Compac Crust Cutter, Colors May Vary

Compac Crust Cutter, Colors May VaryA nice simple tool to help you make kids sammies / tidy little morsels.

Takes some of the effort out of making fairy bread.

Works just as I suspected. Like a crust cutter. But actually I use it more to cut out my homemade bread. Wonderful.

I loved the idea, but I'm not going to be using this much. First, it's so much smaller than my slice of bread, that it wastes good bread. Second, it doesn't cut through the bread. Disappointing.

Angry Birds Rectangle Plastic Storage Box

Angry Birds Rectangle Plastic Storage BoxIt is very cute and just the right size but for my 4 yr. old grandson, actually for me too, it was really hard to open. i purchased it for him for homelunch but if he can't open it then there is no use for that. Just kept it because too busy to return.

Ella's Kitchen Nibbly Fingers, 4.4 Ounce (Pack of 8)

Ella's Kitchen Nibbly Fingers, Carrots and Mangos, 4.4 OunceMy daughter (2 yrs old) loves these (all flavors) and I don't feel guilty giving them to her as a snack. I've tried them, and they are pretty plain, but she has liked them since the first time she tried them. She will specifically request these as a snack.

My son loves these as they are pure fruit and nothing artifical. As they do not need refridgerating you can take them anywhere.

My son loves these. Even if he refuses to eat everything else he will usually eat this. It's basically a granola bar for toddlers. They are very portable, individually wrapped, and can easily be stored in a diaper bag for a long time. They also carry these at Target in the baby food section.

My grandson loves these. Even when he doesn't feel well, he will eat some of these. They are good for him, no preservatives, tasty, and convenient.

I purchased these for my son and he really likes them. We have only tried the Carrot/Mango and Strawberry/Apple flavors, but he seems to like them both equally. He actually prefers these to Nutrigrain bars (and the Kashi version of the Nutrigrain bars). I prefer these as well, as they are smaller and a bit more dense than the Nutrigrain type bars, so you don't get the crumbly mess. I can only find these at my local Target store and since I don't get there very often, I've resorted to ordering them on Amazon. I would prefer not to have to buy an 8 pack, but since they don't spoil quickly, I know that we will go through them.

Juvenile Solutions Baby Cubes (2 oz/Pack of 8)

Juvenile Solutions Baby CubesThese cubes do the trick, but I wouldn't trust them to keep the food fresh in the freezer for too long. They certainly don't seen to be airtight, and the lids do frequently pop off. They don't close securely, and they do leak if tipped over. The cube plastic is flimsy and when I sent one to daycare with food in it, they thought it was disposable and threw it away. The idea is great, but the product isn't up to par. It seems as though the lids will easily break from the containers. I gave this product 3 stars because there isn't another product like it that I can find, and the little containers are convenient. I wish Rubbermaid or Tupperware made small enough containers for storing because their covers are tight fitting and plastic is more durable.

These cubes are quite handy. When my son was first eating solids, I was making my own purees and using these, they are a little larger than a 6 month old's feeding size, but came in very handy once he started eating larger portions. I use these for his school lunches (he's 14 months now) and they are easy to wash, and the lid is connected so you don't have to worry about it getting lost.

Tip: for earlier ages, using an ice cube tray for baby purees was more beneficial for me. The feeding size of the cubes were perfert.

I bought these but can't see the benefit of putting food in these tiny containers that tip over, are quite hard to store in the freezer, not good for microwaving to defrost, and then you have to wash them individually.

I gave up and use ice cube traysso much easier to put the baby mush in (spray with Pam 1st for easy dispensing), pop out and store in Freezer Ziplocs, defrost as needed.

I love this product! They are easy to clean, can be steam serilized in the microwave (not all baby bowls/dishes can go into the microwave), and the food can be thawed/reheated in the microwave.

As another reviewer mentioned, I did have one that popped open when I put it in the freezer, but that was because I filled it too full. Just fill it to the max line and you will be fine. I also like that these cubes (when filled properly) don't leave the food freezer burned. I'm not sure if that's a problem with the ice cube trays, but that was one of the reasons why I wanted to try these. And I haven't been disappointed!

This two ounce size is great for my twins. I also love that there is a measuring line on them so I can divide the food evenly between the twins to make sure both are getting their fair share! I believe there are also smaller 1oz cubes you can buy, but the 2oz size seems to be the perfect amount after your baby has been introduced to solids and starts wanting more than just a taste of food. For me, I pull out 2 or 3 of the 2oz cubes and can easily get the twins meals ready in just a few minutes.

Instead of writing on these with a dry erase marker, I just put a small round sticker on the front of the tray with the food and date, and it works great for me. The trays allow me to stay organized so it's easy to know how much of a particular kind of food is left... so I know when to make more!

I originally only bought 2 trays to test them out and see how they worked. I loved them so much that I've ordered another 2 trays and may be back for more!

These containers are very poor quality. They do not open/close particularly well and shatter easily if you happen to drop one from the freezer.

A much better option is Rubbermaid's 1/2 cup Easy Find Lid containers. There are a little bigger (4 oz), but your baby will soon outgrown the 2oz pots anyway! Rubbermaid's close securely, open easily, stack up well in the freezer and are robust enough not to crack if you happen to drop them. And most importantly, they are also BPA free

graze organic Organic Cloth Lunch Tote

graze organic Organic Cloth Lunch Tote, RobotsI bought a set of the sandwich, snack and veggie bags about a year ago. They are still going strong after so much use and washing! Love that I can just pop them into the washing machine to clean. We bought another brand of reusable bags that were lined with a plastic coating. I could never get them clean and they started to smell funky. I ended up throwing them away after about a month. The graze bags are worth every penny!!! We went the whole school year without a single plastic bag thanks to the graze bags. Love this company!! Organic fabric and prints, and everything is so darn cute looking, too. Gonna buy a lunch tote today for my daughter to use at her summer camp. Thanks, graze!!!

Naturepedic No Compromise Organic Cotton Ultra 252 Crib Mattress

Naturepedic No Compromise Organic Cotton Ultra 252 Crib MattressThis mattress has all the features I was looking for: organic cotton, no wool (I'm vegan), no latex (I'm allergic), waterproof without using lots of chemicals, and made in the USA. Aside from the hefty, hefty price tag (the mattress cost more than our crib! DaVinci Emily Convertible baby Crib White ), this mattress is a winner. I consider it a good investment in the health and safety of our baby, who will be spending a huge portion of his life on this mattress. And hopefully the quality will ensure that it lasts a long time. Buying a 4-in-1 crib should make it worth the price, since we can use this mattress when we convert the crib to a toddler bed. I checked the Naturepedic website to compare features, and I price-shopped, and these never seem to go on sale or have discounts, so be prepared.

This is a wonderful mattress! We bought 2. It's comforting to know that my children slept on chemical-free products.

Buy Naturepedic No Compromise Organic Cotton Ultra 252 Crib Mattress Now

Wanting only top quality items for our infant, we carefully reviewed all available research about mattresses available. The chemicals put into commercial mattresses are shocking, and they can off-gas for years. Considering the amount of time a baby/young child spends sleeping, it's not a risk worth taking.

This mattress is top quality, appears as such with excellent stitching and materials, is comfortable, durable (no "mattress pad" needed), wipes off easily with mild soap and water, and is an excellent investment in the health of our baby. It fits a standard size crib snuggly (no gaps). The cost is MUCH higher than commercially made crib mattresses, but an investment in health, and we will have it for many years as he moves from crib to toddler bed.

FAO Schwarz Baby Chef Cooker Food Processor

FAO Schwarz Baby Chef Cooker Food ProcessorMy baby was born in September of 2010 so I didn't start using my maker until early February 2011. Since then I have gone through two machines and the third one just broke two days ago! I never had any issues with the steamer part of the machine and it preformed as it was intended with no issues. All of my hatred towards this product is focused on the blender part; which in my opinion is the most important part of the machine! The first two machines I returned to the store (Babies R Us) was because the rubber ring seal came out of the blender during food processing and was chopped up into my baby's food. Wasted time, money and endangering my baby. The only reason I knew it happened was because I ran the food through a sieve and found the plastic pieces. After the seal was gone I still tried to use the machine but, of course, it then leaked everywhere every time I tried to process purees. The third machine, that broke two days ago, is now thrown in my garage! I went to snap the blender into the base for processing, as you have to use the blender because of a safety feature, and the doggone tab snapped off rendering the blender completely nonfunctioning! This whole experience with this product has been a costly hassle! I've since switched to a stick blender and the microwave for making my daughters food. It's actually less clean up, costs way less and is a heck of a lot less likely to break or ruin my baby's food. Don't waste your time with this product. But a $16 emersion blender!

When it comes to nutrition, I want the best for my son. So when I saw this baby food maker, I had to have it. Being on sale at Babies R Us was a plus! Originally about $150 bucks, I scored it for about $40. I used it last night and it is amazing. I sliced up some apples and placed them in the steam side, they were done in about 10 minutes. Perfectly fork tender. Then I placed them in the blender side and added some canned pumpkin to make pumpkin apples sauce. Its delicious, although my son is still getting used to the pumpkin taste.

Then for bed time I used the bottle warmer option and that worked perfect as well. The bottle wasn't too hot and it wasn't cold.

You have to read the directions though, there are a lot of parts to it. The water in the steam side does get hot so be careful. The blender side is a bit noisy, but it works well. Cleanup was easy. I cant wait to use it again!

Sadly I had the same issue others did...the plastic tab broke off the blender housing. Actually, it blew out spewing hot baby food in its wake. Wish I'd have read these reviews before I let my mom buy this for me as now it's been too long to return it.

I have done tons of research of home baby food systems, and was excited to find this also warms baby bottles. This is a feature not a systems have, and with my son still taking 3 bottles a day I was excited to find a "three in one" system. It warms bottles up in a short amount of time, and other than a small amount of brown residue left in the chamber from water deposits I am pleased. In the same chamber there is a steaming basket that allows you to steam vegetables before processing them. This process works well, all though it does require your attention as the water seeps up into the basket while cooking which shuts of the steaming. You have to carefully take the basket out, empty the reservoir back into the chamber, and put everything back. The processor works great on all fruits, and soft items. If you are working with something a little firmer, it takes a little shaking back and forth during processing to keep things going. I ended up letting avacados, carrots, etc. soften almost to "mush" before adding them and haven't had a problem since.

Overall I enjoy this system, but if I could go back I would have purchased the Cusinart baby food steamer, processor, and bottle warmer. The steamer, and processor is all in the same bowl, so it eliminates a step.

I have used it twice and the tab on the food processor lid broke. I didn't think it was a big deal. I couldn't be the only person to have the locking tab break. I have scoured the Internet and can't find a place to purchase just a new processor lid. this is ridiculous!! I like the steamer part, but have dual sides is useless now. I have to break out mt Cuisinart blender to finish preparing my baby food.

Ella's Kitchen Organic Baby Food Carrots Apples and Parsnips -- 3.5 fl oz

Ella's Kitchen Organic Baby Food Carrots Apples and Parsnips -- 3.5 fl ozI really wanted to like this product. I am trying to feed my 6 month old baby a variety of foods so he hopefully will not end up a picky eater, but we follow the "4 day wait" rule because my husband & I have some food allergies/sensitivities. I often cook homemade food but since I work, I appreciate the convenience of organic pre-made food. Our son had already eaten apples & carrots with no problem. What I missed in not reading the packaging (my fault I know) is that in addition to carrots, apples, and parsnips, this product also contains lemon juice. I happen to be sensitive to all citrus fruits. Obviously I'm not sure if it was the lemon juice or parsnip or what, but my son was quite sick for 2-3 days after the one time he ate this product. Blowing out his diaper every hour kind of sick. We are going to save the remaining containers we had purchased for when my son is a year old and hopefully by then any food sensitivities will have worn off. He gagged on the taste, though, so we will see. I gave it two stars instead of one because I plan on trying it again in six months.

I personally think that "stage 1" is misleading, because of the lemon juice additive. I certainly wouldn't give this to a 4 month old. Although I think most infants don't have a problem with citrus, it is not unheard of in causing digestive distress because of the high acidity. I also wanted to point out how important it is to read food packaging labels, because even if something implies specific ingredients on the front, there may be additional additives. I wish Amazon would post the ingredients on here.

This stuff is garbage and Ella's Kitchen should be ashamed for false advertising. I was really surprised to see a fruit-veggie product like this one had so much calcium (20%) on the package compared to most of the other baby fruits out there (usually 0-2% unless veggies or yogurt's added in) and chose this over other products, thinking the extra calcium would be worth the extra $ for my baby in the long run. When you check it against Ella's website, it HAS NO CALCIUM%! Same goes for all the other stage 1 Ella's fruits (butternut squash, carrots, apples, prunes: 30% calcium on package but 2% on the website, peaches and bananas 10% calcium on package vs. 0% on website all the same serving size) -there were other differences too in protein, iron, etc. It does cost a lot more than some of the other organic baby fruits out there and tastes awful. If your baby is just as content with the other less expensive organic baby fruits out there, go with the cheaper alternative because nutrition wise, Ella's no better!

What a disgusting marketing ploy by Ella's Kitchen to get parents to choose their products because it is falsely more nutritious when it's the same as other organic baby fruits in terms of nutritional value.

My daughter has tried nearly all the Ella, Sprout and Happy Baby varieties and this is one of her absolute favorites. She especially loves it ice cold. She is 8 mos old with 4 teeth and seems to prefer the texture of the Ellas as well as the stage 2 Sprout meals (not a huge fan yet of the stage 3 much chunkier Sprout meals but like the Happy Tot ones)Today, she was sucking one down on the go in the infant carrier and in trying to avoid getting it all over me, I licked off some extra and man, this has a pretty pronounced parsnip flavor (a little on the radish side but not spicy) carrot is easily tasted. Not nearly as good as some other flavors I love and she doesnt seem one way or the other about but SHE LOVES IT!!! I wish they sold boxes of it on amazon, which is how I buy the Sprout meals.

Dabur Lal Tail 100ml (Pack of 6)

Dabur Lal Tail 100mlI have used this oil for a little over a month and we have noticed a very visible difference in my Son's skin. He had a lot of rashes (owing to AZ weather) and after we started using this, it has all but disappeared. I ordered a few more to last us for 2 months or so. Wish they made it in larger containers.
