Squooshi Reusable Food Pouch Replacement Caps (6 caps)

This makes life so easy! I have a toddler and a 1 year old so I rarely sit still, these make it so I can feed them our own food, inexpensively, and without all the added preservatives. My kids eat so many vegetables because they can slurp it out of the pouch!

Grimm's Set of 5 Small Wooden Stacking & Nesting Rainbow Bowls, Blue Outside

We love this toy. Bright colors, sturdy, safe, well-made. The small set is perfect for my nine-month-old who loves to bang them together, dump them out, chew on them, etc. Very engaging, even at this age. And as she grows they will encourage imaginative play. It's nice to have some no-frills old-fashioned toys to balance out the fun noisy plastic stuff.

We have had this toy for a few years and it's still used,and still in great condition. This is a great toy, timeless, educational, beautiful and will last to hand it down to others.

Just got these today---bought the version where the largest bowl is red. My 7th month old was immediately drawn to them(threw his teething biscuit aside!) and with gasps and squeals began rolling, banging, and chewing on the bowls. Beautiful design, nice rounded edges. Thought they would be a bit larger, but the bright, saturated colors make up for it. Was initially going to buy the Fisher-Price plastic version but decided to splurge on a longer lasting, higher-quality toy.

I hesitated to buy these at first because they were expensive, but I am glad that I ended up going for it. My 12 month old has been playing with them for about 3 months now and still loves them. This is a great toy to explore size relationships and, since everything goes in his mouth, I appreciate that the dyes are non-toxic. At first, some parts of the wood were a little rough, but those spots quickly evened out after some use with no harm done.

When I first got this item, I thought it was rather small and would get lost amongst the rest of the toys. Boy, was I wrong! My son will pull everything out to get to these bowls, well cups. He crawls around the house with one of them at all times. he loves to clang them on our wood floor, and clack them together. I feel that since they are dyed and not painted this makes the item more qualitynot prone to chipping from all the abuse.

Nature's Pillow 24 Pack Gyro Bowl, Green

This bowl was super ineffective I gave my daughter some shredded mozzarella cheese in (she loves the stuff) and only minutes later as she sat on the floor there was a huge mess. This did not keep the food contained at all. I had high hopes for the product especially for in the car, but I wanted to test it in the house first. I would not buy! Oh and my baby is 15 months old. I was actually skeptical of the product just wondering what would happen if it were thrown, but she didn't even get that far!

Purchased for use by my 2 yr old daughter, this is cut down lots on little spills, haven't used it for liquid only for solid snacks that I permit her to carry around the house, she has dropped it and it did as advertised kept all the gold fish inside.

it has quickly become her favorite bowl, wish I had a few more, but only 1 in the package.

awesome!!

Beaba 360 Spoon - The spoon that never turns over

It definately loses less food than a regular spoon. I bought it when my son was nine or ten months. The bowl of the spoon is much deeper than a standard baby spoon. Because of this, he had a hard time getting food off the spoon. Now that he's 14 months, he seems to have it mostly figured out.

What a clever idea. The adults had fun playing with it as well, before it was given to the child.

Buy Beaba 360 Spoon - The spoon that never turns over Now

This product really does what it is supposed to do. My 21-month-old daughter gets easily frustrated and impatient when using a spoon since she has not mastered the fine motor skill to properly level the spoon to put food in her mouth, resulting in spilled food, messy bib, and a hungry toddler. She would eventually put down the regular spoon and proceed to eat with her hands. After reading reviews, we decided to give the Beaba 360 a try. This spoon really does stay level and allows her to eat her food much more easily so she can feed herself with the spoon for much longer. The bright colors (we got the fushia/orange one) seem to really hold her attention as well and she really loves her new spoon!

It really does not prevent spilling. I ended up clicking it to make it stay and use it as a regular spoon. Don't waste your money.

If your toddler is beginning to use utensils this spoon will reduce frustration. Practice makes perfect and the self leveling of this spoon helps bites actually reach the mouth. The 11 month old wants to chew the weighted end but the 18 month old is so proud of himself when he uses this spoon. Easy to wash.

Nuby 4 Pack Embossed Bowls, Colors May Vary

First off I love the shape of the bowls they're not perfectly round and easy for my daughter to hold. Also, they fit enough breakfast cereal and milk without overflowing and causing spills.

The best part is that you can put them in the microwave without fear. And the icing is that they come in decent colors and wash and wear well. Have been using them continuously since I bought them and they haven't suffered any obvious wear and tear.

I love these bowls. The shape is slightly oval. It is deep enough so it's easier for my toddler to scoop the food. It's glossy on the inside and frost on the outside. It has fun designs on the outside, similar to the Munchkin multi-bowls. But this is microwavable, which I love.

Kiddopotamus Bibbity Rinse & Roll Bib in Blue

The only bib I will ever buy again. The only reason why I have replaced it once is that my dog loves it just as much as I do... I also love that you can put it in the dishwasher for a good cleaning.

I bought this coz its flexible and can be folded to be stuffed into my diaper bag. i could not possibly bring my babybjorn bib. Its great to use in restaurants and has good coverage. Though i thought that it is a little big and sometimes gets in the way of my baby when he is trying to feed himself cheerios. Overall, great product, am pleased

This bib has saved us big messes. It has a fastener which allows it to stay put (my son likes to yank his bibs off). It catches most food! It is large enough that it covers most of my son's shirts so that they stay clean. Washes easily. Reasonably priced. Would definately recommend this bib.

I love that the Kiddopotamus Bibbity Rinse & Roll Bib has a scoop to catch what my son drops and that it is easy to roll up and put in the diaper bag--unfortunately, my son pulls it off of himself very easily, regardless of how I adjust the strap. That's why I only gave it three stars.

My daughter-in-law says this is the most pliable, best bib ever. Would highly recommend it for infants who need something easier-to-handle.

Baby Bistro Brands Baby Bistro Box 2nd Edition

I was beating myself up trying to figure out what to get the expecting mothers in my family and old college friends who were expecting until I stumbled upon the Baby Bistro Box. It is such a practical item that encourages healthy habits for babies and expecting mothers and is packaged in a way that makes it an excellent gift. Thanks!

I lived by the bistro box with my daughter 9 years ago and I am enjoying just as much with my 6month old son. Great tips, info and recipes.

What an AMAZING little creation... PACKED with great tips and information about nutrition, not only for the baby, but for the mom-to-be as well. The format is so EASY to follow, with tabbed/color coded sections for a few months at a time, the individual cards pull out and you can read/take them anywhere. I especially love the cards with the shopping tips!! I pop one in my purse and head to the store finally "armed" with how to really read a label, what to look for, what to avoid in buying food, not only for the baby, but for my whole family as well. There are also great/easy/yummy recipes to try at home (and I am NOT a cook!), as well as tips for safety around the house. Our whole thought-process about eating/living well has changed for the better, we are so grateful for this gift it has changed out lives! OH! And I also just found out the "Toddler Box" is now available and I can't wait to get it!! If anyone wants to see more, check them out at Trust me, as a not-so-new, but still learning mom (my first is now two, and I have another on the way), this was the BEST baby shower gift I ever got. Thank you!!!

Petit Collage Memory Game

I really thought this might be a nice memory game. Only 12 cards that are too simple for most kids over 3 years of age. Cards are useful (cardboard) for young kids, but the colors are too muted for young children and many of the items in the pictures are not what they care about. I work with kids 2-10 years of age and I can't find a particular group for this product. Designs are mixed--some for older kids and some for younger and the color patterns the same. Confusing.

Philips Avent 10 Pack BPA Free Breast Milk Storage Starter Set, Clear, 6 Ounce

I use the Avent bottles and a Medela pump. With my first child I purchased several 4 oz and 9oz Avent bottles and sealing discs once I realized just how much I was spending in milk storage bags. It was considerably cheaper to invest in the bottles.

With the second child, now 4 months old, I had more milk to freeze than bottles. So instead of buying more bottles, I tried these. I will use them for the 3 allowed times, then I am going back to buying regular bottles as needed.

Downfalls:

-Hard to know if they are sealed, but not had issues with spilled milk since I only transport the milk when frozen.

-Can only be used 3 times; if you have lots of bottles, it's hard to keep track of this.

-Lids are not sold separately I have already cracked one.

-You still need a collar for the adapter to work as a bottle; the kit doesn't come with collars. You can't buy the collars separately.

-Measurements on the side are very faint and hard to read.

-If you fill them to the 6oz/8oz mark, there is not much room for expansion when the milk freezes. I only fill to 5oz or 7oz respectively for fear of explosion in my freezer.

-The regular 9oz bottles actually use less room for me in the freezer. I have found that a regular soda can rack works well in the freezer with the 9oz bottles. (freeze them upright first and then store them sideways in the rack easy to keep track of which milk is the oldest)

The only plus I have found to this, is that with the Medela/Avent converter, I will be able to pump into a sterile disposable bottle while traveling with my infant. Then I can feed her the bottle while in her car seat, eliminating long stops to feed. I have done this with the regular bottles, but then had to deal with storing empty bottles while traveling.

I made the mistake of purchasing several of the Via containers. My intention was to use them for freezing breastmilk rather than dealing with the slippery bags. They stack nicely, but that's where the pros end. They leaked constantly in my diaper bag, no matter how many times I tried re-screwing the lids. Using the adapter to insert an Avent nipple also resulted in a leaking mess. But, most importantly, after more than a few weeks in the freezer, the fat in the breastmilk in the containers began to break down faster into the "soapy smelling" lipids. This is common occurence in frozen breastmilk, but the smell and taste (yes, I tasted it to make sure it wasn't soured) was much worse than breastmilk that had been frozen the same duration in a Gerber SealnGo bag. Bottom line: Bags are easier; they are pre-sterilized and result in less surface area for air to get trapped in to cause milk fat breakdown. I love all of the other Avent products though( bottles, nipples, training cups/spouts).

This is a love/hate relationship

Love

That they work so well with bottle accessories and cups stuff later on.

They tack nice and don't take up too much room.

Fit right onto the Avent pump.

Store nice and works well for freezing.

Great stackability.

Easy to write on in pencil and erase (to know which batch comes first).

Hate

They were hard to screw on (the flat tops to the bottoms and many times were on crooked).

Leaked too much milk (and as any BFing mother knows... losing milk is well like losing money).

I use the Avent storage containers and I used to have problems with leaking. Two tips and you won't have that problem.

1) DO NOT OVERFILL THE CONTAINER. The tick marks go up to 7 ounces, but don't put any more than 6 in there (which is what they are advertised to hold). Any more than that and the milk gets into the seal.

2) Don't squeeze the container as you screw on the lid. The best way to attach the lid is to put the container on your counter and then screw the lid. Don't hold the container or squeeze it at all if you do, it misaligns the top.

My only complaint is that they are expensive and I'm storing a lot, so I need them in bulk.

I have 2 children and I am a HUGE fan of Avent products. After struggling with the storage bags with my first pregnancy, I was thrilled to read about these containers while I was pregnant with my second child. I immediately purchased them. They have been awful. When I shake them after warming, or when I am feeding my baby, the milk leaks through the seal. I am afraid to use them even just to freeze milk because I am concerned that if the milk leaks when you use them for warming or feeding, then how can it keep my stored milk fresh? I was so disappointed. I went back to using the storage bags and the regular bottles to store milk.

I have read customer complaints about the Avent bottles leaking too. When I originally began using them, I had the same problem. I called Avent and they informed me that you can make the bottle too tight. So after making the adjustment they described, I never had a leaking problem again. This was NOT TRUE for these disposable containers. No matter what I did I could not get them to work. Keep buying Avent products just not this one.

Freshfoods Stackable Cubes

one of the blue ones would not snap so that kind of ticked me off! but i love the bright colors

I use these cups, not to freeze, but to thaw cubes of frozen food for every day. Its good, and actually my son likes the colors. It has held up for all the tossing and turning that he does with these ... they are too small for me to get my spoon in and feed my son, but its a good toy for him to play with :-)

This is the worst $6 that I've ever spent. The lids do not snap on; they rest lightly on top the container. As a result, you cannot use them for traveling unless you rubberband the lid on. I thought I could still use them for at-home storage, but I was wrong. As I was putting something else away, the container full of carrot puree fell out of the fridge...landing on my sock and splattering both of my pant legs. My lone orange sock will serve as a reminder of how much I dislike this product.
