Combination swaddler & sleep sack gets rave reviews from parents, retailers and the media in the United States and abroad!

For most new mothers, sleep deprivation is an absolute nightmare. But for Heather Allard, a 3rd time expectant mother of daughters, Hope & Grace and designer of Swaddleaze, it’s been the stuff of sweet dreams.

“After having Hope & Grace, and living through the sleepless nights that come with having a newborn, I began a love affair with my bed--it became my favorite place to be. Every morning, my first waking thought was ‘I can’t wait to crawl into bed tonight’. But it wasn’t long before I learned that the amount of sleep I get is directly proportionate to how well my kids are sleeping. After the newborn-induced sleep deprivation come teething, colds, growing pains, etc. I knew that getting them to sleep faster, longer and sounder was the key to my getting some sleep. Sleeping babies mean sleeping parents and this revelation prompted me to start my company, 2 Virtues, Inc.”, Allard explains.

2 Virtues, Inc. is establishing itself as an innovative sleepwear company with products like the inventive Swaddleaze ™, a patented, versatile combination baby swaddler & sleep sack. Swaddleaze swaddles babies quickly, easily and effectively. It reduces newborn startling, soothes colic, and creates the womb-like comfort that lulls babies to sleep. The wearable Swaddleaze offers warmth without worry, reducing the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). And best of all, Swaddleaze helps both baby AND parents sleep longer & better.

Swaddleaze has earned 2 Virtues, Inc. some early success. Since its 2004 debut, Allard, her company & her Swaddleaze have been featured on NBC Health Check, The WB Health News and Urban Baby.com, the website for hipster parents from coast to coast. Swaddleaze is sold at over 50 US retailers and in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South America and the United Kingdom. Swaddleaze has won 2 awards from iParenting Media and has been chosen as a “must have” baby product by Pregnancy Magazine, New Parent Magazine and the Family Review Center.

Allard says, “The press, the awards, the sales—they’re fabulous. But the best part for me is when a new mom tells me Swaddleaze helped her baby sleep through the night—because I lived that agony with my daughter Grace, the inspiration behind Swaddleaze—so hearing that makes all my wakeful nights worth it.”

And it looks like 2 Virtues, Inc. won’t be resting anytime soon. With her own new baby on the way and new infant and toddler sleepwear products in the works, Allard is one busy mompreneur! She is also one of the 56 mom inventors profiled in the forthcoming “Cool Mom Inventions: Secrets of 56 Successful Mommy Inventors” by mom, author and family lifestyle expert, Victoria Pericon.

Out in December, Babe Ease, will be releasing a matching Clean Changer, an oversized diaper changing pad in matching fabrics.

Also this month, Babe Ease, LLC, is donating a portion of October's profits to the ESSCO-MGH Breast Cancer Research Fund, established in 1994 after Missy Cohen-Fyffe's sister was diagnosed. To date, the fund has raised more than $2.1 million -- 100% of which goes directly to research at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

Unlike conventional pads that expose delicate skin to cold, synthetic surfaces, the Clean Changer is made from 100% cotton with a soft quilted lining. What’s more, the Clean Changer’s water resistant bottom layer and oversized design provided added protection between baby and changing table allowing comfortable diaper-duty on the go.

With the new line of Disposable Clean Shoppers, parents can shop with their minds at ease. That’s because the disposable Clean Shoppers offer the same award-winning protection of the original Clean Shopper, but in a lightweight, disposable package.

Made of water resistant polypropylene, the disposable Clean Shopper covers the entire seating area of a shopping cart, so baby’s sensitive skin is not exposed to bacteria-ridden surfaces. A complimentary disposable safety strap is also included in the package to help babies sit more securely. With a suggested retail price of $9.99 per 3-pack, the disposable Clean Shopper is truly the most affordable way to keeps germ away.

Bummis is a Canadian company started by mothers using cloth diapers on their own babies. Sixteen years later they are still a company owned by mothers! They have grown and changed a lot (as have their babies), but their focus is the same. They believe in making good quality, easy to use and affordable diaper covers that make it easy to use cloth diapers. They encourage parents to use cloth diapers because of the many benefits to be had in terms of health, cost, and the environment. To make this an even easier task, they have added a new diaper cover to their quality line of products, the Polar Bummi. This cover, released in June, combines hi-tech performance with super softness and comfort. Two layers of breathable micro-fleece with a highly breathable laminate sandwiched inside - this diaper cover is the ultimate in comfortable diapering wear.

Their high quality micro fleece is manufactured in Canada to their own specifications. It is a truly amazing new age textile. It is a thin densely knitted but lightweight, anti-pill fleece that will wick moisture away from baby's skin while the interior highly breathable yet waterproof laminate prevents any moisture from leaking onto clothing. This product is easy care - can be washed and dried with diapers. Polar Bummis are hardworking and durable cover.

Initial evaluations by testers were overwhelmingly positive. Here is how some described the product: "Excellent! The best fit of any cover we have ever used. So soft with leg gussets that fit great!" and "We loved the trimness and the great fit. Other fleece covers we've tried are so much bulkier... great cover!"

As with all their products _ the Polar Bummis is made by some truly wonderful sewers in the pleasant atmosphere of their factory in Montreal. Bummis feels a deep and abiding responsibility to their employees and to the community. Unlike the current trend, they have made a commitment to never manufacture in a so-called "developing" country, although their costs would be lower. Instead, like the popular American Apparel chain in the USA, they pay their sewers well for a job well done. Their outside contractors are paid a living wage, and treated with the respect they deserve. Not only is this what they believe as managers and business owners, but they believe it makes sense in the long run because their employees and contractors are the strong base of their success.

You can find the revolutionary Polar Bummi cloth diaper cover along with their full line of products at www.bummis.com.

The Daddy's Matter sling diaper bag was designed by a dad for today's active daddies. It is convenient, sturdy and functional. With the attached Diaper Bag Check List, daddy is assured he wonít forget anything he will need, whether itís a jaunt to the park or all day with the grandparents. The Daddyís Matter daddy is organized and stylish.

"For a guy, there is no better bag. It has room for everything I need for twins."

"I take my two boys to the park on Saturdays and the bag has a spot for everything I need to bring. I especially like the check list so I donít forget anything. It ís comfortable to wear and unlike my wifeís bag, itís not pink."

"It ís a great bag. It doesnít look like a diaper bag, but it has everything I need...even a diaper changing pad!"

Moms like our sling bag too! So, weíve added some colors that moms love. Also available in pink and blue. The Mothers Minder Sling bag.

The Mothers Minder breastfeeding bracelet is the only patented bracelet that helps moms remember when they last fed their baby as well as which breast to offer their baby for the next feeding.

"I need to reorder again. They're selling like hot cakes! You have a great product!"

"I love it! It saved me many sleepless nights. (I didn't have to wonder when I needed to feed Zoe.) It gave me peace of mind, no worry about when I fed the baby last. My doctor loved it and thought it was 'ingenious'. She is telling everyone about it."

"I used my Mother's Minder bracelet for the first two or three months after having my daughter until I got the hang of everything. It was so helpful in keeping things straight--things that you wouldn't think you would need help with at first--but you do!! I loved it!"

"Mothers Minder really helped me feel confident as a new mother. When I was still in the hospital after my son was born, the nurse would come into my room and ask me when I last fed my baby. I referred to my Mothers Minder bracelet and told her. She said no other mother on the floor could remember."

DadGear Diaper Vest:
DadGear LLC introduces the DadGear Diaper Vest™. This wearable diaper bag is the hottest innovation in parenting gear since the diaper bag itself. Our revolutionary twist on the traditional diaper bag sets the standard for our "hands free" line. Combining comfort and style, you can change, feed, and entertain your child with ease and no one will be able to tell you are wearing your diaper bag. We have strategically placed pockets for all of the baby-care essentials that a diaper bag would hold. The Vest is constructed with high quality materials for ultimate durability and longevity. It is better looking than most fleece vests available in sporting goods stores but with specific functionality for carrying all of your essential dad gear!

Features include: quick-access wipes pocket (upper right) with access from the outside or the inside of the vest, two form fitting bottle pockets (one on either side), two spacious internal pockets for diapers or larger items (interior bottom front) and two external pockets for anything from keys to your hands in cool weather (lower front). In addition, we have a dual entry large pocket on the back of the vest that contains a slim design changing pad (included) specifically manufactured to be virtually invisible when stored in the pocket. The DadGear Diaper Vest™ is available in several colors.

DadGear Messenger Bag:
This rugged bag sets the new standard for Dad diaper bags by not looking like one. It is designed after the classic style messenger bag and incorporates our "hands free" approach which allows you to change, feed, and entertain your child without ever having to set the bag down. Like all of our messenger bags, this bag has a removable front panel which allows for easy cleaning and interchangeability of additional panels (sold separately). The front panel included with this bag has a custom hibiscus flower print popular with most Hawaiian gear and a large zippered pocket for easy storage of personal items.

Features include: Our quick-access wipes window under the front panel that accommodates most brands of wipes, two large pockets on the interior for diapers and food, two bottle pockets accessible from either the exterior or interior, our slim design changing pad (included) in a separate pocket to eliminate cross contamination, and two tall, skinny pockets for creams or lotions on either side of the wipes window. Oversized side release buckles, high quality coil zippers, heavy-duty fabrics, and durable hardware ensure our quality standards are met. This bag includes a large adjustable 2" strap with oversize cam buckle and an optional three point harness for a secure fit modeled after the classic bike messenger bag. This bag is available in several colors.

DadGear Backpack:
Designed in the spirit of hiking packs from our native Colorado, this rugged backpack maintains our standard of excellence for our Dad diaper bags and no one will be able to tell that it is one. We hired one of the nation's premier expedition backpack designers in Boulder, Colorado to assist us in creating an unmatched backpack. By working together, we were able to combine the ultimate in looks and functionality and incorporate features similar to our Messenger Bag and Diaper Vest™. The front panel and top pocket on this bag have a splash of color and the front panel has a retro stripe constructed of reflective tape flanked with black stripes modeled after vintage race cars.

Features include: Our quick-access wipes window at the bottom of the front of the pack that accommodates most brands of wipes, two large pockets with numerous sections and organization mesh that makes it easy to find your essentials, two bottle pockets accessible from the exterior, and our slim design changing pad (included). At the top of the pack, we have a revolutionary feature we call the "diaper hammock." This pocket keeps diapers from getting lost in the bottom of the pack and allows for easy access when changing your child. In addition, we designed the largest pocket in this pack like luggage. It has a clamshell opening, so accessing items at the bottom of a full bag is easy. As a result, you won't disrupt your organized packing job. If these features weren't enough to persuade you, we designed this pack to fit a man's frame with an 18" tall back panel. It is one of very few, if not the only, diaper backpacks sized specifically for dad. Additionally, we ensure our quality standards are met by using high quality, large zippers with dual pulls on nearly every pocket, heavy-duty fabrics, and durable hardware. This backpack is available in several colors.

DadGear Cargo Jacket:
The DadGear Cargo Jacket™ is the long-sleeved brother of the DadGear Diaper Vest™. Our revolutionary twist on the traditional diaper bag sets the standard for our "hands free" line. Combining comfort and style, you can change, feed, and entertain your child with ease and no one will be able to tell you are wearing your diaper bag. We have strategically placed pockets for all of the baby-care essentials that a diaper bag would hold. The jacket is constructed with high quality materials for ultimate durability and longevity.

Moonlight Slumber, makers of premium sleep products for the health and comfort of little dreamers, announced an expansion to its popular Starlight Support mattress line. Available since May of 2004, Starlight Support mattresses are the best children’s mattresses available today. Sold nationwide in retail specialty stores and e-tail outlets like Posh Tots, the Starlight Support mattresses are developing quite a following. Now with the newly expanded size range, buyers can get a premium Starlight Support mattress to fit any size they may need while instantly knowing the price and delivery time.

Starlight Support mattresses are available for cradle, crib, toddler beds, twin-, full-, queen-, and king-sizes, as well as round crib sizes. The mattress is also available as a flat changing table pad or as a custom order to fit any need. Moonlight Slumber also provides quality bunky boards to complete a youth bed ensemble.

Terri Paul, president of Moonlight Slumber, describes this move to complete the size offerings of Starlight Support™ mattresses: “We’ve always made our mattresses available in any custom size, but by making the full line of standard sizes, in addition to custom sizes, we make it easier for buyers to know instantly the prices and delivery times of our product. We are enjoying such a high level of success with our mattress, we truly want to make it as accessible to buyers as possible. The Starlight Support mattress is the type of product where once you see it, you know the differences instantly. The Starlight Support mattress is a premium product. By making it fast and easy to order, we’re making it easier for people to judge us for themselves.”

The Starlight Support mattress from Moonlight Slumber stands apart from competitive products with features like:

A fire resistant barrier that exceeds all current and planned fire retardant Federal Flammability Standards (including CAL TB 603).
Welded seams instead of sewn seams (which means no needle holes), keeping out dust mites, bacteria, and excess body fluids.
Antimicrobial treatment inside and out to prevent bacteria growth for the lifetime of the mattress.
Elimination of taped edges (the decorative ‘roll’ on corners of a standard mattress). This taping absorbs moisture and becomes host to bacteria.
Squared corners and edges to promote the tightest fit possible in the crib.
High-density side rails to make edges firmer, subtly encouraging infants to sleep in the middle of the mattress where there is an increased level of safety and ventilation.
Premium ticking, which has a suede-like feel, yet is flame retardant, antimicrobial, impenetrable by dust mites, allergens, and fluids and is stain resistant. This softer ticking eliminates the need for a mattress pad.

Further, the Starlight Support mattress line boasts comfort and beauty. Each side has a different degree of firmness: one for infants, the other for toddlers. The ticking remains supple for life without cracking or making noise and the clean edges pull sheets taut making a crisp, beautiful bed.

Starlight Support mattresses are available in a high-density foam or a more traditional foam encapsulated innerspring model. The price for either style is the same, so the decision is purely up to customer preference.

Starlight Support mattresses are also available in a Supreme model which covers the firm toddler side of the mattress with viscoelastic memory foam. This foam supports growing joints and keeps Baby’s spine in perfect alignment. The Supreme models are available in all sizes in either a foam encapsulated innerspring or the all foam variety. The Starlight Support Supreme offers the plushest experience in youth mattresses.
