We all want our kids to be smart and eat healthy. Unfortunately though we don’t always have time to eat right. Way too often our family is inhaling dinner in the car on the way to a soccer game.

Yoplait® is giving away coupons for two free 6-packs of their Yoplait® Kids Yogurt Drink to five Momsational readers!

When you have a new baby you take them to the doctor all the time for well-baby checkups, but how often are your child’s eyes examined thoroughly? Due to lack of insurance coverage, the answer typically is “hardly ever.” Even with a fantastic pediatrician, there are some eye problems which can only be diagnosed by an ophthalmologist, but these visits are rarely recommended to parents of young children.

Cooing, sitting up and crawling are signs that your baby is growing. Your baby’s vision has stages of development too, but usually there are no signs to mark the progress.

The American Optometric Association encourages parents to include a trip to the optometrist in the list of well-baby check-ups. Assessments at six to twelve months of age can determine healthy development of vision. Early detection of eye conditions is the best way to ensure your child has healthy vision for successful development—now and in the future.

InfantSEE is a public health program designed to ensure that eye and vision care becomes an integral part of infant wellness care to improve a child’s quality of life. Under this program our member optometrists will provide a comprehensive infant eye assessment within the first year of life as a no cost public health service.

Free eye assessments are available across the United States, and all you have to do is search on their web site to find a doctor near you. This is an amazing program that is saving vision and lives. Please pass it along.

Ultreo takes power brushing where it’s never gone before. Invented at the University of Washington in association with former scientists, engineers and executives of Optiva Corporation (original developers of the Sonicare toothbrush), Ultreo is the first power toothbrush to combine patented ultrasound waveguide technology with precisely tuned sonic bristle action.

Ultreo’s bristles create microbubbles that are powerfully activated by nearly 4 million cycles of ultrasound energy per brushing channeled by a proprietary ultrasound waveguide. The result is an incredible, long-lasting feeling of clean.

Independently tested for both safety and effectiveness, Ultreo has been proven to remove hard-to-reach plaque, improve gum health and reduce stains for naturally whiter teeth. In a recent study, 8 out of 10 people who used Ultreo for 30 days said they would switch to Ultreo from their current power toothbrush. And of those who expressed a preference, 8 out of 10 thought the overall cleaning provided by Ultreo was better compared to the power toothbrush they normally use.

Where to buy

You can get the Ultreo at Amazon for $160 with free shipping.

Whether they’re drawing you a sweet picture as an impromptu present, or leaving a less desirable “present” on your brand new carpet, they’re your precious children and pets, and we know how much you love them.

But for all the meals you’ve prepared for your pooch and all the laundry you’ve done to make sure the kids aren’t running naked around the playground like a co-ed on spring break, you deserve some time for yourself.

At Sittercity, our mission is to connect parents with caregivers in their area to give each side what they want - some time off for adults-only activities and access to a multitude of child and pet care jobs.

With over 150,000 caregivers across the country, Sittercity is the nation’s largest and most easily accessible database for babysitters, nannies and pet sitters.

Sittercity provides parents and sitters with a central location to find each other quickly, safely and easily. Both parents and sitters create detailed online profiles and can search the site for matches using more than 40 search criteria.

Parents can also post unlimited jobs for sitters, obtain references from sitter profiles and follow our four-step screening process to hire a quality caregiver. Both sitters and parents may request background checks, read and post reviews for each other, and use tools like our interactive Rate Calculator to determine fair pay and our Interactive Babysitter Cheat Sheet to prepare their babysitter.

Have you ever wished you had some way of protecting your child from wetness and germs in public restrooms? There is now a solution for you. That solution is the revolutionary Gotta Go Mitts, disposable waterproof mittens for toddlers and kids up to age 7. They are practical, easy to use, affordable, and a must have kid travel accessory especially when potty training.

Gotta Go Mitts reduce the anxiety parents have when their children say they “Gotta Go” when away from home!

Gotta Go Mitts are the best product on the market for protecting your child’s hands from wetness and germs on unsanitary public toilets when your child has to hold on for balance, lift the seat, touch the flush lever, or like most toddlers, examine the bathroom floor and anything else interesting!

Gotta Go Mitts are made from a 100% polyethylene material and are completely waterproof. The mitts are very thin, not bulky, for a comfortable fit which allows the child to feel what they are touching. Due to the wide opening, design and material, the Gotta Go Mitts slip on hands very easily and fit a wide range of hand sizes up to age 7.
