Earth Mama Angel Baby Review and Giveaway!

Giveaway Ended!
The kind folks at Earth Mama Angel Baby were awesome enough to send over a few products for me to try.  I ought to be ashamed of myself for taking so long to review them!!  Maybe they should consider selling something to improve one's time management skills while pregnant and tired! ;)

So, on to the review...I am newly in love with this company.  There are very few things that I would count as pregnancy must haves, but their teas definitely rank that high in my book.  If only I had known about these when I was pregnant with Levi.

My package-o-goodies got here towards the later end of morning sickness, and I can promise you that next time I will be ordering the morning wellness tea the very day that plus sign appears.

I can't say enough good about this stuff.  While I was pregnant with Levi I tried some all natural remedies.  Ha!  They either didn't do a thing or made me gag...not good while pregnant!  So, going into this I was a tad skeptical.  But, y'all this tea works.  On my worst days, it alleviated the nausea making it much more tolerable, and on better days, it actually got rid of it entirely.

This pregnancy is very different from my last.  Heartburn didn't set in while I was pregnant with Levi until the final stretch, so I was pretty stunned when I started getting heartburn in my first trimester with this little one.  Luckily, Earth Mama Angel Baby's Heartburn Tea came to my rescue.


Until now, pregnancy induced heartburn seemed rather incurable, but with a cup of this tea my heartburn was generally gone within a few minutes.  So relieving.  Thankfully, heartburn made its exit with morning sickness, but I fully anticipate its return in those final weeks (maybe even months).  I will soon be restocking my heartburn tea supply!

Not only do these teas actually work, but they are also organic, toxin-free, and safe for mama and baby.  If you're like me, putting any "extras" into your body probably gives you the heebee jeebees, so you can rest easier knowing that these products don't come with all of the "extras" that are in many other maternity and post maternity products.

Earth Mama Angel Baby also sent me a set of their Booby Tubes for easing the initial pain of breastfeeding.
Of course, I tried them out just for y'all.  :)  These are intended to be used warm or cold, depending on your needs, to help reduce the swelling and pain of engorgement.  Their shape is perfect for engorged breasts.  The design is great because the product doesn't make contact with the nipple, which is very important in those first oh so sensitive days/weeks.

The Booby Tubes are constructed of organic cotton and filled with all natural flax seed.  If you've never used heating/cooling pads filled with flax seed instead of the typical gel, you should be forewarned that there is one major difference.  Although, the heat/cold is evenly distributed with either option, the flax seed pads will not hold heat/cold for the length of time that gel filled alternatives will.  However, for those of you seeking to live greener and healthier lives, flax seed filled pads like the booby tubes are great options.  I would highly suggest having more than one set on hand, though, so you won't have to wait while your tubes chill in the freezer.

Earth Mama Angel Baby makes more than just products for expectant and new mamas.  They have an entire line of products for babies.  And, for those of you who aren't currently in the family way, you could always try out their monthly comfort tea.  If you do, I'd like to know what you think.

  5. I'm glad you found something that works! And, I totally agree about the early onset heartburn with the second one. Weird. I guess those muscles just relax a bit more? Anyway, I have a friend who is newly pregnant and that morning sickness tea would be very welcome to her, I'm sure. Great giveaway!

  6. Heartburn is aweful! I'm in my 3rd trimester and it's pretty bad. Blech!
    I wish I had known about the morning wellness tea during my first trimester.
    Thanks for sharing the info ;)
    Hope you and baby are doing well.
    Many Blessings,
    Molly

  11. I am curious about that Morning Wellness Tea. I was crazy-sick with my last two pregnancies and am guessing that pregnancy #3 will be the same (I kind of hope not though).

  18. I am a big tea drinker and drank Traditional Medicinals pregnancy tea during my pregnancy and mothers milk after I had Audrey for like the first 6 months after she was born.

    I would love to try Angel Mama's teas or lotions, the lip balm sounds yummy too!

  21. I think I'd most like the milkmaid tea, or the natural stretch oil. I rubbed my belly with olive oil for my first pregnancy (whew!), and moved to almond oil for the second (much better, smell-wise). But I'd love something more specially made for this sort of thing!

  22. Being in my third trimester I'd love the "Organic HeartBurn Tea". I get heartburn so often these days, and nothing really alleviates it... so yes, the tea would be wonderful! I'd also like the Natural Nipple Butter to help soothe during those early weeks of nursing, and the Angel Baby Lotion would be so nice to massage baby with!
