Baby Dagny, your destination for just cool baby stuff, introduces Purple Frog Plush Pacifier to the Baby Dagny family. A Soothie pacifier is brilliantly sewn into the stuffed animal body of a purple frog, making it easy for baby to hold and hug. Frog helps keep pacifiers off the ground and in baby's mouth. The Purple Frog Pacifier design is only available at http://www.BabyDagny.com.

Purple Frog is every parent's dream come true, said Andrea McGinty, CEO and founder of Baby Dagny. Thanks to Frog I was able to make it through an entire night without my daughter, Dagny, crying because her pacifier fell out. Even when Frog did fall out, she was able to recognize him in her crib, reach for him and place him right back into her mouth.

Purple Frog is also great for plane rides. Frog comforts babies and helps keep the pressure in their ears equalized. He is a must-have for traveling and it's recommended that parents have multiple frogs, one for the stroller, one for the diaper bag and one for the crib, so they always have one on hand.

Frog is also really durable, said McGinty. Over the years I've accidentally dropped Frog in the pool, rescued him from the mud and even run him over with my car Luckily, he's easy to clean – just toss him in the washing machine. He's just an all-around tough guy

About Baby Dagny

Baby Dagny (http://www.BabyDagny.com), the premier retailer of just cool baby stuff, was founded in 2005 by Andrea McGinty, who was preparing to have a child of her own and had embarked on an endless search for unique baby products. Andrea quickly realized that most retailers carried the same products and that many great products were only being sold in small shops scattered around the world. Having just retired from, It's Just Lunch, a company she founded and helped grow into the largest dating service in the world with over 100 locations, she decided her next venture was to share the vast collection of unique baby products she found with others. Out of her search to find cool baby products Baby Dagny was born with one goal in mind: to bring moms and babies the most unique and useful baby products and gifts out there.

Baby Crib Suffocation Potentials

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is every parent’s nightmare. Some suggestions to guard against SIDS include buying a tight-fitting mattress and using fitted sheets made just for cribs. Recent recommendations instruct parents to put the baby on his back covered with a blanket that reaches only to the chest and is tucked under the mattress on each side. The baby’s feet should be pointing toward the foot of the bed.

Another option is to consider using a sleeper or swaddling in lieu of a blanket. Regardless, don’t add pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins, pillow-like bumper pads or pillow-like stuffed toys to the crib. Any of these can potentially cause suffocation.

As the baby ages, it is still important to use a tight-fitting mattress to avoid entrapment between mattress and crib slats. Crib slats should be no more than 2 3/8 inches apart so that the baby’s head and body cannot fit between two slats. Corner posts cannot exceed 1/16thinch in height to avoid catching the baby’s clothing. Do not buy or modify a crib to have cutouts in the foot- or head-boards. An infant’s head can be trapped in such decorations.

Cribs Must Be Properly Assembled and Maintained

It is paramount that cribs are properly assembled in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Once it is assembled and in the nursery, be sure to watch for any rough edges, broken hardware or loose screws or bolts. This is critical: some of the reported deaths have resulted from something as simple as two loose screws which allowed the drop-side to move out of position and create a suffocation hazard. Likewise, broken slats should be replaced immediately.

Some cribs and playpens are made with mesh sides. Like cribs with slats, these units must be assembled properly and watched carefully for tears in the mesh or the top rail cover. If mesh tears develop, the unit must be replaced. Mesh openings should be less than inch across so that the small buttons on an infant’s clothing will not be caught. The mesh must be securely attached to the top rail and floor plate usually with staples. If so, staples should not be loose or missing.

In summary, cribs must be assembled according to the manufacturer’s directions, and be properly maintained throughout its lifespan. Be especially attentive to loose or damaged parts. Use a tight-fitting mattress with either a sleeper or a blanket up to the baby’s chest and tucked in on both sides of the mattress. Stay away from putting pillows, comforters and stuffed toys inside the crib or playpen. Taking these few guidelines into account will continue to make a crib an infant’s safe haven. As always, check with your child’s doctor for any recommendations.

Book a vacation. Buy a car. Research the origin of the word barbecue. Finally learn the lyrics to REMs Its the End of the World as We Know It. Almost anything imaginable is available on the Internet, including the one thing parents want most for their new baby — sleep.

Sounds in Silence, creators of the BabySleep System CD (http://www.babysleepsystem.com), today announced that it is offering for download two versions of its breakthrough sleep solution a free, five-minute MP3 sample track and the full 60-minute product bringing immediate relief to sleep-deprived parents and infants anywhere, at any time.

The outgrowth of research on newborn sleep disorders, the BabySleep System enables parents to help their infants fall asleep fast, stay asleep longer and eliminate problems that result from daily sleep interruptions and episodes of crying through the night. A new free, abbreviated five-minute product sample is available for download in the MP3 format at http://www.babysleepsystem.com; the full 60-minute product is likewise now available for instant download in MP3 for $24.95.

The BabySleep System incorporates a new technology that uses actual sound recordings from the womb, processed to closely emulate what babies experience while in utero. This sleep aid is then layered with a unique ambient audio soundtrack composed and produced by a team of music industry experts, to promote overall relaxation to both the baby and the parent or caregiver.

If parents discover our solution while surfing for answers to their babys colic at 2 a.m., they dont want to have to wait for the CD to arrive in the mail, said Jay Oliver, president and co-founder, Sounds in Silence. Parents need immediate help and now they have it.

Within minutes parents can download the BabySleep system onto their own PC and help their babies fall asleep right there on the spot. Who would have thought that while desperately prancing around the house with a crying baby, the answer may be sitting right there at the computer? Then mom and dad can get some sleep, too.

Todays parents go online for rocking chairs, cribs, lullabies, stuffed animals and advice looking for anything that might lull their babies to sleep. The Internet has become the one resource through which people expect to find just about anything they need. It just makes sense for us to offer a download. So far, its been an extremely popular option especially for our international customers.

Breakthrough Sleep Technology

In developing the BabySleep System, the Sounds in Silence team spent several years researching baby sleep disorders, perfecting a critical component called The Womb Effect. This solution to baby sleeplessness re-creates the sound environment of the womb in order to provide a sense of safety and comfort to a newborn who may be fussy, crying or colicky.

The BabySleep System download features a delicately balanced mixture of a mothers resting heartbeat, intrauterine womb sounds (blood and fluid movement), mothers singing voice, mothers breathing, and a carefully constructed low frequency music soundtrack. The entire mix of these sounds is then digitally processed using the proprietary BabySleep System algorithm to simulate how it all sounds underwater.

It is no secret that music has the power to awaken minds, soothe the soul, refresh the spirit and generate strong emotional reactions. When extrapolated to the newborn, creating a low-frequency environment with the same vibrational characteristics as the womb proves to be calming and enjoyable for a baby.

Music in general seems to have a positive effect on promoting relaxation in infants. A study examining the effect of playing music to 20 normal-term infants showed that soothing music may be a feasible intervention to help newborns demonstrate fewer high arousal states. It was found that when the babies were exposed to soothing music their levels of excitability decreased and they appeared notably calmer than without the music playing.

ABOUT SOUNDS IN SILENCE

Founded in 2001 by professional musicians and world-class audio engineers, Sounds in Silence, Inc. (http://www.babysleepsystem.com) has assembled a team of pediatricians, researchers and specialists focused on providing comfort, relaxation and healthier sleep patterns for newborns and infants. The BabySleep System CD, Sounds in Silences flagship product, is built around a breakthrough technology called The Womb Effect — an audio simulation of the womb sound environment, combined with a proprietary music track. The company is based in Carlsbad, Calif.

1. Halo Cotton Sleepsack Light Pink

Price: $19.99

Average Customer Review: 5 stars

Product Description: HALO SleepSack Wearable Blanket The HALO SleepSack Wearable Blanket is the only blanket on the market this customized to fit a range of sizes to ensure safety for all infants. Its design is making consumers and vendors alike rethink the idea of a baby blanket. The SleepSack is the safest, yet softest blanket on the market. It is made of 100% flame resistant cotton. The SleepSack from HALO is sleeveless to reduce the risk of baby rebreathing into the sleeve. It reduces the risk of overheating and is easy to slip on to a sleeping child. The Sack design means that baby will never kick a blanket off or, even worse, up over his mouth and nose causing the airflow to be disrupted. An inverted zipper allows the parent to change the diaper with ease and also prevents the child from scratching his chin or even unzipping this. HALO works hard to prevent SIDS and with it they have made tremendous strides. With each SleepSack sale HALO donates a portion of the sale toward SIDS medical research, education and family services.

Manufacturer Recommended Age: infant

A Product Review from a Consumer: Much better than a blanket. I was using a blanket for my newborn and would wake up all night to make sure she hadn’t kicked off the covers (or kicked it over her face). Since purchasing this, I don’t worry about that at all. She stays warm all night. One recommendation.buy the cotton SleepSack. I had the fleece SleepSack first and it seemed to keep the baby too warm. The cotton is a tight-knit weave and feels warm enough.even for our cold Illinois winter nights.

2. Lamaze First Mirror

Price: $23.95

Average Customer Review: 4 1/2 stars

Product Description: Young babies are fascinated by the human face, including their own. Is it another baby? Is it real? Hey, where did that baby go? This fun and portable mirror is a perfect choice for curious babies. It’s covered in a soft, colorful frame, unbreakable, and mounts on a foam wedge for tummy time. It also easily attaches to a crib or car headrest. It hangs like a flap (attached with Velcro straps), and can be easily lifted by you or by your baby for a game of peek-a-boo.

Manufacturer Recommended Age: birth and up

A Consumer Product Review: I bought this mirror because the reflection was the best of the ones we looked at. It is very simple in that it doesn’t have any attached toys, but I really just wanted a mirror and I hated the fun house affect of the others. My baby boy loves to look at himself, and the mirror can be hung on the crib or set on the floor. The wedge is foam and it doesn’t tip over too easily like the easel style mirrors do.

3. Tomy Star Bright Light Show – Musical Baby Night Light

Price: $23.99

Average Customer Review: 5 stars

Product Description: With the new LED technology in the Star Bright Night Light Show by Tomy Toys, there is no need to ever change a light bulb again. While the battery life is extended, the parents convenience is enhanced. Button controls for on/off and melody selections. Your Star Bright Night Light automatically shuts off in 10 minutes. Operates on 4 AA batteries. Crib attachment included.

Manufacturer Recommended Age: Birth – 3 years

A Product Review from a Consumer: I have a three month old and he LOVES this toy. We turn it on at night and it really helps calm him before going to bed. I set it at 10 minutes and it’s just the perfect amount of time. He watches the light show and is fascinated and the music is soothing. It’s got three different melodies and I always try to change it up for him. It’s so portable and attaches easily to the side of his crib. I would greatly recommend it to any parent who doesn’t want to hear their baby cry themselves to sleep.
