Tommee Tippee 2 Count Anti-Colic Bottle, 9 Ounce

I love Tommee Tippee bottles for my otherwise breastfed son. I give the product 5 starts, but these are much cheaper at Babies R US.

These are the best bottles I have tried for my son that has had an upset stomach and gas since he was born. They have really helped with his fussiness and gas. Best bottles I've tried and I've tried at least five different ones. He loves that the nipples are more shaped like a natural nipple too.

The nipple pours too fast for my 2 month old. I should have researched to see if these bottles had slow flow nipples before buying, however, I found that the Tommy Tippee website doesn't have any information about the flow of their nipples or if they even offer a slow flow. Very disappointed as now I cannot return the bottles since I've used one of them.

I love these bottles! They are perfect for my daughter. We bought these because she was having a hard time going back and forth from bottle feeding to breastfeeding. She just wasn't latching on correctly. Once I started using these bottles we haven't had any problems at all! I highly recommend these bottles! Worth the price.

These bottles are expensive and the pieces are easy to lose. We take pretty good care of our bottles, but every now and then it's inevitable that the small pieces are lost (we've lost two stems so far).

In any case, the benefits don't justify the additional cost. We've used about 4 different brands of bottles and these are the most troublesome (IMO).

I e-mailed the company twice to ask them if they would sell the stems separately but I didn't even receive the courtesy of a response. I can understand that it may not be part of their plan (i.e. if there plan is to milk customers of more money by making us buy more bottles). In reality, for our next child we'll probably use a different brand.

Does it actually work? It's hard to say, I didn't notice any significant difference in our kids behaviors so I can't say for sure. That's why I'm giving it two stars instead of one.

If your a first time parent, make sure to consider equipment, tools, bottles, etc that have replaceable parts and that are reasonably priced.

Gerber Cereal Twin Pack (Rice cereal/OatMeal Cereal - 1lb carton)

Garbo is Nestle's high-end rice cereal, this rice cereal with Nestle, after a good soak rice cereal nothing sweet for your baby (some mothers may feel the baby does not like to eat rice cereal will buy some sweetrice cereal, in fact, this baby taste is not good). Garbo relatively good bubble, not easy to agglomerate. I are first installed boiling water, then pour Garbo rice cereal to soak for a while, stir with a spoon.

Baby Chef Double Duty Bottle Warmer

I was very disappointed with this product. I have twins and wanted a warmer that could heat up two bottles at a time. I thought I was using it incorrectly, until I saw other customers' reviews. What's the point of having a bottle warmer that takes so long, when I can just put the bottles into a glass of hot water and warm up the bottles in less than half of the time?

It came with no instructions AT ALL. I tried it a few times and it took ages. It was faster to heat up a pot of water and warm the bottle in it instead. I ended up returning the warmer as it just took up room on my counter and didn't work.

This bottle warmer works but it takes a ridiculously long time to heat up to temperature. When dealing with hungry babies, most people probably don't have the time to wait for the bottles to heat using this. Went back to the steam type that heats much faster.

it works...but it takes about 20-30 minutes to heat up 2 bottles. i needed more of a 2-5 minute solution.

It took longer to heat up than using hot water in a coffee mug. Waste of money. I wouldn't purchase again.

J.L. Childress 6 Bottle Cooler Tote Bag, Pink/Light Pink

This bag fits 4 Dr Browns 8 oz standard bottles perfect for me! I use a large blue Medela ice pack on the bottom of the bag and 4 J.L.Childress ice packs one on each side. So without these ice packs you can fit 6 bottles. Keeps the formula chilled all night. Good quality bag. And I like the long strap on the bag, comes in handy when I have my hands full.

it does what it says, but it could only hold on 4 bottles with an icepack inside.. you could really fit 6 but there would be no room for the icepack.. this is perfect for all day trip.. if you think a cooler would be a hassle to bring.. and perfect for night feedings.. if your baby is still waking up to feed.. my baby is an 16month old and she still wakes up at night to feed.. but she's on regular milk now so this is a life saver for me.. i dont have to keep going back and forth to the kitchen just to get her milk.. i just have it on my bedside table..

Buy J.L. Childress 6 Bottle Cooler Tote Bag, Pink/Light Pink Now

I bought this bag because I often have long haul flights (12-17 hours) with my baby and I wanted to keep all her bottles and organised and easily accessible since we travel coach ... and you know how generous Boeing and Airbus are with leg room in coach. (I guess I will be writing a review on those to brands soon.)

The fabric looks cheap and that is the reason why I gave it 4 stars. However I like the product because it can accommodate those tall 8oz Dr. Brown's bottles.

I also like the space on the top of the bag because it is convenient for storing the formula dispenser or snacks.

I regret that the strap is not adjustable.

i was looking for somethign I could travel to and from day care with 4-6 bottles for my daughter. This is perfect and has a compartment at the top for food once I'm ready to bring homemade food to daycare for her.

Want J.L. Childress 6 Bottle Cooler Tote Bag, Pink/Light Pink Discount?

Though it arrived quickly and in plastic, the top compartment of this cooler is dirty. We think it has been used. I'm very disappointed since it's supposed to be brand new. it would be a good product if not used looking.

it's also larger than I thought it would be, but that would be ok (again if it was new looking!)

REVISIONI have been using this for a month to tote bottles to and from daycare. It's been used a max of 20 min a day. I just noticed the lining is ripped at the seam in the bottom compartment. This has not been heavy use and should not have already ripped. I had it monogrammed to the top of the top compartment (NOT ANYWHERE NEAR THE RIP), so I cannot send it back. But this was definitely a rip off as it's pretty much useless after one month. There's not even a way to contact the seller directly!

Earth's Best Organic Wholegrain Infant Oatmeal Cereal - 8 Oz

My son loves this oatmeal. He started it at 5 months and has had absolutely no problems with eating it. However, I ordered it from Amazon the first time and later saw that the exact same product is available at Wal-Mart for less than $3. I would have returned the box from amazon.com, but by the time they would have deducted the shipping costs for the return it would not have been worth it. It was a loss either way. I will never order this product from amazon.com again unless they lower the price.

This is an excellent cereal to give baby after rice cereal. It is easily digested and helps if your baby gets a little constipated. My baby loves the flavor and the best part is that it is organic. I highly recommend this cereal.

When i mixed with the milk, it had a very weird consistency compared to the oatmeal I bought in the store (same exact brand). I think this must have been very old or something weird, because it just isn't right. Also, when I bought this I was unaware of the price in stores, but since it took a few days to come I went to Safeway in the meantime, and it was only $2.99 compared to this $13 crap. I am soooo mad I bought this, had to throw it away

My Baby loves this cereal. And the current price on Amazon at $8-13 a box, you know it's got to be better than Target's $3-4 per box. There must be a lot more nutrients since we all know that we get what we pay for! She likes them all, I've never had a "bad box," no matter where it is purchased.

Select Color: Sassy Baby Teething Feeder

Our little one (7 months old) enjoys sucking on ice in it. We expect it to be extremely useful as she begins to teethe. The design of the cap (which has a flat base) is preferable to some of the other mesh teethers' caps because you can rest the teether in it without food/ice going on the counter. (For example, Nuk's mesh teether has more of a rounded cap.) So far, our little one hasn't figured out how to chomp on the bag when food is in it; since she likes it for her ice, she gets frustrated when something else is in it. However, I expect that had we put small pieces of food like apple in it initially, she would already be happily be snacking on such items.Sassy Teething Feeder, Boy, Blue/GreenSassy Teething Feeder, Colors May VarySassy Teething Feeder and 16 Replacement Bags

In my opinion, this is a waste if time. It takes SO much to clean it properly & still food residue stays behind. For me, it's much easier to clean-up baby's mess. I used it once & threw away.

Cuisinart BW-10 Baby Bottle Warmer and Night Light

This is a great looking product and I was hopeful that despite the lack of ratings, this would be as good as most of my other Cuisinart kitchen products. Unfortunately, it's just okay and we only used it for about a week before switching to the Dr. Brown's warmer we received at our baby shower. The Cuisinart requires you to measure very small, precise amounts of water each time you use it in order to create a precise amount of steam for each bottle which is ok during the day, but really inconvenient in the middle of the night when you're wall-eyed and usually in darkness (there's a night light on the warmer which kind of seems like a consolation prize or an afterthought.) (The Dr. Brown's only requires a water refill every few days with constant use and is on a timer system with a beeper which makes it really convenient and easy, even in the middle of the night.)

In addition, the Cuisinart started making a burning sugar smell within days of its first use, probably because the warming mechanism is exposed underneath the basket in which the bottle sits and tiny amounts of formula might have gotten in there somehow. Oh, if only Cuisinart had put the same amount of thoughtful design into this product as they do into most of their others. I really wanted to like it but unfortunately, not so much.

I was exclusively breast feeding but when I returned to work I needed my baby to take pumped breast milk from a bottle and the temperature has to be just right or he wouldn't take it! I decided to purchase the cuisinart bottle warmer and it has worked great! Before we bought the warmer we were trying to heat the milk in a bowl of hot water and it took way too long! You do have to measure the amount of water you put into the warmer each time (in mL) but it comes with a convenient measuring cup that sits right in the top of the warmer so it's very easy to do. The more water you put in the hotter it warms the bottle so when I first got the warmer I tested it out using bottles filled with water that had been refrigerated to find out exactly how much water we needed to add each time. It does come with a chart telling you how much to add (depending on bottle size and how many oz are in the bottle) but as you can imagine there is some variation. Once we figured out the amount of water required it has warmed the bottles well every time. It takes less than 2 min to warm it. I have had multiple family members take care of my baby during the day and everyone has found it easy to use. I still breast feed in the evening and at night so I can't comment on how difficult it is to use in a sleep stupor. Overall I am very satisified with the Cuisinart bottle warmer and I actually plan on buying a 2nd one to take to our nanny's house so that she has one on hand.

JW Pet Company Clean Cup Feeder and Water Cup Bird Accessory, Large

I have a blind dove and this cup is excellent for him, it's big enough for him to dip his beak into it and the cover keeps the seeds clean and prevents them from scattering all over the place. Sturdy construction too, fits easily on my cage which is usually difficult to attach things to. Great for larger birds and parrots and the company I bought it from (Global Pets) is excellent, super fast shipping and great packing.

Does the job, but I would have preferred a more sturdy ring/bracket. The yellow part is a tad on the thin side imo, but it seems to hold what needs holding. I have water in the cup (a bit heavy), so I perch the unit over a branch for a little extra support. Does the job it's supposed to do.

This is great if you have a large bird...I was in a hurry when ordering so some how I missed checking dimensions. It still works good for water, but food is different.

I love this feeder/water cup. I have one for my African gray and it helps to keep the cage clean. However I bought one for my sister's parrot who loves to destroy everything and it didn't last long in the cage. So if you have a passive bird, then its great.

Lassig Messenger Diaper Bag

Lassig Casual Messenger Diaper Bag Vertical ,choco

I like the internal pockets to separate out various things and the internal zippered pocket to store extra clothes, blankets, etc. However, if you want to carry more than what you need for changing a baby, this bag may be too small and the flap may not secure that well.

I had been looking for a diaper bag to hold all my twins' gear plus my own things, that could work for either my husband or for me. Another mom of multiples recommended the Lassig Messenger Eco-Friendly Diaper Bag, Stones Black. I love it it's exactly what I needed!

The Lassig bag is bigger than a regular diaper bag, but not so huge that it becomes bulky and hard to carry around. However, it's roomy enough to hold all the baby gear for a long outing for my three kids (4 bottles, diapers, formula, baby food, snack, wipes, changing pad, change of clothes, toys).

Several things make this diaper bag different from others in the market:

* it does not look like a diaper bag it could easily become a purse or a briefcase with enough room for a laptop

* it's gender neutral in style the removable covers make it either more feminine or more masculine

* heavy-duty materials and excellent quality, inside and out

* extra wide 3 1/2 inch wide soft shoulder strap distributes weight and can be shortened or extended up to 49" for taller parents

* it adjusts easily so that the bag can be clipped onto a stroller, used comfortably on the shoulder or across the chest, even with an Ergo Baby Carrier Black with Camel Lining, without slipping off.

* there are dozens of different covers available to suit your style or mood, both on amazon and the company website

The designers have thought of everything for both baby and parents. It includes:

* removable front cover that zips on and off

* two wide velcro strips to securely close the front flap

* stroller clips that work with velcro on both tandem and side-by-side strollers and on any type of handle

* large inner pocket with changing pad (13" x 26") and velcro closure

* large zippered inner wet pocket (14" x 10")

* large inner open compartment (15" x 12" 3 1/2") has a removable panel with three insulated bottle pockets

* removable insulated bottle holder (8 1/2" x 3") with carabiner hook; this can be used for baby food or formula packets as well

* removable zippered bag (5 1/2" x 7") for coins, make up, etc.

* 2 pen holders

* a second inner open compartment (15" 12" x 1") with 2 large mesh pockets (7" x 7", for diapers, clothes), 3 smaller mesh pockets (4" x 6") for toys, changes of clothes) and a large zippered inner dry pocket (13" x 9")

* large zippered outside pocket in back (12" x 7", good for a book or two)

* key clip

* cell phone pocket

* a small zippered pocket under the flap (6 1/2" x 6 1/2", good for wallet, subway pass, camera, or anything you need to have handy but secure)

* both the bag and the front cover can be hand washed

* 15" x 12" x 5" exterior dimensions

I also looked at the Skip Hop Duo Double Deluxe Charcoal. It's pretty good, but it may be too big for everyday use unless you use your side-by-side stroller a lot. I might use the Skip Hop Duo Double for travel or for trips to the city where I need a bigger bag for an all-day outing. However, as a purse it's not as useful as it's missing the zippered pockets and key ring of the Lassig. I would not use this for the office either as it looks too much like a diaper bag; finally, I found the Skip Hop Duo Double be too wide to use comfortably on the shoulder.

In summary, if you have lots of kids and need a good everyday bag that either mom or dad can use, that is versatile enough to use on any stroller or with a carrier, that you can use afterwards as a purse or briefcase, go with the Lassig.

After using it for less than 3 months, can see the signs of wear and tear. The strap came in with some loose string and I had it exchanged, so this is the second bag. I would not buy this anymore or recommend to anyone.

Wean Green 2-Pack Wean Bowls Glass Food Containers

Wean Green Round Wean Bowls 5.8oz/165ml Baby Food Glass Containers - Blueberry (Set

I got a set of these for a baby shower gift along with a set of 4 cubes. I LOVE these I can freeze baby food and heat it in the microwave without having to pop out cubes from plastic trays. My husband takes the cubes to work for salad dressing and has NEVER had a leak. I also love that they don't stain like plastic when I use for left over pasta sauces. We took them on the plane and had one tossed and roll down the aisle a few times tough little suckers!

Everything about Wean Green Bowls are great. Microwave/Freezer safe glass with no know harmful chemicals. I use these not only to store baby food in the fridge & freezer but as well as to mix cereal and rice.

Nuby 4 Pack Snack Cup and Spoon Set, Colors May Vary,

I ordered this Nuby bowl set because they were listed as BPA free, and safe. Also, they appeared to be a nice size and of nice quality from the photo. What I received seems to be an "average" product and it does NOT say that it is BPA free on the packaging. The bowl set is made in China (I am trying to avoid products made there) and the colors of the bowls are different than pictured here, ours are green/yellow. I actually don't mind the color difference but thought that people should know. I would NEVER again pay this high (Approx $20) of a price for this typical set of bowls. If you want the standard feeding set that you can find in any discount department store, go ahead and buy this set.

I bought these bowls because they're just so cute and cheap (I got them for 3.99). Im one person who likes compact little things so if you're like me you'll love them too. They're good for day trips without having to bring around big bowls that would take up space in your diaper bag, or when taking baby to grandma's or the babysitter. They fit nicely in my small cooler without the bulk. I was able to put about 10 tablespoons of dry cereal and about 2-3 oz of mashed baby food, which might not be enough for an older baby but ok for me coz my baby is only 7 mos old and that's about how much he eats. I havent tried putting them in the bag yet to see if the covers will stay put but they are pretty tight so hopefully the food doesn't spill. Just to be on the safe side, I'd put them in ziplock bags if the're going to be in the same bag as other items like baby's clothes. I gave it four stars for the fact that they're small and they might not be suitable for others and that these bowls are best used if your baby is just starting on solid foods up until, well, they start eating more. Then you'll have to switch to bigger bowls.

Updates:

I've been using these bowls for about a month now and Id say they're great. Id fill them with oat rings, dry cereals and mashed fruit and toss them in my bag and so far the covers have stayed put and havent had any spills. I also find the spoon very convenient and easy to use. I now prefer using it because the part the goes in the mouth is deep enough and the handle is long. I just love the spoon so much that I wish they'd sell it separately too.

Now that my son is older and eats more I'd fill them to the brim and we're good for the entire day when we're out. I would probably get one more since I lost one while we were out swimming but is ok coz they're not really that expensive.

Earth's Best Vegetable Variety Pack, 4-Ounce (Pack of 12)

Like many others here, I was disappointed that this company allowed the use of BPA in their products. (I've been giving my twin infants the formula and jarred food for months.) I wrote to the company today and I received this very prompt response:

Earth's Best Organic® infant formula was converted to packaging that does not use BPA in March, 2009.

Earth's Best Organic® jarred baby food was converted to packaging that does not use BPA in October, 2011.

I feel much better using their products now.

I started to panic when I read the comment from someone about BPA in the lid of EB glass baby jar foods. I make most of my baby food at home, but when on the road this is such an easy option. I called the company right away to get the facts. I was so relieved to hear that there are no BPA's that come into contact with the baby food. There are two layers of plastic in the lid and the layer that touches the baby food does NOT contain BPA. The layer in between has small traces of it, but their research has shown that it does not leech into the food. I personally feel comfortable with this and am glad I can still support this company.

Three each of carrots, winter squash, sweet potatoes, and peas with brown rice. My dog won't eat prescription dog food for her heart failure, so I'm winging it with people foodadult and baby. She wears out chewing things, so will lap this up from a bowl. When she hears the jar seal 'pop' when I open the jar, she comes to the kitchen and waits to see what shows up in her dish. It was worth the cost to have it dropped off at the front door.
