Baby's Breath Spring Vendor Blender Fundraiser
2018-05-14 - 2018-05-21 | Online
Join us for our 2018 Spring Vendor Blender Fundraiser. This is a week long event that takes place online in our Facebook group. There have been some wonderful women who work in direct sales and have volunteered their time in order to run this fundraiser. Each day a direct sales representative will feature the items available for purchase from their business. At the end each representative has committed to donate a portion of their proceeds back to Baby’s Breath. It is a win-win situation. You get to try out some great new products and Baby’s Breath gets a donation! This sale is online and items can be shipped anywhere in Canada so everyone can take part.
Mark your calendars and we will see you there!

Safe Sleep Week 2024
2024-03-11 - 2024-03-15
This years theme: “Decorate the room, not the crib”

A bare crib is best. All you need is a tight-fitting mattress and a fitted sheet designed for the mattress.
Bedding sets, pillows and bumper pads, even the mesh ones, may look nice but they are not safe for your baby because:

any loose or soft items in or around your baby’s crib can suffocate your baby
older babies or toddlers can use bumper pads to climb out of their crib

Baby nests or pods (small, portable pads with soft, padded sides) and other soft products like nursing pillows may look cozy but they are not recommended for sleep. These products increase a baby’s risk of suffocation. They should never be used in a crib, cradle or bassinet, or on an adult bed for a baby to sleep in.
Hang artwork, shelves and other wall decor away from your baby’s crib, as they can:

Fall into your baby’s sleep space and injure your baby
Be pulled down into the crib as your baby learns to stand and climb

Keep safety in mind when choosing the best spot for your crib.

Place the crib away from windows. Make sure window coverings do not have long accessible cords.
Keep all cords from baby monitors, lamps, sounds machines and other electronics are out of reach of your baby’s crib.
If you have a baby monitor be sure to keep it out of reach of your baby. If you mount your baby monitor, mount it on a wall and not on your baby’s crib.
