Sling Safety Warning

Your children's safety and security is our number one priority.

On March 12, 2010, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (USA) issued a general warning regarding suffocation hazards associated with the use of sling carriers for babies. We currently carry only Serena & Lily sling carriers. Serena & Lily is in compliance with all applicable safety regulations for each of its products, including its baby slings. Going forward, Serena & Lily will continue to comply with all applicable standards and regulations, both voluntary and mandatory, as they are developed.

Please review the instructions for use included with the sling you choose to purchase before using your baby sling. Remember, you should always be cautious when using a baby sling for babies younger than four months of age. Your baby's face should be visible to you at all times while in the baby sling, the baby sling's fabric should be kept away from your baby's face at all times, and parents of preemies, twins, babies in fragile health and those with low weight should use extra care and consult their pediatricians about using slings. Please visit the Consumer Product Safety Commission website for further details.

Newly Hatched - Egg by Susan Lazar

We had been looking for a comprehensive collection of "basics" for infants; to cover the full range for baby's layette, from head to toe. We didn't want something you can find at your local department store...it had to be unique; something normally reserved for boutique-type stores.

Already familiar with Egg and it's superior quality, we started there. As it turns out, we didn't have to look any further. Egg baby uses natural fabrics with clean, simple designs - with no bows and ribbons in sight. From baby blankets to one piece rompers, hats and booties, mix and match separates - even sweaters and jackets, Egg offers a huge selection of items within a reasonable price range. When we selected the pieces offered at gingerbreadmonkeys.com, we did so with "gifting" in mind. Not to say you shouldn't indulge and crack open your own Egg ;-).
