Reusable Cloth Snack Bag - Green Stripe

Reusable Cloth Snack Bag - Green StripeI have these bags in different colors and the sandwich size too. I like how they are dishwasher safe (top rack, inside out). They do not stain and my sons love them too. I get asked about them all the time and they last a long time.

First, this bag is tiny. I read the dimensions before buying and it's smaller. Also it's not flexible at all. I was only able to fit a handful of goldfish crackers in the bag without having to crush them trying to close it. WAY overpriced for what you get. Save your money and just make your own.

I have a two year old and this is perfect for her snacks. I am tired of using plastic bags all of the time. It's easy to wipe down, she can undo the velcro by herself, and I love the modern print. Perfect snack size.

Skip Hop Bento Diaper Bag in Olive

Skip Hop Bento Diaper Bag in OliveIm about to have my third (another boy!) and needed a bigger bag to accomodate everything for a 5, 3, and newborn plus a few things for me. :)

This bag is SO practical, I love it. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I wish is was a little prettier I knew I had to have the cross body strap which is why I still got it.

There are so many helpfull pockets, and the options for organizing and food are more than enough! Highly recommend for moms (and Dad's) of multiple kids.

I am very unhappy about the zippers provided in this bag.I purchased this bag on April 25, 2012 from Amazon.com. By the third month the first zip stopped working and by now none of the zips are working. Its sad that they are using such low quality zips for this bag.

It's hard to find it all in one bag.

This one is pretty great I have the mustard yellow color and love it.

PROsI love the built-in snack area at the bottom, the stroller clips, the size and kind of pockets and places to keep things organized

CONs1. It's heavy 2. The containers that come in the snack bag are almost impossible to open. But plenty of other containers fit in there, so they're easy to replace.

My husband and I were very excited to discover a bag that is neutral in gender, (no polka dots, bows, etc.) has a TON of capacity, came with the snack pack, and had the added bonus of the insulated cup/bottle compartments on the sides. We brought it home and much to our frustration the left cup/bottle compartment zipper blew when we went to zip a normal sized bottle in it. When we picked our son up from daycare the second day, the right zipper had blown also. Great Bag, but get a higher zipper quality, Skip Hop. I was hoping that a $100 bag would last through two children. Now we'll have to look at another bag when the second baby comes around. We may look at Skip Hop again, but only if the quality issues have been addressed.

Let me start by saying that the idea behind this bag is great. I love the mealtime kit that comes in the bottom of the bag. My daughter is only 10 weeks, so I am actually using that space for diapers and wipes. The insulated mealtime kit will hold about 8 NB or size 1 diapers, Butt Paste, and a thingy of disposable dirty diaper baggys. I also stick my Skip Hop wipes case in the bottom zipper compartment. The issue I have with the bag is the built in hard bottom to the inside compartment of the bag ( the piece between the main part of the bag and the bottom zipper compartment where the mealtime kit goes). It sits unevenly when everything is in the bag and makes the inside main compartment lop sided. I end up having to take everything out, straightening this inside piece, and then put everything back in. It doesn't disrupt the functionality of the bag so much as it is just annoying. Also, formula drips stain and show on this color (olive)...so if you are formula feeding, take that into account. There are many compartments to this bag, which does help me stay organized. I do wish that the parent compartment was a bit bigger, as it only will hold my keys, wallet and cell phone. I do feel like the main compartment is a bit hard to see/access when the bag is completely packed though.

Although I like this bag, I probably would not buy it again if given the choice.

Gerber Cereal for Baby Single Grain Rice -- 8 oz

Gerber Cereal for Baby Single Grain Rice -- 8 ozThe packing is not sealed,When receiving spilled some in cellophane.Even worse, with less than three months to the shelf life.

Gerber cereals have soybean oil in them!! Parents who have a baby who is sensitive/allergic to soy and don't know it may well wind up thinking that their babies are reacting to the cereals, when it's the unnecessary added ingredient. Every parent should carefully check labels for everything, regardless of how well trusted the brand is! (I'm amazed by all the crap Gerber puts into their foods, their toddler meals have insane amounts of sodium in them, but that's not related to the cereal.)

Also, the boxes leak out the bottom every time you pour. Messy. Another major brand had cartons (like OJ cartons) but seems to be discontinuing that packaging, which is sad... they worked so much better!

Ikea 36 Pcs Kalas Kids Plastic BPA Free Flatware, Bowl, Plate, Tumbler Set, Colorful

Ikea 36 Pcs Kalas Kids Plastic BPA Free Flatware, Bowl, Plate, Tumbler Set, ColorfulLike most people with toddlers, my cupboards were overflowing with mismatched dishes. I had to do something, and after reading the reviews i was attracted to these primarily because they are microwave safe. Now that I have them, I couldn't be happier. The colors are bright and fun. The dishes are the perfect size. The flatware is big enough that she will be able to use it for years to come, the spoons actually hold food, the forks easily grab onto things, and the handles are thick enough for little hands to hold. The lip on the plates help keep everything on the plate when she is digging in, and the little cups are short enough that I don't worry about her knocking them over. Best of allthey all stack!! Great buyin fact, I might grab another set to give as a gift!

I bought this set for myself to take to work to use for lunch. It's just the right size for smaller meals, so is not just for kids. The colors are cheerful and the set is heavy enough that I believe it will be very durable.

I have bought a few other kids plates and cups over the years and these are by far the sturdiest. The plastic is very thick and sturdy. I am very impressed. My kids are 2,4,6 and they love to pick the colors that they are going to eat with.

I absolutely love these! My daughter is one and a half and she can use them! They are a little large for her but the forks actually keep food on the spokes, they are a bit pointy but very kid friendly. They're super sturdy, non of this flimsy plastic crap. Love love love them.

I haven't had these very long but they seem to be wearing well (they haven't stained or turned white in spots from the microwave/dishwasher). The large handles make it easier for kids to use and the mix and match colors are fun. For the price I paid and the amount of stuff I got, I have no regrets. Very good purchase.

Earth's Best Organic 2nd Wholesome Breakfast, 4.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)

Earth's Best Organic 2nd Wholesome Breakfast, Apple Yogurt Oatmeal, 4.5-Ounce JarsThis baby food, labeled for 6+ months, contains heavy cream. My baby could not digest it; we had a very bad day. Maybe I missed that in the description, but in any case, everywhere I've read and according to my pediatrician, you're supposed to avoid cow's milk products before age 1 (why they make formula using cow's milk and not a much more digestible milk like goat baffles me and is a rant for another time--my son drinks the lactose free kind, in any case). I ordered another variety of "Wholesome breakfast" too: Pear, Apple, Oatmeal. Same thing there. I'm guessing they all have heavy cream in them.

Our nine-month-old daughter is ready for a more substantial breakfast than plain cereals. We want her to get the nutrients and vitamins she needs (especially iron), so plain fruit or vegetables aren't enough. This blend of fruit and grains (and, in some cases, yogurt) provides everything she needs for a good breakfast and keeps her full for several hours. Plus, the flavors are not overly sweet. One note: at least two of these flavors include yogurt. Some babies younger than 1-year may have a reaction to yogurt and other dairy foods, so just watch out for that.

I wish Amazon would include a list of ingredients on baby food in bulk. This has cream in it and my baby has a cow's milk intolerance. I had already opened the jar when I read the ingredients and now I'm stuck with 15 jars of food I can't use. So disappointing.

My daughter loves Earth's Best food items but after two broken shipments from Amazon, I decided to buy from the grocery store. I sent an email to Amazon but my issue was never resolved.

Baby Food Maker - Sage Spoonfuls Award-Winning All Natural Baby Food System - "Let's Get Started" P

Baby Food Maker - Sage Spoonfuls Award-Winning All Natural Baby Food System - 'Let's Get Started' Package with Immersion Blender and Food Processor, Storage Jars, Trays, and Recipe BookWhen I first bought this product I was worried that it would be a waste of money or too difficult to use. I was wrong. So so easy! Everything is a great quality. And the recipe book is amazing! It is extremely detailed which this first time mom needs. It breaks down all the food into age groups. There is just a ton of information in this book. If you do not want to purchase the whole kit I highly recommend you purchase the recipe book.

I got this Sage Spoonfuls kit as a baby shower gift and I have to say I LOVE it! I actually wasn't planning on making my own baby food, because I work full time and don't even cook, but when I opened the box and started flipping through the book (which is amazing by the way!) I saw how really easy it is. I absolutely love the storage jars! They're the perfect size, they don't leak, you can put them in the dishwasher and I really like that they're made in the USA. Plus, the kit comes with so many that you only have to make baby food once every few weeks, just prepare in big batches and store in the freezer. I also really like the blender and food processor. They're good quality, don't make a lot of noise and I love that I can use them for more than just baby food. As someone who had no intention of making her own baby food, I am so happy I got this kit, because I didn't realize how easy it is and how much healthier homemade is for my baby.

My husband got this as a gift for me for the holidays as we have a small baby in the household and the baby is starting to have real food. He knew I wanted to start making food but had no idea where to go so he got this for me. I never heard of Sage, but so far its great. The book included has given me some very easy ideas and I know this is much healthier than store bought formulas. I'll keep you posted if anything goes wrong, but love it so far.

This is a great product. First of all... it does the job well. Nothing complicated, not too many parts to put together and take apart. Easy clean, can store easily under counter/in cabinet. Puree works well and immersion is great for bulk amounts and storing. I personally LOVE the cookbook. I think it is clean, straight to the point of "how to" and I love that it included great suggestions for different food combinations. The storage containers are a good size. You can also use the immersion for soup and other home made dishes that aren't JUST for BABY! =) Overall... I would definitely recommend this.. and I did A TON of research (Im talking hours and hours for days and days) and finally landed on this. I just love that it doesn't have to sit on your counter all day every day and does everything it says it should no complications or tricky quirks so far. I make bulk to last 3-4 days and then store it away until the next time I need it VERY NICE! =)

Mealtime Infant Spoons - Pack of 4 (Colors Vary)

Mealtime Infant Spoons - Pack of 4The long handles are easy to hold. The nice shape of the spoon is very compatible for baby's mouth (this was the reason I bought these). My complaint is that the soft spoon part changes color after usage. The plastic on the spoon part also starts to peel off, so we stopped using it. So the set of 4 spoons lasted a little over 3 months for me before I have to go buy another set. I'm going to try another brand to compare.

I got 3 types of spoons at my baby shower so when it came time to use them i was very excited. These are by far the best! I got some Tommee Tippee ones and they were not shaped well for a baby's month at all! Very happy!

I bought a package of these spoons at the store and love them so much I went looking for more. It has been about 7 months since we started using them, and I was unable to find them at the stores, so I'm excited to find them on amazon. The leading edge on them is flat, and the bowl is pliable, both of which make scooping up food easier. The bowl is nicely rounded, which makes it so the food doesn't get pushed right off the spoon when I'm feeding my baby, as happens with the other "traditional" type spoons that we have always used. Yes, they get a bit discolored by brightly-pigmented food, but they hold up great.

We started our four month old on solids using these spoons. The longer handles are easy to hold and feed with, the larger end gives mom or dad an easy grip on the spoon. The spoon head is nice and narrow for little mouths, and is soft and shaped nicely for cleaning up dribble along the way. Although the handles are easier for parents to grip, they do tend to fall out of bowls easily, due to the larger ends. Also, we noticed after feeing our son orange foods that the edges of the spoons are becoming stained.

These are very good spoons for beginners, I sued since my baby was 4.5 month old. The are soft flexible and not too big for their little mouths. The long handle is a plus in the beginning as well, but it can also cause the spoons to fall out of the bowl because it is so long. The biggest drawback for me is that after a short period of use, the edges on the back of the spoons start peeling off (the thin layer of plastic or something starts coming off), and I stop using them and buy another set, which is much cheaper at babiesrus by the way. Also, if you use them on like sweet potatoes or carrots, the spoons may change color to an orange hue, not the handles though. All in all, I would recommend it anyway because I found them to be most comfortable spoons, but you need to change them after a while.
