Ways to Share the Sex of the Baby with Family and Friends: •

A wrapped present is filled with a pink or blue layette, blanket and other goodies – then, it is opened by the parents-to-be. Surprise!

Bake cupcakes where only one has a gender-specific colored filling. Everyone goes around and takes a bite until the sex is revealed!

Bake a cake and color the batter pink or blue. Your guests won’t know the gender until the cake is cut.

Fill a big box with inflated balloons and, when the lid is removed, pink or blue balloons float out.

Let Lanser’s The Natural Way host this party for you. Moms and Dads can be surprised, too. Don’t let the ultrasound tech tell you the gender. Seal it in an envelope and drop it off with us. That way, you don’t have to reveal the secret ahead of time to anyone but us!

Don’t forget: Lanser’s The Natural Way hosts baby showers, too!

Are

Cloth Diapers Worth the Hassle?

Generation Y’s new parents have been labeled the generation that wants to change the world. One way to save the environment is with reusable diapers. The average cost to diaper a child for two years is $1,600. Most cloth diapers can be used for at least 2 children. It is estimated to take about 250-500 years for a disposable diaper to decompose. The manufacture and use of disposable diapers amounts to 2.3 times more water wasted than cloth. 27.4 billion disposable diapers are consumed every year in the U.S. Our cloth diapers are convenient and affordable. Come in and take one of our diapering classes and experience firsthand how easy and affordable they are. First Saturday of the month at 11 AM. Please RSVP at 574.807.8797.

How

to Select Décor for a Baby’s Room: First, you need an inspiration, such as a color or pattern. Bedding is a great way to begin; it becomes a backdrop for you to build upon. A crib bedding set can stay with a convertible crib/toddler bed for up to 5 years. Stay away from characters that your child will outgrow quickly. Then, extend that inspiration to pick the accessories that give personality to the room. A bold piece of artwork or rug will stand the test of time. You want something they can grow into, not out of. Don’t forget the lamp that can bring flavor, fun and functionality.

Pregnancy Issue: Some women are prone to stretch marks. If your mom got them, more than likely, you will too. Tummy Honey Butter is ideal for preventing stretch marks during pregnancy. It has a thick, oil-based formula that penetrates deep into the skin layers, maintaining skin moisture and elasticity for several hours. It is ideal for treatment in the early stages, when they are still red or purple and most readily respond to treatment. Treat three times a day for best outcome.

Always In stock along with lots of items to make pregnancy easier.
