lilmissmaria37 says "it works" about Munchkin Deluxe Dishwasher Basket

lilmissmaria37 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 10:21:50 GMT

This is a great organizer for baby things. It holds up to 10 nipples and 8 straws for sippy cups. the basket part is big enough to hold all the rings and even baby spoons and forks. it is small enough tha is fits nice and snug on the top rack of the dishwasher and wont move around or flip over during wash. and then after the wash you can just leave them in there. it is durable and of course dishwasher safe. and it only cost $3.99 usd at walmart. comes in blue or pink. there are larger ones also that hold more nipples and such. the only thing i have a small problem with is the straw holders. they are almost 2 big for regular straws and just a bi to small for the sippy cup straws i use. and the basket holes are to big to put the straws in there casue they slip out. there is plenty of room in the basket part to put all just about anything that will fit in it, just be carefull about the straws, they dont work really well with it. but if you need organization i would recomend this.

jrusselljr2007 says "What an awesome invention" about Munchkin Deluxe Wipe Warmer

jrusselljr2007 — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 15:34:01 GMT

I call it the butt wipe warmer. I love this thing it kepps the wipes just warm not to hot. I applaude the inventor for this. I wish I would have used it for my older children. It made the whole process even easier for my little boy and he piddled on me a lot less ha ha. I like it 110% and I always try to get my pregant friends to put it on the registery and if they dont than I get them one and they always thank me. I dont have to many things negative to say I mean if your wipes just dry out add a little bit of water and soon enough they will be wet again. It takes a little bit after refilling to warm up all those wipes but nothing is that fast just leave a couple in there put the new oens under the old ones and by the time the old ones are gone the new oens will be nice and warm. I love this thing I have 3 kids and only my youngest got hte pleasure of warm wipes.

housss says "The baby tone." about Home Grown Kids Baby Gifts, Registry, Maternity wear, etc.

housss — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 02:44:42 GMT

Hello, I am writing to you again about how I am having a baby and for the first time by another man. I love having it and buying clothes for it and the baby tone for the home grown kids baby gifts, registry, maternity wear etc. is a excellent way of expressing our way of loving what is coming along. The baby is getting killed alot and I pray I can keep up with it with God. I am almost due and there is no special circumstances for the child except to love it. Well, I bought some baby clothes and the baby tone is set in this house. I pray that anything sown in dishonor will be raised in honor. I pray that we let the light so shine before men so that thou may see thou good deeds. I am a fun loving parent who enjoys church and watching things grow of the world and the busy mom even had a good son today who took care of her and the baby while the water was off at her house. I believe in honesty and what comes out of the man and woman to uplift thou day. Well, we let the light so shine...

momonabudget says "You don't need a wipe warmer" about Munchkin Deluxe Wipe Warmer

momonabudget — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:06:19 GMT

My husband and I took a birthing class and the first thing our teacher had us do is say what we registered for. Everyone registered for a wipe warmer and she told us that this was the biggest waste of money. They dry out too easily which wastes at least 1/2 a pack of wipes and that babies really don't mind if the wipes are cold. If anything, it's better to use warm wash cloths. Now that I have mentioned what the experts have suggested, i will give my personal opinion from my own experience since others feel that is what my review should really be about. I not only have my own child, but have worked at a daycare facility and babysat many others who have had wipe warmers of their own. They in my experience and in my friends experience have always dried out at least half of the wipes that you put in there and they and I followed the directions to the letter. I'm sorry if I sound upset, but I didn't enjoy the comment below and felt the need to add my own opinion.

momonabudget says "The munchkin snack bowls are great for larger snacks." about Munchkin Snack Catcher Bowls

momonabudget — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 16:53:34 GMT

The Munchkin snack catcher bowls are great for traveling in the car, stroller, or in the shopping cart but only if the snacks are a good size. Smaller snacks such as cheerios, goldfish crackers, or corn puffs have a tendency to come out. I will say that my daughter loves to hang on to one of the handles and shake it like a rattle though. I usually put cookies or yogurt bites in our cup just to avoid the mess. My daughter did have a hard time with it at first, but once she figured out how to hold onto the snacks while she was pulling her hand out she greatly enjoyed using it. She thinks it's a fun game now. I enjoy the fact that it only allows her to pull out a few at a time. She usually likes to try and grab as many as she can, but the lid wipes off any that stick to her hand preventing an even bigger mess than the one she usually makes. I would recommend this for parents who have a toddler.

momonabudget says "They are great bowls, but they don't stay put." about Munchkin Stay Put Suction Bowls

momonabudget — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 16:46:45 GMT

I purchased the munchkin stay put bowls when my daughter started learning how to feed herself. I thought they would be great to take to restaurants and they were the perfect travel size for her diaper bag. The first time I tried one was at a restaurant with the smooth top tables. I naturally assumed they would stick since the tables were made this way. I was mistaken. It stuck for all of two minutes until my daughter grabbed the handles and pulled it right off the table. I tried wiping off the table and bottom of the bowl with a wipe and it still didn't work. I then tried to use them on other surfaces like her high chair tray. I cleaned the tray and bottom of the bowl (this time using a different sized bowl) and suctioned it onto the tray. I did this while my daughter was napping just to see how much effort it really took to remove it. After a couple of minutes of not even touching it, it lost it's suction. It's a great concept, but not worth it.

babyt96792 says "This little spoon is sure to make you job easier!" about Gerber Infant Spoons

babyt96792 — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 21:15:28 GMT

As a mother of two growing toddlers, i have had the opportunity to use the gerber infant spoons. Those little spoons are so convenient when you dealing with an infant because the spoons are so tiny and it makes my job so much easier. Its a great fit for an infants mouth and expecially when working with baby food, because you can adjust the amount of baby food on the spoons along with how much to input into your baby's mouth. The gerber infant spoons also come with a silicone tip which makes it even more convenient for an infant because it won't scratch their gums. The silicone tips makes for a comfortable feeding when dealing with infants. Speaking as a parent who has used this product with two children and also nieces and nephews, i would recommend this product to anyone with infants and is in need of a little help with feeding. The gerber infant spoons are the essential tool to have for feeding time with infants!

hotlips2330 says "Gerber Infant Spoons are the best spoons out on the market!" about Gerber Infant Spoons

hotlips2330 — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 21:59:04 GMT

Being on my forth child i want you to know that Gerber Infant spoons are fhe best peices of cultry i used with all my children. Once my children were able to eat cereal, baby foods,ect i went out and started buying different brand and kinds of spoons. I bought a package of gerber infant spoons on a trip to the store one day, mainly because they caught my eye. The information on the package had me wanting the give it a try.

The package i bought was a package of six spoons all in light pastel colors such as, pink,blue,green,yellow,purple, and white. Unfortunately since the colors are all light pastels they tend to hang on to the food stains.

These spoons make me feel safe when feeding my children. They have soft silicone tips which are gentle on the mouth and gums of your child. You dont have to worry about scrapping their gums causing them to bleed as you would have to worry about it with a metal spoon. Also the silicone tips change color if the babies food is too hot which allows you...

sidnik says "The Graco exercise sourcer is great for a baby finding his feet!" about Graco Exercise sourcer

sidnik — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 21:16:12 GMT

The Graco exercise sourcer is a great item if your child still needs to stand or walk or is getting delayed in these milestones.

This device helps the baby balance himself and to get his feet sensation activated .The baby will get to understand balance and stepping movements will help him walk.

Its amazing to watch my child standing in the seat of the exersourcer and rock himself back and forth and also knowing he is completely safe.

Graco exercise source has many toys at its rim which allows my child to play and learn.

Overall, a great experience.Try it! You'll be amazed.

maenad25 says "A terrific multi-purpose moses basket" about Lalapanzi Lalapanzi Bed

maenad25 — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 21:00:13 GMT

I was looking for a durable moses basket that would be easy to carry around the house and transport to Grandma's house. I heard about this particular brand when Halle Berry bought one for her baby girl. It is expensive but it has been worth EVERY penny! I bought the largest size which I would recommend doing. The basket is soft and squishy. You can pull the cover off to wash it. My baby had plenty of room to roll around and the basket is easy to move around the house as it is so light. As my baby got older, it was a safe place for him to practice sitting up because if he fell over, he would simply hit the soft padded side. After that, it became a contained play area. Now, my baby is one and he still loves sitting in it and leaning against the sides. If your baby is smaller, they could probably easily use this as place to sleep at age one. You can also buy an optional carrying case to squish it into. Lots of people say it looks like a dog bed and we just laugh. It is really great!!!...

jenainwonderland says "Great for older toddlers, not so great for older babies" about Munchkin Snack Catcher Bowls

jenainwonderland — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 19:56:38 GMT

I bought this product after reading a lot of reviews. My son was 11 months. When I got home I was excited about it, but after my first time using it, I was disapointed. My son was only interested in making a mess! He would take the lid off and spill the snacks everywhere!

Now that my son is 21 months we are using this product again. It is great for cereal on the go. He doesn't take the lid off anymore but when he gets the cereal out a lot more than what he wants comes out with it and it makes a mess.

Even through it's flaws I still like this product and recommend it for on the go, but I think there could be room for improvement.

If you are a mom who can't stand a mess this is a product you should just let pass by. When I take my son out of his carseat there is cereal everywhere. Or when he has it in the living room there is cereal all over the place.

lilmsmysteria says "A Small Crib Light often referred to as a Small Miracle" about Munchkin Voice Activated Crib Light

lilmsmysteria — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 12:39:13 GMT

Munchkin Voice Activated Crib Light

This is a voice-activated (or manually-controlled) crib light that helps soothe your baby to sleep with womb sounds and colored lights.

The lights are just the right brightness for nighttime checking or diaper changing although some colors are easy to see Baby than others, you still can get the task at hand done.

When Baby fusses, well actually Cries, the lights and sound come on to soothe Baby until you can get there and see what Baby's needs are.

I find this to be more of a soother till Mom can get there, rather than a soother to help Baby go back to sleep, I imagine it could be kept on to help baby go back to sleep but that's when I turn to a Soothing Teddy Bear rather than having the light on.

The only fault I find is that Baby has to go into a full cry before it is activated rather than just getting fussy as described, which is fine, because than Mom knows she is really needed!

It is a simple product, with switches that you can easily find even...

lilmsmysteria says "Soothe baby with Familar Sounds,Sleep well deserved" about GUND designed teddy bear exclusively for Summer Infant Summer Infant Mommies Melodies Bear

lilmsmysteria — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 11:20:22 GMT

This is one of my favorite Infant soothing Teddy Bears that gorws with Baby. It has 3 modes for when baby outgrows needing the soothing familar sound of te woms making for a peaceful sleep for Baby,Mommy,& Daddy. The 3 modes are mommy's womb sounds, 3 lullabies and 2 nature sounds.

Teddy has a Hook and loop fastening strap that attaches bear securely to crib to soothe baby to sleep
It features Auto shut-off feature after 15 - 20 minutes which is more than enough to soothe Baby, anymore and Baby's needs are probably greater.

This bear also comes in 3 colors, the traditional tan, pink, and blue.

We went with Pink for Baby Girl, not only because we also bought another soothing Bear but because we thought the Brighter color would also catch Baby Girls attention.

The Bear is approximately 8.5 x 4 x 14.5 inches and takes 3 AAa's which are included.

This Bear runs from $15.99 - $39.99 depending where you buy it. I shopped through Amazon and found the Pink on clearance at Target for $15.99 but...

gnerai says "Simply the best spoon for first solid foods" about Gerber Infant Spoons

gnerai — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 08:47:42 GMT

Gerber Infant spoons are, as it says in my sound bite, simply the best first spoon for the first solid foods a baby will eat. These spoons have a log handle which makes it easy for mom, dad, grandma, big brother, etc. to use. It also has a soft, small spoon end which is gentle on gums and developing teeth. One of my favorite features about these spoons is that they change colors when the food is too hot so I know that my baby is safe.

Do not be fooled by generic brands that eventually crack or do not tell you when a food is too hot for baby. Gerber is the brand that lasted through those first nibbles when the food was almost purely liquid to the biting due to those first teeth coming in to the point where my baby is now grabbing the spoon out of my hand and placing it in the dish she is eating from. Gerber also makes it easy to transition from infant to toddler with appropriately sized toddler spoons that still have a soft spoon end which continues to be gentle and tough throughout teething....

MRSverret says "I don't leave home without it!" about Infantino Shop & Play Funny Farmer

MRSverret — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 07:42:35 GMT

I used a product similar to this with my oldest son. So, when my youngest starting riding in the front of the shopping cart, I knew I wanted a shop and play.

I found the Infantino Shop and Play Funny Farmer at Wal-Mart for a little over $20. You lay it on top of the shopping cart and just form it to the seat, that easy. It's provides cushion, a barrier between your baby and shoppig carts full of germs, and it entertains your little one while you shop. It's just a small amount of money for your peace of mind for a while.

The shop and play can be used as soon as that baby carrier is too heavy to haul into the store! Of course your baby has to be able to support theirselves alone.My son is 17 months and I'm still using the Infantino Shop and Play.

It's too cute.There is a back cushion which is a green pea pod. There are a few toys on the front which is easily accessible to your little one. There is an apple that rattles. There is a small cloth book with a reflective page (so baby...

amylee13 says "Safety 1st deluxe care fold up booster is a good value" about Safety 1st Deluxe Care Fold Up Booster

amylee13 — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 21:19:31 GMT

I recieved the Safety 1st Deluxe Care Foldup Booster for a gift for my daughter. It is a good value for the price. The straps that connect it to the back and seat of the chair stay very tight, unlike many other seats The seat is adjustable for 2 different levels which is a very nice feature. I don't eer use the tray that came with it, we just push it up to the table. It folds up rather nicely to take with you if you need. I do wish that the straps that you put around the child were a little longer. I have fairly small children and the straps are tight on them, so I can't imagine they would fit around an average size child. Also there are rubbery bottoms in an attempt to keep wood chairs from getting scratched. They do not work, so I always put something between the chair and the booster seat. Overall a nice seat.

Decalifornie says "Best option for mom and baby" about Breastfeeding Opinion

Decalifornie — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 22:01:11 GMT

Well before I address my biggest issue with breastfeeding, I will say that The experts are right it is the best thing you could give not only to the baby but to yourself. I exclusively breastfed the first five months and mixted it with formula until ten months and thes stated the weaning process which lasted like a month or so. One feeding less every week. Which went pretty much unnoticed to the end. So the first weeks are just hard, I won't say a nightmare because it would be harsh but believe me for me it was very hard... sore nipples and when baby doesn't latch on well oh boy! But My husband was a good helper and my cheerleader and sometimes I just wanted to smack him with his words but we got trough it lol. Early weeks are also hard because you have to deal those mixed feelings (for those who had them) I mean when you feel like a big cow milking and nothing else and just want to give up... (That the hormanes raging) You also get through it with time and patience and a good support...

monalisab says "Cant live without them." about Munchkin Snack Catcher Bowls

monalisab — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 15:25:58 GMT

I did a bunch of research on different types of snack catchers and the Munchkin won my vote. I have bought 2 sets now and even gave my sister one for her kid. They really hold the food in. Some of the smaller cereals will escape, and some kids will pull the top off or fold the rubber prongs on top in so they can dump the food out. (My son had not taken the top off and I have only had to pick up stuff he dumped out maybe 2 times). It is easy for the kids to get the food out that they want without making a big mess. When my niece or nephews took the top off we told them not to and they have not done it again (thank goodness they listen) :) I like that they have handles and seems to hold more than others I have seen. I would like to have the solid tops so you could store when your kid is Not using it so that the food would stay fresh longer. Over all I would definatly buy more of these and have already told and let other parents use the ones I have. They like them also. They seem to be less...

MRSverret says "A great solution to food all over the floor!" about Munchkin Snack Catcher Bowls

MRSverret — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 06:36:57 GMT

My 16 month old son is a messy eater. He likes to snack while watching TV sometimes and in the car too. I've always had a problem with him making a mess! He likes to dump out whatever he has. He thinks it's fun but I get tired of constantly cleaning up the messes that he makes. While at Wal-Mart I noticed the Munchkin Snack Catcher Bowls.

I bought them for around $6 for a pack of 2. The colors vary but the ones I purchased were purple and green and orange and blue.

The containers are BPA free and have two rubber handles which is great for little ones to hold on to. The top easily snaps on which is a soft plastic material. There is a spiral shape cut out on top for access inside and prevents things from falling out. The bottom is a rubber material to help prevent scratches on tables and slipping. The bottom also provides a place to put your child's name.

The container holds quite a bit, a little less than a cup. I used them for crackers, cheerios, and other small snacks. They are...
