Nature’s Touch™ Baby Papasan™ Cradle Swing

December 29, 2008 1 Comments

Fisher Price just barely discontinued this swing, we bought one at Babies 'R' Us for our new baby. He loves it! The swing goes both ways, left-to-right (with baby facing you) or side-to-side. It has not one, not two, but SIX swinging speeds. My son absolutely loves the mirror that's on the underside of the mobile. The mobile turns while it's swinging, and there are adorable little bees on it too. They twirl all around. It did take us a little bit of effort to assemble, but that's to be expected, right? I was surprised at how easy it is to operate. The music can be overwhelming at times, which is a reason why the volume adjustment feature is fantastic! The seat that baby sits in is oh-so-cozy looking! It's easy to remove, and machine-washable. As a mom to a three year old AND an infant, that's a major plus in my book! The swing legs fold inward for easy transportation. (And storage too! Although, we don't have the need to put ours away yet.) The only downfall I have about this swing, is the batteries run out way too fast! Thank goodness for Sunbeam batteries from the dollar store!

Playtex Drop-Ins Bottles

December 10, 2008 1 Comments

Who hasn't lost a bottle while it still has formula (or breast milk, or later on, juice) inside? I swear our couch has a magnet system underneath it that sucks the bottles under. I just came across a "not-a-Playtex-Drop-In" bottle that I could have sworn I left behind at a Halloween party! I of course threw it away, because that's nasty, and I'm not cleaning it out.

Had I used a Playtex Drop-In Bottle, I wouldn't have had to thrown it away! My favorite thing about them is the liners. Seriously?! Why did I even use the "not-a-Playtex-Drop-In" bottle for his first 4 - 6 weeks of life? Besides the fact that it was smaller, and I like the silicone nipples, they're so messy and hard to clean. (When you don't own a bottle brush!) Playtex are the way to go! I have used Playtex Drop-Ins for both of my boys. I have to say that Holden, our 8 week old son who is exclusively formula fed now, is much less gassy when I feed him with the Playtex bottle verses the "not-a-Playtex-Drop-In" one. They're so easy! You pop out the old liner, give ithe bottle and nipple a quick rinse in hot water, slide in a new one, and Voila! Ready to use again, without taking 10 minutes to clean it out with a sponge, or, my version of an improvised bottle cleaner: a wooden spoon with a dishcloth wrapped around the handle. :)

For ease of use, easy-to-clean, not to mention, very-much-like-a-breast-nipples, Playtex Drop-Ins are the way to go! They're now BPA free too! Always a plus in my book.

The start of my product reviewing!

December 02, 2008 1 Comments
So... I have decided to follow the opinion-needing path several mama's I know have taken... product reviewing! Can't wait to start. I love things. I love trying things. Most of all, I love sharing an opinion with other moms (and dads too!) to help them to know if it's a good product to try or not worth their time/money. :D I'm so excited for my new blog!
