Becoming a parent can be daunting to say the least. You’re learning everything for the first time – What does that cry mean? How can I get her to sleep? How do I give her a bath? But perhaps the most daunting part is knowing what are the right products for you and your baby. Don’t worry! There’s help!

We are very excited to join Magic Beans, Big City Moms and dozens of other great brands for the first ever Drool Baby Expo on May 31, 2011 at the Seaport Hotel in Boston. Drool will provide new and expectant parents with a fun, upscale environment for exploring all the products and services they need for their growing family. In addition to crave-worthy baby products, Drool will feature educational workshops, incredible raffle prizes, delicious food & drinks, complimentary spa treatments and an overflowing gift bag.

Rhoost will be there – will you?

Safety Month Week 2: Resources You Might Not Know About

As we head out to Cologne Germany for the Kind and Jugend show, we thought we’d share some really cool home and baby safety resources you may not know about…

Safekids.org: This site is great overall, but we really like that they have a monthly product recall email you can sign up for. Not only does it save you time, but you also don’t have to worry about missing anything.

Teach your kids about safety with these cool videos thanks to the home safety council. We especially love these because they are available in English and Spanish!

If you’re just starting out childproofing can seem like a daunting task. Our advice is to start with the basics to ensure the key areas are taken care of – this great video from Classy Mom on the basics should help get you started!

Once you have the basics done, this very cool interactive tool from my safe home is a great way to make sure you have everything else covered.

If you’re still feeling a bit unsure, consider hiring a professional child-proofer. The International Association for Child Safety has a tool to help you find one in your area.

Safety Month Week 1 : A Good Night’s Sleep

Rhoost — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:18:21 +0000

As parents and caregivers, we spend a lot of time ensuring our kids safety during the waking hours – when curious hands, active bodies, and exploring minds are busy discovering the world. We breathe a sigh of relief when the PJs are on and the lights are off. But did you know that each year hundreds of deaths occur when children are placed in a sleep environment not designed for them?

That’s why this year JPMA, the sponsor of Baby Safety Month, is focusing on educating parents and caregivers on creating a safe sleeping environment. In fact they are so serious about it that they’ve created a website called Make Every Night a Safe Night. Another great source is the International Association for Child Safety.

On these websites you can find out everything you’ll need to know to ensure your little one gets a good night’s sleep!

Have you heard? Huggies is providing a total of $250K to help mom inventors makes their ideas a reality!

Given the competition for capital, especially in the current economy, start-up cash is often the thing that prevents new inventors from bringing their ideas to fruition.

Well, thanks to Huggies, mom inventors have a chance to win $15,000 towards the development of their ideas! We think this makes a lot of sense since moms are quite literally the “mothers of invention” and have brought many innovative products to market.

Here are some great companies started by mom inventors:

Boon

Green Toys

Annabel Karmel

Thanks to Maria Bailey of BSM media for connecting Rhoost with Huggies as Inspired Moms Like You.

It has been a great opportunity for Rhoost. Just last week, we were on Chatter Box Radio and Sisters of Sizzle.

So if you’re a mom with an idea – you have still have 10 days to enter for your chance at $15,000 from the Huggies Mom Inspired program! What are you waiting for?!
