10 Stylish and Functional Accessories for Mom and Baby’s Day Out
30th Mar 2015
Spring is the perfect time to be out and about with baby in tow, especially after a long and harsh winter. Breathing some fresh air and taking in all the sights of the spring will be good for both baby and mom. If baby is not used to being outdoors for a long period of time, you can make the adjustment easier by bringing along some of baby’s favorite items. It also doesn’t hurt to have some stylish mommy accessories on hand for a boost of confidence! Here are my favorite accessories for mom and baby’s day out.

Written by Alicia Overby - Founder & President of Baby Elephant Ears
Alicia is wife, mother, and creator of Baby Elephant Ears. Baby Elephant Ears was created out of parental concern, not financial desire. In 2005, when their second child was an infant, he cried all the time and just couldn't seem to get comfortable.
After seeking advice and suggestion from the medical community and alternative medicine, they eventually ended up in the chiropractors office where their baby was successfully treated for asubluxation, discomfort most likely the result of the strain during labor, which was now being exacerbated by the normal lack of infant neck strength. Only proper neck, head, and back alignment would offer him relief. When they couldn't find a product to give their baby the necessary support, Alicia took matters into her own hands and crafted her own infant support pillow. The first Baby Elephant Ears was born!
