Green Bambino Summer Diaper Bazaar

No Comments 07 May 2012

Let’s have a diaper bazaar!

We try not to call it a diaper swap since you don’t have to swap or sell used diapers to participate. Everyone is welcome whether you plan to buy, sell, trade or just browse and meet other cloth diapering parents.

Since this diaper bazaar will be held on the sidewalk outside Green Bambino, we have plenty of space to accommodate everyone. Gently used diapers, diapering accessories and baby carriers will be welcome. Please limit the amount of items you bring to what will fit on/under one table.

Sellers:

Clean, dry, odor-free gently used diapers only, please. Don’t make us do a sniff test :) . Our employees will be spot-checking diapers. Please remove from sale any they find to be defective.

You may also bring cloth diapering accessories and gently used baby carriers to sell.

Please bring your own table and chair (card table-size works best).

Bring some cash with which to make change. We don’t take a cut of your sale, and we can’t make change for everyone.

Questions about pricing your used diapers? Give us a call; we’re glad to help.

Buyers:

All sales take place between the buyer and the seller – that is, Green Bambino doesn’t take a cut. That also means you’ll need to bring plenty of cash since we can’t run the sale through the cash register.

While we all hope that the gently used diapers available for sale will be in fully functional order, please remember that Green Bambino is not responsible for the quality of your purchase.

Our staff will be on hand if you have questions about unfamiliar brands or styles.

Everyone:

Our diaper bazaars are pretty laid back and easy going. If you have questions, let us know. There is no obligation to buy – feel free to come out just to meet other cloth diapering parents and make new friends.

If the weather turns for the worse, check back to this Eventbrite listing. We’ll do our best to move the event indoors rather than postponing.

TrueWomb sleeping swaddle

6 Comments 30 January 2012

TrueWomb® – Features and Benefits of the Sleep System!

• Realistically recreates the womb by allowing movement of baby’s arms and legs rather than binding them or simply not addressing them
• SwaddleTech™ Pouch replicates the feel of the uterine wall, keeping baby’s legs in womblike fetal position with just enough resistance to stretch and kick while active and returning legs to naturally desired fetal position while at rest
• SecureSleeve™, escape-proof design secures arms across the body comfortably while still allowing for natural movement of the arms and hands
• ComfortWrap™ belt adjusts for growth and provides a gentle yet snug fit. Soft pressure on the abdomen reduces colic symptoms and provides the comfort of tummy sleeping with safety of sleeping on the back
• Greatly reduces or eliminates gastrointestinal colic
• Improves quality of sleep by reducing the “startle reflex”
• Enhances feeding as a result of improved quality and duration of sleep
• Lightweight, breathable four-way stretch cotton provides comfort and prevents overheating
• Available in four sizes –X-Small (XS) thru Large (L) to fit babies 4.5 to 22 pounds

Available in Blue, Pink, Green and White.

Green Bambino Winter Diaper Bazaar

2 Comments 03 January 2012

Let’s have a diaper bazaar!

We try not to call it a diaper swap since you don’t have to swap or sell used diapers to participate. Everyone is welcome whether you plan to buy, sell, trade or just browse and meet other cloth diapering parents.

This will be our first time to have an indoor diaper bazaar, so we will be limited on the number of sellers we can host. In order to ensure lots of selection of used diapers, we ask that sellers have a minimum of 24 diapers or diapering accessories (covers, snappis, etc) to sell. If you don’t have that many, consider pairing up with a friend. If you have just a few things to sell, feel free to bring them with you, we just won’t have table space available unless someone is willing to share.

In order to fit everyone inside, we will have to pack away our toys and play areas. If you plan to bring your child(ren) with you, please bring something with which to entertain them if needed as our toys will be in storage for the morning.

Sellers:

Clean, dry, odor-free gently used diapers only, please. Don’t make us do a sniff test :) .

Please bring your own table and chair (card table-size works best).

Bring some cash with which to make change. We don’t take a cut of your sale, and we can’t make change for everyone.

Questions about pricing your used diapers? Give us a call; we’re glad to help.

New Parent Class (We’re back home…now what?)

1 Comment 25 October 2011

There is a wealth of information about infants and how to care for them. But, when one expert says to do one thing and another tells you not to do that very same thing, how can you know what is right for your baby and your family?

All the books and other people’s well-intentioned advice is meant for the average baby. This class will help you know what to do for your baby. Every infant has ways to communicate with you. There is a way to know if your infant is hungry, needs to burp, pass gas, wants to go to sleep, etc. Once you understand the ways your baby communicates you will be able to choose the right things to do with confidence. This class will help you to understand your baby’s language and specific needs.

In addition, you will learn:

•How to swaddle your baby and why you will want to

•Proven soothing methods to calm any baby

•Hunger cues as well as how to know when you baby is satiated

•Tips on ways to bond with your newborn

•Two great massage techniques

•Answers to parents FAQs as well as a chance to ask your own questions

Newborns welcome. Please register below.

Andrea Ross works as a Postpartum Doula and has a Bachelors in Psychology. She has worked with families, children and infants for years. In addition to gaining her certification as a postpartum doula, she is also a certified breastfeeding educator so bring your questions and enjoy this 45 minute class.
