MOMMY REVIEW: Dream Belly Butter


I heard about Dream Belly in a monthly baby magazine subscription during my second trimester. I was drawn to the cute pink packaging and the ingredients. Dream Belly Stretch Mark Cream is full of beautiful botanicals for your skin such as, jojoba, aloe vera, shea, vitamin e, grapefruit seed extract, cocoa butter, beeswax, sunflower, palm and olive, and rose hip seed oil.

The consistency of the butter formula is smooth and thick, where as the cream formula is a thinner consistency. The butter should be used as a night treatment, and the cream for daytime. Both formulas absorb well into the skin and left my skin feeling nourished. 

Bottom Line... does it work?! I believe the Dream Belly system reduced my potential stretch marks. I have continued to use the butter and cream postpartum and my stretch marks are barely visible now. 
I highly recommend this as it works and it has so many awesome, nourishing ingredients for your skin! DreamBelly is TOTALLY worth the price!

Thanks for reading!

MOMMY REVIEW: Inspired Mother Feeding Support Pillow

I gave birth a month ago to a beautiful baby boy, Luca.  I knew from the beginning of my pregnancy that I planned to breast feed. Since coming home from the hospital, breast feeding for me has not been easy. I know everyone has their own experiences, but my son really struggled with latching on and feeding. This feeding support pillow from Inspired Mother has helped me so much with positioning my son, helping him feel comfortable and supported to latch on to my breast.  The pillow is similar to those boppy pillows, so not only is this pillow wonderful for breast feeding, but I like to take a nice soft blanket and wrap it over this pillow, lay it on the floor and rest my son there for naps or just a comfy and supportive seat for him. He LOVES it!  This pillow is on sale right now at Drugstore.com for just under $22 so I highly recommend that you check it out!
