catclan says "nice smell and lots of uses" about Huggies Gentle Care Sensitive Baby Wipes

catclan — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:15:06 GMT

I have used Huggies wipes for years now and really truley love them way more than others. They are thicker and a pretty good price, but look for coupons. You can get a pretty good price and they give lots of coupons. You can find Huggies wiptes pretty much anywhere and I use them for everything. I love the box design and is easy to use. They smell good with a light scent. Huggies are a very high quality product and well know name brand. They are great for sensitive skin also. My daughter has eczema and these didn't seem to bother her skin as much as others. They are just about the right amount of wetness, but keep the lid tight or they will dry out. We use them for hands, face, bottom, spills, etc. They are great for all uses. I highly recommend the Huggies baby wipes for anyone who wants to clean up messes. I sometimes even use hand sanitizer for our hands and then use the wipes to clean off the sanitizer. Makes your hands fell extra clean when out and about...

emilyintx says "Nicely fitted and easy to use!" about Huggies Pull Ups with Learning Designs Training Pants

emilyintx — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:01:57 GMT

My daughter is potty training, and I use both diapers and Pull ups with her, depending on what's on sale. I recently tried the Pampers Easy-Ups, and there is no comparison! I love the Huggies Pull Ups! One thing that I really like is that the tear away sides have velcro so that can be reattached. After my daughter messes in them, I can open the sides, take it off, neatly roll it up, and seal it closed using the velcro. I find them to be as absorbant as other diapers.

I like the soft pink color and my daughter loves the princess designs. They are very cute on her.

The Huggies Pull Ups are more expensive than an equivalent number of diapers. I think they are worth it for the ease of use and good quality. My daughter loves it that she can pull them up and down by herself. I would highly recommend spending a little extra and buying the Huggies Pull Ups. You won't be disappointed!

princess85 says "Definately sensitive enough for my kiddos" about Pampers Sensitive Wipes

princess85 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:56:42 GMT

Both of my girls had sensitive skin as babies... and still do for that matter. Anytime I used any other wipes they would break out... dry up. And cause horrible diaper rash. It was hard on a mom to see a child have rash all the time when using wipies are neccessary. I tried the damp cloth and wash rags, but they just didn't seem as sanitary to me... no matter how many times I washed them. Pampers Sensitive wipes were recommended to me by a family member. She also took care of a child with sensitive skin. First try with my first child, and I was hooked. They not only wiped hineys without all the hurt and stress on sensitive skin. They also came handy for boogey wipes. Didn't dry out the skin anywhere. ALSO, they came in handy for quick clean-ups of spit-up or just plain messy faces as they grew. And surprisingly we found out they are ALSO awesome eye make-up removers! I will definately use these on my soon to be child in May!

dandscross says "Better than Pampers" about Huggies Pull Ups with Learning Designs Training Pants

dandscross — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:52:49 GMT

We started training our 2 yeard old and used the "underware" method. We went out and bought some super hero underware which worked great at home but if we were going to be away from hom we had to find a better solution. Huggies Pull ups are great the side elastic is great you can detach it for the messest of messes. Our son loves the car design they have now and we make it into a game with the learnign designs. We tell him if he can keep the Cars there he will get a prize. He does pretty good but of course still has his accidents. The only down side to the pull-ups is that when he does have an accident the "pee" smell permeates everything. His pants, him everything. Make sure you bring a change of clothes because your toddler will be walking around smelling like pee even after you change to fresh pull-up...

dreamangelx says "Great for babies with gas" about Mylicon Infants' Gas Relief Drops - Dye Free

dreamangelx — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:34:58 GMT

My son had lots of gas when he was an infant and nothing relived him. We tried regulr formula, soy based formula and finally were successful with the pre digested formula (Similac Alimntum Advance). A GI specialist also prescribed my son Zantac. While I was not comfr=ortable giving my son Zantac, my pediatrician did recomment mylicon very highly, I tried it and it was great. We used to joke around and call it his appetizer (because the doctor strongly recommended that we give it to him before his formula). There are definitely some cons about Infan't Mylicon. If you have a very gassy baby, most likely you'll be giving this to your baby close to as often if not as often as the package's recommended maximum. I didn't like to give it to my son a lot but when he needed it, I did. This product saved my son (and us!) from some sleepless nights and contributed to him being a very happy baby rather than a very fussy baby in pain.

TanaEdge says "Worth every penny!" about Kalencom Potette Plus 2-in-1

TanaEdge — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:20:56 GMT

This potty seat has been a lifesaver.

- It's so easy to transport, though we usually keep it in our van.

- It's easy to clean, so your child always has a sanitary place to potty when you aren't at home.

- The absorbent pad in the bottom of the liner bag does a wonderful job of absorbing the urine.

- It works really well as a potty seat on household toilets. It's not the best on public toilets because it doesn't fit well on their oblong shape. It slides a little bit as a result, which freaks my son out when he sits on it.

The primary downside is that the replacement bags are expensive. It works just fine with regular plastic shopping bags -- just make sure there are no holes! However, when you use regular bags, keep in mind that you'll end up with a bag of liquid pee.

I would really like to see the replacement liner bags sold in larger quantities. They come in a 10-pack, so we end up buying replacements quite frequently.

lilpinkpiggies says "I great potty training tool!" about Huggies Pull Ups with Learning Designs Training Pants

lilpinkpiggies — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:01:33 GMT

OK...well I am going through a rough potty training stage right now! My 2 1/2 year old daughter is sooo darn stubborn that I feel like pulling out my hair! I swore I would never use pull ups but here I am using pull ups for abour 6 mos now!

My oldest daughter was trained within 2 days...I thought this wouldbe the same!!! Boy was I wrong!

Pull ups do have some great incentives!!! My daughter LOVES that there are princesses on her pull ups! She likes to chose which ones she will put on! She also likes that she can put them on herself....as a 2 year old loves to do! I happen to love that the sides are velcro like and I can peel them off of her as needed...even if she is running away from me! And that makes for easy one as well! I don't have to take off her pants of I don't want to! I can just pop themon with teh velcro!! Phew!

I also love that they have the thicker night time ones so I don't have to worry about using diapers at night!!! She loves them & that is helping us big time!

corinneagain says "Seventh Generation Baby Wipes: natural, safe, environmental" about Seventh Generation Seventh Generation Baby Wipes

corinneagain — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:04:03 GMT

I have used Seventh Generation baby wipes for all sorts of things, not just wiping babies :) I like to keep them on hand in the car for quick clean ups/freshening up hands or face and sanitizing grocery baskets or cart handles.

I think that we shouldn't use strange chemicals on our skin, let alone on a newborn baby's skin. I have done a lot of diaper changing in my life and I've never had any issues with teh wipes irritating any baby's skin. I often prefer to make my own wipes with organic/hypoallergenic baby soap and water, but the Seventh Generation wipes are really handy if I haven't had a chance to make my own wipes and they come in convenient carrying pouches. I am slightly confused by the fact that the same amount of wipes in a hard case are exactly the same price as those in a soft case, you would think that the hard case would be more expensive to produce and less environmentally friendly, so you would pay less to buy the soft case wipes. Who knows what goes through...

thentherewere3 says "Perfect wipe at a great price!" about Huggies Natural Care Baby Wipes

thentherewere3 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 03:26:56 GMT

Huggies Natural Care Baby wipes are the best wipes out there in my opinion. They are priced at a reasonable and affordable price and you can find them in any store. You also get more wipes in the refill packs and boxes in the Huggies Natural Care Wipes than any other Huggies wipes. They are the perfect thickness for my daughter compared to other brands I have tried. They stay moist and don't dry out quickly. These wipes are the best for and kind of mess. Not just diapers messes but others as well. For example, food messes, beverage messes and cleaning faces and hands. You definitely get you money's worth and it is the one wipe that I stick to. It has proven to hold up better than any other wipes and Huggies is a trustworthy brand. (the only brand I use for my baby) What else could you ask for in a wipe? You get more for you money, its reliable, and its hypo allergenic. It also has hardly any odor as well. Great product!

tsnellings says "Love Lansinoh clean and condition cloths" about Lansinoh Clean & Condition Cloths

tsnellings — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:51:53 GMT

I love the Lansinoh clean and condition cloths and I tell every new mom I meet about them. I really loved these when my daughter was a baby because she had very sensitive skin and couldn't use some of the other wipes on the market without getting diper rash. She never got diaper rash when I was using these wipes. They are a little more expensive then other wipes on the market, but they are worth it. They are not cold and wet like others and the material is soft like a cloth verses a wipe. Also, I felt like they picked up more than other wipes. They also feel great on your hands and don't leave them wet, but soft and smooth because of the lanoline in them. On a side note, they clean leather shoes ups very nicely as well. We love these and we also use them for our 11 month old son. Once you try them you won't want to go back to the other brands, but do try to stock up when you find a great price.

jjfulle says "Nothing works like motrin" about Motrin Infants' Drops

jjfulle — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:07:01 GMT

Whether it is for your child, baby, teen, or yourself, nothing soothes pain and a fever like motrin. We've tried it all - the suspension liquid, regular liquid, tablets!

Motrin works quickly, lasts a long time, and has a great taste. It is much better than most of the other products out there, and the generic store brands are just as good! I've bought it to calm a night time fever at 1am, and I can find it at any grocery store, superstore, or pharmacy.

Motrin comes in berry or bubblegum flavor. One thing I'd really like to find is a clear liquid motrin. This way when my child spills the liquid or can't get it all in her mouth, it won't stain her clothing.

The price for motrin is quite reasonable, and since it lasts 6-8 hours, a small amount goes a long way. Most stores will have a better deal if you buy the bigger bottles, and sometimes you can find buy one get one free, or a double box. Smart choice - you never know when a fever will surprise you.

mrsbnavy0401 says "Reccommended by our Doctor!" about Boudreaux's Butt Paste Diaper Rash Cream

mrsbnavy0401 — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:29:51 GMT

My daughter was prone to diaper rashes when she was smaller. After trying just about every brand of diaper rash creme, I finally gave up and decided to get a professional opinion. Her pediatrician told me to stop wasting my money on any brand other than this one! I thought the name was hilarious, but after the first use, I was hooked. I will admit, the color threw me after being used to so many "white" pastes and cremes, but now that is a welcome sight for relief for her. Currently in my house I have five tubes just around anywhere for easy access. My doctors opinion means a lot to me, and now I see why he recommends the Butt Paste. Every single friend that has had a shower has gotten a tube from me in their gift. I believe in it that much!! I always remember to thank our doctor for such a welcome product! You will not be disappointed!...

polkadotstripes says "Thick quality wipes" about Huggies Supreme Wipes

polkadotstripes — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:05:39 GMT

Huggies Supreme Wipes are by far my favorite wipes, and I've tried almost all the different brands out there. I love the thick, clothlike feel of Huggies Supreme Wipes. They adhere to the baby's skin well to remove all residue, but does so gently enough where skin is not chafed or irritated by it. I do not like the "slick, slippery" feel of other diaper wipes which do not adhere to the skin as well, in my opinion. My child has sensitive skin, but has not had a bad rash or reaction to Huggies Supreme Wipes, as opposed to some other brands. I also end up using less of the Huggies Supreme wipes since they are thicker, rather than others which might be thinner.

The fragrance is light and pleasant and did not offend my child's skin. I do not like products that have heavy fragrances, because they tend to irritate, but this product did not do that. I like to carry these wipes around in portable wipe cases to wipe little hands and mouths as well. I sometime use these wipes to wipe...

hannahseth says "Why did I not know about this with the first three kids???" about Munchkin Fresh Food Feeder

hannahseth — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:59:29 GMT

This has made my life a lot easier. I make my own baby food and so my baby is sort of a purist! He LOVES this feeder. I freeze my baby food in ice cube trays, and the cube fits perfectly into this feeder. The frozen foods are soothing on his teething gums. I also put fresh fruit into the feeder. He can sit in his chair and eat on his own while I feed the rest of the family dinner. He is part of the party without my having to stop and feed him. Of course, I also feed him in other ways. ;) I would recommend this for any busy moms!

FreakFromHell4 says "Parent's Choice beat huggies in quality- minus the 'pop up' type" about Walmart's Parents Choice Baby Wipes

FreakFromHell4 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:31:27 GMT

My son has VERY sensitive skin. i mean, let his foot touch your floor with bare feet and his bosy will rash if you use anything on your carpet. ANY WHOO I have bought HUGGIES all along and i used those wipes for cleaning his face after he eats, to cleaning his high chair and of course on his rear end. I recently went though a rough patch and tried the Parent's Choice Baby wipes and they were JUST AS GOOD as the huggies (minus they were not the 'pop up' type). He did not rash and they did not break apart like the huggies did at times. I swear by them. i wish i would have tried them sooner. i would have saved a TON of money. I RECCOMMEND...

arikas5744 says "Target Brand "wipes" all the other brands out!" about Target Brand Baby Wipes

arikas5744 — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 05:09:40 GMT

These are truly the best for your buck! Cheap but so durable, the Target Brand wipes are like Pampers brand...but better, because they save you money! I have used all kinds of wipes for my two boys (both under age two) and none have been satisfactory until now.

Walmart brand wipes - cheap in cost, rip apart very easily

Huggies wipes- thinker, but still fall apart at the crucial BM time!

Pampers- durable and well made, more costly than the others

Target Brand wipes- cheap and durable, the perfect match!

So if you are a busy mom on a tight budget, Target is definitly the brand for you! They are easy on the wallet and do their job well!

bennybear says "Pinxav heals the rash and dries the tears." about Pinxav (pronounced Pink Salve) Diaper Rash Cream

bennybear — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 02:16:48 GMT

I am a lucky mom of a "I'm just happy to be here" baby boy. He doesn't complain about much. But he started struggling with diaper rash when teething began, and I was baffled as to how to help him. It was painful for both of us to change his diaper. We tried your typical diaper rash prevention creams, to no avail. They seemed to prevent it from getting worse, but never healed the rash completely. Then we discovered Pinxav. The rash was better within 24 hours and pretty much gone by 48.

You most likely will have to ask a pharmacist for Pinxav. My pharmacist had to order it for me but it was there the next day. It comes in an easy-to-carry tube or a big tub. I just purchased a tub for around $16 and the tube should run between $6-$8.

Pinxav does have a mediciney smell to it as its purpose is to treat. Part of the draw to other treatments is that they have no scent, but they also don't treat like Pinxav.

I highly recommend Pinxav as a treatment for diaper rash. We've...

lilsquibb says "Cool Weather and Children = needing EZY Dose" about EZY Dose Medicine Dropper and Spoon

lilsquibb — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 03:04:58 GMT

Luckily my boys are both pretty healthy and we haven't had to dispense much medicine around here this cold and flu fall. I'm not a big fan on of using medications unless necessary. When fever strikes in the middle of the night though, we've come to rely on our EZY Dose Medicine Spoon and Dropper (depending on the kid).

The EZY Dose Medicine Spoon and Dropper are sold as a set but we have been fortunate to receive both from the Rite Aid Pharmacy. We have several versions of medicine droppers and spoons around the house and many medicines come with measuring cups, but it always seems I go back to EZY Dose as a preferred measure.

Measure Me Out

The set contains an infant medicine dropper and a medicine spoon for older children both made of sturdy plastic. The dropper is a 1 tsp pipette with a rubber bulb at the top. This also features "arms" at the top to help ensure that it will not fall into the bottle of medicine. The 2 tsp medicine spoon has a nice little "foot" on which...

JenniferWhite says "Soft and Versital" " about Huggies Gentle Care Sensitive Baby Wipes

JenniferWhite — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 03:40:28 GMT

Having children at home means having wipes on hand. After trying several brands, name and store bought Huggies are my top choice! My 9 month old daughter responds better to the sensitive wipes and the are not bad for use on toddlers as well. Children tend to have different reactions to food or cleaning products, so why take the chance with their wipes! The huggies are soft, thick and cheap! Even if you think they are to expensive, Huggies are not stingy with their coupons. You can usually find them online, in the paper or even the mail. Babys love the feel, and they clean up with one or two, unlike other brands. They can also be great for potty trainers, or even around the house cleanup! I have been faithful to this brand for years, and will continue to be. The price has never really changed over the years, they are on sale often as well. Even better the product tends to be durable and consitant!

annawiggins6 says "I love the soft foam! and how easy it is to use!" about Go Bed Bug Bed Bug Bumper

annawiggins6 — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 18:25:27 GMT

GoBedBug.com excellent bed rails so easy to use, comfortable, & really work!

The foam that these rails are made out of is so soft, but once you have the bumper in place it doesn't slide on the mattress. It keeps your child from falling out of the bed, but is more comfortable then an actual rail or something inflatable. You don't have to worry about holes either like an inflatable rail, & there is no risk of baby getting caught between the mattress & the rail! Another great feature is that these can be arranged almost anyway you need!

The Bed Bug Bumper is a firm foam wedge designed to go under the fitted sheet as a safer and easier alternative to children's traditional bed rails. Most conventional bed rails have a space between the bed rail and the bed where a dangerous entrapment may occur. This is one of several reasons why the Bed Bug Bumper is better.

A great list of pros

safe

stable

soft

easy

portable

kid friendly

no assembly needed

parent friendly

flame resistant

can fit...
