Razbaby Raz-Berry silicone Teethers Double Pack Both Colors in One Package.
This teether is NOT SAFE and DOES pose a serious choking hazard. The "mouth shield" is very flexible and allows an infant or small child to turn the teether sideways and get the entire thing into their mouth, as it happened with my 5-1/2 month old son recently. Fortunately, I was in the room when my baby got the entire teether stuck sideways in his mouth and began to choke, all within two minutes of his first time using the teether. The mouth shield and ring both need to be made of hard, inflexible material, the same as a pacifier, to avoid this choking risk.I recently contacted Razbaby.com and was told the following:
"We are very sorry to hear of your incident. The RaZberry teether has been
in the market since 2004 and we have never had this issue.
The RaZberry teether has been tested extensively for all the safety
standards for pacifiers. One of the many test that is performed is on the
shield (mouth guard) to make sure it does not present a choking hazard. It
has passed all the standards in the USA, Europe, Canada and Australia."
Nevertheless, the instructions on the back of the package clearly state "This product is not a pacifier or a toy." It also states "Do not tie the teether around baby's neck as it presents a strangulation danger." Really? Before or after they've choked on the teether itself?
I have researched this issue online and found that other many parents have complained of the same choking problem. Absolutely nowhere on the package does it even state the possibility of any risk of choking. Maybe pacifier testing standards are less stringent than toy standards (as most pacifiers are "built" the same.) Seems like every toy on the market has a statement of "may pose a choking risk" somewhere on the packaging, even puzzles and stuffed animals.
If you're going to buy this item from Amazon or anywhere else, be careful and watch your baby at ALL TIMES, but I wouldn't take the chance. It only takes one time.

My 6mth old had 2 teeth pop through and trying to find a smaller teether at the local stores was ridiculous. I wanted her to be able to hold the teether without knocking herself in the face with some big bulky thing. She loves these! I would definitely recommend them.My baby loves it, he can chew on any part of it. I've seen him try to stuff it in his mouth, and he's never succeeded despite having a ridiculously big mouth for a baby. Right up there with Sophie for us. I love especially that the nubby texture makes him not likely to suck on it, he had a tongue tie and gets easily nipple confused with bottle nipples or pacifiers, but he definitely treats this like a teether, NOT a pacifier, and that's great by me.Want Razbaby Raz-Berry silicone Teethers Double Pack Both Colors in One Package.

My son is 4 months old and he loves these! The nipple it too big for him to keep in his mouth but the chewy guard and handle are what he likes to chew on at the moment. He can easily hold the nipple and chew on the handle. When he is older he will love the nipple part I am sure of it!
Wean Green Garden Pack Lunch Cubes Glass Food Containers
Within the last year I discontinued using plastic containers and made the switch to glass. However, I was in need of small "travel size" containers for salad dressing, yogurt, as well as children's snacks. The cubes (and bowls) are perfect for my needs! These little gems are perfect for our on-the-go family of 5. I love the Garden Pack because with 4 colors I can easily keep track of any missing containers. I "assign" a color to each child (and hubby) so if I notice a certain color is missing then I know who to go to!

I love all of the Wean Green glass snack containers and was excited to replace my son's Lunchbot with this sandwich container. Well, I can fit half a sandwich and some carrot sticks in theWean sandwich container. It's cute, but it really needs to be larger to be a true sandwich container.Read Best Reviews of Wean Green Garden Pack Lunch Cubes Glass Food Containers Here
These are perfect sized containers for kids. They do hold a "regular" sized sandwich if you cut off the crusts (which works out well since my kids don't like the crust much anyway we just crumble it up and feed it to the birds). With that said, I don't typically send my kids with sandwiches. Instead I fill half the container with veggies and the other half with a little rice and meat. A kid sized, balanced meal all in one container. I really prefer the multi-colored four packs because I can designate a color for everyone (makes keeping track of them very simple). I also have the coordinating cubes and bowls these smaller sizes are great for so many things.Want Wean Green Garden Pack Lunch Cubes Glass Food Containers Discount?
These containers are great for storing baby food especially in the freezer. I love the way the tops 'lock' would recommend this product for sure!

My nine month old, almost ten month old daughter loves these and has yet to get any teeth. Virtually no mess unlike other teething biscuits that seem to cover her in slime afterwards. I carry them in the diaper bag and it's one of her first finger foods that she likes to feed herself. Perfect for small hands.Want Gerber Graduates Cookies, Arrowroot Cookies, 5.5-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 6) Discount?
cookies are not mushy or messy, little ones can easily bit into them with a couple of teeth and crunch them up, they do not get mushy or slimy. Easy to break in two and have one half at a time.

Just purchased this item along with another seemingly identical product Kidsme Food Feeder Essential Set (2 Food Feeders and Replace Sacs of Small and Large Size, 1 Ribbon Clip Holder) because it was an "add on" for about $5, so I thought, "Why not?"Perhaps if I'd not had them to compare side-by-side, I would not feel as I do about this particular design although I'm pretty sure I would regardless...
This thing popped open within the first minute that my six month old had it! The "catch" on it is NOT secure, and is just a mess waiting to happen. The Kidsme brand has an actual locking tab, which makes it WAY worth the price difference, in my opinion. Who wants to buy a product that inevitably will make a huge mess and frustrate their baby?! This was an "add on" for a reason...
Because of the inability to get a solid closure on this product, I would NEVER recommend this it to anyone but will recommend Kidsme to everyone (and already have)! In this case, you truly get what you pay for...
Additionally, the latch on it isn't very secure. I don't feel comfortable taking my eyes off my baby while she has this thing in her mouth. I'd like to be able to turn around and do the dishes for a minute, but i just can't. If they could improve the latch i'd give this product 4 or 5 stars.
EDIT: Now that we've been using this for a few months I have to give it another star. It's a pretty great little invention, honestly. We use it EVERY SINGLE DAY in this house and the latch doesn't seem to be as finicky as I originally thought. I really love this product, and so does my baby! She uses this to eat bananas, avocado, peaches, melon, all kinds of stuff. Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program 3.5 stars
Let me be perfectly honest with you, first of all, and say that I let my 1 year old try this thing out first. My youngest little one won't meet the world for a few more days, Lord willing. I'd saw several of the other reviews beforehand, so I was watching mainly for the latching problem. He had the latch open almost immediately, and he wasn't even trying to open it. Just chewing. So, I agree with the others about the bad latching! That said, as long as you're watching your little one with this thing, I still don't think it will be a huge issue. The opening to put the food is on the small side, so you have to stuff whatever you're putting in there into the "pouch". The only issue I could foresee is if you put a big chunk of apple or something similar, and your little one bit it in half, then opened it up, and swallowed a chunk of apple. A choking hazard, for sure, if you're not watching him/her. Let me be clear again that I DO NOT recommend handing this to your baby unattended due to the latching issue. (And don't misunderstand me. I know it's simply not possible to watch your little one ALL the time. I just recommend it with this thing). Plus, let me remind you that while I do have experience with these types of feeders(#3 is on the way, and my oldest is 4), I haven't used this particular one on my youngest yet.
I've used the mesh kind of feeder before, and although there wasn't the latching issue, I simply didn't like it. I loved the fact that this one has a silicone feeder. It comes apart enough to clean well, which is a HUGE deal to me. When I don't feel I can clean a product enough, it goes in the garbage! This is also a great teething "toy" for your little ones first teeth coming through. If there's already teeth, I think they will chew through this particular silicone pretty quickly. On gums, though, I think it will be perfect. So, to make sure you get your money's worth, you could always use this as a teething toy if teeth come first, or a teething toy after solids, if you don't like the way it works for that purpose.
Overall, it's not a bad product, but I would like that latch to be more secure!

My 11 month old was able to pop this open in just a few seconds, it is a choking hazard and should be recalled.Want Clevamama Clevafeed Discount?
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I haven't had the "it just pops open!" problem that other have reported. To me, the latch seems fairly secure, and the kid hasn't managed to open it yet. She loves this though: easy to grasp, and a perfect size and texture for her mouth (oh, and it holds food!). The only negative is that she cries when I take it away.I haven't tried any of the similar mesh-type feeding things, but think I would prefer this silicone style anyway.
Boon Owl Snack Stack Container
I have the same complaints as the previously mentioned. The lid isn't impossible to get on but it is aggravatingly difficult. You literally have to line up THREE bumps on the lid to their corresponding divots on the cup. WHO, really WHO wants to deal with the hassle of lining things up when they have a crying toddler who just wants his/her puffs? It is so unnecessary! Also the lid that is supposed to allow fingers to get to snacks is so freaking stiff! I kept thinking it was like a baseball glove and needed to be broken in, but nope it's just bad bad design. C'mon Boon! this is such a was of money!

I wish I would have read the comments before I bought this... Worst snack container ever! Theres no way my little one is going to be able to put his hands into the top of the snack holder, its so stiff I can barely move them. Putting it together is such a pain, makes you want to throw it across the room! Wish I would have played around with it before I washed it so I could send it back. Biggest waste of money, DO NOT BUY THIS, I guarantee you will regret it.Read Best Reviews of Boon Owl Snack Stack Container Here
I bought this at a local high-end housewares store today. As soon as I opened it, I was very surprised at how awful this product is. The pieces are impossible to connect, and the snack cup topper is so hard it hurt to put mu finger through. The flaps don't move at all. I'm not going to let my little girl get her hand stuck in there!Want Boon Owl Snack Stack Container Discount?
I thought the concept of this snack cup was awesome, but the product I actually received was terrible in every way. The container is SO small my kid can not even fit his hand in it. The flap on the top of cup prevents my son from sticking more than 1 finger in to cup, and forget being able to get ANYTHING out of the cup. All in all I have to say I am rather disappointed in this product and I wont be purchasing anymore of their items.Save 48% Off
Similac Alimentum Hypoallergenic Baby Formula, Ready to Feed
Just wanted to say that my son was premature and had severe reflux and allergies to the milk protein. This formula was better than any other, even the Neocate. Just a side note, the liquid formula IS different than the powder. The liquid formula doesn't contain corn solids and the powder does. I had my son on the powder and he would arch and pull away after two ounces (his twin sister could take about 5-6 ounces at this point and his weight was much less than hers). I switched to the liquid and he sucked it down like he hadn't eaten in months. It's very expensive but totally worth it in our circumstance! The only reason it doesn't get five stars is b/c, yes, it has a horrible smell... but he likes it so I don't really care what it smells like!
Buy Similac Alimentum Hypoallergenic Baby Formula, Ready to Feed Now
Insurance companies may cover the cost of hypoallergenic formula if it is deemed medically necessary, either by reimbursing you what you've spent on it, or if you get it as a prescription through your pediatrician. Many doctors don't know this, so they don't know to give a prescription for the formula. Call your insurance company today!Hypoallergenic formula was necessary for our daughter's acid reflux. For my insurance to cover it, my doctor had to provide 1) a signed letter stating the condition it's needed for, 2) a copy of the diagnosis in the baby's chart, and 3) a copy of the prescription.

My baby was breastfed for several months, but I decided to wean her because I was exclusively pumping. She has a milk protein allergy so we were limited to the type of formula we could give her. We tried the Alimentum and Nutramigen powder and she hated both of them and cried, spit, and choked through a bottle if there was one ounce of either of them in it. I tried the ready to feed after I read that it didn't have corn in it and the first time I gave it to her, it she drank it without an issue. Some reviewers talked about the smell, which hasn't been an issue. I think it smells fine. It is expensive, but we are able to submit the cost difference between this and regular formula for reimbursement through our health care flex spending account.Want Similac Alimentum Hypoallergenic Baby Formula, Ready to Feed Discount?

Kids Preferred Spot 5 Piece Feeding Set
I chose this set because I wanted one that had a two-handled cup. The cup is great (we don't use the cover that came with it) easy to handle, just the right size. The other elements are also nice, especially the spoon and fork. The spoon is a nice size and shape, and the fork tines are pointed enough to actually stab a piece of food successfully, unlike many toddler forks in which the tines are too rounded to make it function. The plate and bowls are a nice size and are light and durable. The spot motif appeals to my toddler, who likes her 'Spot's First Walk' book.

My grandson was delighted with the images of Spot on his dishes. "Where's Spot?" is one of his earliest favorites and at 16 months, I gave him this feeding set and he was so delighted he had to be constrained from dumping out his food to look at Spot. He loves to hold the utensils in one hand while he eats with the other, then take the utensils with him when he gets down from his high chair. So this is a big fave with the grandson. It's a big fave with me and his parents as well. It's well-made, attractive, and has held up nicely through many dishwasher cycles.Read Best Reviews of Kids Preferred Spot 5 Piece Feeding Set Here

green sprouts Sprout Ware Plate and Bowl Set
We love these plates/bowls. Like the other review says, when you put them together they don't create a seal, but we still use them probably three times a day. They're just the perfect size for my 5 and 2 year old. I pack lunch to go in here quite a bit, but we're careful not to slosh them around.

When these came, I was super excited only to be disappointed. Since these are divided plates, you would expect the lid to prevent food to move between dividers. There is a good amount of space between the lid and the dividers. Poor design. Other than that, cute and Better than plastic!
