Freshfoods Fill & Freeze Pops

Freshfoods Fill & Freeze PopsThese molds are very popular with my 15 month old who is a huge fan of the yougurt / mango mixture that she is treated to on special occasions. I however, have issues with the great lack of durability that this product displays. The problem is that the mold base can be separated so that you can pull one pop out at a time and the plastic that is supposed to hold the four units together breaks easily. All of the links between the four molds broke the very first time that I attempted to separate them so now they don't go back together. I wish that I could get my money back but I have already used them. Due to this unfortunate experience, I will not be purchasing any more products from the Annabel Karmel collection.

So I bought these to help relieve teething for my 11-month old son and they work great for that purpose. We fill them up with fruit purees and they freeze quickly into the perfect size popsicle for a little one. The serving size is great for a toddler (or for a guiltily enjoyed adult snack when you unmold one and the kid doesn't want it) and the handles are just the right size for a toddler, although occasionally my kid ends up with the handle in his mouth and the popsicle in his hand. Unless you REALLY torque the popsicle on the way out, they stay intact when you remove them from the molds, which is nice. They're easy to clean we've put the parts in the dishwasher. The only minor design flaws are that while the popsicle molds come apart into individual servings (a plus,) they are hard to snap back together, and also a tiny amount of popsicle ends up stuck in the mold when you're eating them. This may be endemic to homemade popsicle molds though, so take that criticism with a grain of salt.

I bought these molds because of my wonderful experience with other Annabel Karmel products. Unfortunately I am very disappointed with it. The size of each pop is just perfect for my eighteen month old and the handle is just right for my little one to hold on to. My problem is with the base, which unnecessarily comes apart into four separate molds, but breaks really easily. Mine broke the first time I tried to pull a pop out. I regret not having considered other people's reviews seriously, since many people had already experienced this issue. I just thought it had been bad luck, but by own experience I can say, it's just a poor design and it's not worth the money. I'm very disappointed and I would recommend other people to look into other brands before considering this one.

These popsicle molds are awesome. Perfect for little hands. My daughter was 7 months when we got these and she could hold on no problem. We use the organic fruit pouches to fill. One of the PLUM brand stage one fruit packets fills four popscicles with no waste. Quick, easy and healthy. Highly recommend!

We have been using this since our daughter started solids. I put any type of liquid baby food (fruit, vegetables, yogurt, combination meals...) in the mold. Then, my daughter is able to eat the food on her own, and she loves it. It is a great way for me to get her to eat a variety of healthy foods, while making it so that I am free to eat my own meal. The smaller containers of baby food (like Gerber levels 1 and 2, and their yogurt) are the perfect size to fill the mold and make four popsicles. Level 3 fits perfectly into two molds to make eight popsicles. The small size of the popsicles are perfect. They are easy for baby to handle, and there isn't a lot of waste if it isn't finished (or if it is dropped). The mold also stands up nicely in the freezer when the four pieces are kept together. Just don't try to separate the pieces while frozen. (I snapped the plastic this way, but it still works.) The popsicles come out nicely when ran under hot water. I ended up buying three of these so that I can always have popsicles ready to go.

Mudpuppy Wooden Magnetic Fruits and Vegetables

Mudpuppy Wooden Magnetic Fruits and VegetablesFirst off a correction needs to be made in the product description. It says "Forty 1-3/4" tall wooden pieces per set". This is incorrect, there are 35 pieces in this set (even says so on the back of the box, see uploaded image). Also the sizes vary depending on which fruit or veggie is portrayed, from small pieces like the strawberry at 1-1/8"x1-5/8" or chili pepper at 2-1/4"x5/8" to the largest, the pineapple, at 3-1/2"x1-3/4".

Now that being said, this is a great set. The pieces are well built of high density plywood with a full magnetic sheet back and fully laminated surface picture. They should hold up well to normal use although I wouldn't suggest them for little ones who still put things in their mouths. There is a great selection of fruits and veggies. In fact, without a full description of the contents of the package, I had originally looked at the silhouette design on the side of the package and thought there would be repeat pieces. This is not the case; there are 35 different fruits and veggies which I've listed below. Even though I bought the set with repeats in mind to use for a matching game I am very pleased to have the larger selection instead and now I am ordering another set.

Set Includes:

apple

apricot

asparagus

avocados

bananas

blueberries

broccoli

cantaloupe

carrots

celery

cherries

chili pepper

corn

eggplant

garlic

grapefruit

grapes

kiwi

lemon

lettuce

lime

mushrooms

onion

orange

pear

peas

pineapple

potato

pumpkin

radish

raspberries

red bell pepper

strawberry

tomato

watermelon

I love how the magnetic part is not this dinky square, but rather it covers the full backside of these lovely wood magnets. I only wish the magnets were slightly bigger to be less of a chocking hazard. Also, some of the fruits and veggies could be illustrated better, such as the potatoes. And some of the pieces are small, such as the berries. But I would happily purchase this again and look at getting other Mudpuppy magnets.

Purchased for my 18 month d, but probably more appropriate for slightly older child. Some of the magnets are a tad small ( choke hazard) . Very cute designs and a great variety of fruits and veggies !

My daughter does put them in her mouth to "taste" them and they haven't peeled or anything.

She loves her food and now she can point out what she wants and is learning the names of healthy food.

We haven't had any issue with the magnet not sticking like some others have noted.

This product is AWESOME and I definitely recommend it!

Want Mudpuppy Wooden Magnetic Fruits and Vegetables Discount?

This is a very cute product and I would like to get something like this again, but there is a huge problem that brings the rating down to only 3 stars: the strength of the magnets. You can only place these magnetic cuties directly on whatever you want them to stick to, and not have anything between the magnet and the surface. For example, I like to keep pictures on my refrigerator door, but I can not place those pictures up there by using these magnets. The magnets will NOT stick to the refrigerator if I try using them to hang a picture or a piece of paper onto the fridge. Since that is the main reason I got these magnets, I can only give these 3 stars.

Pack N Snack - Snack Container

Pack N Snack - Snack ContainerI'm a sucker for things hanging on the shelves in grocery stores. Sometimes thy're of great use. Take these Pack n' Snack containers, for example. Now how often do you need a small container with a sealable cap to store a bit of unused food? Well, I seem to have the need all the time. I have some teflon containers but they're either too big or of an awkward shape or whatnot. Well, these Pack n' Snack food containers are just the ticket. They'll hold anything from leftover food, fruits, cat food, you name it. And they seal up nicely. And they can be stacked. And after using, they can be cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. What's not to like? Did I mention that they were cheap and can be used in the microwave oven?

Sassy On the Go Formula Dispenser, Green

Sassy On the Go Formula Dispenser, GreenThere's always formula powder stuck in the container and doesn't come out... and it makes such a big mess!

Not happy with these.

Loved how this held 4 portions of formula but the lid does not snap as tight as I would like it to. Don't get me wrong it does fit but just doesn't feel "secure" as my other formula containers.

So far this is the only four chamber formula holder, and, its cheap, and not easily broken like some hard plastic items. Good 'ol reliable, i used same one for my eldest two kids who are 12 months apart.... no problems in two years, now 8 tears later, i bought the same one!

The lid does fit on the container...resulting in formula all over my diaper bag. Bad design for a container that needs to tip upside down to pour

Want Sassy On the Go Formula Dispenser, Green Discount?

this formula dispenser is green and good

I have about three of these in my hood

Each one holds servings of three

and dispensing and cleaning is easy

This thing is a very straightforward design. It has three compartments, you twist to get to the next compartment. The cap works great, and it doesn't leak. Make sure you clean it every once in a while and make sure to dry it thoroughly. Otherwise, great product.

Earth's Best Oatmeal Cereal - 8 oz

Earth's Best Oatmeal Cereal - 8 ozIt is all natural, organic and It taste good. Yea I actually tastes food b4 I put in it my baby's mouth. I trust it over most baby food.

I'm a fan of Earth's Best products. The only ones we don't use are the formulas. I like this product and so does baby. The packaging is the only issue that I have with it. The box isn't designed for easy pouring and measuring. Its too easy to bend the box or tear the opening. I finally poured all of the contents into a seal-able glass container.

Little Green Pouch (4-pack)

Little Green PouchThe best choice over other reuseable pouches. If you are considering buying the U Fill pouches... don't! Yes Little Green Pouches are twice the price per pouch but are SO worth it. One of my Little Green Pouch seals broke just several weeks after using it ( it honestly could have been because I yanked the seal open roughly with impatience rather than being an actual product defect)and even though the company sent me a new 4 pack to replace just the 1 broken one (great customer service!) I thought I would try a different pouch.

Here are the reasons I recommend Little Green Pouch over U Fill:

U Fill's ziploc opens at the bottom. Little Green Pouch opens from the top. U fill leaks everywhere if even the slightest bit of puree gets into the zipper. They leaked all over my fridge shelves and I ended up cleaning puree drips off of every item below them. Little Green Pouch has never leaked, even when turned upside down and squeezed really hard by my 1 year old.

Because of the zippered bottom, it is impossible to stack U Fill in the fridge neatly. They must lay on their sides and they roll and slide around in the fridge. Little Green Pouch bottoms open up wide so when they're filled they stand upright, making a neat row in the fridge.

U Flll materials are flimsy. I can tell they will not last long I use pouches every day, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day with two children under 2 years old. For these to be cost effective, they need to last a while. Little Green Pouch materials are significantly sturdier. I have run Little Green Pouches through the dishwasher many times and they are still as sturdy as when they were new.

U Fill doesn't specify whether these are dishwasher safe, but that's mandatory for our lifestyle. Little Green Pouches are dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe and are BPA-free and phthalate-free.

Spend the extra money on Little Green Pouches, you'll be glad you did.

Incidentally, I'm not sure why another reviewer's expectation was for a valve to be in the spoutthese perfectly mimic the pricey pouched purees in the store the kids love so much. A valved spout does not function easily for babies used to sucking, is more involved to clean, and is an entirely different product.

UPDATE: I was using these every morning for a couple of weeks & was very happy with them. Then a seal came undone on one of the pouches, a few days later the same happened to another pouch. I'm going to contact the co & see what they say. I'll keep you updated!

UPDATE ON THE UPDATE: I received a VERY nice & fast response from the co. They said there has been an issue with the pouches & they are about to release version 2.0 to fix the problem. They offered to send me a brand new set of the new pouches once they're ready. I would recommend contacting the co directly to order these to make sure you get the new ones. If they have truly fixed the issue then these are above & beyond the best pouch I've found. I will keep you updated on the new version!

These little pouches make feeding my independent 10mo a lot easier.

After some trial & error here are some things that might help.

1) When the pouches arrive, before you open them at the top, blow into the spout to open up the bottom all the way

2) Cleaning: although these are dishwasher safe I don't recommend it. The water pools in the bottom of the pouch while its upside down & the dishwasher doesn't get them very clean. I've found the best way to clean them is a combo of soaking in hot water, using a bottle brush & the spray nozzle on your sink.

3) Filling: although you can spoon the food in, it's not very practical. I'd recommend the Squish Mini Funnel.

4) Contents: the pouches don't work well with anything sticky, even some things from the regular store bought pouches. I've had problems with banana, or mixing in cereal. The best mix I've found so far is some yogurt & fresh blueberries in the blender, it's watery enough for her to get it all out the pouch & its easy to clean up.

What I love about these pouches:

1) Even though they're not clear, they are translucent. This makes it easy to see how much food is left & where it is in the pouch & also makes them easier to get clean.

2) The spout being in the side is GREAT! My 10mo has an easier time feeding herself with this design, and she's able to get all the food out without much help from me. Also, when she's almost full & starts playing with the pouch less food comes out than when she plays with the pouches with a spout on the top.

3) You don't have to fill the pouch through the spout. This is the best part of their design! The seal at the top has never (knock on wood) come undone even with my baby swinging them around & throwing them on the floor.

4) Caps from all other pouches fit these (so start saving them now!) I've even thought I could use the colored caps to remind me what's inside the pouch.

Now, the one thing that could be improved

1) The pouches are not a solid piece of plastic. The bottom is sealed on with an overlap that creates a little pocket in the very bottom corners that the food gets stuck in. So again, be careful with sticky foods! Hopefully they're fixing this issue with the new version :)

My third child is my thinnest child. You would think in this day and age where everyone is worried about children being obese that I would be happy my guy is slender and fit. But NO, as a Mom I worry about everything! I've never had a child that fell below the 50th percentile on growth charts, so I am constantly worried about whether my guy is getting enough to eat.

As my son neared his first birthday he became more and more independent and refused spoon feeding; the only way I could get him to consume "enough" food was by feeding him the pre-made pouches of baby food. Well, those pouches are expensive and don't offer much variety. I searched the internet far and wide searching for a way to feed my son with a pouch that was refillable. Finding nothing that fit the bill, I resorted to washing out the store-bought pouches and refilling them with a turkey baster. What a pain!

In October I found Little Green Pouches just 2 weeks after they had released their first pouches and got my order in just before they ran out of stock! Our pouches arrived quickly and my guy LOVES eating out of them! I love how easy they are to fill and clean. I've kept some of the colored lids from the store-bought pouches and they fit our little green pouches perfectly; I use a color coding system with these lids to indicate what's in the pouch. My son will eat pureed vegetables and meat mixed together out of a pouch; he would never eat that combination out of a spoon. With the pouch, my guy is able to self-feed.

It's been my experience that the pouches are easy to clean with a baby bottle brush OR in the dishwasher. I can fit a little more than the 6oz the pouch claims to hold (probably more like 8oz). The zip-lock top stays closed even when flung from the highchair to the floor!

Overall, I would highly recommend these pouches to any parent.

Great product, but the price is no good.

No one should have to pay 19.99 for a 4-pack plus shipping and handling when the manufacturers website has a 4-pack being sold for just 14.99.

My 18 month old will eat anything if its in a pouch. The ones at the store that are premade are just way too expensive. These have worked out great. I've also gotten better than expected customer service from the company.
