Grandma El's Diaper Rash Remedy and Prevention Tube

This stuff is thick and very oily so be sure you using it sparingly.

I suggest only using it with disposable diapers and only in extreme cases. Too much will irritate the skin more because it won't dry effectively and it leave the baby's bottom slick and cause more harm than good.

However for very bad diaper rash, a dash of this will do wonders. It soothes on contact and really helps calm the child down which any parents knows can be a huge chore! I have been kept up for hours from a screaming baby....

Don't forget about the mom though! We suffer too. Another baby must I can't do without is nipple cream. Motherlove makes a really great baby-safe formula (Motherlove Nipple Cream + FREE Aveeno Baby Daily Moisture Lotion Fragrance Free 8 oz.) which absorbs quickly and helps heal cracks and soreness from breastfeeding. The same screams come out of my daughter's mouth when she's hungry as when she's irritated so I can't live without cream for her or me!

I was not hopeful when I ordered this. I only bought it because I needed something that was cloth diaper safe, because I was sick of using liners. Despite using cloth diapers, and changing diapers every 2 hours, my daughter had a near constant red, dry, bumpy bottom. "Some babies just have constant rash" people told me. Every night, I dutifully slathered my daughters bottom with zinc oxide cream (I have seemingly tried them all thanks to baby samples and gifts, we also went through a whole lot). Almost from the moment we started to use Grandma El's her redness cleared right up. I could NOT believe it. I also started to put Grandma El's under her mouth and chin, and the rash she had developed from her constant spittle also cleared up.

Some more pros:

* Smells wonderfully sweet, but not perfume-y.

* Much easier to wipe off your hands than zinc oxide cream.

* Goes on clear.

* A little goes a long way.

* Fully cloth diaper safe!

* Very cute packaging, looks like a boutique baby product.

If you cloth diaper, this is a must have. If you have tried everything and your baby still has redness, give this a try!

I can't compare this to other products because we used this from day one and never looked back. As we were expecting our twins, a friend with kids gave this to us as a gift and said she swore by it. Anytime there has been even a threat of a rash, we apply this and it's gone in the morning. Haven't run into any rash yet that Grandma El's can't handle. As an added benefit, it's easy to put on and doesn't leave your hands smelling or oily.

I love this. It's great for clearly up rashes quickly. 100% cloth friendly. Also great for eczema, chapped lips and skins, and dry scaling skin.

Ever since I discovered this product, I couldn't imagine using another rash cream. Even my husband has been impressed with it. My 18 month old has extremely sensitive skin, so we put this on her every night to prevent rashes.

I cloth diaper and have only 2 nighttime diapers (Happy Hempys) so they get used A LOT of heavy use. Despite using this cream every night for months, it has not caused any repelling issues in the diapers. (I'm not sure if this helps, but I use Charlies. While I recently moved and now have soft water, my last home did not, and we still did not have any issues.)

The scent is nice. It reminds me of the Strawberry Shortcake dolls from the 1980's. I did a check on the scent they use on the EWG website and it is non-toxic. In fact, I checked out ALL of the ingredients and they all score a 0 1 (out of 10) so it's a product I can feel completely comfortable using on my baby.

The best part about this stuff is that it works wonders. If my baby gets diarrhea, she will get a rash every time. I use a bit of this stuff and it clears up faster than anything else I've used.

I really wish I would have known about this product when my first two children were babies and when my baby was a newborn.

Plum Organics - Organic Baby Food Apple & Carrot 6+ months - 4.22 oz.

I bought this set for my 3-year old. The set looked good because it was a combination of different items but the set was just too cheaply made and parts did not last past the first day. It was cheap, but it would have been better to invest in a die cast single set for the same price.

[Award winning] Kidsme Food Feeder (Small size)

This product is great! My baby daughter loves it so much and she smiles 10x time more when she's holding on to this kidsme feeder[Award winning] Kidsme Food Feeder (Small size) than she sees new toys.

Also, my wife and I both agreed with other reviewers here that this product is much more easy to use and clean to use (less messy when compare with other similar product). we are getting one for my brother-in-law baby as well as this will make our cute baby happier than ever!

great product and money well spent!

I bought this feeder because my 6 month old son always was grabbing at my food and trying to eat my apple, pear, etc when I was eating and he has always stuck everything in his mouth since he was really little, probably partially due to teething. He has taken right to using this and it keeps him happy for a while when we are in public and I want to wait a bit to nurse him (by the way he has never taken to a pacifier but took to this the first time). During the hectic mornings I give this to him with slices of fruit and he happily feeds himself breakfast while I get my other son ready. It's super easy to clean and transport I just take it empty and pack an apple in my bag and then bite of a piece for him when he gets hungry and let him chew away. I only wish the handles were a little bigger as they seem a little small to me, but this hasn't caused an issue for my son holding the feeded on his own. Thanks Kidsme for a great product!

I should have checked the reviews before buying. Most reviewers only have this 1 review. Hmmm... Anyways, the holes are too big and too many for young infants. My 5 1/2 month old put it in her mouth, nibbled once, then gagged. I tested it and found that quite a bit comes out. I can just squeeze the feeder and see too much gushing out. It's good portion for babies used to solids, but not for ones being introduced to solids. Maybe for an older infant it might be better? Grandma noted that the gagging might also be due to the length of the silicone portion (too long). The length would be fine if the width was wider. The width is about an inch...ummm that means babies can shove the whole thing in their mouth. I truly don't suggest this for 4 months and up like stated in the product description...more like 7 months and up. Pros: It's a good concept. It was easy to clean. Daughter held it easily in both hands. Hope that helps with anyone considering to purchase.

I was really excited about getting this food feeder because my 5 1/2 months old baby liked sucking on fresh fruit (like apples or pears) but i was always scared that she might choke on it if a big piece gets in her throat. I tried to put pieces of apple in the feeder and give it to her but she didn't like it and just spit it. You have to really squeeze it to get some fruit come out. Maybe it's because my baby never took pacifiers or bottles, she just doesn't like any plastic stuff in her mouth. The feeder looks very cute though and easy to hold for little hands. Also it's easy to clean. I'm hoping to try using it again when my baby starts teething. Who knows maybe she'll take it and as well as a bottle eventually.

I ordered this thinking it would be the same, or about the same at least, size as the Munchkin Brand Mesh Feeders.

I really like the idea of the Munchkind Mesh Feeders but they are a nightmare to clean and I thought this would be easier to clean and keep clean.

However, It's so small, not even a piece of banana would fit! The width of the "food holder" is about the width of my thumb. It wouldn't hold a strawberry, a piece of a banana (unless cut lengthways) or most other fruit.

I will be returning this for the larger size, but seriously? What would any one put in these? I say you skip the small and go straight to the large.

I love the way this set has everything you need for making baby food. No BPA in any pieces so you can freeze and heat directy in the jars that are included. It has made making baby food really fun!

In all, its alright and a little on the prciey side. Its good for on the go. My only complaint is that the processor doesn't blend very well. When making my baby's food, there are still little chunks that are in there. Besides, that, its good.

Fisher-Price Laugh and Learn: Learning Kitchen

This is one of my son's Fisher-Price toys that he actually plays with. He is 17 months and is not interested in things that just make noise and flash lights anymore. With this toy he practices putting the shapes through the holes, turning on and off the light, putting the food on the shelf in the fridge, and putting the pan on the stove, in the oven, and in the sink. We also ask him questions and talk to him about the toy so he learns various foods and kitchen items. All toys are more fun for kids when you interact with them!

With four settings, I don't get as tired of listening to this toy as I do others each setting has different phrases and music that keep it interesting for the child and adult. I don't think he'll play with it for too much longer, but we will probably get it out again as soon as our next child can sit up.

After reading other reviews, I also wanted to say that our son has never pinched his fingers in the door and spends a good amount of time opening, closing, and moving the kitchen around. He used to pinch his fingers all the time in our real kitchen cabinets, so maybe this is a live and learn thing.

The only thing I would change is a way to keep it closed and a handle so it could be moved around with the pieces inside.

UPDATE: My son continued to play A LOT with this toy until he was 26 months old and we bought him a Kidkraft wooden kitchen. Even then he still played with this for a few weeks until I finally put it away. Granted, he is very into kitchen/cooking type activities, but I really think you can't go wrong with this toy from about 6 months and on, for boys or girls! We spent many hours playing with this together.

I was hesitant to buy this toy after reading reviews about babies' fingers getting smashed. I'm a hand surgeon, so the whole smashing fingers thing goes against most of my principles! However, the kitchen looked so fun that I thought I'd give it a shot, and return it if the risk was real. I closely supervised my 8 month old for a few weeks she totally loved all the songs and sound effects, but never got fingers caught anywhere. Though, her favorite thing to do is swipe down all the "groceries" (comes with milk, carrots, and ketchup) that I stack on the shelf of the fridge door.

I tried to close my own fingers in the door, and really couldn't figure out how this could smash fingers. I compared the toy we received to the one in the manufacturer pics ... the door has been redesigned since those pics were taken (I'm assuming in response to the finger-smashing thing). You can see the difference in multiple pictures, but especially the 4th one from the left on the Amazon site that's kind of an oblique view with the door closed. The white part of our door is cut so that there's a 2 inch segment that can actually touch the blue base, but the remainder of the door has a space so that fingers can't get caught.

Reviewers also commented that their kids knocked the kitchen over. My little girl did that a few times at first when she didn't know how to swing to door of the fridge open on the hinge. Once she figured it out, it didn't topple except when she pushed it over on purpose we can tell by her giggles and proud face. I only gave 4 stars because the "range" on the first kitchen we got didn't play music when you pressed it. The range on the second one worked, but the ball above it that you roll (which happened to be one of her fave parts of the first fridge) didn't play music reliably. So, a little lacking on the quality control, but still worth it once you get one that is fully functional.

If you have Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Baby's First Blocks, the round, triangular, and square blocks from this set also fit through the door in the fridge part of the kitchen!

Just noticed the current selling price is the retail price... I happened to get this for 40-50% off, which is a good value and what I think the toy is actually worth. Not sure that it's worth the full retail value, especially when I've gone through 2 that don't work 100%.

This toy REALLY held my 10 month olds interest, she loves it BUT she has smashed her fingers twice in less than a week! It opens and closes too easily, the fridge door is too light compared to the sink side and when slightly moved one side always falls shut on the other. Since she likes to move it around her little hands keep getting caught. All babies are curious and cannot be expected to leave a toy sitting where you leave it. Since she is so entertained with it we took the center hinge out so that she can still play with the two separate parts.

I read on the saftey issues other people had and adjusted the toy:

Put the hard side of velcro on the bottom of the toy so it will "cacth" on carpet. This will hold the toy in place and it wont topple over as easily. If you have hard wood, simply apply the soft side of the velcro to where your child plays with the toy (its just tape and will come off when cleaned). As for the pinching finger, if you have the toy on foam flooring, it makes it not so easy to close the fridge door.. child hasnt pinched fingers for the months she has played with it.

This is a very cute toy. My 1 year old daughter got it for her bday and enjoys playing with it. The only real issue with it is that the two sides fold up too easily and her fingers get caught in between the two pieces and she of course cries. I've taken it away from her for now until she gets older or we figure out a solution to it not closing on her fingers. I've read some reports of the same thing happening to other little ones so I'm not alone on this.

Nuby 4 Pack Embossed Round Flat Plate, Colors May Vary

I have toddler plates divided into 3 sections (can't remember if they're nuby or munchkin), and though I like them, they just. don't. stack. I still like the divided plates for dinner, but for sandwiches, pancakes, etc....these are great, and they stack!!! Hold up great in the dishwasher (top rack only) and cute!

The whole line of Fun Drinking Cups, Bowls & Plates come in assortment of bright fun colors and are the perfect size whether your child is just learning to eat by themselves or is an old pro like my 3 year old. They are extremely durable, and I love that they are ok to use in the microwave and top rack of the dishwasher. They are the perfect size for my preschooler and the best is I don't have to worry about her breaking them when she's trying "to help" put her dishes in the sink.

Nice size for kids and even for myself for lunchtime.

Mommys Helper No Mess Splat Mat, Printed

It is a very thin piece of Vinyl. It is not what I expected at all. When I out it on the ground it was curled, it last about a week, then I just threw it away. You could just throw a garbage bag on the floor it is pretty much the same thing.

I knew I wouldn't be getting much for the price, but I didn't expect a printed piece of clear vinyl that is little more than a drop cloth that slips and slides around on both floor and carpet. If, somehow, we are able to get all the folds out, and maybe use velcro or double-sided tape to hold it in place, it may do the job as advertised. Otherwise, we're gonna have to ditch it. Save your money for something else.

This mat is cute, but almost completely ineffective. It is made out of very thin plastic, which means that it has no weight. It is nearly impossible to sweep which means that you have to pick it up and dump it into the trash after every meal or wash it in the sink. It is also VERY slippery and the only time it stays in place is when the high chair is directly on top of it. Even then, the corners fly up making it difficult to keep in place.

In hindsight, I would have saved my money and bought something more substantial.

This product is a glorified trash bag. The plastic is flimsy and doesn't lay flat as pictured the creases are still in it from the folds for shipping now weeks later. I wish it were more durable, it's a great idea just a cheap execution. There are so many better solutions not the least of which is wiping off the floor every night. Sheesh!

When buying this product I was expecting a heavier weight plastic to go under the high chair. The mat is a very light plastic that does not lay flat. When you lay it down it does not stay in place and is very slick when you out the high chair on it or if anyone steps on it.

Kidalog Baby Food Mill Grinder

How is this different from every other manual baby food mill on the market?

-It is more expensive

-It takes longer to arrive

-Shipping is brutal

-It lacks a chic carrying case

-It will not leave dark metal residue on your baby's food

-It does not leak like a sieve when you use it

-It can grind meat easily

-There is not a solid one-half to full inch of food waste left in the body of the tube

-You will not contemplate suicide while using it

-It actually works

I've only had it for a few days. So I can't rate the long term durability.

But I have tried it with one of the vegetables, that I thought would be a healthy test:

steamed asparagus. Did a side-by-side test of my KidCo mill next to this Kidalog Mill, and the Kidalog Mill did decidedly better. Since it has both a metal strainer plate and a metal sweeper, it seems to really cut the food rather than perform as an over-glorified "ricer".

Comes with metal strainer plate, metal sweeper, and another strainer. Didn't use the strainer (too fine of a mesh for most things). Seems more sturdy built larger base for better/easier pressing.

We've had this grinder for about 8 months now and use it weekly or more. Once I removed the fine strainer it was perfect for every soft food imaginable.

If I could change one thing I'd just make it bigger our little girl is a big eater. ; )

Mimijumi Baby Bottle

I LOVE THIS BOTTLE. My daughter refused every bottle Babies R Us had to offer. But this bottle did the trick. Not only did she love it but my family got a smile out of it too. Sometimes when she used it in public it got double takes and I was embarassed at first but then I got over it and people did too. As long as the bottle did not have a drop of formula in it she would never push it away. If you have a breastfed baby who refuses bottles and are desperate for a bottle it is worth a try. I only bought one to test but I was back for more.

I'm going back to work and have been worried about my son, who has been EBF for the last 4 months, taking a bottle. He is being reintroduced to it and refused the Tommee Tippee line that he had previously used as well as the Medela (he never liked those). I got this praying that it would be a success and it has been! I've used it four times in the two days that I've had it and he's loved it!

Things I like:

1. more realistic in the shape than other bottles. I'm still nursing since I'm only working part-time, and I don't want him to get confused.

2. I've noticed that there is very little air intake as it's difficult to get any burps afterwards (my son is an easy baby to burp, I basically just have to sit him upright).

3. Not that this matters, but the milk carton packaging was cute.

4. Ease of construction. There's the bottle, the one piece nipple cap (nice to not have to worry about putting the nipple in the ring and making sure the seal is just right.), the rubber bottom, and the bottle cap if you're travelling. Basically you just have to take the top off, then put back on after you fill it.

5. I just use the slowest flow since I don't want my son getting too lax in effort put forth nursing. This truly seems like a slow flow nipple and when tipped I'm not needing to rush to put it in his mouth to avoid getting milk everywhere.

Things that could be improved:

1. Sometimes my son makes those loud sucking noises, but only some of the time. I have to fight with him because he wants to hit the bottle and as a result it moves around a lot (he's an active nurser as well so this isn't a reaction to the bottle; it's just that the breast isn't as mobile as the bottle!).

2. I've seen other reviewers say that they would like not only a realistic shape, but color as well. Not that this is the case with me, but considering how my son was eyeing up the bottle as I set it on the counter to prep as if to say "Hey that looks familiar," I could see how if you're a darker skinned mama and you give this bottle to your baby, it might confuse him even more! It wouldn't hurt to have a variety if you're going the realistic route.

Things I've read that I haven't had a problem with:

1. Cap securityseems pretty stable to me and I haven't had any issues with it falling off.

2. Angle of the bottle. My son has always nursed and taken a bottle lying pretty flat, so the bottle isn't really being tipped at the end, the angle works for us. I don't have any problem getting all of the milk taken.

3. Inverted oz/ml markings. Since the bottle is at an angle, and every caregiver holds bottles differently, I don't really see how inverted markings will help you or really why they are necessary at all. I give my son as much as is pumped from one breast (he usually only takes one at a time), and feed him until he's drained the bottle or otherwise says he's done like falls asleep, etc.

4. No leaking from the bottle itself and very little from his mouth. The leaking from the corners of his mouth are only when my son is moving around per my previous statement.

All in all I am pleased with this and am not embarrassed by the design. It's more embarrassing to show your real breast in public, which I am not embarrassed to do for feeding purposes. I will be getting the very hungry bottle most likely soon.

My exclusively breast feeder had me extremely worried when he refused 6 different brands of bottles. I was at my wits end and had to extend my maternity leave by an extra week because he refused so many bottles. I tried Nuk (refused), Dr. Brown's (refused), Medela (refused), Born Free (refused), Playtex (refused), Tommy Tippee (refused). I was so concerned because didn't want him to be forced to drink from a bottle due to extreme hunger.

I started my search and came across this bottle and saw that the nipple actually resembled the boob. It was expensive but I was willing to pay any dollar amount to find the perfect bottle for my 3month old.

When it came, I took the nipple off and stuck it in his mouth and he kept it in. Every other nipple (to include pacifiers) he would immediately spit it out. That night my hubby fed him and he took it. It has been 2weeks since we have had this bottle and he is even taking the bottle from me. Because he is now taking a bottle, he is amenable to the pacifier which he didn't take before (although is favorite is MaM and I have quite a few which he refused).

I only gave it 4stars because the cap is very difficult to put on. I struggle with it a lot. I now realized that the easiest way to get the cap on is to loosen the nipple, snap on the cap and then tighten. The cap is also easy to get on if you put it on directly on the nipple and the screw on to the bottle.

Thanks for making such a great product. It would be delightful if it is sold in stores and not only online!

My 11 week old is refusing bottles and of course I go to work in 2 weeks. We've been trying the last two weeks with no success. I had high hopes for this bottle. I actually love it & think my son might have taken it had the nipple not have been so hard! The boob part is awesome because it sits on his face like the breast but the nipple should be soft like moms nipple. I also don't understand why bottle companies make areolas? When breastfeeding almost all the areola is in the mouth, this part is also soft. I think the company should offer softer latex nipples. On the positive side, my baby refuses but doesn't gag like the other bottles we used.

Update: I got in contact with mimijumi, they now make softer nipples & they mailed me 2 free nipples. They are much better and we are still practicing. My son chews and one on a while an occasional suck. Overall its a good bottle, the lid is tricky & if not placed on correctly can cause it to leak. My son has done the best with this one, I guess we have to keep trying & praying for him to take it efficiently.
