Tabletop Water Fountains & Babies

I am a proud mom of three boys, so when we found out my niece was having a little girl, I was beyond thrilled.

I want to share with you, my personal story about a tabletop water fountain and newborn babies. My niece was four months pregnant with her first child when she came to live with us. She had a normal pregnancy until the seventh month. Little Emma arrived, she was two months early with extreme heal problems but Emma was a fighter and showed everyone she had the strength, will and determination to win her battle. Emma did have her ups and downs but this delicate little child would eventually teach all of us many valuable lessons about life.

Emma was in ICU for longer than most infants and her interaction with normal toys and things were very restricted. In the beginning she couldn't have any toys or things in her crib and the NIC unit monitored everything, they wouldn't even let us put normal baby items in her crib but they did let us put a cd player on the side so I could play music. Emma's favorite cd was one that played the sounds or flowing and trickling water, I think the sounds were familiar to her, she was very content with listening to the gentle sounds of moving water and it was incredibly soothing to her. Emma was a great baby and with her new cd player playing the natural sounds of a gentle creek, she would instantly calm down, relax and sleep which was the most important part of healing herself. It was as if she were meditating.
It seemed like it took forever... We decorated Emma's nursery in the cutest frog theme, green and yellow walls and frog decor. After 4½ months Emma finally made it home, it was so exciting we cried. Emma was still under strict rules but was now allowed many reactive toys, stuffed animals and fun things to be place with her. Being in the hospital so long, Emma had grown accustom to the sounds and was to have difficulty adjusting, relaxing and sleeping. Knowing Emma's love of the sound of trickling water, I found the ideal tabletop water fountain to add to the room. It was an adorable frog and lily pad tabletop water fountain with four friendly frogs resting on a lilly pad. The frog and lily pad fountain is colorful, the green basin cradles the Lilly pad with a fountain of cool clear streaming water.I knew that not only baby would love the frog and lily pad fountain but mommy too would love the soothing sound of water trickling down the lily pad and help both her and baby to relax. I was right, the frog and lily pad fountain was an ideal solution to our situation the frog and lily pad fountain went so perfect with the frog decor, it made perfect sence. Her tabletop water fountain is completely self contained, so easy to maintain all I had to do is add a little water to the frog and lily pad fountain every now and then. With the tabletop water fountain, both baby and mom sleep like babies.

Emma benefited from her tabletop water fountain in ways most of us only wish we could. I read many articles about the great health benefits of a tabletop water fountain one said, "the tabletop water fountain is a natural air purifier" and since we live in southern California where the air is often extremely dry, dusty and full of pollen the benefits of the tabletop water fountain seemed obvious. Another article claimed "a tabletop water fountain actually draws dust, pollen and even odors out of a room's air by releasing negative ions created by the fountains moving water". A tabletop water fountain refreshes the air and leaves it smelling clean and crisp which is a real plus in a babies room!
Now all of my children have a tabletop water fountain in their rooms each picking out a tabletop water fountain design and style unique to them. I also added a tabletop water fountain in my family room that I have to add water a little more often due to my cats loving to drink from the


fountain
moving water! I am happy to report Emma is 1 year old this month. Almost all her help problems are gone and she still loves her frog and lily pad water fountain, I think she always will.

I'm convinced, the tabletop water fountain benefits our entire family, fountain we now give them as house warming gifts, Christmas, birthday, office gifts and on any other occasion. Every one who receives a tabletop water fountain is so impressed because it seems it's one of those things you always wanted but just haven't bought yet.
I feel proud when I can give a gift that will help in some way unlike alot of gifts. Indoor water fountains are a creative way to enhance your atmosphere and decor at the same time,I think everyone should have a tabletop water fountain or two or for that special occasion a frog and lily pad fountain.designer water fountain fountain
