Fun in the Sun Essentials: Mammas Milk Solarveil sling

Another Premier Baby Concierge "Fun in the Sun Essential" showcased on the 10! Show was the Mamma's Milk sling made of solarveil material.  This amazing patented material provides maximum coolness for mom and baby while providing an extreme SPF 70+!

 

When you only have one child, you can often avoid the sun by staying indoors or in the shade, but if you are with an older sibling at the beach or park, that can be more of a challenge. 

How great to have this option, especially for young babies that you may not want to use sun block on just yet.  Further, this material is quick drying, so if you venture into a wading pool with big brother and get splashed, you and baby won't be damp for long!

Ooh, and grab one of these awesome travel baby wipes dispensers called Swipes!  I have one of these in my diaper bag and it is a million times better than one of those bulky hard plasic on-the-go wipes dispensers that sometimes come open in your bag, leaving you with dried out wipes! 

This is a great baby shower or second time mom gift because of the price ($15.99) and because it's something they likely won't find on their own!

Fun in the Sun Essentials: Pop Up Family Beach Tent

One of the great items we featured on the 10! Show this week was this beach tent.  Just pop-up, use the stakes, and add a little sand in the side pockets to further secure,  and it offers protection from the sun, a little privacy on a crowded beach, and a great shady spot to take a nap!  Now to be honest, I have a little trouble packing it back up (picture yourself folding one of those automobile dashboard sun visor things) to leave the beach, but I have an earlier version so they may have addressed this, and nevertheless, it's still worth the effort!  Here's what it looks like collapsed:  
Parent Tip:  If your beach, like mine, doesn't have public restrooms nearby (or even if it does- yuck!) and a sudden potty trip means high-tailing if off the beach and racing three blocks to home, pack this amazing little on-the-go potty (an essential for the trunk of any car carrying potty-trainers!), too, and avoid the whole scenario!  Close your tent vents for privacy and your little once can take care of business, get a spritz of foaming hand sanitizer and be back to building sand castles in no time flat.  When I've been alone with kids on the beach, this has saved me!  It's unthinkable to take everyone home at a moment's notice, especially when the need to pee often arises nearly as soon as our feet have hit sand!
