Sensible Lines Milk Trays Review & Giveaway....

As a first time mom-to-be, I'm admittedly quite clueless when it comes to breastfeeding, let alone breast pumping and milk storage.  {I'm hoping to feel more confident on the subject come tomorrow evening when we take our breastfeeding class!}  Seems to me that the simpler the solution, the better it would work.

I've seen the breast milk bags in the nursing section of Target, but those just look messy and expensive!  When I came across Milk Trays by Sensible Lines, I knew they looked like something worth trying. 

I love the idea that the milk gets frozen in perfect one ounce bars, which makes measuring easy and waste free.  Milk can be frozen in the BPA-free, medical grade trays, and then stored in regular freezer bags for up to four months.  When you're ready to use, you can simply take out the quantity you need, thaw and use.  I can't imagine it getting any simpler.  Plus, the versatile shape of the trays means the frozen bars will fit through any bottle opening on the market. Also, the trays are reusable, which will keep costs down....always a bonus!

I know the whole breast feeding thing will take some trial and error, but I'm confident with this system, freezing the milk won't be a cause for worry!

The kind ladies at Sensible Lines have offered up a breast milk freezing system for one lucky jdavissquared reader!  Fill out the form below to enter to win!

Moby Wrap Review & Giveaway...

I've always been intrigued by baby wearing.  I've seen moms out and about with their babies strapped into these wraps and always thought they looked so cozy.  At the same time, I was mesmerized with how on earth the moms were able to tie that wrap!

Since getting pregnant, I've learned a little more about Moby Wraps, and knew I wanted to reach out to them for the baby shower event here on jdavissquared.  I'm thrilled that they were willing to participate, and am so excited to kick off this week of reviews and giveaways with the Moby Wrap!

I chose the Original Wrap in Leaf as shown above.  I love the rich green color, and felt like it will transition well from season to season.  My first impression was of the darling packaging.  The wrap comes perfectly rolled up and in a self fabric bag. 

Jon and I "tested" out tying the wrap using the detailed instruction booklet that came with it.  {There are also great instructions on the website, along with videos!} Honestly, it was slightly intimidating at first.  This wrap is LONG!  Definitely something I'll have to plan ahead to wear.  For instance, I could see myself putting it on before leaving the house if I plan to carry BabyD around the store, and then place them in it when I get there.  Not something you want to be trying to tie in a parking lot.
It didn't take long before we realized it's really quite simple.  I think it will just take a little practice.

I had planned to take pictures of me wearing it, but it was a little awkward with the belly!  I can see how it will fit much better after the baby is born.  

One thing I haven't quite figured out, is how to store it.  I'm not sure I'll ever get it rolled back up like it came.  Any advice for "neat" storage?  You know, other than wadding it into a ball? 

And now for the super fun part....One jdavissquared reader is going to get a Moby Wrap of their very own!  Fill out the form below for your chance to win!
