Similac Advance Early Shield, Formula, Powder, 23.2-Ounces (Pack of 6)

Every baby is different, but for us, Similac is a much better fit than Enfamil. Babies are gassy and formula will give them gas, but there is no blood curdling screaming or writhing in pain with Similac like there was with Enfamil.

I bought this 6 pack for 122.99, and was a good value with prime shipping. This is cheaper than Walmart or Target stores. But recently found Costco is offering a bigger sized individual cans at even better price (81 cents per ounce).

The product is fine but

I was disappointed with the shipment

I ordered six containers of this product & I was shipped about 16 of the sample tins

the formula amount was the same the packaging is annoying

if I order the six containers I expect to receive the same packaging

as what I ordered not sample sizes. These sample size containers are not for resale either

I don't think I will order from amazon for this product again

I had b/g twins and the boy was great at breastfeeding but I had to pump for the girl. She was miserable all the time and cried 24/7. I put her straight on Alimentum (made by Abbott, the makers of Similac) and she did great on Alimentum for 3 months. I wanted to get her onto a regular formula, due to the extremely processed and broken down "hydrolyzed" proteins in Alimentum (creates MSG, look it up). So I changed over to an organic formula that I love and the child was constipated!!! Then I opened up my sample can of Similac Advance and she did beautifully. No constipation, and no more colic. If I try to give her the "generic" form of Similac she gets constipated, Enfamil makes her constipated, and so does Similac Organic, so we have stuck with the blue lid Similac advance.

My breast milk wasn't coming in while we were still in the hospital so my baby came home on this formula until my milk came in. It was easy for him to digest and he thrived on it. He lost a lot of weight in the hospital because my milk wasn't coming in. Being on this formula for a little over a day made him gain enough weight that the pediatrician felt comfortable discharging him to go home.

Now my milk came in but my baby won't breast feed from being bottle fed for so long. After pumping for 3 1/2 months and trying to take care of a developmentally delayed 3 year old with no one to help me I am giving up pumping and my baby will be formula fed again. Needless to say I will be using this formula again since I know it was easy for him to digest and he thrived on it. I highly recommend this product.

edited 8/29/09: When I wrote the comment "good price" the seller on this link was amazon.com and the price was $. It's still excellent formula but with a coupon it's probably cheaper to get from your local store. We also tend to find lots of sales at local stores.

Gerber Graduates Kid Selects Turkey Meatballs, 7.05 Ounce (Pack of 8)

I would feel worse about giving my 2-year old shelf stable meatballs if they weren't so tasty and not-so bad for him. The chorus of "meat-mallllls" starts as soon as we hit the door after daycare. :-)

toddler approved. great for daycare, on the go or at home meals.

love that they don't have all the sodium that frozen meatballs have.

buy from amazon by case or from super market with catalina machine coupons.

SoHo Designs - Royal Red Diaper Bag with Changing Pad 5 pieces Set

I ordered the Red Soho Designs bag 5 Pieces. Its really cute and for the price its awesome because you get the two main bags and accessories! The bigger bag isnt huge but def big enough for food and diapers for an infant. The additional bag is good for when your baby gets bigger and needs a separate bag for food. Does not have any elastic to hold anything in place inside the bag but there is one zipper pocket both inside and out. There are two pouches on the outside as well but the elastic isnt super tight so I wouldnt put a bottle or anything of value in them. Other than that I really do love these bags

I love the color of the bag. I just wish the bottle bag had something to attach it to one of the diaper bags.

KidCo Complete Natural Feeding System

This kit has made making my own baby food so easy. The motor is plenty powerful for everything I've put in it. The "turbo" button made me laugh when I first saw it, but is very helpful on harder foods like asparagus. I love that the food that comes out of the ice cube tray is perfectly shaped to fit the feeding dish. It has been pretty easy to get everything out of the tray too. The servings are 2 oz sizes, unlike the other baby food trays that make 1 oz cubes. For me, this is really nice and I bought more of these trays and only use the competitor's trays for ice. The spoon clamps onto the feeding dish, so I am never without a utensil. The manual food mill rocks! I used it on an airplane while flying under high security conditions that wouldn't allow me to bring other food aboard. I was able to make my daughter a great meal from onboard food, serve it to her from the food mill (it acts as a bowl) and the cleaning is so easy, I did it in a coach class bathroom. The carrying-case ensures you have all your parts. I am will now be getting everyone this for their baby showers. I signed on Amazon tonight to buy this for a friend who is expecting and saw no one has reviewed this before. I knew I had to be the first because it really is awesome. If you know anyone who is going to be an organic mom, cloth diapering, natural laundry and the such, this is the perfect baby shower gift.

edited: I noticed others have said that the cubes are hard to get out. Keeping the lid on, turn the tray up-side-down and run it under warm water for a few seconds. The cubes pop right out of the tray. Just twist a little until you hear the cubes hit the lid. Then they are still firm enough to put into zip-loc bags. I make a week's worth of food at a time this way, only cooking on Sundays and I mark the bag with a sharpie, so it writing stays on in the freezer.

At first, I was delighted with this kit. But then reality set it.

1) The feeding dish warped in the dishwasher and no longer closes (it was on the top shelf of the dishwasher). It is now worthless. This did not happen to the freezer trays. DO NOT PUT THE FEEDING DISH IN THE DISHWASHER!

2) I frequently had problems opening the electronic mill after processing food (the lid would get jammed, and I would have to rely on my husband's strength to force open). Also, the second time I washed it in the dishwasher, I noticed a hairline crack in the plastic. It does not affect its performance, but I worry that it is going to completely break anyday.

3) The food mill is very difficult, if not impossible, to take apart to clean.

The electronic and manual food mill are both very effective, so no complaints on the performance front, but I wish I had invested in a regular food processor and plain ice cube trays instead of purchasing this kit.

I love the mill, it's easy to clean and small enough to carry with me on small trips -although my baby (7mo) doesn't yet like the consistency of the food, it's not very smooth, so I'm still using the food procesor a lot more and it's also great, again, it's easy to clean and to use.

After reading the other reviews, even the "not so favorable" ones, I decided to by the whole kit anyway. I had no trouble removing the frozen food from the plastic trays. All you have to do is run hot water over the bottom of the tray and they pop out without any trouble no twisting the tray, nothing like that. It's not rocket science!

I use the food processor every day. It is so convinient, efficient and easy to clean. Just make sure to cover it right otherwise the cover will stuck and hard to get it open. other than this, it is a great product. So far, I haven't use the hand mill yet. I will use it later.

Plum Organics Just Fruit, Bananas, 3.17-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 12)

These are great! My daughter loves these all through the day. I like the taste and texture for her. She's past stage 2s but I use these as filler to make sure she eats fruits since she doesn't like whole fruit yet.

I liked everything about this product the price, quality, packaging and, of course, the fact that its organic. My daughter ate the whole thing pretty fast. I recommended this product to some of my friends.

Buy Plum Organics Just Fruit, Bananas, 3.17-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 12) Now

I gave plums 4 stars for ease of use mostly.I only have two minor complaints really. The Just Bananas has lemon juice concentrate and citric acid, which I understand is to preserve the product. However, it gives the banana a very bitter sweet taste. My son did not care for it (the only food he has actually turned his head away from) and having tried it myself, I do not like it either. My other issue with the plums and other products that come in the very handy pouch is that the product at the very tip that first comes out is most often harder than the rest of the pouch. Which isn't a big issue it is not hard to squeeze the first little bit into the sink.This is one of the better options in premade baby foods. I also like ella's kitchen both for ease of use and organic ingredients. However, not being able to find a wide variety of vegatibles and fruits that I usually eat I have choosen to go with the BabyBrezza to make my own baby food.

Plum Organics is awesome. The baby loves the taste and I love how easy the pouches are to use. You aren't dipping a used spoon into anything. It just is more sanitary. Also the ingredients are as basic as they get.

This is a great product, my daughter loves them alone and mixed with other flavors. I add it into baby's other foods, both store-bought frozen and homemade fresh. The consistency is just right, nice and smooth and it tastes great! I always end up finishing whatever is left in the package! Tip: Because there is a bit of lemon juice in these bananas to keep them from turning brown when exposed to air, whatever you mix them into will also stay nice and fresh looking (avocadoes, for example). The screw top is much easier than a zip-top, and they keep just fine in the fridge once opened. I'll be buying these again!

The Sili Squeeze - Citrus Ultimate Sili Pack: 4oz Original Sili Squeeze & 6oz Sili Squeeze with Eee

I really like these. It seems like they are a little bigger than they say but that is not a problem. They are very easy to fill and clean. It took a few times for my little guy to get the hang of them but he has got it down now and he likes them. I do recommend getting one of each of the different spouts (original and ease) I didn't mean to order one of each but I am glad I did.

Sugar Booger Classic Lunch Sack

I ordered this bag for my daughter about 6 weeks ago.

About 2 weeks after ordering it, we noticed a small spot of black mold in one corner of the bag, between the fabric and the coating.

That moldy spot has now grown to cover about half the bag.

We've only spot cleaned the bag since ordering it, so I can only assume the mold is the result of condensation from the cold packs we've used to keep her meals cool when we need to be out for several hours at a time.

So, 6 weeks later, the bag is ruined. Thankfully I got it on sale and I'm only out six bucks instead of sixteen.

I really wish the manufacturers had included "NOT FOR USE WITH ICE OR COLD PACKS" in the description, or the instructions for use.

I purchased this lunch bag for my daughter and I thought it was adorable, but after two weeks of use mold grew between the lining of the bag. I was washing the bag out daily with a paper towel and 7th generation cleaning spray. I contacted the company and they said I should only have used a dry cloth because the care instructions say "wipe clean". Their customer service was very poor and they basically said I ruined the bag because I used liquid to clean it. So if you want a bag that you can keep clean and sanitarty this isn't the one!

I purchased this for my 8 year old daughter to use for her daily lunch. We loved the design and it worked great. Then it became terribly stinky, so we had to throw it away. Very dissappointed!

I'm really confused by the negative reviews of this lunch bag. I purchased them for two of my children, and have used them daily for the past three months they both still look brand new. I have never had an issue with mold or durability of these lunch bags. I could not be more pleased with their durability and the designs are absolutely adorable. I love these lunch bags and would absolutely purchase them again and again.

I have been very happy with this lunch bag. Its held up to daily use for the past couple of months and still looks great. And my daughter is very hard on her lunch bags so for her to still have this one completely intact is wonderful.

Kiddologic bibit-all Baby Bib

Purchased as a gift for my niece. Her mom text me and said she wished she had ten! I just visited them this weekend and the bibit works great.

Bought this because of an article I saw online from our local newspaper. This is a good bib, keeps the kiddo clean when we're on the go. We pretty much save it for when we're eating out, it's perfect for that!

Buy Kiddologic bibit-all Baby Bib Now

I love this bib! I purchased it in the 12 months plus size for my one year old daughter and it works perfectly. It's a little big, but that's what I was hoping for so that it would last a while. My favorite aspect of this bib is the turtleneck-like opening. I tried other bibs with arms that had an adjustable Velcro opening and I could never get the neck opening small enough food was always dropping through and staining her clothes. I don't have that issue here. I also really like the cuffs at the wrists, they seem to do a good job of keeping food from sneaking in there as well. I was worried that it didn't have a pocket, but honestly the other bibs I tried with pockets never seemed to catch the food anyway, and the terrycloth here seems to do at least as good of a job as those with pockets at catching food. This bib probably shows more stains but it's a bib so that's ok. I bought several of these and only use the other bibs now if I'm in a pinch.
