Bandette Cup and Bottle Labels

Label Itz Bandette Cup and Bottle Labels, Zoo AnimalsThese labels are not easy to write on and the ink will rub off. They are also a little too wide and slide off smaller bottles (Dr. Brown's 4 oz). I definitely should have splurged on a better product. Check out inchbug.com 4 for $13, but the name won't rub off!

I bought these specifically to go on my infant son's bottle because he has a milk allergy and absolutely must have breastmilk, not formula. These do not even come close to fitting on the medela 5 or 8 oz. bottles. Nor do I see how they could fit most other brands of baby bottles. Sippy cups yes, baby bottles no.

I bought these to put on my bottles for daycare. The package says on it that it fits bottles, but they just slide off the Dr. Brown bottles. They would be good for sippy cup size, but that is not what I bought them for. If I had known that they don't fit bottles, I would not have bought these.

I love it. I don't have to write on my bottles anymore. I don't end up with ink all over me anymore.

I bought these so my daycare could write on them instead of marking up my bottles. They work for that purpose, but since I use DrBrown bottles, they do not fit my bottles. They are a little to big for DrBrown bottles. However they do fit my toddler's sippy cups very well.

Quaker Oatmeal Squares Crunchy Oatmeal Cereal 58 Ounce Value Box

Quaker Oatmeal Squares Crunchy Oatmeal Cereal 58 Ounce Value BoxThis cereal is great with milk or eaten plain. It is one of those cereals that you can put in a baggie and take with you for a snack. It's also very filling.

I wrote a comment on one of the reviewers because her review was misleading. This comment was erased somehow, so I am clarifying with my own review.

Someone wrote that each bite had a heaping dose of sodium. One serving of this cereal has 150 mg of sodium which is equal to a dash and a half of salt. This person also said that each one is bound together with a 1/4 tsp. of sugar. A serving has about 7 grams of sugar which is equal to about a teaspoon and a half. Each serving has about 65 pieces in it so that means that each piece of cereal has just a sprinkling of sugar.

The "healthy" shake mentioned by a reviewer has over twice the amount of sodium and about 5 times the amount of sugar as a serving of this cereal. This shake recipe was changed when I mentioned how much sugar was in her "healthy" shake. It previously included an orange. The nutritional facts on this shake were not mentioned.

I have no problem with someone giving their honest opinion about something but I have a big problem when a person is so misleading about the facts.

This is one of my favorite cereals because it is substantial, not overly sweet, and it gives me energy until lunch. I even eat them dry as a snack sometimes.

It might be a bit bland for some people, so if you like sweet or flavored cereals, you might go with something other than the brown sugar version.

I was surprised when I went to open the box of cereal and noticed that it expired... TWO months ago! I don't even want to know how long this was sitting around before it got shipped to me. Sad state of quality control since I am not the first reviewer to receive an expired box.

Nuby 6 Piece Embossed Bowls

Pediasure Pediasure Nutrition Drink Berry Cream

Pediasure Berry, 8-OunceMy son has been breast fed since day one. When it was time to change him to milk, he refused to drink it and would spit it out. I tried chocolate boost shakes and he didn't like those. So I thought I'd get him something more fruity because he loves juice. He was hesitant at first, but now drinks it up. I'm so glad, note I don't have to worry he isn't getting the right nutrition!

Same as the stuff you can buy at a store, but less price and I don't have to leave the home, especially with the repeating shipments offered.

OXO Tot Feeding Spoon Set

OXO Tot Feeding Spoon Set, AquaI like these spoons a lot:

-my hand doesn't cramp,

-silicone coat is save for baby's mouth, softer than plastic (my son can safely play with it),

-dishwasher safe; no sings of wear at all after 5 months of everyday use so far,

-deep enough to scoop food and liquid, but not that deep to leave some food after every bite (like Munchkin colorful 6 pack).

As a 39 1/2 year old 6 foot tall foster mother with large hands and a 9 month old...these spoons are perfect. I had been using the long Gerber ones with the incredibly thin handle and my hands would literally cramp mid meal. A touch of early arthritis doesn't help. I already know I'm getting up there but I really don't appreciate a spoon reminding me of it. Never would have spent this much on spoons but didn't hesitate when I saw them in a store. Used one for the first time today and I think a tear of joy rolled down my cheek.

Finally baby spoons that are not only soft on my baby's mouth but also help swipe all the last bits of food out of the bowl...like a built in spatula! They are especially good for getting the last bits of yogurt out of the small containers (a huge pet peeve of mine before I found these spoons). The spoon head is also a bit deeper than most other brands so it helps to keep the food inside the spoon and not on the floor. Overall great design and functionality two thumbs up.

These are the first spoons that I purchased for my 6 month old son. Though the shape of the spoon is perfect for a little mouth, the silicone coating began to break off in small pieces and tear from my son biting down on the spoon once or twice during a feeding.

It is very unfortunate that these spoons cannot withstand little teeth and I had to throw them away. I would recommend reading reviews of other spoons as I am doing now to try to find a soft spoon that will not break and tear so easily. I am very disappointed in OXO Tot and the quality of this spoon, particularly since I was willing to pay more for the two pack of spoons in order to get a superior quality which is not the case.

Want OXO Tot Feeding Spoon Set Discount?

Even though I found $6.99 for 2 spoons to be on the steeper side, I do not regret buying these spoons.

The spoon has a very good angle which makes it easier to feed. I also purchased plastic munchkins spoons for much cheaper (just so I can compare) that I don't really use since I bought the OXO spoons. The silicone tip is also great because while introducing solids to a 6 month old, she tends to bite the spoon (accidentally) and it doesn't hurt her gums. I really love this spoon and I don't think I will need any other kind! Highly recommended!!!

UPDATE: I bought these spoons in Green, Blue and Orange. The BLUE spoons have started changing colors a bit and it happened to my friend's as well. It's starting to turn a little green? Is this safe? I wonder if they'd let me return the blue ones even though they are used...I've used it less than 10 times before it changing colors.

The First Years 6 Pack Ziploc Toddler Bowl, 8 Ounce

The First Years 6 Pack Ziploc Toddler Bowl, 8 OunceI was excited to try the twist-on lids. What a disappointment and waste of $. The lids are IMPOSSIBLE to get off.

I have had 3 other people try (in case I was doing something wrong??) and nobody can get the lids off.

I bought 2 packs since they were on sale 2 packs/$9. I thought maybe the first package was defective. Nope.

I guess the one plus is that they are recyclable so that I don't throw them in the garbage, I can throw them in the recycling.

I can't believe how poor this product is :-(

I like these but the lids are sometimes difficult to get off, I tend to pop them off instead of twist them off but they work great for crackers and cereal and dropping in my purse to have handy for my daughter and not worry about it opening up like the ones with the pop on tops.

Great quality product, sturdy container. Great idea of a twist lock twist to open cover which makes it more spill proof and child proof.

Designed for toddler 'cause they're easy open, I use them to pre-mix my morning smoothie. I use about 4.5 oz of dry items plus I add additional vitamins & minerals. I purchased 5 sets of these and I fill them up, snap the lids on, and store them in the fridge. They make my morning prep time quick and easy. I absolutely LOVE them!!

This baby food is really yummymy husband and I were eating with our son and so I decided that I was going to make this for our dinner too. I pulled out kale, black beans and corn and sauteed some zucchini and then tossed it with brown rice. We all had dinner together!

My son eats these several times a week. super healthy and without any fruit or sugary ingredients which is hard to find.

Finding premade food for poplars somewhat of a challenge. I have not found a lot that either I like or they like. This one and the others in the series seem to fit the bill nicely. I like the principal of the brand, I like the ingredients it's made with, and after tasting it I can say that I even like the taste of most of the food. Though this one in particular I'm not real fond of myself.

Finding vegetarian toddler food with complete protein is somewhat tricky. While we feed our children mostly the foods that we eat some other foods that we make special just for them, there are times when prepackaged foods are a necessity and when that happens I'm really glad that we have something like this to turn to.

I taste all his foods and this is much better than the jarred variety. I love the more sophisticated ingredients than typical baby food. I don't think it should be given low stars just because a baby won't eat ithow about YOU actually try it to see what it's like. This is good enough that I wish they made a less puréed adult version. It's an excellent combo of veggies and one of the best options out there for babies in terms of nutrition.

Like the progression of the puzzle (starts with a 3 piece and ends with a 6 piece). Sturdy pieces that will hold up well.

Gerber Graduates BPA Free Bunch-A-Bowls with Lids, Colors May Vary

Gerber Graduates BPA Free 4 Pack Bunch-A-Bowls with Lids, Colors May VaryI purchased these bowls because I wanted BPA-free products that I can use to transport food when we travel or eat out. The bowls hold 8oz and the lids snap on with a click and are not flimsy at all. I put them on the top shelf of the dishwasher and so far neither the lids or the bowls have changed form. I make most of my own baby food. I have two Boon Spoons which are great for purees but I use these bowls for thicker foods that I can't squeeze out of. When my baby gets older, these will also be great to hold dry snacks in too. Great product for the price, considering the Munchkin bowls are the same price without lids. Highly recommend.

Update: After a few months these bowls continue to hold up well after being dropped many times by my 13mo old and washed many time in the dishwasher (upper rack.) The lids still fit perfect and the seal is so tight you can put liquid foods in them or keep dry foods (like cheerios, crackers) from getting stale. Great value!

I agree with many of the other reviewers, the bowls are great. They hold up well, the lids are tight (so that even if you were to put a liquid in the bowl it still doesn't leak) and they are just the right size for feeding my little one and holding in my hand. Easy to scoop the food out of them.

I haven't really put them in microwave much so can't comment on how they would hold up. I washed them in the dishwasher though (top rack) and they still look great and retained the original shape.

For those of you who maybe are curious about the dimensions of the bowls (as I was before I bought them) here it is:

* 4.5" wide at the top (the diameter) and about 3" at the bottom;

* about 1.5" deep.

I got the same colors that are in the picture (green, blue, reddish/orange and purple).

Highly recommended!

These bowls are exactly as they look on picture. You can use them to store food but they are too light to be used for feeding (you have to chase them on table and they are easily knocked by curious babies). If you are looking for feeding bowls I recommend more bulky bowls.

I like these bowls for sending lunch items for my preschooler they are solid and a nice size. Over time, the lids tended to disappear, so I purchased a new package, mainly because I need the covers. When they arrived, I found that the package contained 4 bowls, but only 3 solid lids, the 4th lid is "vented", only usable for microwaving it is not leakproof or airtight. I wish this was clearly stated in the description. 4 stars for the bowls, but 3 stars for the description and misleading packaging.

I started using these bowls about a month ago when my little fellow turned 6 months old. Initially, I was only using these once per day with his morning cereal. However, now that I have been introducing more foods to my son, I use these 3 times per day.

I prepare my own baby food and use these to thaw the frozen cubes of food. The lids are truly an asset is this respect. They seal really tightly.

The set of bowls come with a green, purple, blue & red bowl. Each bowl will hold 8 oz of liquid.

I am toying with the idea of ordering a 2nd set so I don't have to worry about constantly hand washing them. I like for the dishwasher to do that job instead. I've tried these in the microwave for about 20 seconds and they hold up pretty well. I'm not sure how well they would hold up beyond that because I haven't had the need to heat up my baby's food beyond that.

I really recommend them.

Stokke Tray, White

Stokke Tray, WhiteWe've been using this tray for a few months and it has been a wonderful addition to our Tripp Trapp setup. Yes, this tray can be used only with the baby set. The entire point of having a Stokke Tripp Trapp is that you will pull your child up to the table with you when they no longer need the baby set. That said, if you have the baby set model stated in the description, the tray snaps in quickly and securely, and is perfect for babies who are eating solids, but need an edge to contain the mess and help them "corner" their food.

The tray wipes down easily and can go in the dishwasher for a thorough cleaning.

When it did snap on, doesn't snap on easily if at all, and it was uneven and unstable. Not compatible with older baby kits (ones that are not verson 2 or 3.). If your child no longer requires the baby kit, you cannot use this tray.

It's phthalate (BPA) free, but useless.

I really love this tray. So long as you have the correct baby kit installed (needs to be the 2nd or 3rd generation baby kit), the tray goes on and comes off really easily and looks great on the Tripp Trapp. I was hesitant about buying the tray because the entire point of the Tripp Trapp is that it is supposed to draw up to the table so that baby can eat with the family, but for the first few months of solids, I find this tray to be invaluable. It actually sits 2-3 inches LOWER than a normal table top and so is great (and more ergonomically correct) for the smaller baby (baby doesn't have to hike her arms up to get to the table top but instead can reach directly horizontally to get to her food. Also, at least in the case of my table top, I am able to fit the tray partially under the table so that baby really is sitting with us at the table, even with the tray. I have the American Walnut Tripp Trapp with the walnut colored baby kit and brown and white circle infant cushion. With the tray, my baby's high chair actually looks like a beautiful piece of furniture that goes well with the traditional decor of our house.

My only complaint is the gridded bottom of the tray that another reviewer mentioned. It makes cleaning and drying the underside of the tray a bit more difficult because of the deep crevices that are not easily accessible. Luckily, not a lot of food ends up underneath the tray (yet), so I'm not overly concerned, but my preference would be for Stokke to rethink those grids when creating the 2nd generation of the tray.

Poorly made, broke after 3 non stressful uses. I wish I had read all reviews before buying. Amazon originally had it for around 39.00 dollars but, I thought I could do better. I was wrong everyone else wanted 49.00 then, when I returned to Amazon it was around 52.00 dollars, unsure how they raise their prices so suddendly. Anyways, purchased it for 49.00 and I am so disappointed.

Belle's Biscuits Gluten Free Vanilla Teething Biscuits, Bag of Six

Belle's Biscuits Gluten Free Vanilla Teething Biscuits, Bag of SixThis Biscuits are perfect. My 5 months old was having a hard time teething which is the reason I purchase this, but by the time they got here she was doing better but she still love chewing on this, she is not able to break it yet which is great. But I think I love them more than she does, I will order some more for me :). The item was packed very well, and arrived weeks before estimated date.

Doesn't ever turn into a mushy, soggy choke hazard in baby's mouth! He can suck and gnaw on it endlessly, and it just kinda melts away in layers making it a delicious treat for a teething weary baby. Great product!
