These bottles are a little more expensive than others ($58 for 6), but you only need to buy them once. They are BPA free, and have the internal venting system, which reduces colic.. this was why I decided to try them. I know a lot of people are weary of buying them because they're glass, and I felt the same way at first.. what if they break and my son gets hurt? But let me te...

My mother in law bought this for me when my son was born, and it has been a life saver on many occasions. Sometimes I'll need to go grocery shopping alone with the baby, and run into this problem; I only have one pair of hands, so I can't push both a stroller and the grocery cart at the same time.. and using the infant seat (I have the KeyFit 30, which is too big to use in the child sea...

In the last four and a half months, we must have tried every brand of diaper there is out there! In our search for a good formula, our son had some bad constipation.. he wouldn't be able to poop for three or four days, then the three or four days of poop would all come out at once. In the case of such poo explosions, the Pampers® Swaddlers, and the regular Pampers® definat...

I've done a lot of travelling, and stayed in many places, from budget motels, to five star hotels.. but this was by far the most memorable one. Before the trip, we'd read up a lot about the hotel, so we were prepared for the worst. We brought our own sheets for the bed, and flip flops for the shower, etc. Our first thoughts on seeing the room was that it wasn't half as bad as we wer...

I used Clairol Naural Instincts hair dye for the first time last night and loved it! I had bought another kind of hair dye, and didn't like how it turned out. So my sister highly recommended Natural Instincts. She has been using it for a couple of years now and says it's the best over the counter kind you can buy. I got a light-medium brown color, and I loved how it turned out. The...

I had this book on my baby registry, and recieved it as a gift when my son was born. I decided to try making my own baby food for a few different reasons ; I know exactly what is going into his little tummy.. no added sugars or fillers, pesticides, etc.. better freshness, better variety, and you save money! This book has awesome ideas of different fruits, vegetables and meats that can be mixed ...

I thought I'd try these and see what they were like because they're so much cheaper than the more known brands such as Pampers®.They were so thick, stiff, bulky and uncomfortable compared to more expensive brands. They have no stretch and not very absorbant at all. They also leaked really bad, so he couldn't wear them overnight, or if we were outside the house since he needed to...

I have suscribed to this magazine since before my son was born. I plan on homeschooling, and have collected so many fun and creative ideas from this magazine for when he gets a little older. I have saved every issues, so I can read back over them in a few years time, when he is on a different skill level. They have awesome crafts and recipes, as well as party and travel ideas, and a lot of seas...

I used this card with no problems for the first year or two.. paying off the balance every month, and all was fine. Then we moved across the country and had to live off of our credit cards for a month since my partners job fell through. The CapitalOne card was very close to the credit line by the time we had some money coming in.. keeping in mind the credit line was only $700. When I went ...

I love the Rainforest collection by Fisher Price. I have the baby bouncer, the swing and the jumperoo. Bouncer - I found the bouncer to be the most useful when my baby was first born. It was suitable from birth, and provided a comfortable and safe place for my baby to sit while I cooked, cleaned or showered. After a few weeks he started showing interest in the waterfall, and eventually started ...

I love this bag! I bought it for it's size.. I wanted something small and stylish, and easy to carry around, because I was sick of carrying a big bag with only a few things in it. It's small, but big enough that it can hold ta couple of bottles, a travel pack of wipes, a few diapers, medicines, sunscreen, an extra outfit, a toy, my wallet, keys, phone ...

Baby Gap is my all time favourite baby clothing store. Much like the regular Gap (where I buy the majority of my own clothes), they have great quality clothes.. they can be worn and worn, child after child, and still stay in great condition. They don't shrink or fade in the wash. I have friends who have passed them down through four children, and the clothes still look like new. Not only ar...

I'm neutral about this poduct.. it woks great, but I feel that there is not much need for it. I had originally put this on my baby registry, then later taken it off when someone commented that they were a waste of time and money. When my baby was born though, he would scream when I'd wipe him with a cold wipe.. so I went out and bought one. I used it for a week or two before realizing t...

I've used this since my son was born, and he is now 4 months old. I wanted to co-sleep with him, but I was terrified of one of us rolling over onto him during the night if he was in bed with us. I love that he is still right there next me, and if he wakes up during the night he can see me there, or if he wants a feed, I can easily just pull him into bed with us without having to get up. But...

The BornFree glass bottles are my #1 favourite bottles.. but these come in a close second. Like the BornFree, they are BPA free, and have the internal venting system to reduce colic. I bought a pack of three of these to try.. they are plastic (although they are available in glass if you prefer), and thinner than the BornFree, so I thought they would be easier to carry around in the diaper bag. ...
