Momcozy, the global one-stop mother and baby brand, today announced that its YN21 nursing bra and baby carrier were named as winners in Good Housekeeping's 2024 Parenting Awards.

In search of the best gear and services for babies, kids and caregivers, the experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute put hundreds of items through the wringer in their Labs and with the help of over 200 parent testers. Analysts evaluated the products' performance and durability in the GH Institute Labs, while parents weighed in on aspects such as ease of use, appearance, comfort and more. Winners were selected based on attributes like quality, innovation, convenience, safety and value.

Good Housekeeping named the YN21 Ultra Soft & Omni Maternity Nursing Bra the winner in the Postpartum & Nursing category, which is designed with ultimate comfort in mind for new mothers. Featuring a seamless design that stays smooth under clothing and built-in padding without an underwire; this bra combines functionality with discreet elegance available in sizes S through 3XL across various neutral colors. Testers praised its smooth, comfortable fabric, seamless appearance under clothing (even white T-shirts), and adjustable padding. One tester noted, "It was really soft! Despite lacking an underwire, it provided great support."

Momcozy's baby carrier was selected as a winner in the Wearable category for setting a new standard for affordability without compromising on support or usability. Suitable from newborn to toddler stages and crafted from 100% cotton with an ergonomic design; it is both cozy and lightweight. Its unique X-shaped back design helps distribute weight evenly making it comfortable for long durations. Testers appreciated the ease of putting it on and found it both lightweight and compact, making it ideal for outings.

"I've had a busy summer this year. Between playing with the national team and balancing all the excitement in my personal life at home, I need an antiperspirant with sweat and odor protection that holds up all day long," said Antetokounmpo, the 7x All-Star and World Champion. "That's why I was so excited to take my partnership with Degree to the next level and work with them on the package design for this deodorant. It lasts through warmups, the game, post-game press conferences, and then chasing my kids around when I get home. Degree lets me give all I've got, on and off the court. If you want to smell great and play great with no distractions, this deodorant is the way to go."

Degree and Giannis are launching the ultimate fan experience in celebration of Degree Greek Freak Antiperspirant Deodorant hosting sweepstakes on both Degree's Instagram and Tik Tok, with the grand prize winner receiving a once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet Giannis in NYC.

Give Kids The World Village is partnering with eight of the nation's top theme and amusement parks this summer to stage Coasting for Kids: The Inversion Tour, a fundraising program that enables participants to experience the thrill and excitement of their favorite local attractions while giving back to charity. Proceeds will benefit the Village, an 89-acre, whimsical nonprofit resort in Central Florida that provides children with critical illnesses and their families from around the world with magical week-long wish vacations at no cost.

The event will be hosted at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, TX (June 23); Adventureland in Altoona, IA (July 7); Hersheypark in Hershey, PA (July 13); Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio, TX (July 27); Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, TN (August 3); Holiday World & Splashin' Safari in Santa Claus, IN (August 18); Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township, NJ (August 24); and Kennywood in Pittsburgh, PA (September 1).

Those who donate or raise a minimum of $150 for Give Kids The World will receive a special Coasting for Kids pass, giving them complimentary access and exclusive perks at their park of choice, along with a Coasting for Kids t-shirt. This year's event will feature unique behind-the-scenes experiences at each park that cannot be purchased by the public, including early access to select roller coasters – along with special incentives for participating at multiple parks. Fundraisers who register for two or more parks will automatically be entered into a raffle for the chance to attend the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Expo 2024 in Orlando in November, attended by thousands of amusement industry members from more than 100 countries worldwide.

"We are grateful for the support of these amazing theme parks," said Give Kids The World President & CEO Pamela Landwirth. "Together with Coasting for Kids participants and our generous sponsors, their efforts will help us create priceless experiences, cherished memories and enduring hope for children and families who need it most."

More than 30,000 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with a critical illness each year, and half of those eligible for a wish choose to visit Central Florida and its theme parks. Give Kids The World Village is the nonprofit that fulfills all of these wishes – providing every wish family with an all-inclusive dream vacation that includes transportation; accommodations; all meals and snacks; nightly entertainment; donated theme park tickets; daily gifts; and nonstop fun at the Village, featuring an array of accessible rides and attractions. Since 1986, Give Kids The World has welcomed nearly 200,000 families from all 50 states and 77 countries.

Stonyfield Organic Drops a SWEET THREADS Back-to-School Apparel Collection

Stonyfield Organic Drops a SWEET THREADS Back-to-School Apparel Collection Made of... Sugarcane as they Celebrate First-Ever Kid's Zero Grams of Sugar Added Dairy Yogurt Pouch Offered in the Industry.

Stonyfield Organic, the country's leading organic yogurt maker, is launching Stonyfield Kids ZEROg Sugar Added Pouches just in time for back-to-school season. With the launch of their new Kids ZEROg Sugar Added Pouches, the only Kids' dairy yogurt pouch with zero grams of added sugar on the market, Stonyfield is releasing Sweet Threads, a limited-edition clothing collection made from sugarcane textile to emphasize that while your kid's back-to-school wardrobe may be made of sugarcane, your kids' lunch shouldn't be.

Stonyfield's Sweet Threads collection features four thoughtfully designed pieces for parents and kids made of 100% sugarcane textiles. The collection includes three kid's short sleeve tee shirts printed with colorful graphic designs and playful text, and an adult long sleeve tee shirt perfect to wear to school drop off. All pieces are created using sugarcane textile which is derived from sugarcane plants.

The limited-edition clothing collection is made of 100% polylactic acid (PLA), a plant-based bioplastic that can be made from renewable materials like sugarcane plants. The production process involves extracting cellulose from sugarcane stalks, which is then spun into fibers and woven into fabric, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional polyester.

Stonyfield's brand-new Kids' ZEROg Added Sugar Yogurt Pouches are a convenient, affordable, and nutritious option this back-to-school season. Perfect for on-the-go breakfasts, lunch boxes, or after-school snacks, parents can feel confident they are providing kids with a nutritious, organic yogurt without sacrificing taste, so even the pickiest of eaters will enjoy. The organic ZEROg Added Sugar Yogurt Pouches come in delicious flavors like Blueberry Apple Carrot and Banilla (Banana and Vanilla) and are available now at select grocery stores nationwide for $1.99 (single serve) and $6.99 (4-count pack).

"When August rolls around, you can expect to find Stonyfield pouches in kids' lunchboxes but this year, and we want to be an even bigger part of your back-to-school routines," said Elizabeth Conover, Stonyfield Brand Director. "With the launch of Sweet Threads, Stonyfield is calling attention to the importance of our nutritious, ZEROg Added Sugar offering in a fun, interactive way that both parents and kids can enjoy. Parents shouldn't have to worry about how much sugar is in their kid's yogurt. So, we put sugarcane in their clothes instead as a fun way to remind parents about our new zero grams of sugar added offering."

About Stonyfield Organic

As the country's leading organic yogurt maker, Stonyfield believes that taking care of organic farmers, cows, and their life's work will produce healthy food, healthy businesses, and a healthy planet. Stonyfield, a Certified B-Corp, is also making a difference by helping to protect and preserve the next generation of farmers and families through programs like its Direct Milk Supply and Wolfe's Neck Organic Training Program as well as #PlayFree, a nationwide, multi-year initiative to help keep families free from toxic persistent pesticides in outdoor spaces across the country.
