Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Cutting Fruit Crate

I was so excited to see this Wooden Cutting Fruit Crate because my older daughter and niece have the old Cutting Food Box but since we are gluten free the fruit seemed like a nice addition for the little kids. Unfortunately it is not nearly the same quality. The pieces don't seem to fit together as snuggly and the velcro isn't as strong so it is more as if the fruit falls apart instead of the cutting sensation the first set has. Also the wooden food itself doesn't feel as substantial/heavy and it doesn't come in a box with a lid like the older set. I don't know if the quality of the Cutting food box has gone down as well or if it is just this set, but I am pretty disappointed.

We have a lot of Melissa and Doug toys. The cutting food set is my daughter's favorite toy so I bought this set to go along with it. We just brought it home from store and I am so disappointed! Some of the velcro pieces are sunken into the wooden holes and so they barely "stick" together. The cantelope holds together by just a few strings. One of the velcro pieces on the orange is a piece from the end or side of a roll? It only has velcro on half of the piece, the rest is just material. We're so used to such high quality from Melissa and Doug that it really surprises me! I'll take it back and try again. I hope this isn't a reflection on a decrease in quality from our favorite toy brand.

I use this product for my own children and for my daycare. It is one of their favorite toys. They love to cut the food and stick it back together. This toy is not only a fun toy to play with, but teaches mathematic concepts (fractions). My only complaint is that the velcro is not quite as "sticky" as it could be.

This is a great toy, it teaches kids valuable skills while they play. Thay learn about cutting, using hand eye coordination and how to put things back together. It is very durable, it has held up even with all the abuse it takes from my 5 kids.

Excellent toy for the toddler in your life and a fun one for Mom and Dad to join in. My Grandson just loves using the "knife" to cut the fruit and the crunch it makes as he is cutting just adds to the fun.

Carry You Piccolo Small Stroller Snack Tray

I bought this for my Maxi Cosie Foray stroller. It works great so far. It holds a sippy cup and has room for other snacks. Like the fact it's BPS and Lead free. It's the only snack tray that I have found that works with my stroller.

I bought this based on all the reviews i read for it on multiple sites. it's great, if you don't have any liquid IN your sippy cups. it falls down, and while it still holds the item it keeps falling and slipping and it's just really annoying. I haven't found any other options for after market (i have an instep double jogger). a real bummer.

I liked the caddy and found it to be good quality and a good price. I would recommend it. I used it on the front bar of our stroller for my son to store his hot wheels and sippy cup.

It isn't really a good product.

it doesn't stay still when the kid try to reach for the food or for anything you put in it. you cannot put a lot of things because the weight will lower it.

doesn't worth a penny.

really only used it once than put it away. what a delusion!

This product straps onto the stroller nicely with a little bit of adjustment. When I tip the tray up a bit, it can hold the snacks and toys my child puts in it. This is a good way to feed my child without exposing him to all the germs at the food court tables. And in this flu season, I couldn't be happier to have it. Plus it's Lead Free & PVC free!

Ba Baby Bottle Holder

My baby is 9 months old and I am desperate for her to learn how to hold her own bottle. I saw this product in Parents magazine and thought I'd give it a try. Unfortunately it didn't work as well as I'd hoped and I am sending it back. Not worth the money for something that is essentially only going to be used as a toy around here.

Pros:

--Fits Dr. Brown's wideneck bottles

--Adorable light pink color

--Safe silicone without BPA and other chemicals

Cons:

--My baby was more distracted by the "toy" on her bottle and just wanted to chew on it, throw it around, etc. She couldn't seem to grasp the idea that it was meant to be a bottle holder. It was just a huge distraction and none of the bottle was eaten.

Overall I think it depends on the baby, and this could potentially be a life-saver for you and its definitely worth a TRY with the free return shipping--you really don't have anything to lose by giving it a trial run. I wish it had worked!

I purchased this bottle holder with high hopes only to finally get it and find that it doesn't fit "most" bottles as advertised. I use the Medela 6 oz. bottles which are fairly small in general and this didn't even come close to fitting. The Dr. Brown's bottles didn't fit either. I'm guessing that it really only fits the large wide mouthed 8oz. Avent bottles or others similar to this size.

I liked the idea behind this but it didn't work for us. The bottle holder just collapsed around the bottle and my daughter didn't know what to do with it.

I thought this fit a standard dr browns but it did not... returning... opening was too wide and overall it was bulkier than anticipated.

I know there are issues with the Ba Baby Bottle holder not fitting certain bottle brands correctly. We have the short Dr. Brown bottle and they fit perfectly. This has been a lifesaver with twins as it has allowed us to feed both babies at the same time even when the ratio of adult to baby is 1:2! We highly recommend the Ba Baby!

Nuby 3 Pack Soft Edge Spoon, Colors May Vary

I love these spoons! I had quite a few different types of spoons and these are my favorite. They seem to have the perfect shape, length, and texture. My baby loved to rub his gums on the spoons when he was teething and when he did get his teeth, they're not soft enough to make teeth marks. The spoon changes colors when it's hot, which is a very helpful feature. My baby is 13 months old and I have been using these since he was 4 months old. The only negative thing I can think of (which is hardly worth mentioning) is that the end of the spoon gets stained (since they're white) when you feed your baby carrots or sweet potatoes, pureed. I actually got rid of all of my other spoons and replaced them with new Nuby spoons because I love them so much!

This spoon was great, I was looking for something other than the traditional metal spoon dipped in plastic because I did not want to worry about getting the part where the plastic meets the spoon meticulously clean. That's just yucky to me I never feel they are really clean. An added bonus has been that because it is made of soft plastic all around my son uses it during teething days and he just won't let go! Of course you have to watch the baby or they'll gag. The only reason that it did not get 5 stars is that the heat indicator color in the middle takes a looooong time to respond and when my son sees food there's no taking my time!

Well, again I am pleased with Nuby. These spoons are much better than the metal Gerber ones that are practically flat, so the food just falls off onto the bib. These have the perfect sized and shaped little bowl on the spoon that is just right for feeding your little one. Plus, they do change color with heat, a big plus.

They will stain, as will anything plastic, but plastic booster for the washer helps with that.

While it may be unfair to compare a mass-produced, plastic (BPA-free!) spoon with the hand-forged spoons of the Ancient Romans, the golden spoons of medieval kings or even display-case demitasse spoons featuring tiny pewter eagles alighting on the handle or other such collectible spoon frippery; the Nuby Soft Edge Spoon nonetheless holds a firm place in the parent's spoon arsenal (placing just behind wooden spoons that serve as a drumsticks for impromptu kitchen jam sessions).

The size of the bowl of the spoon is nearly perfect for small mouths that are just beginning to learn about the whole eating thing. As advertised, the spoons are soft enough for tiny gums and for scraping up drips on chins. The temperature indicator is very helpful. Although the long handles make the spoon easier to use, be warned that they also invite karate chops from flailing hands that will send a glop of food catapult-style onto your wall or ceiling.

As other reviewers have noted, orange foods (carrots, sweet potato, Cheetos, etc.) will stain the white parts of the spoon. If this bothers you, imagine a future archaeological excavation deriving from your long-abandoned Nuby spoon the dietary habits of early Man. "They lived in desperate times," the professor will say, "food had to be grown, shipped, purchased, prepared and inserted into facial orifice #7 instead of mashed and beamed directly into the digestive tract by our robot-farm-slaves: see how the food product has left a residue on the eating implement." Cue "ahhs" from amazed students.

All-in-all, a good spoon considering the competition.

My son has been using the Gerber spoons until someone gave us these as a gift. He loves these. The shape of the spoon tip fit in his mouth better and are more practical for more watery foods. They will be perfect when he starts to self-feed.

Similac Organic Powder, 23.2-Ounce

My baby seems to like it okay. It is grainy but I imagine most powder formulas are. We have only tried one other Organic formula and it went bad before we were half way through with the canister. This one I could buy at Target for a fairly reasonable price, seems like I can find it cheaper there than on Amazon. The smell is mild compared to the other brand we tried. I have no complaints so far.

MY lo had to be rushed to the ER!!! Allergic Reaction after this Formula. Her entire Body was swollen. Never had any problems with any other Formula....PLEASE STAY AWAY!!!

Bright Beginnings Organic Powder - 23.2 oz

My wife, child, and I have been very satisfied with this product. We are primarily feeding with breast milk, but we are supplementing with formula. We knew that we had to make sacrifices by including formula in our baby's diet, but we wanted to find the best formula we could. Thus far we have been happy with "Bright Beginnings Organic." We looked at Similac's organic formula, but we were turned off by this NYTimes article.

After researching Bright Beginnings, I found this write-up particularly helpful in making my decision:

In practice, we have not noticed a lot of gas with this formula, and our baby shows no hesitation in taking this formula. I will say that I see a bit more gas when I get lazy and shake the bottle to mix the formula rather than stirring it but I can't blame the product for this.

Thus far, we are very happy with this product, and we feel good about our choice for now.

We adopted a newborn & I researched high & low to find an organic formula for our little one. I have been very pleased with Bright Beginnings. I only wish I could purchase it at my local organic store.

Would have given 5 stars as it's a great formula. But, my daughters baby needed a formula with better protein breakdown for gas so she had to switch to Enfamil gentle ease. If Bright Beginnings had a formula similar we would have gone with that one.

We tried all the organic dairy based formulas and this one was slightly gritty. It kind of separated in the bottle, so when my baby got to the end, there was a pile of mush in the bottle. We ended up not having luck with store prepared formula because there is just too much iron in it. We have since resorted to making her formula from scratch which she does really well with and digests fine. If you are interested, check out the Weston A Price Foundation for the recipe.

Although our baby had no problems eating it, we did notice some increased fussiness in the hours after feeding her this formula (compared to breast milk feedings). Both milks were fed out of the same bottles, so that is probably not the source of the difference.

From an aesthetic standpoint, this formula stays really gritty after mixing and foams quite heavily. I'm unsure if this is what contributed to the fussiness, but that possibility exists.

We ended up switching to Earth's Best organic formula. It is more expensive, but foams less, isn't gritty and doesn't result in post-feeding fussiness. Unlike the Bright Beginnings formula, the Earth's Best is verging on indistinguishable from breast milk in the bottle, with a similar smell and taste.

Other than the fussiness, however, we didn't notice any increase in constipation or spit-up with the Bright Beginnings formula, and it is cheaper the the EB brand.

Rather than dump the remaining powder, we plan to start mixing this in with mashed foods around 4-6 months.

Nestle Cerelac, Mixed Vegetables and Rice with Milk, Stage 2, 400 g (14.1 oz.) Can (Pack of 4)

Nestle Cerelac, Mixed Vegetables and Rice with Milk, Stage 2, 400 g Can

Initially when i started feeding my baby he was a very good eater , I started with the home made foods like sweet potato , carrots , spinach +potato ..Initially he picked it fast and was eating well ..after two months he suddenly stopped eating everything... I tried Gerber , earths best and home made . I called up my sister , she is a doctor..she suggested me cerelac , and i tried amazon first !!I never guessed they are available in USA..Thanks to Amazon for selling this wonderful product ..This had a whole different taste , my baby ate only cerelac for two months when he started teething ...even during fever , cold ,teething discomforts he eats cerelac all the time , at times during teething he stopped breast feeding and i was very concerned and worried .. But I swear there is not even a single time when he rejected this product ..He did not like any of the wheat flavors from same company ..I am still trying once in a while though ..This flavor is amazing .i usually try everything before i feed my baby ..This is awesome ..Worth trying it once ...

The only con is it comes in a package of four if you want prime shipping ...Mothers usually look for one can to try initially..

Excellent Product, highly nutritious and tasty. My 7 month old loves it and eats it twice a day...

I wanted something yummy and healthy for my infant and was really happy to find "cerelac" available on Amazon!

It is really nice. Sometimes, when I want my infant to eat home cooked food, he decides to not cooperate. As soon as I add a spoon or two to it, he happily has it!

Would definitely recommend buying it for babies!

Nestle Cerelac from Europe is one of the hardest things to find! Thanks Amazon for carrying this and at such a great price considering the shipping. My baby nephew loves this, and it is so good for him compared to the other stuff in the normal grocery stores!

Prince Lionheart Compact Drying Station

I bought this in conjunction with the larger, non-collapsing PLH drying rack. I got this one with the intent of holding my pumping equipment and the other to hold bottles. This rack is okay, but I have to admit that I like the other much better. I don't like the lack of drip tray on this, which requires me to keep a towel under it. The biggest problem I have with it is that several of the rods that hold the bottles up are too short to hold 8oz bottles (which is what I pump into). If you are looking to dry a few 4oz bottles or just some basic pumping stuff, it'd be fine, but if you are looking something to do it all, this will fall short.

I wasn't going to buy a bottle drying station, but bought this on a whim. So glad I did. We have limited counter space, so it's perfect because I can put it away in a drawer when it's not in use. And while it is in use, I can put it on a towel on the counter or I can place it on top of our normal dish rack. I use it to dry pump parts and bottles, and it holds everything quite well for me. Obviously this isn't the drying station for you if you have tons of space and don't want something that you have to put a towel under, but for what it's intended to do, it's a pretty darn brilliant design.

We neede a compact bottle holder for my pump supplies and bottles. We dont have much room and we just needed to drive a few this at a time... This has worked out for us. We have been using it for about 5 weeks.

Love this thing! Got a few racks from friends at the shower and didn't like any of them. This is by far the best! We have limited counter space so the fact that it's so easy to colapse and expand is great and I love that it's so easy to clean!

Great if you don't have lots of bottles and you don't have lots of counter space, perfect for what I needed! Used for occasional pumping/bottle feeding.
