- Radius : Mostly toothbrushes, for kids and adults. They have different tooth brush type meant for right and left handers. For kids, they have a range for 3+ years and another for 6+ years. There is also a travel toothbrush.
- Natracare: Specialises in Pads, Tampons and Panty Liners. They also have wipes for babies and adults, make-up removal wipes and even nursing pads. Their best selling item is the Natracare, Organic & Natural Panty Liners, Curved, 30 Liners at USD2.82, quite affordable for an organic product.
- Earth Mama Angel Baby: I have personally used this brand of products when I was pregnant. They have shampoo & body wash, tea bags, butter, baby oil ,etc.
My favourite would be the Earth Mama Angel Baby, Earth Mama Body Butter. It is a lotion for itchy and stretching skin. Like what is indicated on the description on the webpage, it indeed moisturises and encourages elasticity for expectant bellies. I applied almost everyday during my first to second trimester and on alternate days on my last trimester. Till today, after my baby is born, I have no stretch marks on my belly. :)
They also have another product for stretch marks, which is the Natural Stretch oil. Personally, I prefer the lotion to this oil as the lotion gives out a more refreshing fragrance and is not as oily.
If you are unsure of which to choose and is a newly expectant mother, you can try the Earth Mama Angel Baby, A little Something for Mama-To-Be, 5 piece kit which I purchased. In the kit, you can find the Hand to Toe Wash, Happy Mama Spray, Body Butter, Stretch Oil and Organic Morning Wellness Tea. The spray is pretty good for morning sickness.
- Nature's Baby Organics: Sells range of body wash products as well as shampoos and conditioners for children. I have tried their shampoo and I find it too sticky and does not clean my hair well.
Looks like the brands this week is mainly for women and child. :)

Munchkin, Microwave Sterilizer Bags is a bag for sterilizing baby bottles, breast pump parts, nipples and pacifiers. I bought it as I need a convenient way to sterilise my breast pump parts outside home, specifically in my office and in hotels. What you will need is a microwave and water. The size of a bag is 8" x 11" and it can hold up to 2 bottles of any standard size. For me, it can comfortably fit two breast pump shields and 2 bottles. You can see it in the photo below, after putting 2 bottles and 1 breast shield (spectra), there is still room for another.
One bag can be used up to 20 times. It only takes 1.5 minutes to sterilise in the microwave. Very convenient to use it for working moms and for mothers that need to travel frequently. One good feature is the Cool-Touch grip which is for you to hold when removing the hot bag from the microwave. Personally, I think it is a must have when you are a breastfeeding mother that needs to be on the go without your baby. It is important to thoroughly clean the bottles and breast pump parts especially for a newborn.
Instructions on using the bag can be found behind the bag and there are 20 boxes for you to tick every time you use it to keep a record. This is good for forgetful moms! One thing to note is that the bag will inflate itself in the microwave, so do not worry if you see this happening. It will not explode as there is a tab opening that allows steam to safety escape and to pour out excess hot water after microwaving.
Personally, I stopped using it after my baby turns 4 months old as I think that her immune system is strong enough to fight off the bacteria (if any). I will clean the bottles and breast shields using hot water before and after pumping.
You can buy the Munchkin, Microwave Sterilizer Bags from iHerb. It costs USD$7.19 for 6 bags. There is a Bundle Offer going on at USD$14.14 if you buy it together with Mild By Nature, For Baby, Tear-Free Shampoo & Body Wash.

Mild By Nature, For Baby, Tear-Free Shampoo & Body Wash contains beneficial oils of Evening Primrose, Borage Seed and Flax Seed, which are all certified organic. Made in USA. As described in the product overview in iHerb, it is indeed mild and suitable for newborns. It has a pleasant gentle scent. My baby has been using it since she was born 5 months ago. She is free from rashes or any skin problems in babies. We only use it on alternate days on warm weather or when she's sticky from sweating, while we do not use any body wash or shampoo on the other days.
It does not clean very well on the hair. But I guess the reason is because the shampoo is mild. Baby skin is soft after using it as a body wash. On the product, you can see that there is a warning on not getting it into the eyes. But on the product's name, it is described as Tear-free. So, I will recommend it using as a body wash more than a shampoo.
We applied directly on baby's body (amount: about the size of a coin on the palm) without using any wash cloth or sponge. After applying, we bathe baby in warm water for 3-5 minutes before wiping her dry with a warm cloth. I bought it when it was on a testing period from iHerb, so I had the small bottle to try first. Subsequently, I bought the larger 380ml bottle as I find it good for baby and me. Bottle is easy to open with just a click and the liquid does not get stuck in the cap like some other organic products.
You can view other buyer's reviews (up to 435!) on the iHerb page of Mild By Nature, For Baby, Tear-Free Shampoo & Body Wash. Currently it has a rating of 4.5/5 stars in iHerb.
