Lena Loves… MD Moms Baby Silk CLOSED
Definitely topping the list of sought after products is the MD Moms Baby Silk line. The products, created by board-certified pediatricians and moms Dr. Diane Truong and Dr. JJ Levenstein, are the first pediatrician-developed personal care line for babies. And after spending a quarter of a century caring for children and advising thousands of new parents, they’ve truly created your baby’s prescription for healthy skin.
Why I trust the products:
Developed with pure, effective advanced ingredients
Gentle enough for sensitive skin but highly effective
Protect from environmental damage
Critical maintenance of skin’s natural moisture barrier
Promote bonding between parent & baby
Why I love the products:
Packaging & products thoughtfully developed
Products that do “double duty” by having a dual use
Modern aesthetics & smart design*
Specially formulated so small doses provide big results
*Okay, I have to talk about this first. You know how sometimes you come across a fabulous product – which just happens to be outfitted in really pretty packaging? And then, you can’t bear to hide it under the vanity, so you proudly display the item on your countertop? Well, that’s how much I love the modern aesthetics of Baby Silk products. With the irresistible combination of robin egg blue and brown, they’re constantly “on show” in the bathroom!
(Before you ask, we had a power failure when I took this picture. But since when did no lights stop a determined mommy? That’s why cameras have flashes!)
I had the pleasure of testing the following products: baby silk gentle all over clean hair and body wash, baby silk gentle all over clean cleansing towelettes (not pictured above – used them all up!), baby silk delicate skin comfort silky liquid powder, baby silk gentle scalp rub exfoliating cleanser for cradle cap, and baby silk soothing bottom relief diaper rash cream.
All I can say: WOW. These are honest-to-goodness the BEST baby products I’ve ever used (and as a product junkie, you know I’ve tried many!) They are fully, 100%, stop-reading-here-and-just-buy-everything Lena Approved. I won’t use anything else.
The hair and body wash is strong enough to clean away all traces of Ryder’s daily adventures in paint, jam and puddles of mud – yet thoroughly cares for his delicate skin without harsh chemicals or irritation.
I double duty the cleansing towelletes to remove my own traces of makeup, and give Ryder’s mouth and hands a good swipe when we’re on the go. (Please don’t laugh, but I can’t bear to use them on his bum. With their deliciously delicate scent and soft, touch-me texture, I’d rather use them on my cheeks than his!)
Now I’m one of those really lucky parents who never had to face a day of diaper rash. Whether this is because Ryder’s got super resilient skin, or because I’ve had the good sense to apply the soothing bottom relief diaper rash cream from almost day one, we’ll never know. What I do know – the cream smooths on white, then turns clear to provide an invisible moisture barrier and to protect, soothe, heal and moisturize all-in-one.
And here’s a tip: do not attempt to face a humid, sticky summer without the silky liquid powder. Designed to keep any fold or crevice comfortably dry and cool, it works wonders in those chubby little folds around the neck and knees (and a quick application on daddy’s feet before he plays basketball doesn’t hurt either!)
Finally, I haven’t had the opportunity to try the exfoliating cleanser for cradle cap just yet. After confessing to an almost OCD-like round of battling mild cradle cap with Ryder (for 2-3 months after birth, never more than a visual problem, yet always a thorn in this mommy’s side), MD Moms were incredibly thoughtful and sent me their gentle scalp rub so I would be well prepared when baby-to-be arrives in May. Thanks MD Moms!

Paraben-free, preservative-free and sulfate-free
Contain no phthalates, lanolin, mineral oil, petroleum, waxes, wheat or gluten
Tear free, clinically tested & hypoallergenic
Made in the USA
Not tested on animals

Introducing Baby’s First Journal – “a compre-hensive log book enabling parents to track the eating, sleeping and diapering schedules of their newborn. Easy to use and portable, this journal will help in understanding the baby’s needs and assist in developing a daily routine.”
This time, I plan to be much more organized with the help of Baby’s First Journal. (I’ll need to be; as I’ve heard the infant/toddler combination is not something to take lightly.) The journal was proudly created by Canadian Lindsay Harris. As a mother of two young daughters, Lindsay quickly came to appre-ciate the difficulties of caring for a toddler while at the same time making sure the needs of her newborn were met. So she developed a simple yet effective means of tracking feedings, diaper changes, sleeping, bathing, etc., designed in a slim, portable and stylish journal.
Baby’s First Journal is PTPA Award Winning! Our parent evaluators loved the design, content, and ease of use. The gorgeous journals are available in pink, blue and green and retail for just $15.99, making them a stylish essential that’s affordable, too. Glow Baby also offers magnetic pads designed to make your life easier, such as a Medicine Pad, Shopping List, To Do List and Babysitter Notes. All help you stay organized and easily attach to your fridge for convenience.
