You trust your pediatrician right? If you don’t you should change pediatricians! There is something special about these physicians who have chosen to work with young children. They have a tough job; they deal with sick kids and worried-sick parents. They deal with rashes and shots and sleep-deprived nervous-wreck moms. A pediatrician must have patience to properly care for patients (and the parents)!
I met two incredible pediatricians at the ABC show in Las Vegas recently. Appropriately named, MD Moms was formed by two pediatricians who are also caring moms. Not only are they moms and MDs, they have taken this combination to the next level and with their talents, became entrepreneurs.
As Jet with Kids readers know – I love when people see a need and instead of complain about it or ignore it – they take steps to find solutions. And subsequently many times they become inventors. I met some wonderful inventors at the ABC show. A lot of them were moms and dads who were fed up with the lack of proper tools to care for their child.
These 2 pediatrician moms are quite a duo. With heartfelt smiles, these two amazing women tell the story of how and why Baby Silk originated. Listening to what parents wanted, knowing what babies needed – they took their knowledge and combined it with their experience and parent feedback. The result is a baby friendly – oh so silky – convenient product line!
Baby Silk Gentle All-Over Clean Cleansing Towelettes
Realizing that parents often use wipes for multi-purpose “both set of cheeks” as they say, the Baby Silk wipes are gentle, all-over clean cleansing towelettes. These towelettes care for baby’s needs (top to bottom) as well as parent’s needs! At the ABC Kids Show, Dr. Levenstein said, “They even are good for removing your make-up or cleaning your face.” She stated that they had used the wipes all day on their faces for an uplifting refresher to the dry desert air of Las Vegas (hmmm… similar to airplane cabins…).
That evening as I checked into my hotel, I realized that I had left my face cleanser and makeup remover at home. I smiled as I dug through my bag of samples from the day at the convention center. Aha! The wipes! I opened the package and indeed – soft and luxurious is right! My eye makeup came right off and my face felt clean and soft.
The wipes contain a blend of marine silk, vitamins E and B5, certified organic aloe and comfrey – hello moisturizers! (and they provide antioxidant benefits)
Squeaky clean and silky soft – and best of all? Multi-functional! This is a traveler’s wipe – and I can feel good about purchasing these products since a portion of the sales every year go toward a children’s charity of the year. The charity for 2008 is The Oscar Litwak Foundation.
How about other valuable products for traveling families?
All that you need for baby in convenient TSA approved sizes! Here are the contents of the Baby Silk to Go Travel Set:
1. All-Over Clean Hair and Body Wash
Gentle, yet effective, this cleanser is great for kids on the go! Tear-free and great smelling, this wash is made from gentle ingredients perfect for maintaining the natural moisture barrier of a sweet child’s skin. Don’t use those harsh hotel-provided products for your little bundle of softness! With this convenient travel size there is no excuse not to bring your own cleanser.
2. Daily Skin Protection Moisturizing Balm
Flying is dehydrating for ALL passengers. The low humidity of airplane cabins and the dry, cold air of winter can result in cracking, dry, and irritated skin. This moisturizing balm is created specifically for the delicate skin of young children. Just look at these luxurious ingredients: Avocado, Marine Silk, Shea Butter, Olive Oil, Aloe – do you see where I am going with this? Also included are oat, grapeseed oil, and Vitamins E and B5. Talk about silky smooth! These ingredients also provide antioxidant protection and healing. This moisturizing balm is pure forgiveness after the harshness of taking a little one out into cold, dry air!
3. Delicate Skin Comfort Silky Liquid Powder
Travel during any season results in sticky, sweaty passengers- including infants. Overdressed passengers in a stuffy airplane cabin (winter jackets worn indoors through airports and onto airplanes) can quickly cause sweaty, sticky kids. How to keep kids comfy? Talc powder around infants is dangerous if inhaled into the lungs. MDMoms provide a nice alternative. This liquid powder is like a lotion – silky smooth and easy to apply to little creases of baby fat. The lotion then magically transforms into a silky, non-talc powder keeping those crevices cool and dry. Ingredients include marine silk, antioxidant vitamins E and B5, aloe, shea butter (so smooth!), corn starch and licorice. No more sticky, uncomfortable babies! And we all know that keeping babies comfortable and happy in flight is good for everyone!
4. Soothing Bottom Relief Diaper Rash Cream
Want to protect baby’s smooth little buns from the nasty stuff found in their diaper? How horrible diaper rashes must feel to infants who don’t understand why they hurt. MD Moms thought ahead to include a great diaper rash cream in the travel pack. This cream is based on a patented liquid glove formulation – offering your little one an invisible moisture barrier that protects, heals, soothes, and moisturizes all at once! A diaper rash is NOT something to avoid on airplanes. Once again – keeping young children comfortable on planes is an important step to a successful flight!
