stainless steel

organicKidz has created the world's first stainless steel baby bottle!! Sounds crazy I know.....but read on to hear about all the benefits of this new product!

These bottles are BPA free (or Bisphenol A free) and do not contain any other harmful substances like Phthalates, PVC's or lead. Last April the Canadian Government claimed BPA to be toxic and banned further use in baby bottles and infant formula can linings. So we already know that they can make BPA free plastic, so why go with stainless steel?? It's super durable and long-lasting; meaning it can be exposed to heat and cold without becoming brittle or break down. It's scratch-resistant, so no food or bacteria can get in! Stainless steel is also a 100% recyclable product!

This Calgary based company designed their stainless steel bottles with kids in mind; making them light weight, easy to hold, and hard to damage (we all know how the drop it, bang it, throw it game goes!). Stainless steel is also easy to clean and dishwasher safe (does anyone buy anything that's not these days??).

And if this product doesn't sound great already, they have also made stainless steel super-cute!! The baby bottles come in 4 oz., 7 oz., and 9 oz. sizes in a variety of trendy color choices and patterns.

You can view these award-winning bottles at www.organickidz.ca. I am personally planning on ordering one (or two) when it comes time to weaning my baby!

naturally sweet....

Eeee!! It's my first blog post and as you can probably tell, I'm super-excited about it! I have wanted to create this blog for some time now and I have finally had some time to gather all my ideas and get it started.

So what is naturally sweet?? It is where I will share information, ideas, and showcase a variety of products that are everything baby and toddler (& maternity too)!! Naturally sweet has a sweet spot for locally made (yay Canada!) items, as well as those that are eco-friendly and safe for our wee ones.

And who am I? My name is Tracy and I am a first time mama to my six and a half month old baby girl. She brings me such sweet joy and I can never get enough of her belly laughs!! In my role as a public health nurse, I am able to access current health and safety information to promote better practices; protecting our children and ourselves, and in turn can help prevent both accidents and illness! Phew...that was a mouthful!

My goal for naturally sweet is to create a comfortable environment where you can sit back with your morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine and learn something new or perhaps find that perfect item for babe. Enjoy and thanks for making time to read my blog (I truly know how precious our time is). All the best to you and your lil' monkeys.
