive and therapeutic efforts.”
DO use hydrating cleansers and barrier creams with soothing ingredients, like colloidal oatmeal, daily to maintain the integrity of the skin’s barrier – for example AVEENO® Eczema Therapy products for adults and AVEENO® Baby Eczema Therapy products for babies.
DO look for products with ceramides—an essential lipid naturally found within the skin that plays a key role in enhancing and restoring the skin’s protective function.
DO use fragrance free laundry detergent to wash clothing, sheets and towels and avoid dryer sheets.
DON’T use body lotions with irritants which can aggravate skin and cause eczema to flare.
DON’T use products with fragrances or harsh dyes.

Check Out What Went Down At STRUT, The Fashionable Mom Show, This Weekend In N.Y.C.

Mom Jeanine — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 22:00:24 +0000

Over the weekend, Vaseline partnered with Denise and Melissa of The Moms, for an amazingly fun event here in N.Y.C. They corralled some of the most fashionable moms, kids and moms-to-be to strut their stuff at a fashion show during New York City Fashion Week all to benefit causes like Feeding America and March of Dimes. We had the opportunity to stop by and get a behind-the-scenes look at how it all went down. There were loads of stylish moms and their cute kids getting ready backstage and using Vaseline’s Spray & Go Moisturizer, a convenient spray lotion that moisturizes deeply and absorbs quickly, so they could moisturize and get dressed fast to strut their looks down the runway.

Our personal highlight? The adorable little kid DJing the whole thing! Of course, we’re also suckers for a photobooth so we took the opportunity to test out Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer in front of the camera. It was a blast! Check out some highlights from the event in the slideshow below.

When you’re expecting, the one thing you’ll hear over and over again is how expensive babies are. So many moms-to-be are shocked to learn that they spend so much before their little one even arrives. But between a stroller, car seat and nursery furniture it all adds up. h

Here’s a little tip from us: more expensive doesn’t always mean better, especially when it comes shopping for your baby. Case in point: the new Fisher-Price baby cribs. They have four designs that are all incredibly beautiful and safe, but also reasonably priced. We’re talking $160 or less! Click through the slideshow below to see these inexpensive baby cribs for yourself.

Look what I found over on gap.com–the first images of the new DVF ♥ Gap Kids collection! As we announced back in January, DVF teamed up with Gap Kids for another collaboration collection launching this spring. Unless you were living under a rock last year, you remember how wildly successful the first DVF children’s collection was. And by the looks of these photos of the second collection, this one’s gonna be even better!

The new DVF ♥ Gap Kids collection arrives in stores around the country and online on April 25, so mark the date. There are styles for baby, toddler and big girls including dresses, rompers, tees and more. Of the upcoming collection, DVF had this to say:

“It was a lot of fun to design a children’s collection and I am glad to repeat it this year. This time it is all about adventure, with the same attention to color and print. I think the result is playful and perfect for the little explorers of the world!”

Keep An Ear–And An Eye!–On Your New Baby With The Awesome Samsung WiFi Video Baby Monitor

Mom Jeanine — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 14:00:41 +0000

The first few weeks–or months!–at home with a new baby are stressful enough. Between the crazy sleep schedule and feeding schedule, the last thing you need to worry about is whether or not your baby is okay when alone in the nursery. That’s why a high quality baby monitor is so essential.

Now we’ve tested loads of baby monitors and while there are some good ones, there are also some duds. We’re talking static and lost connections within the same house. Fortunately, when we put the new Samsung WiFi Video Baby Monitor to the test, we were super impressed.

First, there’s the sleek design. For space-starved parents like us in NYC, we totally appreciate the compact design. Despite its size, though, this baby monitor is loaded with amazing features. Not only can you watch and listen to your baby’s every move, but you can also record them and then share the videos with family and friends. The picture is shockingly clear and there’s even a motion sensor that activates when your baby moves. Trust us, watching this thing will become your new fave hobby.

Because this monitor has so many features, however, it is a little difficult to set up and start using. It took us a few reads of the manual to test everything adequately, but once we figured it out it was so worth it.
