I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and although they are out of diapers now, they used to have diaper rashes just like any other child. I tried a number of different products in my quest to keep their bottoms dry and comfortable. I used so many in fact that I started to wonder if there were any diaper creams that actually did what they were supposed to. I found that most of the creams would wipe off my children's bottoms after a few minutes of walking or crawling in their diapers. By the time they actually soiled their diaper, there was nothing left of the cream to ...

Since we are taught not to use a microwave to heat baby bottles or baby food I decided to get a bottle warmer.  I only looked at and purchased this one.  This was the only one at the store and I didn't need anything real fancy.  The looks alone caught my eye just because purple is my favorite color.  After you put the bottle or jar of baby food into the warmer you fill the warmer with water. The amount of water you fill it with is according to the size of the bottle.  If the bottle is a small bottle you fill the warmer to the top of the milk.  If the b...

With the coming of our 3rd child, we realized we'd be swamped in diapers from 2 sources. We're notoriously bad for just tossing soiled diapers in a pile and dealing with them come garbage day, so we decided on purchasing a Diaper Genie. The Diaper Genie 2 features a lid, a retracting odor bocking clamp, and a built-in bag cutter. The system can hold roughly 15-20 soiled diapers (size 4), or up to 30-35 size 1 diapers.When the included bag dispenser runs out, you can buy a refill for about $8. The smell is fairly well controlled, but not perfect (considering it has no deodorizin...

When I was registering for my baby shower, I cam across this wipe warmer and thought it might be a good idea. If anything, I thought our soon to be new baby would appreciate a warm wipe on their little toosh instead of an ice cold one! I read the reviews on Babies R Us's website about this warmer and it seemed pretty even on the pros and cons. So I decided to put it on my registry. I ended up getting it as a gift, and I'm sure happy I did! This wipe warmer is very easy to use. All you do is load it (not too full) with any brand of wipes, add a little water to keep them moist, lock t...

These are the pacifiers my son was given when he was born at the hospital. They are a one piece pacifier that is competely covered in silicone so it is very comfy for them to suck. It has the same nipple shape at the popular soothie brand minus the akward round shield the sooties have. They have a more natural shield shape that doesn't interefere with a babies natural sucking pattern. These pacifiers are perfect for mothers and babies who breast feed because unlike some pacifiers they force the top lip up and out which is how they need to have their lips to latch on and nurse effectivle...
