Shasta Baby Products on Higher Ground

admin — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 05:17:03 +0000

Shasta products, were highlighted on the entrepreneur RTE programme, Higher Ground, last night, Hope ye had a chance to see the programme as it is an inspirational programme for anyone out there with an idea and you are wondering if you could bring it to market. Ann Marie Durkin is one of those people who had an idea and made a go of it. Mama Babe store loves finding products like the steri soother or steri orb and we are frequently seen at Baby Fairs in search of those products. But in this case we didn’t need to go too far, as Ann Marie is based in Granard, Co longford.

Shasta Steri-soother is a great little idea that is idea for packing in your hospital bag to have when baby is born. The Shasta Steri-Soother is the worlds first pre-sterilised soother, so its idea for the hospital when baby is born and you don’t have time or access to sterilising facilities. Simple idea and the Steri-Soother is also free from all those nasty chemicals that can be found in soothers. They are free from PVC, Paraben, Phthalate and chemical softeners. The Steri-soother is available at a reasonable price too €3.99

The Shasta Steri-Orb is another neat idea, that is idea for parents on the go who cant access sterilising facilities for a dummy because it is not only a dummy sterliser it is also portable, runs on batteries and uses a UV light to remove all bacteria from the dummy. No need to be near a steam sterlisier or Milton fluid when you have a Steri-Orb.

Great ideas from one lady who saw a niche in the baby market to fill new parents needs.

Belly Bands: The Pregnancy Must Have

Being pregnant is one of those exciting and fun times and with your growing bump is also a wardrobe of clothes you dont fit into….If you havent a lot of cash to spend on new maternity clothes why not buy some maternity wear essentials and use a belly band to your pre-pregnancy wardrobe . They are simple yet just what you need.

In the early days of pregancy you maybe able to get away with leaving the top button open on your jeans and if you pop on your belly band over your pregnant tummy and jeans the open button is covered up!

Later on in pregnancy you will also find the your pre-pregnancy tops are just getting too short and a simple belly band will bridge the gap where your top ends and your jeans start!

Buying a belly band is really an inexpensive way of dealing with a temporary change in your body size and also saves you money too as you can use more of your old wardrobe for much longer or even throughout your pregnancy.

Belly bands are made from cotton and elastin and come in lots of colours including black and white which are the most popular colours as they blend in with any outfit or wardrobe.

Holiday Wear for Irish Beaches….

If you are taking advantage of our lovely weather of late, you will be thinking about keeping babies and kids safe from the sun and also the chills that can suddenly occur on a typical trip to Strandhill or Lahinch.

Protecting our little ones from the suns harmful rays is paramount and not only can be protect them with high UV sun creams, there is a vast array of sun protection clothing out there too. Sun hats are a must and its best to try to pick one with a brim that will shade the face but also the back of the neck. Special UV sun hats are also available and are often part of a matching set of UV swim/sun suit and hat.

If you are worried about the change in weather, a great idea is to look for a long towelling hoodie which ensures your kids can play away in the sand for ages while staying cosy and warm.

The UV tents or even an ordinary tent are a great idea for providing shelter for young kids or babies from any wind or sun.

So there is no excuse not to enjoy our Irish beaches … bring plenty of sun cream, UV sun suits for protect from sun ( and also the cold) and a long hoodie for when the the sun hides behind one of those clouds ……
