No more chills in Minnesota!

If a picture says a thousand words, these are priceless. Sarah, who blogs at http://www.minnesotamamasmusthaves.com/ posted these precious photos of her newborn, Aiden, both before and after the Bath Luve. Sarah wrote, "So Mr. Aiden wasn't a big fan of his first bath...but luckily we are the proud owners of a Bath Luve."

Another blog review!

Thank you to Jessica who blogs at winningmommys.blogspot.com. Jess gave Bath Luve a review and wrote she only wished she'd found one sooner!

"I remember when we first brought home our first born. His first month of me giving him baths was just awful...I knew there had to be a better way...The Bath Luve is genious!"

I'm so happy to be helping babies and their parents have more relaxing, fun bath times!

Following Your Passion

Melanie Conklin, a product designer from near New York City, wrote about the Momtreprenuers trend and how, especially in this economy, many moms are striking out on their own to replace their job or create new revenues for their families. Melanie sent me a note to use Bath Luve as an example -- of course I was happy to do so! I love encouraging new momtreprenuers on their journey!

One thing Melanie wrote which really hit home was "This mom took advantage of her experience as a consumer and it will most likely translate into success, unlike companies who enter markets with which they have no real connection. A lesson for the future of business = be true to your passions, for only then will you offer consumers a product that connects with theirs!"

It's true that my passion is for families and the quality time they spend together. It's amazing how rewarding it is to offer a product which helps parents and babies during the stressful times of bathing in the early months.

I wish all of you a Happy New Year! Pursue your dreams in 2010.

This made my day!

Jenna, who blogs at www.momsbalancingact.com, wrote a wonderful review of the Bath Luve, but my favorite part of her review are the pictures of her son Kaden - before and after the Bath Luve. Just seeing his sad face turn into a contented one was so wonderful!

Here's some of what Jenna had to say:

"We then placed the Bath

Luve on him and immediately noticed a difference. He was not upset and actually seemed to be enjoying bath time. It was amazing! The great thing was that the Bath Luve was plenty big and will allow for many more uses as Kaden continues to grow."

"Along with our Bath Luve we also received a Bath Luve Buddy. It was a great help in keeping the Bath Luve wet without having to take it off of Kaden. Not only can it easily be used to squeeze warm water onto the Bath Luve, but also as a wash cloth and even a soft toy once your baby is a bit older."

"After having had the chance to use the Bath Luve with Kaden, I don't know how we ever gave Kaelyn baths without it. It would make the perfect gift for any new parent or expecting parent this holiday season."

Of course, a picture does say a thousand words!

Blogger's newborn has great first bath with his Bath Luve

BethAnne Hunter, who blogs at happilydomestic.blogspot.com, had great things to say about the Bath Luve and her experience with her newborn son, "J."

"The day after I brought baby "J" home from the hospital I gave him his first bath. I got everything prepared and had his Bath Luve frog soaking in the warm bath water waiting to be used. I quickly undressed my newborn son and got him in his tub sling. He flinched for about 2 seconds, but as soon as the warm Bath Luve frog was draped on his body he calmed right down. Not a tear was shed and bath time was a pleasant experience."

"I have given my baby several baths since that first one and each time he has been able to stay nice and warm and bath time has been stress free. I recommend this product for every parent with a new baby."

Thanks BethAnne and congrats on your new little one!

Hooray for pink!

MaryEllen, who blogs at http://www.thedealscoop.com/, is one of first bloggers to review the Pink Fish Bath Luve. She's actually using it to bathe her daughter on the counter because the sweet little girl is still so tiny. Here's what MaryEllen had to say:

"Once I was able to use the Bath Luve on her, she was much calmer during her bath because she was actually able to stay warm! The Bath Luve is made from light-weight terrycloth so that you can wet it with warm water and then cover your baby with it to keep her warm without it being too heavy. Although the Bath Luve was intended to be used when the baby is actually in the water, it actually served its purpose just as much (if not more) when my daughter was out of the water since she was still cold. The shape of the Bath Luve is perfect since it keeps the baby's entire core covered, yet is easy to lift up when you need to wash her."

Thanks Mary Ellen! Hope you and your little girl have many fun bath times with the Bath Luve!

Another Blog Review!

A big thank you to Carrie, who blogs at over30mommy.blogspot.com for her review of the Bath Luve. She wrote, after using the Bath Luve for her daughter:

"Amy from Bath Luve was generous enough to send me the Duck Bath Luve and coordinating Bath Buddy for Wiggle Bean to try out. Being that the Bath Luve was originally designed for babies, I thought that it might be a little small for Wiggle Bean since she is 9 months old. This was not a

problem at all, the Duck Luve is a generous 14"x10". Bean is more active in the bath now and does not lay down to where we could cover her chest with the Bath Luve. I could barely get her to sit still enough to take a picture of her in the Luve. Wiggle Bean liked wearing her Luve as cape. This worked well to keep her back warm while she was playing in the tub and she loved playing with the Bath Buddy."

Another blog review!

Thanks to Hailey at http://www.cutelikemegiveaways.blogspot.com/ for her great review of the Bath Luve who asked her sister-in-law to do a hands-on test of the Bath Luve's results.

"I was able to pass it along to my sister in law for review to use on her most recent addition (ah sweet baby Zachary) - and she LOVES it (and I love that because it's my sister in law using it - I'll get it back! lol). Not only did she agree that it was completely adorable, but she was THRILLED with how well it kept Zach warm during his bath. Still able to play and splash around, without the shivering and crying from being so cold. Perfect!"

Bath Luve is a Hit in Hawaii

Kailani, a blogger from Hawaii, just posted a great review about Bath Luve at her blog at islandlife808.com. Kailani writes about the concerns many parents have about bathing baby:

"For me, giving baby a bath has always been a stressful time for me. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because I’m always worried that she’s too cold, too hot, too slippery, too uncomfortable. I guess I can’t blame a baby for not wanting to leave their warm swaddle and be suddenly sitting in water. So I’m always looking for a way to make bathtime more enjoyable for everyone. Introducing Bath Luve."

She had a great experience using Bath Luve and is also doing a giveaway through Sept. 15. Her review got me thinking about another Hawaiian baby I received pictures of about a year ago - a 9-month-old cutie enjoying the Bath Luve and Bath Luve Buddy.

With all of this great feedback, don't you think I should take a trip to the islands myself????

Doubter Becomes a Believer!

A blogger and blog-follower in Seattle, Carrie, posted a great review recently - especially fun because she didn't initially see the benefit to the Bath Luve. With the help of her cute daughter Vivian, she's now a believer! Check out Carrie's blog too at growingababyinseattlereviews.blogspot.com.

"I have seen the Bath Luve advertised on a number of blog giveaways, but always thought it was a silly, unnecessary baby item. And then I won one over at this blog (veaterfam.blogspot.com). Tonight I finally put the product to the test, during Vivian's first real bath! We've been doing a sort of modified sponge bath/dunking in a small tub for her, since we didn't buy an infant bathtub. Today I decided to put my newly purchased toddler tub and Bath Luve to the test.I got the bathtub full of warm water and wetted the Bath Luve and then put Vivian in the tub... and it was instant happiness. SERIOUS happiness. She actually laughed for the first time!!! I tried to tape her laughing, but she tends to stare at the video camera instead of behaving, so it didn't work. But I did get some photos of her happiness."

"I think this is a great product- babies love being warm and in the water, and this helps them enjoy their time in the bath even more. The bath luve comes in a cute frog, duck or fish design. Go check out their site! "

First laughter & Bath Luve - what could be better!

A word from our "spokesmodel"

"Our family loves, loves, loves the 'Bath Luve!' We received ours as a gift from Amy after our first daughter Marin was used as a model for the 'Bath Luve.' Although she was out of the teeny newborn stage, it was still a necessity for her during bath time. Not only would we place it over her belly but she also enjoyed having it draped it over her shoulders & back. It was a great way to keep her warm & entertained. She often played with the 'Luve’ using it as a bath toy."

"Once our second daughter Margaux arrived, I couldn't wait to introduce her to the 'Luve.' Just as expected, it made her bath experience more enjoyable & comfortable. Bath time quickly became her favorite time of the day. She kicks & smiles like crazy when she hears the word & I attribute that to the 'Bath Luve.' The best part is she can now stay in the tub longer & have more play time with her big sister because she has the 'Bath Luve' to keep her warm!" - Sara (mother of Marin and Margaux).

Blogger Mommy gives Two Thumbs Up

Jennifer, one of the blogger mommies at bloggermommies.blogspot.com, gave Bath Luve a try with her little one and had great things to say!

"I absolutely love this product! Before using the 'Bath Luve', I seriously dreaded bath time. I felt like I was getting ready to torture my baby. She would scream, shiver and her little chin would quiver, it was awful. It was always a race to get the bath over with, and that would sometimes mean that she would be left with a soapy residue so I would end up wrapping her in a towel and finishing with a sponge bath."

"But now, "B" loves her bath time. She is more comfortable and no longer cries. Bath time actually lasts way longer now because she stays warm. I really like how the 'Bath Luve' leaves her arms and legs free for splashing and playing, which is a pleasant change from before. You can see from this picture how happy she is in her bath."

Auntie Blogger helps Mr. Fussy

Thank you to Robin, who blogs at http://www.lolidots.com/. She received a Bath Luve and shared it with her nephew, featured below.

"When I got one of these Luves to try out I immediately took it over to see my brand-new nephew! My sister-in-law had been dealing with a Mr. Fussy at bathtime so she was totally on board to try something new. As usual, he was fussy when taking off his clothes and laying down in the tub. Once she put the frog on him he stopped fussing! He loved it! He was calm and relaxed for the entire bath! How cute is he!?!"

Blogger officially has a new favorite bath product!

A big Bath Luve thank you to Ashley for her great review at veaterfam.blogspot.com. She's giving away a free Bath Luve too, so visit her blog to register! Here are some of the highlights of her review:

"Everyone hates it when small babies get cold in the bathtub. They don't feel warm or comforted or secure, and they usually start screaming! That happened the first couple of times we bathed Natalie. We started draping wet washcloths over her chest and tummy, which did help, but they didn't provide enough coverage and she usually still got cold. Bath's only lasted a few minutes, becuase we wanted to get her washed and out of the tub quickly so she wouldn't start to cry!"

"The Bath Luve is a totally genius idea! Not only is it totally adorable (which it IS!), it's also the perfect size to drape over baby's shoulders and cover their neck, chest, tummy and private areas. Her arms and legs can still move freely, and it's so soft and keeps her SO warm!

Frog makes a new friend: another blog review

Thanks to Heather, who blogs at mommylovesit.com, for this great review of the Bath Luve. She tried out the Bath Luve frog with her infant daughter and got great results.

"When wearing a Bath Luve, my daughter's arms and legs were still able to move about freely. We simply placed it in warm water, then draped it over our little cupcake. Bath time now lasts longer and is more fun for all when our daughter is happy and comfortable! I love that the product can also be used on older babies, like a cape, keeping the shoulders warm. The premium cotton is super soft and gentle on her skin, and I really think the Bath Luve makes her feel more secure in the tub!"

Check out Heather's blog where she hosts lots of fun giveaways for kids of all ages.

Pregnancy Magazine: Bath Luve is a Must Have

I have exciting news - Bath Luve was featured in the May issue of Pregnancy magazine. The article lists Must-Haves by celebrity designer Kenneth Brown, known for HGTV's reDesign. The items included are all touted as making bath time fun instead of frustrating. Bath Luve certainly fits the bill! Being a mother inventor, to get a mention in Pregnancy magazine is a great honor. Reaching parents and babies before the first bath is my goal!

Bath Luve Frog to the Rescue

A big Bath Luve thank you to Jackie, who blogs at http://www.monkey-mayhem.net/, for her great review of the Bath Luve. Here are some notable quotes:

"When I gave Jaxon his first bath when he was a week old, he screamed his little head off, he was cold and I tried my hardest to keep him as warm as possible. I then found Bath Luve!"

"As you can see in this picture, Jaxon isn't screaming at all! I soaked the Bath Luve in warm water and covered him with it and he was happy as could be! Bath Luve is still a bit big on him, but he's slowly growing into it. If I felt it was cooling down, I just poured a little more warm water over it. I was sooooo happy that he was happy with a bath!"

Thanks Jackie & Jaxon!

Growing into his Bath Luve and Bigger than his Buddy

An update on Kael, our family friends' little baby: he's doing great and is now 52 days old, after being born early. He's still in the NICU at the hospital but is growing stronger and bigger every day. His mom says he's filling out his Bath Luve and now weighs 4 lbs. 10 oz.

We're so happy to report his progress and to hear from his parents on how the Bath Luve has helped him stay warm during baths at the hospital. As you can see he's finally grown bigger than the Bath Luve Buddy! I love the photo of him holding on to his Bath Luve too!
