Gerber 2nd Foods Organic Baby Food, Banana Mango, 3.5-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 6)

Gerber 2nd Foods Organic Baby Food, Banana Mango, 3.5-Ounce PouchesThis was a decent price and my kids really liked the flavor. I send it to school in their preschool lunch box. I like it because it is more than just applesauce. They like it too. I would suggest to the marketers of Gerber to drop the baby face because for toddlers they are pretty sensitive to NOT being a baby. It works well for both preschoolers and babies. Also would suggest to put more in the pouch. 3.8 or 4 oz is ideal for my tots.

Skip Hop Bento Diaper Bag in Olive

Skip Hop Bento Diaper Bag in OliveIm about to have my third (another boy!) and needed a bigger bag to accomodate everything for a 5, 3, and newborn plus a few things for me. :)

This bag is SO practical, I love it. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I wish is was a little prettier I knew I had to have the cross body strap which is why I still got it.

There are so many helpfull pockets, and the options for organizing and food are more than enough! Highly recommend for moms (and Dad's) of multiple kids.

I am very unhappy about the zippers provided in this bag.I purchased this bag on April 25, 2012 from Amazon.com. By the third month the first zip stopped working and by now none of the zips are working. Its sad that they are using such low quality zips for this bag.

It's hard to find it all in one bag.

This one is pretty great I have the mustard yellow color and love it.

PROsI love the built-in snack area at the bottom, the stroller clips, the size and kind of pockets and places to keep things organized

CONs1. It's heavy 2. The containers that come in the snack bag are almost impossible to open. But plenty of other containers fit in there, so they're easy to replace.

My husband and I were very excited to discover a bag that is neutral in gender, (no polka dots, bows, etc.) has a TON of capacity, came with the snack pack, and had the added bonus of the insulated cup/bottle compartments on the sides. We brought it home and much to our frustration the left cup/bottle compartment zipper blew when we went to zip a normal sized bottle in it. When we picked our son up from daycare the second day, the right zipper had blown also. Great Bag, but get a higher zipper quality, Skip Hop. I was hoping that a $100 bag would last through two children. Now we'll have to look at another bag when the second baby comes around. We may look at Skip Hop again, but only if the quality issues have been addressed.

Want Skip Hop Bento Diaper Bag in Olive Discount?

Let me start by saying that the idea behind this bag is great. I love the mealtime kit that comes in the bottom of the bag. My daughter is only 10 weeks, so I am actually using that space for diapers and wipes. The insulated mealtime kit will hold about 8 NB or size 1 diapers, Butt Paste, and a thingy of disposable dirty diaper baggys. I also stick my Skip Hop wipes case in the bottom zipper compartment. The issue I have with the bag is the built in hard bottom to the inside compartment of the bag ( the piece between the main part of the bag and the bottom zipper compartment where the mealtime kit goes). It sits unevenly when everything is in the bag and makes the inside main compartment lop sided. I end up having to take everything out, straightening this inside piece, and then put everything back in. It doesn't disrupt the functionality of the bag so much as it is just annoying. Also, formula drips stain and show on this color (olive)...so if you are formula feeding, take that into account. There are many compartments to this bag, which does help me stay organized. I do wish that the parent compartment was a bit bigger, as it only will hold my keys, wallet and cell phone. I do feel like the main compartment is a bit hard to see/access when the bag is completely packed though.

Although I like this bag, I probably would not buy it again if given the choice.

Nature's Pillow 24 Pack Gyro Bowl, Green

Nature's Pillow 24 Pack Gyro Bowl, GreenThis bowl was super ineffective I gave my daughter some shredded mozzarella cheese in (she loves the stuff) and only minutes later as she sat on the floor there was a huge mess. This did not keep the food contained at all. I had high hopes for the product especially for in the car, but I wanted to test it in the house first. I would not buy! Oh and my baby is 15 months old. I was actually skeptical of the product just wondering what would happen if it were thrown, but she didn't even get that far!

Purchased for use by my 2 yr old daughter, this is cut down lots on little spills, haven't used it for liquid only for solid snacks that I permit her to carry around the house, she has dropped it and it did as advertised kept all the gold fish inside.

it has quickly become her favorite bowl, wish I had a few more, but only 1 in the package.

awesome!!

Disney 4 Piece Feeding Set by The First Years

The First Years Mickey Mouse 4 Piece Feeding SetWe bought this set for my nephew's birthday (2 jrs old) and after a few weeks the coloured printing of the plate started to peel off and mix with his food. Now you dont need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that my sister in law was not happy with me nor with the present and neither was I. If you dont want your kid feeding on plastic, make sure you dont actually use the set

I bought this bowl a few months ago and just yesterday, I was shocked to see that the plastic sticker at the bottom of the bowl started to peel off and the paint underneath it was coming off. I could easily rub it off with my finger. I always handwash the bowl and the plate, so I don't think the peeling was caused by the hot water from the dishwasher. Now, I have to go search for a better quality one!

Gerber Cereal, 8-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

Gerber Cereal, Rice & Mixed Fruit with NutriProtect, 8-Ounce BoxesI'll admit, I'm somewhat embarrassed to write a review for baby food, since I'm a grown woman with no children... :-)

However, I AM a teacher, and thus tend to get more than my fair share of stomach illnesses during the school year. The past few months, I also needed to take a presciption medication that made me nauseous regularly.

This remains as THE ONLY FOOD that I can hold down when I am ill and recovering from a stomach bug. It is gentle, mild flavored, completely smooth, can be mixed to any consistency (from 'smoothie'-like to paste-like)...and it just stays down. Doctors always say to start back on food with that "BRAT" diet -banana, rice, applesauce, toast -well, this seems to have 3/4 of those in 1 box!

As a bonus, it has excellent nutritional value -gives you some vitamins and such, versus when you only eat plain rice or toast. It gets me back on my feet much sooner...and it takes almost no effort to make it (important to me, since when I'm sick, I don't want to be 'vertical' any longer than I have to!) I usually just mix it with water, which works wonderfully (I stay away from dairy if I'm ill). You can eat it cold or warm. I find it to be kind of soothing when I'm under the weather.

It doesn't spoil, and I always keep some on hand just because you never know when you'll get sick (or at least I don't, what with students sneezing in my face!!) ;-)

Finally, I must admit that I think it's YUMMY! I do wish they still made just the banana rice kind -I wonder why they discontinued that, which I remember having as far back as the 1970s? But this is pretty close.

I'll admit to having a little bowl of it now or then just as comfort food! :-)

I have just started to give my baby solid food and used this cereal as suggested by almost every ped. I love this cereal because it provides nutrition for my baby and my baby loves this one because of the flavor and texture. The only thing I don't like is that the producer does not include spoon inside the box to measure, but you can measure by tbs or teaspoon yourself.

Overall, this oatmeal smells nice, nutritious and dissolves well with other fruit purees (I add fruits to this oatmeal). Easy to prepare:

Pros:

+ smells great when it's fresh, but I remember accidentally buying one that was a month before expiry date. When I opened it up it smelled bland. Buy as fresh as possible!

+ Easy & QUICK to prepare and mix with other fruits

+ better than your basic oatmeal, but i still prefer Happy Bellies oatmeals since they contain DHA

Cons:

Like the other reviewer who gave a 1-star, some did come with a small hole in the box. Each box is wrapped in plastic, once opened some of the oatmeal falls out from the bottom. It's only a minor annoyance for me.

The spout is hard to open so I ended up pouring all of it in an airtight container instead. Again, minor minor things that wouldn't stop me from serving it to my baby

my 8 month old didn't have any problems with this cereal, but my friend's baby had constipation from the iron in the oatmeal. Her baby also had gas. I would suggest feed a little bit to your baby to try it out and see instead of giving him/her a whole bowl at once.

I mixed it with milk or soy milk. The banana flavor tastes so good. The package box is a little cheap, open window should be stronger and easy to open and close.

My 10 month old loves this cereal. He has been eating it for a few months now and like how it tastes. It's a bit sweet for my own taste but I mix it with the oatmeal cereal to offset that a bit. Plus, this one is a more expensive so I save a few $$ as well.

Kidoozie Picture Perfect Picnic

Kidoozie Picture Perfect PicnicMy nephew is 2 and he loves food (both play and real), so I bought this item for him for Christmas. The short version is that he loved it, but I was a little disappointed that the packaging (the paper around it) made it clear this is a set intended for girls. There were only little girls pictured, and I think the background was bright pink I ended up taking an X-acto knife to the cellophane and carefully removing the paper around the sides of the basket, then re-taping it together so it still looked like a new set. I don't know why there is this impulse to assign a gender to each toy; it's absurd. Boys eat picnics too. The other comment I have is that the lid to the basket is a little flimsy. I'm pretty sure he's probably already pulled it apart since it was looking a little worn by the end of Christmas day. But overall this is a great set and the company should adjust the packaging to be more inclusive because it's fun for everyone.

My 2 1/2 and 4 1/2 year old grandsons love this picnic basket. They are constantly making plates of "snacks" for mommy. I chose this particular basket because it did have the plates, glasses, knives, and forks with it plus play food that the boys would recognize. I recommend this toy.

Johnson's Nursing Pads, 60 ct.

Johnson's Nursing Pads, 60 ct.These pads are the fourth brand I've tried, after Lansinoh and Gerber Ultra-Thin (both disposables) and some washable cloth pads (I forget the brand), and in my experience these are the absolute best. Each type of pad I tried prior had pros and cons, but I have no complaint at all about the Johnson's pads.

I'm wearing them for both day and night, and even after wearing one set all night my bra, shirt, and skin were dry despite the pads being completely saturated. With the other brands, I regularly woke up with everything wet. Regarding daytime wear, I occasionally leaked around the Gerber pads and the cloth pads, as they were relatively small and also did not stay in place; the Lansinoh pads were larger in diameter and had adhesive to keep them in place, but I sometimes leaked through them. Neither of those situations has occurred with the Johnson's pads.

These pads have remained in place flawlessly, even without using the adhesive strip, and they are not noticeable under my clothing. They feel so completely comfortable that I am able to forget they are there. They can contain a much larger amount of moisture, and they are soft and perfectly shaped for me.

The only thing I would change about the Johnson's pads would be to have them individually wrapped like the Lansinoh pads, so that I can carry a spare set in my purse. In light of all the good things about this pad, though, that's a very minor concern.

The contour is great, and the absorbency is fine, but my complaint is the nipple shape, which you can see through your shirt. I try to not have visibly protruding nipples, which I didn't have, so Johnson's provided them for me.

Buy Johnson's Nursing Pads, 60 ct. Now

I use these pads almost all the time as they are comfortable and very absorbent. You don't see them through your clothes, so you can still wear clingy shirts and not feel like your nursing pads are obvious. They aren't individually wrapped like other brands, so if you are planning on stashing some in your purse, you may want to put them in a baggie to help keep them clean.

The Miami Neatnik Saucer High Chair Cover & Placemat

The Miami Neatnik Saucer High Chair Cover & PlacematI really wanted to love this. I was so excited to see an all in one compact chair/table cover, but this just doesn't work in most places.

Pros:

Great Idea

Folds compact

all-in-one

Velcro toys so they don't fall I didn't use this, but my son liked playing with them. :P

Pro/Con It's huge. This could be a pro because it covers lots of space, but it's also a con. It takes up too much table space at restaurants.

Cons:

Every place we tried to use it the table is taller than the high chair which causes it to angle down toward the baby. If the suction cup doesn't stay in place the food rolls into the childs lap.

Suction cups don't work on all surfaces. That's to be expected, but with the angle issues the food falls into the lap.

The leg holes don't seem low enough. The legs are pulling the saucer part down even more.

Check out full review with pictures here.

We bought this high chair cover and used it on our Disney trip last week for our one year old baby girl. It was incredible! I had so many compliments on it as well. Its a bit tricky to fold at times but anything that does this "circle into itself folding" is. It was easy to wipe clean and easy and small enough to fit in the stroller to carry around all day in the park, as well as at the dining table in our condo. IT was so much cleaner for her to eat independently in the highchair with the table covered than eating off the dirty tables since she doesn't like to be spoon fed already. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! The size was fine... a bit big for a small table but it didn't bother us! We bought it off Zulily for about the same price as amazon.

We are an on-the-go type of family, and it's great to have the neatnik saucer to take along. Waitstaff in restaurants no longer cringe when we walk in with a baby we are often thanked for using this and keeping the cleanup to a minimium! I adore that my baby isn't touching (or eating off of) a nasty table that was last cleaned "who knows when" using "who knows what". It's a bit awkward to fold back up, usually takes a few tries, but easier with every use. The suction cups are super strong. Overall, a wonderful purchase, and this will be one of my "go-to" baby gifts for every new parent I know.

Plum Organics Super Puffs Greens, 1.5-Ounce

Plum Organics Baby Super Puffs Purples, Blueberry & Purple Sweet Potato, 1.5-Ounce ContainersSearching for a low-sugar wheat-free puff to offer my baby girls, I discovered Plum Organics with much joy. Clearly superior to all other major brands of baby puffs for digestive health, who's better than Plum for my family? I've successfully battled to contain a serious digestive disorder called Ulcerative Colitis for over a decade in part by special attention to diet. In that time I've learned even moderate amounts of wheat causes problems by creating an overgrowth of Candida yeast in my system. Some know this as a sensitivity to gluten or sugars, others suffer without realizing as so many foods contain wheat or high amounts of sugar. For me it's cumulative folks, a little in nearly everything really piles up. I notice my body getting too much as soon as I begin to heavily crave breads or sugars. Before you know it, that gummy gluten renders me 90% incapable of absorbing nutrition altogether.

Back to the Puffs... wheat is high in gluten, but the oat and rice based Puff offered by Plum Organics stands out with ingredients more gentle on digestive function. This is in addition to providing all the stuff HappyBaby remains conscious of, like sugar and vitamin content. Rice is gluten-free and minimally processed oat may be too, but many still leave it off the list of gluten-free foods due to typical cross-contamination issues with lots of wheat growing and processed alongside oats. Small amounts are ok with me anyway -I'm looking for regulation rather than elimination here. So I'm happy to introduce all these foods to my daughters at healthy levels.

How about the sugar content? Super low, and only natural organic fruit, vegetable or cane juice is used (not corn-syrup as another reviewer erroneously reported -). And can we really get upset about a little blueberry or sweet potato juice temporarily staining a cloth when you account for their health properties? Regulate, read the labels for yourself and take joy in offering your kids a simple, low sugar, high vitamin, low gluten snack.

Oh and must say, I love that they're mainly just puffed air with a fantastic balance of nutrients. 1/2 cup or about 75 pieces per serving keeps my little dears engaged in motor development and feeding skills for a while without concern for dietary imbalance.

Bunch of facts, all packed up to help someone out there enjoy a little extra peace next time they offer Plum Puffs to their kids. Live well!

My son loves these little multicolored stars. So far, we've tried to spinach and apple as well as the mango and sweet potato. He loves them both! They are the perfect size for his little hands and one of the first foods he started to feed himself at around 8 months.

ORGANIC. I chose these puffs because I wanted an alternative to cheerios and other genetically modified cereals. I love that these are organic and feature flavors that are both wholesome and tasty. I've tried them myself and they are yummy!

NO ARTIFICIAL INGREDIENTS. This is a must have for foods I feed my baby.

BPA FREE PACKAGING. I love that these come in BPA free and recyclable packaging.

CONVENIENT. These are perfect for on the go. We bring this with us where ever we go and its the perfect little snack for my son.

The only thing I can say thats negative about these puffs is that they go stale fast! My son is about 9 months old and doesn't eat a lot of these at once. It states on the packaging that they should be used within 1 week for optimal freshness. It takes my son about 3 weeks to finish a package. This caused me to give it four stars instead of five. However, I will still definitely try the other flavors that Plum has available!

My son loves these puffs and they are organic and a good price. That's all I care about. This is also a weird thing: I love the packaging. It's more slender than other puffs that I've purchased, so they don't take up as much room. Weird, I know but these reviews have to be at least 20 words. :)

Sassy Insulated Feeding Pots with Spoon

Sassy Insulated Feeding Pots with SpoonThese containers are great for keeping the baby's food warm for quite a while, and they're small and easily portable great for traveling. The only downside I can see that you aren't supposed to microwave the container itself (per the manufacturer's instructions), so you have to heat the food in something else first and then place it in the container.

I'm ordering more of these so we can keep one of these at Nana's house and one at daycare everybody wants one now.

These little pots actually work. The food always got cold before my daughter was finished eating and these solved the problem. I've even heated food and taken it in the pots to feed an hour later at a restaurant and the food was still warm. You can either put the jar in the pot or pour the food in. Only catch is they only fit up to a stage 2 jar (stage 3 will be too tall). My daughter loves the colors too. These are great little pots for the price.

Baby Gourmet Organic Simple Purees Stage 1(6 Months+) Baby Food, 4.5-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 12)

Baby Gourmet Organic Simple Purees Stage 1(6 Months+) Juicy Pear and Garden Greens Baby Food, 3.5-Ounce PouchesCustomer review from the Amazon Vine Program The product itself is pretty straight forward. It's got pureed organic baby food in a little pouch. Easier to transport than the little glass jars. If your baby eats a lot, there's a lot more food per pouch. The nozzle and cap makes it easy to squeeze straight onto a spoon and feed baby with no mess (at least on this end). Also, since the food theoretically is being transferred from the pouch to the spoon, you don't have cross-contamination of the baby's mouth germs being reintroduced back into the jar of baby food.

The color of this particular product leaves a bit to be desired. But the flavor was fine (to me) and the pear and garden greens combo is pretty nice and healthy.

I echo the same concerns that another reviewer posted. I actually got this product a little earlier since I knew my baby would be eating in a month or so. Lo and behold, once I opened it when he was ready for solids, the expiration had already passed. Perhaps this is only an issue for the free stuff we're getting through Vine reviews; I sure hope so. But somebody ought to think twice about giving out stuff on the cusp of expiration that is meant for babies and their uniquely sensitive systems. This is also relevant given that the baby food comes packaged as a pack of 12. Now, I don't know who would buy a package of 12 food pouches of the *exact* same flavor. Your baby must really love pear and greens. Moreover, I mentioned that each pouch is 4.5 ounces. That's more than 2 glass jars' worth. My personal thought is that unless your child has texture issues or low oral muscle tone, the baby is probably going to move through the pureed food stage a lot faster than you could possibly go through 12 pouches of this baby food (I'm assuming that you're also providing him/her with other flavors, though).

I also recommend looking into the Happy Baby brand of baby food. It also comes in neat little pouches and has organic pureed fruits and veggie combos; but it adds additional Salba grains that are naturally rich in Omega-3s. If you found this review helpful, please let me know!

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I ate one of these pouches so I would know what to expect from them. Honestly, all I could taste was pear so although I believe the other ingredients mentioned are in them, they are pretty sweet, and I worry about creating a baby with a sweet tooth as a result. There are few ingredients (good in my book I prefer to eat nothing that has more than 5 ingredients) and they appear to be of a high quality.

I miss the old baby food jars which seem greener to me. If you didn't recycle the glass, you could at least save the jars for storage of small items. The BPA-free packaging of these does make it easy to get the contents out, and the lid can be screwed back on so that the pouch can be finished later, but overall, there is a lot of trash generated from them.

My baby absolutely loves this food! He's been eating Earth's best and Gerber purees regularly, and he will eat those just fine, but when I've given him the Baby Gourmet food, he practically wolfs it down. I've tasted it and it actually tastes pretty good! Now, my only issue with this food is how ridiculously expensive it is. We received about 10 packets for free at an event, and that's pretty much the only reason we tried them. I wish we could buy more but the price point is just a little too much.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I make my daughter's baby food because my previous experience with store-bought foods (granted it was many years ago) was that they were overly processed, foul tasting, and inconvenient. The food never tasted anything like what the label proclaimed it to be and usually tasted rather flavorless or sour, and they were only available in clunky containers that were annoying to pack or store. This looked different so I decided to give it a try and I am glad that I did.

First, and most important to me, the food is made of all natural and organic ingredients. Second, I can clearly taste the vegetables and fruit in each bite, and I can identify them as greens and pear. Third, the storage container is extremely convenient. I don't have to worry about the package breaking open in her bag and it is easy to serve her exactly the amount I desire.

The packaging recommends that the product be consumed within 24 hours and in my house that is no problem. My sometimes-reluctant-to-eat 6 month old had absolutely no difficulty polishing off a container in a day. And if she did, it tastes so good that I would probably not mind finishing it off. She loves the taste and the consistency is great for someone just starting on purees.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program As we were preparing for the arrival of our 7 month old grandson, I ordered this Vine selection for him. He is not a picky eater, but he does have some foods that he will not eat. He gets this funny face, gags, and then spits it up. It is quite cute actually as the grandparent many more things are cute this time around. So after a round of gags with a new pumpkin organic something or another, we tried this pear and garden greens food combo. It is made up of a blend of organic pears, organic broccoli and organic spinach. He face went from gags to smiles, his hands starting to whirl and his mouth kept opening until the packet was empty. And I stood there with my mouth open no, not for this concoction, but because who in the world would think that these three foods would be anything that a human would like. But like it he did. We fed him 7 packets in 7 days and he never tired of it.

Highly recommended.

Organic Waterproof Mattress Pad

Organic Waterproof Mattress Pad Size: BassinetMy daughter has a lot of allergies and started having severe breathing issues when we bought a traditional mattress for her new big-girl bed. It seems the polyurethane foam is a pretty common trigger for people with allergies and chemical sensitivities. That said, we ended up buying a very expensive, all natural mattress and wanted it to last a very long time. This was the perfect solution. It is completely safe, non-toxic, passes GreenGuard standards, and doesn't off-gas. You would never know there's a waterproof membrane between the two layers of organic cotton, but it is truly waterproof and has protected the new mattress from a couple of very wet accidents already.

Update, June 2012: I was interested in additional details about what the waterproof inner film was made of after I first posted this review. I emailed Naturepedic, and they replied to my inquiry with a very kind, but disappointing email that it was proprietary information and that they couldn't give a lot more info, other than emphasizing many of the things that were NOT in it. I was not entirely happy with the response, but overall, I was still happy with the safety and efficacy of the mattress pad. However, shortly after our email exchange, Naturepedic emailed me again to let me know they recently updated their website to reflect more detailed info. I was really impressed with this kind of follow-up and awesome response to a concerned customer. Kudos to them for recognizing how important this information is and for quickly following up not just with me but for officially changing the info on their public site. Here's the more detailed language from their website that describes the DrySleep liner:

Drysleep uses a specially formulated polyurethane waterproof barrier that is proven to not leach harmful chemicals. It is made from the same grade material as is required for food contact applications. It also meets the highest standards for medical device biocompatibility (USP Class VI). It does not contain any fire retardants or antimicrobial treatments and is free of vinyl/PVC, phthalates and latex. It also easily passes the GREENGUARD Children & Schools and Select certification standards for chemical emissions and is approved under the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS).

All in all, we're extremely happy with this purchase and it works exactly as it states. The fact that it comes from NaturePedic, one of the only mattress makers to get Healthy Child Healthy World's endorsement, helps us all sleep that much better at night!

SheeshI know I sound like an advertisement there, but after seeing my child suffer because of a mattress I told her she'd be safe on, my heart is so grateful that there are companies that make products that are truly safe and healthy for children and the rest of us.

since my daughter spends so many hours in her bed, i wanted a mattress cover that i was confident wouldn't have any off-gassing of chemicals that she would be breathing through the night. this is not a cheap product, but was worth it for the peace of mind. we've only been using it a couple months, but it is high quality and seems very durable. also, it's soft and doesn't make any crinkly noises like some of the vinyl pads.

I searched a long time for a waterproof matress pad that was safe, didn't emit any toxins and didn't make rustling noises. Let me tell you, this is it. It's great, it provides great protection for our new matress, it's soft and safe. I was a little worried that that it doesn't go down the sides of the matress and only secures with the elastic straps, but it fits great and stays in place. I loved the first one so much I purchased a 2nd. It is expensive and it takes a few runs in the dryer to dry fully, but it seems to be of great quality and I expect it will last a long time.

This waterproof pad is the "berries"! I would like to own a second one; however,it was a bit costly, so I will manage with just one. I am a frugal person and this item was worth every penny. We take it with us on all of our vacations "just in case".

Kinderville Little Bites Silicone Bibs (Set of 2, Blue/Green)

Kinderville Little Bites Silicone BibsInitially I was disappointed at how much smaller these bibs look than the baby Bjorn Dex Baby and tommee tippee Bibs that I have purchased. However those bibs were always kind of sitting on the high chair tray or my son was leaning in to eat and so the pelican pocket parts were thusly useless and all the food went into the seat or back onto the tray. Baby Bjorn I returned because my little boy couldnt even eat since the stupid thing sat on top of the tray and then when he leaned forward to eat poked him in his neck with its rigid collar. The tommee tippee ones just got yucky and stained and the Dex baby ones are too east for him to unsnap and just fling food everywhere.

This bib sit up higher than the others and is closer to my sons mouth. It is soft silicone and should not stain. And my son does not seem to mind it as much. Also it fastens on the side as opposed to in back which is great because my baby has curls for days and I just cant seem to get behind his head without getting a little ringlet stuck in the bib faster on other bibs and so it is always a pain. This bib is easy breezy :)

These bibs are really cute, easy to clean, quick to dry, and they fit our 7-month old baby boy very well.

We are very pleased with this purchase.

Cute colors/designs, great size (sits above the highchair tray), and easily wiped down but the pocket at the bottom has open ends which means that any liquid caught will eventually come out the side and fall into the baby's lap.

I really expected to totally LOVE these. I mean, they wipe clean easily and have a cute design. However, I was disappointed by the size. They seem really...small. Even though they adjust to be a bit bigger around the neck, I am not really sure how long we will be able to use them. I'm keeping them since they are so easy to clean and I am hoping to get good use out of them.

So for the prospective buyers out there:

The tray that is supposed to catch the food is fairly small and the overall size of the bib is fairly small. I don't think you could use these much past 9 months-1 year of age.

Want Kinderville Little Bites Silicone Bibs (Set of 2, Blue/Green) Discount?

I have twins, so we go through a LOT of bibs...

The fabric ones made a pile of gross laundry, so we tried the bibster disposables... Those were great for about one feeding, until they learned how to rip them off and tear them into pieces faster than you can blink.

Next I tried the sticky stick-on bibs. The sticky bibs didnt work unless the baby was wearing a perfectly round collar that fit right up to the neck (Forget about it if there was a collar placket, or any sort of frills at the neck) and once the babies learned to rip those off, it was impossible to even get them stuck on without a fight.

Then I tried the Bjorn bibs, but they are so rigid and hard, and the pocket at the bottom sits right where the tray of the highchair sets... This meant we either rested it ABOVE the tray, so it jammed right into their necks, or tried to stuff it UNDER the tray which yanked down on the back of the neck. Either way resulted in a teary, tortured baby. They might work well for times when you dont have a highchair, but not for our every day routine.

These Kinderville bibs are AWESOME. They are so soft, they dont hurt the babies necks, and they are a breeze to wash. They snap on easily, and so far no one has figured out how to rip them off. (They dont even try to rip them off, because they aren't uncomfortable and they dont make that wonderful scritchy noise that makes the babies tear at the plastic ones!)

These bibs are the perfect solution for us. Im so glad I found them!

Munchkin Time Saver Bottle Warmer, White

Munchkin Time Saver Bottle Warmer, WhiteI bought this bottle warmer simply for the cost and I will never do that again. The water reservoir leaks all over the counter. The directions say not to overfill but the reservoir drains the water into the warmer on its own so there should be no user error. And since the water "drains as needed" from the reservoir into the warmer, you should never have to place water in the warmer directly. There is no light or anything to tell you when to add more water but you never know what is in the warmer part. Many times in the middle of warming a bottle for 4 minutes, the water will run out and if you are not standing over the warmer (God forbid you have a baby you are getting into pajamas while the bottle warms) you will only know by the horrible smell that occurs when the water is empty and yet the burner keeps burning, hence burning the bottom of the bottle. And other times, you will pull the bottle out of the warmer (the handy basket part doesn't hold a bottle bigger than 4oz so you are using your hands to pull it out) the nipple and bottle are burning hot and yet the liquid is cold. I read the other reviews just now and I sure wish I would have looked on here before I bought this product. And I certainly wouldn't have bought 5 of these. I will be throwing this one out and buying a new brand altogether.

I nurse my son so we only use this when I'm not around and he needs a bottle. It heats it perfectly and we liked it so much that we got a 2nd one for our daycare lady.

I've read these reviews and can't figure out why people don't like this. My wife and I received it as a baby shower gift and we use it multiple times a day. If you use common sense and check the water level through the somewhat transparent water reservoir you should never run out of water halfway through warming your bottles. Also yes it does get the bottle and lid and nipple hot, use a towel to pick it up. It's not that hard to do. We absolutely love this thing as it saves time at 4am as opposed to warming under warm water.

It leaks all over the counter when I heat a bottle and smells like it burns the milk..I would invest in another warmer..I loved tommee tippee warmer! I'm highly satisfied with it..works great n doesn't get to hot!

Want Munchkin Time Saver Bottle Warmer, White Discount?

water tank is way too small

only does about 4-5 bottles on setting of 2 minutes

(it doesn;t leak if you do it right)

warming is variable

the longer you leave it in [after the bell rings] the warmer it gets

it can easily get too hot just sitting there if you walk off and forget

this is when you have it set to warm correctly assuming you are there and pull it out immediately

also less milk means it gets warmer

milk from frig takes longer to warm than if it was room temp to start with

so you kind of either have to do everything the same [initial temp, milk quantity, post-bell time, even the bottle type] or take a shot in the dark that it comes out ok

change any of that, and you are back to guessing, and the old wrist temp-test

plus there is no low water warning, it is easy to run it dry and have a bad smell

also that turns the bottom brown eventually

i can see how it would melt or burn bottle bottoms too

plus if you get any milk in the water, it foams up, and will turn the whole thing brown pretty soon

also there are nooks and crannies that make it hard to clean milk out completely, particularly around the heating disk in the bottom

plus you can;t add water until it;s empty [unless you want water all over the counter] because the tank goes in upside down, with no cap, if it has any in it when you remove it, it will come out

bottom line, it works, it doesn;t cost a fortune, but it has some limitations,whicht are not impossible to work around

BESTREVIEW :) vote for me :) just kidding, but if it helped.. thx wle..

EDITS

-it is still about the fastest way to do it other than microwave, not recommended

=for some reason dr brown;s bottles will spew milk up and out of their threads SOMETIMES

when they do milk gets in the water and eventually turns brown and has be cleaned out

i really think it is when the cap is on too tight, not too loose

either that , or maybe the nipple hole is stopped up

the browns bottles are weird and i think the air in the bottle expands and doesn;t go out the normal way, and it has to force the milk up the blue vent tube and out the threads, which are intentionally too big on those bottles, it is how air gets in when the baby sucks

Gerber 2nd Foods Meats, 2.5-Ounce (Pack of 12)

Gerber 2nd Foods Meats, Chicken & Chicken Gravy, 2.5-OunceI do not have human children so I can only comment on how this works for my furry kids. I have a cat with severe pancreas/GI issues & he has steadily lost weight over the past 2 years.He cannot seem to absorb enough nutrients from his foods. He is on B-12 shots & prednisolone to help calm the inflammation & spure his appetite but sometimes the ONLY thing he will eat is this chicken baby food. He has also eaten the ham & turkey versions of this brand but lately...........just the chicken. He's fussy & has always been a "drama queen" & he also has allergies in the Autumn that affect his willingness to eat (if a cat can't smell the food a cat won;t eat the food) so getting anything into him is helpful & the baby food is good for both nutrition & for hydration.My husband & I will do most anything to keep him happy & enjoying his quality of life for as long as possible & this baby food helps us do that for him. Our other 3 cats also enjoy this as a sometimes treat so it works well for our family.

My vet gave me this tip. I have had two cats with digestion problems, problems that they liked to make mine! My vet suggested 1/2 jar for a 10 lb or larger cat, 1/4 jar for a less

than 10 lb cat...per day or every other day. For some reason this settles their stomachs.

And they stopped purging on my carpet or my down comforter! They think it is a kitty treat.

I think it is a miracle.

I have a cat with a heart condition that takes meds. twice daily. This is a little loose off the shelf, but after refrigeration it is perfect to wrap around a pill and feed him off a spoon. You want to use the least amount of food possible so the patient will lick it up in one bit, never noticing the hidden pill. I have also tried other varieties that are very soupy and are to messy for babies or pets.

One of our ferrets has lymphoma. We give him a mix of the chicken, the ham, a little of the apple, peach, & banana, a touch of Ferret Vite, his prednisolone, and a bit of warm water out of the Zojirushi. Stir it up and watch him gobble it up! He does not like the beef, nor will he eat other brands like Beech-nut. And when ferrets don't like it, ferrets don't eat it. Anyway, 9 months on this diet and he is still hanging in there.

We have an elderly cat that is hyperthyroid, which leaves her often sick to her stomach. She absolutely HATED her prescription food from the vet for her condition--she hated it so much she would rather not eat at all then eat that food, and she was already skin and bones. So--we had to find an alternative food and continue giving her thyroid medicine. We've taken her off all corn-based feed and put her on Blue Buffalo, which has decreased her vomiting. We supplemented her food with the Gerbers Chicken & Gravy, 1/2 jar once a day. It is a treat for her and she isn't sick of it yet. It also seems to settle her stomach--she hasn't vomiting once after eating it. She has also begun to gain a little bit of weight, which is great. Buying the food from Amazon is a bit more expensive than getting it in local stores, but I like the delivery to the door, since I am disabled (and this vendor sends the food SUPER fast) .

Wean Green Garden Pack Lunch Cubes Glass Food Containers

Wean Green Round Wean Bowls 6oz/165ml Baby Food Glass Containers - Multi Color GardenWithin the last year I discontinued using plastic containers and made the switch to glass. However, I was in need of small "travel size" containers for salad dressing, yogurt, as well as children's snacks. The cubes (and bowls) are perfect for my needs! These little gems are perfect for our on-the-go family of 5. I love the Garden Pack because with 4 colors I can easily keep track of any missing containers. I "assign" a color to each child (and hubby) so if I notice a certain color is missing then I know who to go to!

I bought one of these containers at Whole Foods a while back and absolutely love it. I decided to get this four pack and unfortunately they have added this, for lack of a better description, big smelly rubber band thing that goes between the glass and lid for it to seal. If you take it off (which you would to wash it) it is quite difficult to get back on. Sadly returning these but hoping I can find the previous version that was great as it was!

I love all of the Wean Green glass snack containers and was excited to replace my son's Lunchbot with this sandwich container. Well, I can fit half a sandwich and some carrot sticks in theWean sandwich container. It's cute, but it really needs to be larger to be a true sandwich container.

These are perfect sized containers for kids. They do hold a "regular" sized sandwich if you cut off the crusts (which works out well since my kids don't like the crust much anyway we just crumble it up and feed it to the birds). With that said, I don't typically send my kids with sandwiches. Instead I fill half the container with veggies and the other half with a little rice and meat. A kid sized, balanced meal all in one container. I really prefer the multi-colored four packs because I can designate a color for everyone (makes keeping track of them very simple). I also have the coordinating cubes and bowls these smaller sizes are great for so many things.

These containers are great for storing baby food especially in the freezer. I love the way the tops 'lock' would recommend this product for sure!

bumGenius Elemental Organic All In One Diaper - White

bumGenius Elemental Organic All In One Diaper - WhiteI'm a BG fan. I like the freetimes. 4.0's and also use Flips. These are expensive, but I wanted to try. The organic cotton inside is really thin compared to the usual microfiber inserts which makes for a trimmer fit. There are two thin layers of cotton attached to the diaper at the ends but loose in the middle which makes for a faster dry time. I double the fabric up in the front since I have a boy. I really thought he'd leak through because the cotton didn't look like it would hold much. However, it was good through his 2.5 hour nap. I'd like to slowly work these into my stash if possible. If you can afford them, I highly recommend them!
