moolissa0204 says "Nothing else compares" about Aquaphor Healing Ointment

Aquaphor is one of those products that you try and then wish you had tried it sooner. I first heard about it from my local multiples group for use on babies faces when they are drooling in order to prevent chin rash. The consistency is like petroleum jelly so it only takes a dab and works like a charm. I then saw on the package that it could be used for diaper rash and tried it for that. Wow! Talk about an overnight wonder. The redness was gone and the skin looked amazing. My trio recently had a stomach flu with diarrhea and it was Aquaphor to the rescue. One of the boys has really sensitive skin and he immediately developed two open sores due to the acidity of the diarrhea. I made sure to clean him well, let him dry completely and apply Aquaphor generously. It soothed the rash and acted as a barrier against future dirty diapers. He was looking and feeling great in no time. Another great feature is that you don't have a smelly white residue everywhere.

moolissa0204 says "Worth every penny" about Pampers Cruisers Diapers

I can't say enough good things about Pampers. As a mom of six month old triplets you'd better believe that I change my share of diapers and that their reliability is key. With Pampers I don't have to worry about leaks or bunching. They fit beautifully, don't irritate my boys' skin and are unbelievably absorbent. They have a clothlike texture unlike other brands, which tend to feel like paper (Huggies, for example). At first I thought that I should use less expensive diapers but found that I used far more that way. With these I am able to avoid excessively frequent diaper changes, clothing changes and diaper rash. A recent bout of diarrhea really put them to the test and they passed with flying colors. They really pull the liquid away from the skin. The old adage "you get what you pay for" certainly applies in this case. In my opinion they are the best diapers on the market and worth every penny.

moolissa0204 says "Just as good if not better than Enfamil Gentlease" about Members Mark Gentle Infant formula

Members Mark Gental Infant Formula has been a lifesaver for us. With triplets the cost of formula was overwhelming but I wanted to be sure that they were get the best nutrition possible. I did some research and found that in the U.S. the nutritional requirements for infant formula are regulated by the government; therefore, you can be sure that your baby is getting a nutritious formula no matter which brand you choose. I also learned that Members Mark formula is manufactured by the only ISO 9000 certified infant formula producing factory in the U.S. This means they meet more stringent quality management standards than is required.

This formula is the equivalent to Enfamil Gentlease and is much less expensive. I actually think that it mixes better and foams less than Enfamil and would prefer it even if it did not cost less. My boys have no digestive problems with this formula. They suffered from excessive gassiness with regular formula but this has solved that problem. I...

moolissa0204 says "Keeps my babies busy" about Baby Einstein Discovering Water Play Gym

The Baby Einstein Discovering Water Play Gym is a great for keeping your baby entertained and exploring. I have triplet boys and they all really like this activity mat. The music is not too annoying and they like to watch the lights flash with the music. Their favorite toy is the octopus hanging in the middle. It helps them to reach and grasp and they love to put the orange fish in their mouth. It has helped them through teething. We also have the previous mat with the caterpillar and I like that they have improved upon the design by including removeable plastic bars that insert in the bottom to keep the mat taut and from folding in half. It is machine washable and can be dried on the air dry cycle, just be sure not to use any heat or you will cause holes to burn in the bottom material. I learned that the hard way... :)

moolissa0204 says "Dessert beer, anyone?" about Mackeson Triple XXX Stout

I love a good dark beer and this does not disappoint. It is however a bit on the sweet side. Unlike most other beers that land fleetingly in my fridge, a six pack of this will definitely leave a few overnight guests on the shelf. One or two in a sitting is enough to get your fill. It's reminiscent of a sweet version of a strong coffee or tiramasu. It coats the tongue and fills the belly. Yummy!...
