Prize #1

CleanRest Sleeping Kits

Quantity: 10 kits [10 winners, one kit each]

Each CleanRest Sleeping Kit will include one CleanRest allergy-free pillow for Mom and a CleanRest Crib Mattress Encasement for baby.

The doctor–recommended CleanRest® mattress encasements feature MicronOne™ technology. Protect Your Sleep™ by creating a clean barrier between you and your mattress. This fully-zippered encasement is waterproof, breathable and comfortable.

Scientific studies have shown that if you protect your baby from dust mites and micro-toxins in their sleep environment, you can significantly lessen the chance of asthma and allergies developing. During this critical developmental stage, a CleanRest® crib encasement gives little ones a better chance of avoiding serious allergies, asthma and other health issues as they grow.

Quantity: 5 boxes [five winners, one box each]

The Oh Mama! Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars are chocolate coating wrapped around a crunchy, natural peanut butter filling. Delicious and satisfying! See details for ingredient list.

As every woman knows, nutrition is paramount when pregnant or nursing. Unfortunately, many expectant and nursing mothers—who are at once tired, sick and just plain busy—can’t keep up with what does and does not comprise a balanced diet for themselves, let alone for their baby. While they try to heed doctors’ orders (Steer clear of fish! Increase your protein intake! Load up on DHA and Iron!) hunger strikes at the most inopportune times and it’s a take-what-you-can-get situation.

Formulated with DHA (docosahexanoic acid), an omega-3 fatty acid that’s vital to infant brain, eye and central nervous system development, Oh Mama! offers a nutrient-rich, low-fat, high-protein snacking solution for women who are pregnant, nursing or trying to conceive. Developing babies rely on their mothers for adequate supplies of DHA. Unfortunately, sources are limited in the American diet, and those that do exist such as certain types of organic meats and fatty fish, aren’t healthy choices for pregnant women due to their high mercury content. Oh Mama! offers 115 mg of DHA per serving (300mg a day is recommended for pregnant and nursing women), along with 14 essential vitamins and minerals recommended by The National Academy of Sciences, including iodine and magnesium, which are not easily consumed nor found in most pre-natal vitamins.

Prize #6

Utterly Yours Pregnancy Pillow

Pregnant women still stuggle to find a comfortable sleep position; especially during the third trimester when they’re experiencing more back pain.

The Utterly Yours Pregnancy Pillow is the most compact option out there. It’s made with soft memory foam to cradle mom’s belly; while a firmer density foam keeps her gently on her side for optimal prenatal sleep positioning. It’s also the first design that mom’s will be proud to throw on their bed when not in use due to all the beautiful fabric options.
