bookletgeo says "Can't live without it" about Fisher Price Baby Papasan Cradle Swing

bookletgeo — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 01:59:47 GMT

The Fisher Price Baby Papasan chair has been a lifesaver for our family. I bought this a little over a week ago for my then 5 week old and we now take it with us wherever we go. My little guy loves sleeping in it. He likes the vibration. I don't think he cares about the music so much one way or the other. It does turn off after 15 min as a battery-saving device, so I turn on the music feature to let me know when it has turned off. If the vibration goes off while he is sleeping, he fusses. It comes with a blanket that attaches which we have not yet used since it is summer and a little stuffed animal that we don't use since our son is so little, so I can't comment on those features, but the chair itself is a fantastic product!

bookletgeo says "They don't work like they used to..." about Playtex Drop-Ins Original Nurser Baby Bottle

When I was in high school I babysat for some babies that I kept on a regular basis and we used Playtex Drop-Ins back then. The liners were a little hard to use, but they did a great job of shrinking up and keeping the air out. The new liners are easier to use, but they don't work very well at keeping any air out. I tried several different bottles with my little guy to see which ones would keep him from being gassy. These didn't help at all. That, combined with the fact that you have to keep purchasing the liners and the expense of that can get crazy made me decide not to keep using these. We use Playtex VentAire Advanced. My son likes them, they are easy to use and not hard to clean at all.

bookletgeo says "They are probably great but my son hates them" about Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Baby Bottle

My now 6-week old son was switched from breastfeeding to exclusively being fed formula around three weeks of age due to some issues we were having. He was always very gassy, but formula made him even more so. We started putting Mylicon drops in his bottle, but I thought it would be nice not to have to do that, so I bought one of these bottles to try. I gave my son a bottle of formula without the drops to test it out. I had to really coax him to eat the formula out of this bottle. I did notice that he was less gassy, even without the drops. After several times of fighting with him to eat out of this bottle, I've decided it's not worth it. For whatever reason, he won't take to it. I thought it might be that the formula tasted different without the drops, so I even tried adding them back in, but he just hates this bottle. He even cries when I try to use it. We have just gone back to the Playtex VentAire Advanced that he likes & will keep using the Mylicon.

bookletgeo says "Kirkland Signature Diapers are the best for the price" about Kirkland Signature Supreme Diapers

When my daughter was born three and a half years ago, I experimented with diapers and found that I liked Huggies best. I used to always buy them in bulk at Costco. My son was born six weeks ago and I figured I would just do the same with him. Since he was born, we have ended up buying two packages of Pampers with the belly button cut-out and then we used up some packages of diapers that were given to us as gifts. Some of the gifts we were given were "store brand" diapers and I finally gave up on them. I ended up giving them to my daughter to use with her dolls because I got tired of them not fitting right and leaking all over the place. So, the other day I went to Costco to buy a big package of Huggies. Except they didn't have the size 1 that I needed. Since my mom once told me that Costco's policy is that their brand will always be just as good if not better than the name brand that they sell, I decided to take a chance on this "store brand." I am so glad that I did! For just a little...
