Product Review - Fluffy Duck Design - Large Bib.

Just to give you some background information here. Fluffy Duck Design is a business my friend set up.. I have more items from her coming soon which I call fluffy post. I do love my fluffy post, but right now back to business on this review.

I brought a large custom bib in a custom owl design. 

My first impressions were that it's quite thick this impressed me. I have a young baby with reflux and sickness issues. Also when putting it on my baby I found its quite long which again is also gret for a baby with reflux as it will cover her clothes. Within minutes of wearing this we had a sickness and the thickness of these bibs amazed me, normally the bibs I use get soaked through, not this one. The back of this stayed dry while the front had mopped up the sickness.

The poppers on this are good to the way they have been designed is that there are 2 poppers on them. One size for the smaller sized baby and one for the bigger baby. This is such a good idea and the clasps that have been put on them stay together when fastened unlike some bibs which just carry on falling apart.

The only down side I can find to these is I can't just throw them in the washing machine due to the flannelette backing. They need to be washed separately then put in the machine for a spin. They have to be washed in cool water instead of just chucked in.

Beck I hope ive not upset you with this your work is amazing! Here's a photo of the bib I've reviewed.

Laryngomalacia

Laryngomalacia. What is it? Well it's the medical term for a floppy larynx. My daughter was born with it. It means her voice box is even more immature than a normal baby's.
 
The tissues of the larynx collapse into the airway when the child breathes in which is what causes the noisy breathing sound they make. It is usually present at birth and gets better as the child gets older. It can take up to the age of 2 for a child to recover from laryngomalacia. Sometimes the child can be older.
 
There is no precise cause of laryngomalacia. It is all unknown. All different babies will present with different symptoms for this as no baby is same. I was fobbed off by my hospital and GP that my daughter just had mucus on her chest after delivery, despite the fact she stops breathing in her sleep, can't sleep on her back and has reflux which is more common in babies with lm.

Some symptoms include:
Noisy breathing which becomes worse with agitation, crying, excitement, feeding, the position they sleep in. 
Poor weight gain
Difficulty feeding
Vomiting or spitting up
Choking on food
Stops breathing 
Chest/Neck retractions
Turning blue
Gastroesophageal Reflux

There's a lot of support groups for parents of children with LM. Some are on facebook and there's also a few forums. If you can't find them don't hesitate to contact me by clicking on the contact me page.

An Intro To Us.

 All chucked in. Your probably sat there thinking well what's all chucked in. It's exactly what it says. It's everything about my life, some advice, some stories and whatever else I can find to chuck in there and complete it. So you what your reading about, but who's writing it?

I'm Jenny, I'm a 21 year old pro-breastfeeding, baby-led weaning, co-sleeping mama. I believe in attachment parenting to some degree. I believe that answering my babies cries straight away will always resolve in a positive outcome. So in a nutshell that's me.

Life's a rollercoaster and I'm finally ready to live it, discover who I am and help out along the way... So are you up for the ride? Because I am.
