jerseytune says "Not for us." about Avent Baby Bottles

jerseytune — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 00:43:19 GMT

I purchsed one of these for my daughter when I was trying to find the best bottle for her. This was not it. It had a strange square-ish nipple that she just did not like. She was holding her bottle yet then, but it would have made it more difficult for her if she tried. She would refuse to eat if I used this bottle if no others were clean. I do not suggest wasting your $$$ on these at all.

Oh and they did not fir it my diaper bad well wither, the pocket was too small.

jerseytune says "Stands up to tough dogs!" about Kong Rubber Ball

I will never again purchase another brand of ball for my dog. My puggle destroys every toy we have ever gotten him within minutes. This ball can take a beating. We have not had to replace it yet (except for when my brother hit it about a mile into the woods with a baseball bat.) This is totally worth every penny as they are a bit expensive. They are also my dogs favorite ball. You can give him a choice of a dozen or so and he always goes for the Kong. They are the best balls out there and I have not one bad thing to say about them. They keep both me and my dog happy....

jerseytune says "Not soft enough!!" about Gerber Variety Onesies

jerseytune — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 22:55:55 GMT

There are a ton of onesie makers out there and none of them are really too expensive. Stating that, I would suggest buying a different brand. These are scratchy and not as soft as others. They also run a little small in my opinion. My favorites for the price are Carter's Just One Year. They are super soft, fit well, and stretch nice while trying to dress baby without losing their shape and fit....

jerseytune says "Great deal, great product!" about Bright Stars Bounce Baby Activity Center

jerseytune — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 22:33:09 GMT

I love this bouncer and my daughter does too. At 4 months, she met the weight requirements and such, but was just a bit too small for it. Now she fits in great and she loves it. It provides wnough support for her to sit straight like she is standing. She hates to be down so this is awesome. The only problem I have with it is the fact that the toy bar faces inward. She usually bangs her head on the mirror attachment, so I got rid of that piece. Otherwise, this one is alot sheaper than others and I think it works just fine. ...

jerseytune says "Daughter HATES this!!" about HotSlings Stretch Baby Sling/Wrap

jerseytune — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 22:27:33 GMT

While I cannot use this product since my daughter absolutely hated it, I can say that it is well made and stylish. I ordered one size which was too small so I ordered the next size up thinking that would solve the problem. My daughter hated the next size as well. Her head was sunk in there and I was afraid that she would suffocate let alone the fact that she just did not look comfy. I think it was too smothering. They say babies are supposed to feel comforted by being so close to the body, but not mine! In my opinion, just carry your baby. They end up being out in front of you that you can't really use both hands together anyway. I couldn't reach around comfortably to even wash dishes. Hope ths helps....

jerseytune says "Only ones my little one doesn't leak thru at night" about Pampers Swaddlers Diapers

jerseytune — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 22:37:21 GMT

Pampers swaddlers are the absolute best diapers they make. I have tried them all in search of a cheaper diaper, but they just don't cut it. Swaddlers fit my daughters chunky little thighs and they are the only ones that don't leak throighout the night. Now that she sleeps all night long, I found that the Luvs I was using, just couldn't keep her dry. These are more expensive than the rest, but they work well. They are also softer and don't feel like paper like the Luvs do....

jerseytune says "After the breast, def the best" about Similac Advance Baby Formula

jerseytune — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 22:31:54 GMT

After a few different formulas, we have fianlly settled on this one. My daughter loves it. She does not get the gas or the constipation that she got from Enfamil or Good Start. No formula is cheap and if I have to pay, I would pick this one. Plus, you can sign up on their website and get coupons in the mail....

jerseytune says "Great for all babies!" about Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Baby Bottle

jerseytune — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 21:44:21 GMT

Yes, these bottles are more expensive than the rest, but they are well worth it. This greatly reduced my daughter's spit up and gas. The extra pieces are tough to clean, but that is what makes them work. I would highly suggest these for all babies, not just the ones with problems with gas or spit up....

jerseytune says "Great stroller, heavy carrier." about Chicco Cortina Travel System

jerseytune — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 18:39:22 GMT

This is a great looking and durable system. My only con is the fact that the carrier is soooo heavy. Once your baby reaches 2 months or so, you really start to feel the extra weight. It does not fit in a shopping cart, which makes shopping with baby in the 1st few months almost impossible. I do love the stroller. It is not too heavy, looks great, is easy to use, and folds nicely. It has great wheels and is very durable....
