Dr. Geary Recommends: Summer Edition!

July 29, 2008

I rarely shop- as a pediatrician and mother of three I tend to shop on-line, late at night. So I am always searching and researching for the very best products and then I stick with them- especially when it comes to my children. Since it is half way through the summer (oh no) I thought I would update my “It List”- nothing too trendy, just high quality, eco-responsible, and most importantly, healthy and safe items:

1. Barlean’s Organic Oils: Barlean’s has just come out with the “Omega swirl”, an omega-3 flax oil supplement which contains the highest quality omega-3 fatty acids but is also, miraculously, something your child will actually take! Strawberry-banana or Lemon-Zest flavors with a consistency like a smoothie and an impressive 750 mg of EPA/DHA per serving, the Omega Swirl will help your child get the recommended amount of omega-3 fatty acids, especially if your child doesn’t like fish. Check out: www.barleans.com

2. Sage Baby NYC: Two brilliant moms with business savvy who pick the best of organic. I bought their recommended air-purifier when my baby starting wheezing and it has made a huge difference. Check out: www.sagebabynyc.com

3. Florastor: I have recommended Florastor Kids, a probiotic, for many of my patients, and for good reason. They come in convenient powder packets that can be carried around and mixed in juice, applesauce, ice cream. Florastor restores normal bowel function, strengthens intestinal immunity, maintains intestinal health and prevents diarrhea. It contains “healthy” bacteria to promote a healthy digestive system, leading to better nutrient absorption and less stomach discomforts. Florastor can be taken daily or when your child has stomach discomfort. Check out: www.florastor.com

4. a b sea baby: My youngest daughter loves their beautiful blue yoga-pants-style pants, and I would recommend this brand for any mother interested in their baby’s comfort and an easy wash. The baby-soft blend of 70% natural silk, 30% organic cotton that is 100% washable and very chic! It is naturally wrinkle-resistant, hypoallergenic, and all weather. These adorable baby clothes are all natural and organic. Check out: www.abseababy.com

5. Adiri Natural Nurser: These chic bottles have no polycarbonates, BPA, latex or phthalates, and the breast-like nipple makes for an easy transition from breast to bottle feeding. Winner of the Medical Design Excellence Award for 2008, these bottles are green, practical and adorable. Check out: www.Adiri.com

I hope you try some of these great products—your child will thank you.
