Melissa & Doug Bella Butterfly Mealtime Set

Melissa & Doug Bella Butterfly Mealtime SetGrandaughter loves it, as do I. I like the size of the fork and spoon, a bit bigger which fits a 2 year old hand better.

My 4 year old niece screamed of joy when she opened this. It also comes with a couple big coloring pages. So cute!

Healthy Times Vanilla Teethers

Healthy Times Vanilla TeethersThese are great and, unlike a lot of other biscuits, large pieces don't start to break off when it gets wet. My little boy started with these when he was about 6 months and he LOVES them. Of course the ingedients are all organic which is great. They are messy, but from my experience pretty much anything you feed a baby has that potential.

Beaba Soft Plate Set - Stackable with Slip Resistant Base, Set of 3

Beaba Soft Plate Set - Stackable with Slip Resistant Base, Set of 3These plates are GREAT! The only reason I did not give them 5 stars is because they are sooo overpriced. I haven't tried any other slip resistant plates or bowls so I can't compare. But we did try the suction cup bowls and they didn't work for us. My 16 month old was fascinated with how the bowls would stick to the table and then food would go flying when he got them up. These are deep enough to use as bowls. I give my son cold cereal in them for breakfast.

UPDATE: We've been using these for over a year now. Yes, we are still using them!! They are nearly impossible to tip over and low on the side which is GREAT for kids learning to use silverware. A lifesaver with cold cereal. I put them in the bottom rack of the dishwasher and they haven't warped or changed shape at all. In fact, they look nearly as good as the day I opened the box and we use them everyday.

I purchased these because they are microwaveable and dishwashwer safe. They don't sit completely flat, but it isn't a huge deal. The useable portion of this plate is pretty small but the entire this is big and takes a lot of room. I also purchased the bowls which I like a lot more. They serve their purpose and can be put in the microwave and diswashwer. In the grand scheme of things, its a plate. It does what it is supposed to do.

I purchased this on an impulse, after finding them on Amazon. I am pleased with the purchase. They are really plates and bowls! The body of the plate is at least 1/2 an inch deep and able to hold cereal and other liquids. One of my concerns is that while the plates are slip resistant, there is not enough of a base that comes in contact with the table surface to really be slip resistant. Also, when washed in the bottom of the dishwasher the plates warped. Directions did not indicate top shelf only.

When my daughter started eating cereal I read a lot of reviews about bowls. I originally wanted something with a suction cup but then came across these. I was apprehensive when I ordered them, especially since they are not cheap but I really like them. They are called plates but I use them as bowls. They look nice, have a nice wide base that makes them very stable and they are really very solid. I read a review that they rock a little, and they do a bit but that does not matter to me, they are very stable none the less. I purchased the spoon/fork set as well and they work nicely with these plates because they are curved so they will rest on the edge of the plate without falling into the food.

I love these so much because of the grip! Also because they serve as a bowl (enough depth) and as a plate (enough length). It fits a good amount of food for a hungry little two year old boy.

Infantino Keeper Squeeze Pouch

Infantino Keeper Squeeze PouchThese are absolutely amazing. I got the 2-pack, and use them almost every day for yogurt smoothies. The container opening is about 1" diameter, which makes it easy to spoon or funnel smoothies in (and wash afterwards). The orange spout is about the diameter of a straw, which allows the passage of slightly chunky things. Both the orange spout and the white lid screw on and seal well, which means that I don't have to worry about it popping open in my purse.

My daughter (9 months old) needs help to keep from squeezing them everywhere, but she has the same problem with all of the expensive, pre-packaged fruit pouches as well. The biggest downside is that it's difficult to get the last teaspoon out, even for me.

I just started solids with my third child and I bought 4 of these pouches for feeding him. This is by far the greatest thing to come to home made baby food. The pouches seal tightly so I can throw them into my diaper bag and take them with us when we go out. A total necessisity for the third child! Every time someone sees these pouches they stop and ask about them and want to get them for their own baby or someone they know with a small one. My son loves eating from the pouches with a spoon attached and now gets mad if I take to long getting more food into him when he eats out of an ordinary bowl with a spoon instead. I wish these were available with my older two. I also have the disposable pouches and filling station which are great when making large batches of stuff and freezing but for day to day these refillable pouches are a must. It is also nice that they can be filled with a funnel and I don't have to use the whole filling station. The best thing is that the breast shields from my breast pump sits on the top and makes a great funnel for filling.

This is a fantastic product and has saved me a ton of money. We use ours on a daily basis and it is holding up great. I only use it for applesauce, so I can't say for sure how well it would come clean if you filled it with something fattier like yogurt, but with the applesauce it comes clean very easily. If you happen to have a 60 cc catheter tip syringe lying around, you can use that to fill these pouches (if it's a smooth puree) and bypass the squeeze station entirely. Also, we managed to lose the while lidif this happens, you can use one of the orange lids from the other infantino pouches, they will fit.

I had such high hopes for this but honestly its VERY disappointing! I have an 18 month old and she was doing well getting the food out until she was half way done, then the middle of the pouch was flattened and the rounded parts were a bugger to flatten to get the rest of the stuff out! I used it once and gave up!! WHAT A WASTE of 8 bucks!! I love the disposable pouches but I think Infantino really failed when they designed the reusable pouches!!

Sugarbooger Peek-A-Boo Silverware Set, Blue Berry

Sugarbooger Peek-A-Boo Silverware Set, Blue BerryI've lost so many silverware sets by leaving them at restaurants. So this time I decided to buy something that's nicer in hopes that I'll be careful not to leave them.

Well this does it! It's a nice set so I a more careful! I also purchased a pair of Zoli ceramic scissors and it fits in this case perfectly with the utensils. I did buy an extra set just in case though.

Organic Cotton 2 in 1 Ultra/Quilted Mattress Sets

Naturepedic Twin 2 in 1 Ultra/Quilted SetWe bought this mattress for our 2-year old's "big kid" room. He has been in it for about a week, and we love it. No noticeable smell or off-gassing, even right out of the packaging. We've had one test of the waterproof qualities of the toddler side, and it worked like a charm. I can see this mattress lasting for many years hopefully until he's a teenager ready to leave home!

Note that it seems to be a bit heavier than a traditional mattress, so moving this full-size mattress is definitely a 2-person job. This came into play when it was delivered curbside and my husband needed to get it from the curb into the house....
