This review is from: Munchkin Sesame Street Re-Usable Twist Tight Spill-Proof Cups, 10 Ounce, 3 Pack (Baby Product)

My daughter loves these sippies, but the tops came a little misformed, so they are hard to close and I had to make the hole on the top bigger so she could drink through it with less frustration.

These cups are awesome! Although you have to put the lid on just right or it will spill everywhere.

10X Better than Boppy, easy to clean, use it standing up!, June 30, 2009

Y. R. Wu "The will to win is nothing without ... (Ann Arbor, Michigan) -

This review is from: My Brest Friend Deluxe Pillow, Light Green (Baby Product)

The removable cover (zipper) makes this easy to clean (just make sure the velcro is stuck to itself when you wash it or it will stick to all your nice socks.)

My wife tried a boppy for the first month then got this, which she used continually for the next year. She has used it for all 3 of our children. The Boppy my sister loaned us was pretty flat after she used it for only one child.

You can even use it standing up or when you move around since the strap goes around your back. The strap also provides back & lumbar support. The pocket is a nice touch (you put your Lansinoh, cell phone, baby nail clippers, etc in it) The only possible downside is it isn't that easy to put on with one hand (for example, if you are already cradling the baby)

If you're price sensitive look around, there are often significant discounts for older colors.

Brest Friend vs Boppy, September 13, 2007

Emily Hanks (Maryland) -

This review is from: My Brest Friend Deluxe Pillow, Light Green (Baby Product)

I bought "My Brest Friend" because my "Boppy" was losing it firmness. MBF is definetly more firm and hasn't lost the firmness. It also supports your back. I like MBF better than the Boppy. My son however still prefers the boppy. I think that MBF is too firm for him. It keeps him awake so he does eat better, but it is not good for the late night feedings where we want him to go to sleep.

Very comfortable, but cumbersome to put on, January 17, 2008

lorila (Hartford, CT) -

This review is from: My Brest Friend Deluxe Pillow, Light Green (Baby Product)

I used this for my baby's first month or so, while we were still getting the hang of breastfeeding. It was very comfortable and gave great support. I then stopped using it because I found it too awkward and time-consuming to put on and take off, especially while trying to hold the baby in one hand while he is wriggling and screaming for a meal. At those times, I wished I had a Boppy that I could just shove around my waist in a hurry.

My 7-year old daughter uses it to help her support the baby when she wants to hold him. It works GREAT for that, she can hold him without having to support all his weight with her arms.

PROS: It is very comfortable to wear and supported both me and the baby very well. This is a quality product, very sturdy and well-made. The cover zips off for washing.

CONS: It can be difficult to get the pillow around you and fastened when you are holding a baby in one hand. When your baby starts learning to sit up and you want something to support him on the floor, the Boppy works, but My Brest Friend doesn't.

I was very disappointed with the quality of these dishes. They are very small about the same size of a tea cup saucer. To be honest they look like toys. Would not recommend them for every day use.

This review is from: Green Toys BPA-Free Feeding Plate (Baby Product)

I have been eagerly awaiting the sale of these bowls & plates. How disappointed I was to open the box and see how tiny they are! Wow, my kids are both over the age of 2 and these are not adequate to hold the food that they would consume in one sitting. I kind of figured that from a line who creates "play size" tea sets & toys, they would bump it up a size for "real" eating. I guess I should have read the description and gotten out a tape measure to make sure I was getting usable size bowls & plates. Major disappointment and they will be sent back...

Comment on Philips AVENT BPA Free Bottle, 4 Ounce, Single Pack by Bobo

One of the better bottles we've tried to date, July 18, 2009

Bobo (Vancouver, BC | Silicon Valley) -

This review is from: Philips AVENT BPA Free Bottle, Single Pack (Baby Product)

We're on a product testing binge with our new baby. Born Free, Adiri, Medela, Nuby, etc.

This little gem doesn't look very fancy, but it turns out to be the best of the bunch we've tried yet.

The likes:
- Flow rate is the slowest of all the new-born bottles we've tried. Closer to the breast, makes baby have to work for it.
- Very simple bottle, unlike some other bottles, no finicky little pieces to mess around with. Just bottle, nipple and cap.
- Large, clear, easy to read volume markings. Very easy to measure quantities (you'd be surprised how many others screw this up). The printing on it so far has stood up to washing/sanitizing.

Complaints? Very minor.
- BPA free plastic, but is there anything else I should worry about? I'd prefer glass...
- Better nipple shape to mimic breast perhaps?
- *** Additional note: Other people we know have this and they say it ALWAYS leaks. I almost concur with them. For some reason, a lot of times, this bottle LEAKS like crazy. I usually end up having to open it up slightly and re-tighten and then it's okay. Since I use it at home only, it is a minor annoyance given the other plus points. But when I go out, I don't usually take this because it will leak and you'll lose fluid. So be warned...

Baby does not complain, so I think we'll probably be stocking up on more of these.

Buy the BPA-free Avent bottle made from Polypropylene (PPE) instead, October 21, 2009

K. Lam (San Jose, CA) -

This review is from: Philips AVENT BPA Free Bottle, Single Pack (Baby Product)

Stop! Do not buy these "old" Avent BPA-free bottles. These are the honey-colored Polyether Sulphone (PES) bottles that, for whatever reason, leaks for many people. They come in yellow-colored boxes. Instead, buy the newer Avent BPA-free bottles made from the Polypropylene (PPE), which has a cloudy appearance. These newer PPE bottles don't leak. These newer PPE bottles come in blue-colored boxes.

Better for Art than for Eating!, November 21, 2008

This review is from: BABYBJÖRN Eat & Play Smock - Blue (Baby Product)

I bought this to use as a giant bib since my boy is a very active eater who always seems to get the undersides of his arms covered with food. This happens when he twists and turns in his chair and reaches for food, drink, etc.,. The smock provides great coverage but it could benefit from a pocket along the bottom and it could be much easier to clean. I have other "safe" plastic/vinly type bibs that are much easier to clean so I hardly use this one. I would not recommend it for a messy eater or even a mildly messy eater as it does not clean or dry quickly, especially for the price. Also, the color is not very well defined so food can get under it fairly easily, a wider border would be helpful. I can absolutely see using it less frequently for art projects like painting.

This review is from: BABYBJÖRN Eat & Play Smock - Red (Baby Product)

I waited a really long time to buy this because it felt like a lot of money to pay for a smock. I regret waiting at all. It makes feeding time infinitely easier- I don't have to completely strip down my toddler anymore or spend hours trying to clean out stains. It's long enough to cover his lap beyond the highchair tray (if you don't use a tray, part of the legs will still be exposed for spills). The neck is high enough to cover his collar which used to get hit even with a bib. It's really easy to clean, and I'm no longer afraid to let my child feed himself goopy, staining foods! It's completely worth it and I wish I'd had it since he started solids. Later edit: We've now had this smock for about 2 years and it's barely showing signs of wear. I throw it in the laundry about once a week for a thorough cleaning and just wipe it down with a paper towel between meals. The best way to get it clean is to turn it inside out in the wash and then hang it over a chair. It will dry extremely fast and get really clean. If you don't turn it inside out, the sleeves have a hard time drying on the inside where the absorbent fabric is. We LOVE this smock and just ordered a second one for my daughter.

Around 8 months old, my daughter started spitting up her regular formula, a lot. We thought she might be reacting to all the foam created from shaking her bottles. We bought this stuff to supplement with her regular formula, and even one scoop makes all the foam go away. I would imagine its because it is partially broken down which makes it easier for them to digest. That was two months ago and we still supplement a small amount of this in each bottle for the de-foaming action. I know they say to wait an hour after you make a bottle for it to settle, but really, who has time for that?

Works to reduce gas, November 21, 2010

Dave of KC (Shawnee, KS United States) -

This review is from: Enfamil Enfamil Gentlease Infant Formula for Fussiness and Gas, For Babies 0-12 Months, 22.2-ounce (Health and Beauty)

Our son was having lots of problems with gas (we are breastfeeding and supplimenting) so we tried this formula. It reduced the amount of gas he had (I was counting the crying mad sessions) -- or at least the amount that he would complain about. It didn't eliminate it completely, although I really can't tell how much of that might be due to my wife's diet.

Regardless, if you have a gassy baby, you may want to give this a try.

It doesn't seem to dissolve as well as the 'regular' Enfamil, so you may want to use a knife or something to mash out any balls of Enfamil powder that form. After doing that, it doesn't have any problems finishing dissolving.

S. Kase "antiques" (Portland, OR USA) -

This review is from: Enfamil Enfamil Gentlease Infant Formula for Fussiness and Gas, For Babies 0-12 Months, 22.2-ounce (Health and Beauty)

I was using organic Earth's Best formula. I mostly breastfeed but have to supplement some due to supply issues. Anyway my daughter gets about 6-8 oz. of formula a day and the rest is breastmilk. She is 5 weeks old now. She usually needs 1 or 2 ounces of formula after breastfeeding in the late morning and late evening hours only. When she drinks only breastmilk she was not having problems but after giving her the Earth's best formula she would scream for about an hour afterwards.
She also often had projectile spit-ups and would burp and fart-a lot.
So last week I switched to this Enfamil Gentlease, but I just bought a small can from the grocery store to try it. With the very first 2 oz. bottle we saw the change. For the first time after a bottle she was content and went in her swing happily cooing and looking around and fell asleep after about 10 minutes and took a nice long late morning nap. It was great and this is all we will use now.
I am concerned that they do not offer this made with organic milk, I would rather have an organic milk to have less pesticides found in the cow's feed and no hormones or anitbiotics and I also do not really like that corn syrup solids is the #1 ingredient so I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for these reasons, but this formula does work for her and she is now a happy,content baby girl and our home is peaceful again.

I was willing to look past the fact that these spoons were made in china, but when they arrived with frayed plastic edges, they went right back in the packaging. Aside from that, I don't have time to handwash baby spoons. This product is of poor quality...and poor quality control.
