Johnson's Nursing Pads, 60 ct.

These pads are the fourth brand I've tried, after Lansinoh and Gerber Ultra-Thin (both disposables) and some washable cloth pads (I forget the brand), and in my experience these are the absolute best. Each type of pad I tried prior had pros and cons, but I have no complaint at all about the Johnson's pads.

I'm wearing them for both day and night, and even after wearing one set all night my bra, shirt, and skin were dry despite the pads being completely saturated. With the other brands, I regularly woke up with everything wet. Regarding daytime wear, I occasionally leaked around the Gerber pads and the cloth pads, as they were relatively small and also did not stay in place; the Lansinoh pads were larger in diameter and had adhesive to keep them in place, but I sometimes leaked through them. Neither of those situations has occurred with the Johnson's pads.

These pads have remained in place flawlessly, even without using the adhesive strip, and they are not noticeable under my clothing. They feel so completely comfortable that I am able to forget they are there. They can contain a much larger amount of moisture, and they are soft and perfectly shaped for me.

The only thing I would change about the Johnson's pads would be to have them individually wrapped like the Lansinoh pads, so that I can carry a spare set in my purse. In light of all the good things about this pad, though, that's a very minor concern.

The contour is great, and the absorbency is fine, but my complaint is the nipple shape, which you can see through your shirt. I try to not have visibly protruding nipples, which I didn't have, so Johnson's provided them for me.

I use these pads almost all the time as they are comfortable and very absorbent. You don't see them through your clothes, so you can still wear clingy shirts and not feel like your nursing pads are obvious. They aren't individually wrapped like other brands, so if you are planning on stashing some in your purse, you may want to put them in a baggie to help keep them clean.

These are the best pads I've found. They are a bit bulky, but hold the milk in. Others I've tried leak out the side, but these hold up well and are fairly discreet.

These don't bunch and get smushed like the Medela and Lansinoh ones I've tried. The contoured shape means they don't show as much under your shirt either--love that!

Kinderville Little Bites Silicone Bibs (Set of 2, Blue/Green)

Initially I was disappointed at how much smaller these bibs look than the baby Bjorn Dex Baby and tommee tippee Bibs that I have purchased. However those bibs were always kind of sitting on the high chair tray or my son was leaning in to eat and so the pelican pocket parts were thusly useless and all the food went into the seat or back onto the tray. Baby Bjorn I returned because my little boy couldnt even eat since the stupid thing sat on top of the tray and then when he leaned forward to eat poked him in his neck with its rigid collar. The tommee tippee ones just got yucky and stained and the Dex baby ones are too east for him to unsnap and just fling food everywhere.

This bib sit up higher than the others and is closer to my sons mouth. It is soft silicone and should not stain. And my son does not seem to mind it as much. Also it fastens on the side as opposed to in back which is great because my baby has curls for days and I just cant seem to get behind his head without getting a little ringlet stuck in the bib faster on other bibs and so it is always a pain. This bib is easy breezy :)

These bibs are really cute, easy to clean, quick to dry, and they fit our 7-month old baby boy very well.

We are very pleased with this purchase.

Cute colors/designs, great size (sits above the highchair tray), and easily wiped down but the pocket at the bottom has open ends which means that any liquid caught will eventually come out the side and fall into the baby's lap.

Read Best Reviews of Kinderville Little Bites Silicone Bibs (Set of 2, Blue/Green) Here

I really expected to totally LOVE these. I mean, they wipe clean easily and have a cute design. However, I was disappointed by the size. They seem really...small. Even though they adjust to be a bit bigger around the neck, I am not really sure how long we will be able to use them. I'm keeping them since they are so easy to clean and I am hoping to get good use out of them.

So for the prospective buyers out there:

The tray that is supposed to catch the food is fairly small and the overall size of the bib is fairly small. I don't think you could use these much past 9 months-1 year of age.

Want Kinderville Little Bites Silicone Bibs (Set of 2, Blue/Green) Discount?

I have twins, so we go through a LOT of bibs...

The fabric ones made a pile of gross laundry, so we tried the bibster disposables... Those were great for about one feeding, until they learned how to rip them off and tear them into pieces faster than you can blink.

Next I tried the sticky stick-on bibs. The sticky bibs didnt work unless the baby was wearing a perfectly round collar that fit right up to the neck (Forget about it if there was a collar placket, or any sort of frills at the neck) and once the babies learned to rip those off, it was impossible to even get them stuck on without a fight.

Then I tried the Bjorn bibs, but they are so rigid and hard, and the pocket at the bottom sits right where the tray of the highchair sets... This meant we either rested it ABOVE the tray, so it jammed right into their necks, or tried to stuff it UNDER the tray which yanked down on the back of the neck. Either way resulted in a teary, tortured baby. They might work well for times when you dont have a highchair, but not for our every day routine.

These Kinderville bibs are AWESOME. They are so soft, they dont hurt the babies necks, and they are a breeze to wash. They snap on easily, and so far no one has figured out how to rip them off. (They dont even try to rip them off, because they aren't uncomfortable and they dont make that wonderful scritchy noise that makes the babies tear at the plastic ones!)

These bibs are the perfect solution for us. Im so glad I found them!

Elegant Baby Colorful Feeding Set

I purchased this set when my son was just begining solids at 6 months. He is now almost 9 months and I just ordered 3 more sets to insure we always have one on hand. My son has always insisted on holding the spoon himself, and with other plastic and metal spoons I worried he would hurt himself. The spoon in this set it a soft flexible rubber so I just let my son hold it and play with it while I feed him with a more traditional baby spoon, this way I avoid the tug of war tantrums. The bowl suctions well to his highchair tray and is easily removed by gently pulling at the bottom of the suction cup to allow air to get in there. This may not be the set for everyone, but for us it has been wonderful!

This is my favorite feeding set for my 8-month-old daughter. She absolutely LOVES the spoon (because it is very soft and bendable) and I love the bowl (because it has a suction cup that keeps her from flinging it off the table). I'm thinking of buying a second set.

I have bought several different baby feeding products and so far this is our favorite (and my daughter's favorite too!). It stays on the table for the most part. Occasionally my daughter would take it off but it's still the best among all other products.

The color is nice but not stick on the tray. My 12 months old son is easy to pick up the bowl. The spoon can be only dry by the wet cloth not paper towel; otherwise, the paper towel dust stick on the spoon. Not recommended!

The bowl itself is adorable but the suction part rarely works. I've tried it on several flat and clean surfaces and doesn't work the best.

stella mamma chewable silicone teething necklace(white and navy)

I bought this after my friend raved about this particular brand. I've had it for a week now and my daughter has been so much less fussy throughout the day. It keeps her occupied for a while when she's on the ergo or when I'm holding her. I chose to buy this one due to the affordable price. Kind of doubted it before I bought it but it's the same as my other friends' that bought them for $30+. Really soft, no smell. I'm gonna buy another one so I can match it to other outfits and not have to wash it all throughout the day. :)

I bought this item every different colors. I love love this necklace because it is more cheaper than other sellers. Good quality and safe for little ones! Highly recommend it!

Nubian Heritage Body Lotion Indian Hemp and Haitian Vetiver - 8 fl oz Nubian Heritage Body Lotion I

I know you might be asking yourself what on this natural earth of ours is Haitian VETIVER? I am from Haiti, and all I can remember about Vetiver is that builders used the roots to build houses. They would let the roots sit in mud for a while and then lay them over barbed wires to form the walls of the house. I never knew that it had healing powers.

My personal opinion:

Pros:

Moisturizing beyond belief

Good for the price

Great for extremely dry skin

Not messy

Great for sunburn and blemishes

Cons:

The smell is overpowering

The bottom line:

The smell is very strong while applying the lotion, but it does not last. I don't know about you, but I don't need all this fragrance ( senti bon) in my healing lotion. The product can leave your skin very greasy if you use too much. It is more like a cream than a lotion. The consistency is very thick. You get best results if you use it right after your shower. Use it on dry skin if you have sunburn or mosquito bites that hurt. I would recommend this product to a friend.

Sticks to every surface I have tried so far. I have some on my life proof case as well as several coworkers desk phones. Looks cool.

I love my wife. She has a dog. The dog usually vomits as it is prone to over drink water. I usually clean it up. NO MORE. Last time the dog spewed forth vomitus, I opened the drawer and pulled out this tape. Then carefully outlined the vomit with the tape. It worked, she cleaned it up.

Thinkbaby BPA Free Cereal Bowl, 6 Months

This bowl gets a workout in our house. It's perfect for my toddler son who wants to eat from a bowl, but may decide to throw the bowl when he's done. I don't worry about plastic leaching into his hot foods, like oatmeal, and if he throws it the plastic outside protects the stainless steel from dings. My only complaint is that the "think" printed on the bowl is not centered from top to bottom on the bowl and the words are scratching off (we only hand wash it).

I love this bowl! We use it daily. I love that it's food grade stainless steel so I don't have to worry about chemicals leaching out of it like I would with plastic. The plastic "think" cover comes off for easy washing. I had read a review on another website how water got trapped between the stainless steel bowl and the plastic outer layer so I was worried about that, but when I received the bowl, I realized the outer plastic layer can be pulled off to clean.

The lid is great too. If we're going to be out and about, I put rice cereal or oatmeal in the bowl, put the lid on and toss it in my diaper bag. When I'm ready to feed, I just add formula, mix and we're good to go! When I'm finished, I just put the lid back on, toss it back in the bag, and clean it when i get home. Very convenient.

I highly recommend this product.

Boon Toddler Catch Bowl in Blue Raspberry and Tangerine

The blue is a darker blue that is shown in the picture but I love this!! I recently started my baby on solids with this bowl. The design helps catch everything that she spits up and the suction on the bottom helps keep the bowl in place whenever my daughter tries to swipe at it!

suction cup on bottom didn't work as well as it should have. Great idea with the catch lip on it.

I love these bowls! They stay put pretty well. It takes a lot of hard pulling for my 14-month-old to get it unstuck. The flap is the best part. He's always missing his mouth and just dropping food and instead of digging it all out of the high chair, a lot of it hits the flap then I can push it right back down into the bowl. They're very nice for stuff like yogurt too. I have 6 of them I liked them so much!

Burt's Bees Baby Bee Dusting Powder

Yet another excellent product from Burt's Bees. The scent is different from regular baby powder, more of a sweet smell, and it goes on smoothly. This new size is the best value if you need the powder, especially since a little goes a long way with this product.

I gave this product 5 stars because I love these products. I use this powder in my daughters shoes and it absorbs beautifuly and smells great. I originally bought this to use on my son's hiney, but his skin is to sensitive for it(darn it!) but since it is kind of spendy I wanted to make sure I could use it. My daughter likes how her shoes and feet smell now!

California Baby Calendula Cream

This is great for babies with sensitive skin or suffering from eczema. I think it comes from the sweat during the warmer months. None of the other baby lotions or creams work as well as the Calendula has for us. The itching would make my daughter scream for hours on end. It was really disheartening. No matter what we tried we couldn't get her any relief unless she soaked in a bath, and we could only do that for so long. The calendula helps eliminate itch and inflammation which seems to have worked well. Be aware of the ingredients thoughmarigold being the main ingredient could have adverse effects for children with allergies.

My daughter also gets a lot of diaper rash from not only going to the bathroom but the combination of it and sweat. For that, I use a specific natural diaper rash cream by DesitinDesitin Creamy Diaper Rash Ointment + FREE Baby Ganics Thick N' Kleen (Fragrance Free) Baby Wipes. It's an ointment but it's creamy so it absorbs quickly. A dash of the Calendula on top of the diaper rash cream seems to help soothe the pain a little quicker for her.

The Calendula also has a really pleasant smell. It works on the entire body. I just avoid using it on her face in case she were to ingest it. Even though it's natural I feel more comfortable shielding that possibility. Make sure you find the original blend though, I've seen a lot of complaints of a 'new formula' but I've yet to encounter it myself.

Reformulation on California Baby Calendula Cream Be Aware: In the old formulation, water and calendula were the first two ingredients -the new formula Calendula is the 8TH INGREDIENT water, caprylic capric triglyceride, cetyl alcohol, stearic acid, glycerin USP, cetearyl olivate and sorbitan olivate, canola oil and FINALLY Calendula! This formulation is much cheaper for the company and yet they still charge an avg. of $5 an ounce!! I'm pretty outraged -if you use California Baby please let them know how you feel about this change in formulation and look to make sure the products YOU use haven't also been reformulated. ---Please note that my son who has severe eczema used to have NO skin reaction to the old formula and now he has pain on application and redness in his skin for up to an hour after it's applied.

I also want to note that it wasn't until my son started reacting to it that I even compared the labels --no notification of reformulation on the new containers at all -completely unethical -so very disappointed.

I have eczema on face / very sensitive skin. Immediately after applying the product my face burns for a good minute and then it stops. The product is intended for dry skin which I have due to my eczema however, after about an hour or so my skin feels dry again so I have to apply more of the product.

I read some reviews about how the crème with the new label has a new formula which isn't the same as the old label crème. Maybe due to the formula change I'm experiencing the burning sensation.

When my daughter turned 2 months old she broke out in eczema. It was all over her body and severe. We tried a number of different moisturizers: aquaphor, eucerin, Burt's Bees, nutraderm, lubriderm, to name a few. This lotion was the first that began to manage her eczema. Now, along with the lotion daily and the use of hydrocortisone she only needs spot treatment. Although the cost is high we consider it worth it and buy this in bulk so it's always on hand.

I think they taste better than any other graham cracker I've tried, and they're organic to boot. As far as sugary snacks go, they have pretty healthy ingredients. I like pretty much everything I've tried from Earth's best. For those of you interested in how they're sweetened they contain organic invert syrup, organic evaporated can juice, and organic honey. They don't have anything "scary" in them like maltodextrin or other such sweeteners. Just vitamins and natural, organic products.
