If you’ve heard of and love the Knot, an excellent invaluable magazine that helps brides plan and prepare for the big day well then you will love the Bump. From the editors and creators of the Knot, the Bump provides another exceptional local and online tool for expectant mothers and new parents. Baby Gear Exchange is now featured as one of their local resources for baby gear in San Diego. The Bump’s online tool is really amazing. You can register to chat or participate in message boards with other new and expecting parents. This allows you to get advice or share experiences with other local moms. which is so great because it helps to know that others are going through the same thing you are. You can ask real questions and get honest answers from other moms and dads. I love all the other great resources on their web site – ovulation calendar tool for those that want to conceive, pregnancy month by month guide for those that are expecting, and newborn month by month guides for those with little ones. You will find so many great articles, reviews, tips, charts, etc for you to answer your questions whether you’re a mom (or dad)-to-be, a new parent, a breastfeeding mom, or hope to be a parent soon.
We love the section about local guides (which is where you will find us) – this provides all the local, one of kind businesses throughout San Diego that you need to find your baby products. We found a photographer last year that captured AMAZING maternity photos of me as well as newborn pictures of my little one. We also found businesses that we didn’t even know existed in San Diego.
We love the Bump’s magazine as well. It is distributed in various OBGYN’s offices as well as other baby retailers. The magazine features great stories about other parent’s experiences along with guides and tips as expecting mothers or current parents. It’s a great magazine and we are proud to be advertising in the Bump.
Their next magazine will be distributed in May 2010, which will include our ad. Until then we can found on their website under the “Local Guides” and/or “Local Deals”. Anyone that registers on their website will be able to use the special reward we offer to the Bump members only

ERGObaby carrier - such a lifesaver
If you are in the market for a new baby carrier or are unsatisfied with your current carrier, then the ERGObaby is your answer. I wish someone had told me about this carrier when I had my first baby, I tell everyone it is a MUST HAVE. Do not waste your money on those carriers you find at the super baby stores, trust me!
The reason I came across the ERGObaby is because I had done a search on a major online buying store for the best baby carrier. I could not stand my current baby carrier, but with a 2 year old and a bad back I desperately needed a good carrier. The ERGObaby had the top reviews, so many parents were raving about it. Seeing the carrier online brought up several concerns for me. I was concerned about the fact that it did not have any security buttons or locks to keep the baby in place. Also, I was not sure it would fit me comfortably. I found the nearest retailer (which was about 25 miles+ from me). At the time I tried the ERGObaby my little one was 6 months old and weighed 17 pounds, so I was a little skeptical that the carrier would comfortably fit my baby.
Anyhow, I tried on the carrier and it was AMAZING. It was not at all a challenge to figure out to wear the baby. I then tried it with my baby on my back, and again very comfortable! For me, it was a pricey purchase, but it was and has been worth every penny. My husband loves it too.
The real test factor was when I used it with my then 2 year old – she fit very comfortably in it too. In fact, at a trip to Disneyland my 2 year old wanted me to carry her while she napped. I strapped her on my back and carried her while she napped. This was during a mile and a half walk. Neither she nor I had any problems.
We’ve used the ERGObaby in places that don’t allow strollers or where strollers are just inconvenient to bring – San Diego Sports Arena, Padres baseball games, beach, and other amusement parks.
The other thing I love about the ERGObaby is that you can use it to nurse discreetly and anywhere. I am an “on the go” Mom and am always doing 5 things at once. With the ERGObaby we can be grocery shopping or waiting in line for a ride at Legoland and I snap over the hood and/or cover us with my nursing shawl and nurse wherever and whenever.
Today my little one is 13 months and weighs over 23 lbs., we still use our ERGObaby everywhere we go. We love it, and you will surely love it too!!
