hippychic says "very good but not for chunky babies" about Berkley & Jensen Brand Diapers

BJ's diapers are wonderful for the budget conscious (like me)! My 6 month old never had any leaks, blowouts nor tape issues. The only reason I didn't give the product 5 stars is because the diapers seem to be geared more towards less chunky babies. The leg gathering portion is really skinny (though they offer a tight fit). The diaper didn't completely cover my baby's butt cheeks although they fit great around her waist. This can lead to messy diaper creams or powders being rubbed off on the baby's or your clothes. They aren't heavily perfumed which is great for sensitive skin/noses. Best of all they don't have that gel that balloons in them and my baby never smelled of urine. If the leg gathers covered more area, they'd be perfect. I paid $27.99 for 174 (size 3) diapers....

hippychic says "No Drips, No Mess :o)" about Nuby 4-Stage Feeding System

These transitional bottles are great! They don't drip unlike some other more expensive bottles. My little one had no problems adjusting to a new nipple. It was nice not to see formula running down her little neck. Being able to transition to a sippy cup is a great idea. It definitely saves you money in the long run.

$3.99 @ Babies R Us

hippychic says "Parents Choice Organic = Simply the Best Infant Formula Out!!!" about Parent's Choice Organic Baby Formula

I was extremely hesitant to buy infant formula from WalMart since it isn't a place I normally shop. In addition, I had never heard anyone talk about generic infant formulas, only the popular name brands. After doing my research of PBM Nutritionals I was a little more at ease. I was amazed by their private label program and how other companies/stores sell PBM's formula under their own name and at a much higher price.

Breastfeeding was not an option for me. I went through several formulas before I found Parent's Choice. My baby was fussy, constipated and/or gassy on everything else I tried. I tried Mylicon, Little Tummies, expensive name brand infant formulas, soy formula (made her spit up lots), gentle formula... You name it, I probably tried it. This has been a miracle product for half the price. I really wanted to use an organic formula and was extremely disappointed that Similac Organic didn't work for my little one. However, this is even better than Similac Organic! ...
