Baby Potential is a line of clothing available at Target and babypotential.com. They believe that our children can be anything they want to be when they grow up and they want us, as parents, to showcase this!

Here are some tips from Baby Potential on how to bring out the most in your children:

Show – Children, even the very young, are incredibly perceptive. In order for little ones to feel comfortable in their own skills and social abilities, it is important to set a good example as a parent.  In social settings, be sure to reach out to others, speak positively about yourself and watch your child follow suit to be generous, polite and feel self-assured around others.

Listen – Feeling respected is essential for every person whether young or old to feel confident in themselves.  In order to encourage who they are and what they think matters, listen up!  When babies start to babble, show that you are listening by not interrupting and communicating back to watch their self-worth blossom.

Encourage – Rather than comparing your child to others, encourage the skills that make your child special.  While a father may want his son to pick up the basketball over the cooking set, encourage your child's inherent interests.  This will not only boost your child's confidence but make him or her feel unique.  You can even provide a custom onesie or t-shirt that says "Chef" from Baby Potential.  This is one of a choice of 12 silk-screened career patches such as Lawyer, Rocket Scientist, Artist, among other career options.  The onesies and t-shirts are practical, gender-neutral and coordinate with pants, skorts, bibs and burp cloths.  Most importantly they provide positive messaging, underscoring the importance of education, and give back to the community – ten percent of sales are donated to community outreach and educational programs.   Encouragement and using such positive messages will make your child even more secure in their own skin.

Provide – Offer several opportunities for your child to test their capabilities and gain a sense of success.  Everything from signing up for skill-building classes to simply allowing the little one to figure out how to open the cap of a bottle rather than pulling it off shows them what they are capable of.

Do you dream that someday your little one will grow up to be a scientist, teacher, artist, lawyer or chef? Baby Potential has the most wonderful onesies and toddler shirts with a variety of future professions. Each shirt or onesie has the profession displayed with a wonderful illustration on a patch along with the profession being embroidered beneath it. Around the collar of each is a series of stars. I love this added touch.

I was sent the rocket scientist shirt in 3T with short sleeves to review. The design and look of the shirt is wonderful. Baby Potential also sent me an infant onesie in size small with the word scientist on it. The shirt made of a thinner fabric than the onesie, but not that thin that I wouldn't feel comfortable having JDaniel wear it. The star detail on the toddler shirt is very neatly done. I can barely see the threads from the inside of the color. The infant onesie shows more detail inside. It isn't bad and can't be seen from the outside of the shirt. The patch illustration is such fun.

The Baby Potential website states the following about their shirts:

• 100% fine cotton, combed for softness and comfort
• 3-button style closure, with premium snaps
• quality silk screened patch designed for repeated washings
• silk screened itch-free tag for comfort
• form-fitting fitted shoulder
• double-needle stitch detail reinforces the seams
• not intended for sleepwear

I really like Baby Potentials products. Want to know what else I like? Baby Potential donates part of their proceeds to their local Family Services Assocation. Each shirt is $15. That seems to be very fair considering what similar shirts are selling for.

Would you like to win the scientist onesie in size small ( 3-6 months)?

What does your baby want to be when she grows up? Well, Baby Potential knows that the sky's the limit when it comes to you child's future. That's why they've created an adorable line of career inspired clothing for infants.

Company Description

Baby Potential was born from the belief that with love, education and community support, all babies have the potential to grow into productive adults and achieve career success – regardless of gender, race or socio-economic status. The Baby Potential product line provides a means for spreading that message, while at the same time giving parents and gift-givers a unique option for baby apparel.

Our Review

Of course, I have no idea what Kaila will want to be when she grows up but I chose the Chef onesie because I just love the idea of someone else cooking for a change.

When we first opened the package, the first thing I noticed was how thick and soft this onesie is. I usually buy our onesies in packs and find that they're a little on the thinner side which doesn't hold up well through many washings. This 100% cotton outfit is made very well with reinforced seams and edges. I also liked that the career design is printed on a patch rather than the garment. To me, this gives the outfit a little more class and style.

However, my favorite part is the handsewn neckline made by Baby Potential's own sewing circle. It means so much more to know that an actual live person sat down and took the time to add a personal touch – kind of like having something made for the baby by Grandma, you know?

And if you already have your baby's life planned out and would like to request a specific occupation outfit, Baby Potential takes custom orders, too! Hey, maybe I can get a flight attendant one made for the girls? This post was written for Baby Potential who provided the complimentary product in exchange for my honest review.

About the Author

Kailani is the owner and founder of An Island Life. You'll find her sharing her daily life as a mother to 3 wonderful daughters, working as a flight attendant, and living a blessed life in Hawaii.

We were given onesies for our little ones to try. I received the "Lawyer" and "Doctor" onesies. They are a cute concept, but the onesies don't seem to match the size or otherwise my son is just super tall (which he is tall, but still). We received size 6-12 months and we are struggling to button him in there and he's only 4 months. So, I suggest to buy a larger size than you would expect. Otherwise, the onesies are cute and I hope my future Doctor appreciates it later. ;)

The latest hot item in infant fashion is the Baby Potential line of onesies. Each design features a graphic promoting the baby's potential future career, from teacher to lawyer to our favorite, radiologist. Still, we wonder if the shirts might not be putting a little too much pressure on the little ones. What do you think? Would you get one of these togs for your tot? What's your dream career for your grandbaby?

We all have aspirations for our kids. Who doesn't dream of their child becoming a renowned brain surgeon, or finding the cure to cancer? Heck, some of you may hope that your child takes over the family business. We all have hopes and dreams for our little ones.

Wouldn't you love to share your dreams with the world? Now you can with shirts from Baby Potential. With designs promoting careers in science, education, medicine and even law and farming, you are sure to find something that appeals to you. If you can't, you can order a specialty shirt with the career of your choice (I really like this one – "Recycler")

With the specialty shirts you can also receive hand embroidery around the collar by the women of Sew Circle. What is Sew Circle? Baby Potential has established a partnership with Family Services Association (FSA) of San Antonio to create a "Sew Circle", which will be responsible for producing Baby Potential's specialty line. San Antonio women receiving services from FSA will have an opportunity to participate in the Sew Circle allowing them an opportunity to earn additional income from the comfort of their home. Sew Circle associates will sew each patch and embroider a career name onto the onesies and t-shirts by hand. In addition, a percentage of the proceeds from the specialty line will be given back to various community outreach and educational programs in San Antonio funded through FSA.

Parents dream that their children will grow up to be well-educated and successful. In order to promote that aspiration from early on, two San Antonio mothers, Dacia Napier, M.D. and Allison Zeller, decided to start Baby Potential, a line of onesies and t-shirts embroidered with a choice of 12 silk-screened career patches such as Artist, Lawyer, and Teacher among other careers to communicate to the world the inherent potential baby possesses. The unique line with a promise for brighter horizons for children everywhere launches nationally this spring. that each and every

The company started when Napier was inspired by her aunt's hand-embroidered onesies she made for new babies in their family. When she asked if she'd be willing to sell them and her aunt declined, she decided to start the business herself. Napier wasn't only motivated by her aunt's needlework, but was also influenced by the community around her. After learning that her city of San Antonio had one of the highest rates of child abuse and neglect reports in the state and the country, she knew she had to do something. She determined that the apparel line would encourage change through social marketing and community outreach.

I love a good pun as much as the next mom, but I'm seriously considering trading in all my daughter's witty tees for these Baby Potential tees instead. As much I like I people to smile when they see her–or read what's on her shirt–I'd rather inspire my daughter to become a teacher, an artist or the president.

In case you're unfamiliar–I was up until yesterday–Baby Potential is an awesome clothing line for babies and toddlers. Instead of printing witty or funny sayings on their shirts, Baby Potential prints words like "Philanthropist," "Radiologist" and "Chef" on their tees and onesies instead. It's a really simple way to encourage your child to follow his/her dreams. Amazing, right?

And when you support Baby Potential, you're also supporting outreach and educational programs. The company donates a portion of their profits to the Family Services Association of San Antonio.

You can shop the full collection at baby-potential.com/store or check out the brand's offerings available at Target.com. What will your child be?

We all have trouble deciding whether our baby should be an artist, a banker, or maybe a rocket scientist - and so do they! In fact, when my daughter was younger, I was sure she'd want to grow up to be an artist, but now she seems to change her mind everyday. The people at Baby Potential know that our little ones can grow up to be anything they can dream up, which is why they created a line of clothing based on the belief that with love, education, and community support, all babies have the potential to make their dreams come true.

Dacia Napier and Allison Zeller designed a line of short-sleeve and long-sleeve oneies and t-shirts for babies with quality silk-screened patches on the front representing different career choices ranging from a computer scientist to a philanthropist. Each 100% cotton piece is as soft as it is cute, while the 3-button style closure and form-fitted shoulders keep these outfits casual and comfortable.

Sure you want your child to grow up to be just who they want to be...but that doesn't mean you can't have a little fun trying to figure it out before they do. Baby Potential onesies were created with the belief that with love, education and community support, all babies have the potential to achieve career success - regardless of gender, race or socio-economic status. And what's not to like about that message?

Parents want their little ones to grow up to be happy and successful in life, and a new line of apparel wants to give babies extra encouragement with clothing patches that declare future professions such as doctor, scientist or lawyer.

Moms Allison Zeller and Dr. Dacia Napier started Baby Potential last year as a way to instill kids with optimism at an early age — and to give parents a little fun in dressing up their children.

"There are so much negative stories out there, and we wanted something to counteract it," Zeller said. "It's OK to dream what your kids can be. With love, education and community support, we can all be rocket scientists or biologists."

It should be something all parents say often to their children: You can be anything you want when you grow up.

A couple of local entrepreneurs created a line of clothing to reinforce that message.

It's called Baby Potential, and it consists of T-shirts and onesies (infant bodysuits) that spotlight different career patches.

For example, the patch for a scientist consists of three cartoon atoms, the patch for a philanthropist features two globes with the continents shaped like hearts. In other words, they would work for boys or girls.

The idea for this project came from two working moms, radiologist Dacia Napier and volunteer and philanthropist Allison Zeller. They want to spread the message that every child has tremendous potential.

Next weekend, they're launching the line with a special sale at Sugarplum Dreams, a baby clothes boutique in Alamo Heights, with portions of the sales going to children's charities. Also, the company is working with Family Service Association on some projects.

Local entreprenuers launch career-oriented infant apparel line clothing now available at sugarplum dreams and online.
Local kids invited to enter what's your potential? create-a-patch contest.

(San Antonio, TX) Local entrepreneurs and mothers Dacia Napier, M.D. and Allison Zeller are proud to announce "the birth" of their career-oriented infant and toddler apparel line Baby Potential with the retail launch of their garments that feature colorful and graphic, gender-neutral career patches.

The product line was inspired as a way to counter bad news about abused and neglected children by affecting change through social marketing and community outreach. "Baby Potential was born from the belief that with love, education and community support, all babies have the potential to grow into productive adults and achieve career success - regardless of gender, race or socio economic status," says Napier. "The idea is to see the career patch on an infant's onesie or a toddler's t-shirt and equate the message with that child's potential and future."

The Baby Potential product line provides a means for spreading that message, while at the same time giving parents and gift-givers a unique option for baby apparel.

"Baby Potential apparel communicates to the world the inherent potential that each and every baby possesses," adds Zeller.

Baby Potential offers 12 featured career patches including: artist, biologist, chef, doctor, lawyer, philanthropist, radiologist, rancher, rocket scientist, scientist, teacher, and veterinarian.

Also, parents and gift-givers can customize career names on garments (online only), and when they do, Baby Potential will donate a portion of profits to support various community outreach and educational programs funded through Family Services Association (FSA) of San Antonio.

Moreover, through a partnership with FSA, Baby Potential has established a Sew Circle employing women receiving services from FSA. The women in the Sew Circle will embroider career names and sew patches by hand onto custom garments.

The Baby Potential retail product launch begins Friday, March 28, and runs through Saturday, March 29, 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Sugarplum Dreams boutique located at 19 Brees in Alamo Heights. A portion of all sales benefit children's charities in San Antonio and shoppers will enjoy a 10% discount on all purchases. Baby Potential apparel is also available online at www.baby-potential.com.

As part of the launch celebration, kids are invited to enter the What's Your Potential? Create-A-Patch Contest. Kids will create an original colorful and graphic career patch during the Create-A-Patch session on Saturday from 12 to 3 p.m. Contestants enter their design for a chance to win a savings bond and have their design selected for inclusion in the Baby Potential featured apparel line.

Patch designs will be displayed at www.baby-potential.com and the public is invited to cast their vote online for their favorite patch during the month of April. The contest winner will receive a $1,500 savings bond, and second and third prize winners will receive a $1,000 and $500 savings bond, respectively, courtesy of Jefferson Bank. Winners will be announced in May.

"As a mother of two and an employee and officer of Jefferson Bank, I'm proud that our family-owned, community bank shares Baby Potential's philosophy to nurture, develop and safeguard San Antonio's at-risk children," says Betsy Baker, Vice President of Marketing and Special Projects at Jefferson Bank. "We all have a responsibility to ensure that each and every child has the opportunity to realize his/her full potential. For that reason and so many more, Jefferson Bank is proud to be a part of this program"
