Best Teether5
My fourth month old little girl has been teething for some time already, and we have tried many teethers. But this by far is the best. It is so easy for her to put in her mouth without getting fustrated. The berry part is the perfect size and shape for her mouth. My daughter does not use any kinds of pacifers but this teether she loves. I will be giving it as gifts to all the news moms I know.

teether came apart1
I absolutely love the idea of this teether which is why I bought it. Unfortunately, the raspberry part (which seemed like it was just glued) came apart from the rest of the binky which posed a huge chocking hazard. This scared me since I usually leave teethers in my child's crib where I am not constantly supervising. I would not recommend this product. I feel a lot more confident in the teether binky from "Soothie" that is all one piece. It's unfortunate because it looks like it would be a fantastic product if only it was constructed safer...

Great for teething5
My daughter has never taken a pacifier, but I bought this for her anyway because it was so different. And sure enough when I tried to put it in her mouth, she spit it right out.

But then she had a horrible fit of teething pain a few days later, and I gave this to her again, and she's loved it ever since. She can actually hold onto the ring, unlike most pacifiers, so she can put it in her mouth herself, take it out, chew on it however she likes, and repeat. The green but is textured and has jagged edges, and she loves to chew on them when she's feeling teething pain. The red bit is bigger than most pacifiers, and I think it's not really meant to sooth... she just gnaws away at it when she's in pain.

Kudos to whoever designed this... it's great!

If I could give it 10 stars I would!!!! Excellent Product!5
I purchased this item at my local baby mega-store when they had just put them out on the sales floor, on a whim. I had just begun feeding my 4 month old baby at the time and was frustrated with how messy it was. The design of this product is brilliant, and what I realized after its first use is that the reason traditional spoons are so messy for feeding a baby is because the underside of a spoon gets as much food on it as the "bowl" side of the spoon, and a baby does not know to use their bottom lip to swipe that food so that it stays in their mouth. With this spoon/device, the orange part is flexible silicone that holds more than 3 fluid ounces of baby food. The clear top screws on once you fill the "handle" with the puree food. At the tip of the clear part is a small well shaped baby spoon that has a hole leading to the inside of the "handle". When you invert the spoon, the food settles down to the clear part of the handle, and with a little squeeze by the adult, the perfect amount of food comes out into the "bowl" of the spoon. NO FOOD ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SPOON!!! It has been almost 2 months now, and feeding time is a joy at my home for adults as well as our baby. He honestly eats better because of the easy delivery. Also, since you don't keep dipping a contaminated spoon back into a baby jar, whatever food does not get eaten during feeding time can easily be transferred to a storage container and used at the next feeding. I purchased another one of these spoons so that I can feed an entree and a side item at each feeding. Brilliant Product!!!

Well made, easy to use and very functional.5
I purchase this spoon on a whim, figuring we might find a use for it from time to time. Little did I know it would become our favorite feeding tool.

1) My daughter happily eats from it. She sometimes has trouble getting all the food out of the bowl of the spoon, but it hasn't prevented her from enjoying the experience.

2) It prevents you from contaminating the remaining food. As my daughter tries new things, it sometimes takes her a meal or five to actually eat even a small jar of the new food. This spoon allows you to feed your child without dipping a spoon into the jar and thus contaminating it.

3) It's easy to store. The snap-on cap over the spoon does a fantastic job of keeping the remaining food in the barrel. We just pop the cap on and store it in the door of our refrigerator.

Just know that you will want more than one. We now have three so we can keep foods rotated throughout the day. It won't work for chunkier purees, but those first foods and smoother foods (applesauce, yogurt, etc) are fantastic in it.

Everyone needs one of these!5
This is a fabulous spoon! Basically you stick the baby food in the spoon put the top on and go. So whether you're at the park the mall or a restaurant you just whip it out and you're ready to feed your little one!

For those that make your own food its super easy - just take it from what you have made and toss it in there. But if you are using store bought stuff you have to scoop it into the container (which can be a little bit of an extra step but really well worth it). I found that stage one and two foods come out of this quite easily. While it says it only holds 3 oz of food I've gotten 4oz jars of baby food into it.

The hole is small so stage three foods are a little tougher but they still come out. Homemade stuff comes out if you puree it enough (not big chunks) and homemade yogurt (or the store bought stuff too!) comes out fantastic.

Its so easy to keep your little one clean while out and about. Keeping the spoon itself clean is easy because the spoon head has a cap. And clean up after is fantastic just rinse it with hot water and all the food comes out!! I've never had to dig into it like I thought I would...

I can't say enough great things about this. Its made life easier when we're out and about and its so darn adorable. It comes in pink & orange. Its easy to prepare use and clean...you cannot go wrong with this purchase!

Potential Hazard to your baby's health - Do not buy!1
I initially loved this product until I found green chipped paint from the feeder. It probably came off from my son's gnawing. I didn't even realize that there is paint on the feeder until it chipped off. If you look closely a the rim, every other square is painted green. I was so upset to know that paint was used on a product given to babies. The paint serves no such purpose an is barely noticeable. I am appalled to think that my son may have eaten some of the chipped paint for no reason. I will not buy any more product from a company with no regard for children's safety.

Great for teething.5
I prefer this mesh feeder to the Munchkin brand. This one is larger and easier to clean. I don't really like to put food in it. I freeze unsweetened applesauce in a ice cube tray, then pop one into the mesh. My son loves them, especially when he is teething.

well designed, they thought of everything4
The protective cap and the water-filled base are great features that other similar feeding mesh bags don't have. My only complaint is that the latches are a little hard to squeeze when unscrewing the base, but I guess it's better to err on the side of safety and make it harder to open rather than risk that a child opens it and chokes on the food in the bag.

fresh foods and convenience5
This is an incredibly useful product. We use it with our 7 month old, and he can feed himself fresh fruit and vegetables. Apples and pears work best. Carrots give him something to chew on, but he doesn't get very far. Bananas are his favorite, though they are the messiest and hardest to clean up--the riper the banana the easier it is to clean the mesh. The nicest part is that he feeds himself! One tip: we use a pacifier clip to keep him from throwing it on the floor.

Pretty good but hard to clean3
I think this is a great concept but I find it very hard to clean. Banana is almost impossible to get out. All the fibers of the banana get stuck in the seams and it is so hard to get out. I ended up cutting the extra mesh around the seam hoping it would help a little. I put them in the dishwasher, use a scrub brush, etc but there's always something left. And then it gets dried up in the mesh and flakes off but is still stuck in those darn seams! Maybe I just need to use firmer fruits and veggies and leave the banana for finger food.

Kind of a hassle but baby loves it and I can give her a little "appetizer" while I am getting her meals ready.

Great product5
We love these things! I usually keep one loaded up with a banana in the freezer for a teething day treat. We use the other one for afternoon snack. I actually want to buy a couple more packs so I can keep 2 or 3 in the freezer.

Like one of the other reviewer's said, pears and apples work pretty well. In my experience, a frozen banana seems to clean off a little easier than regular banana.

Some cleaning advice: You have to rinse this thing immediately after use for best cleaning results. It's not a big deal and there's no way around it, but man! This is messy fun for baby! :)

Editorial Review
Parents can grow weary of shoving an assortment of blankets into a stroller to keep baby insulated on lengthy walks. Fortunately, this handy little pouch keeps baby warm with a minimum of fussing for Mom and Dad. The exterior is made out of soft yet durable fleece material while the inside is made of a thick faux sheepskin. There are openings for three and five point harnesses, which should cover most strollers so baby can be extra secure, even on bumpy roads. The entire unit is also machine-washable (on cold cycle, tumble dry on low). This Bundle Me is designed for children up to 12 months or 21 pounds, whichever comes first. We're not sure how snug a bug in a rug is, precisely, but it couldn't be much cozier than this. --Charlie Williams

From the Manufacturer
The shearling inner lining of the New Original Bundle Me features a luxurious texture, while the polyester fleece exterior provides extra warmth. Reinforced openings through the thin back layer allow safety straps of either three- or five- point harness systems to rest directly on child. It can be used with car seats, strollers, joggers, and bike trailers.

Kept our winter baby warm and cozy5
Some thoughtful friends sent us a Bundle Me when our son was born. When initially shopping for baby items, I hadn't thought we'd need such a thing, but it was incredibly useful. The bottom half stays in the car seat, making it warm and snuggly, and the top half zips on. We left it zipped on all the time for convenience, and just varied the degree to which we zipped our son in depending on the temperature. You can keep it zipped all the way for travel to the car, and easily unzip a bit for ventilation when riding in a warm vehicle. No need for a bulky snowsuit or blankets- just throw on a hat, and when you reach your destination, baby can be unzipped in a second and is comfortably dressed for indoor temperatures. The straps of our carseat fit through the holes perfectly. If you're concerned about this, I would head into BRS and simply ask a salesperson to demonstrate the product with your carseat. Also important- the Bundle Me washes quite well. Only downside to this product for me-and it's a minor point- is that I sometimes preferred carrying my son in a Snugli while running certain errands. When we got out of the car, I would put on the Snugli and load baby in, but then needed to wrap up with warm blankets for the walk into the building, since he was only wearing indoor clothes. Not a concern when you're bringing the carseat infant carrier inside, which was most often the case for us.

As for safety concerns, I was willing to accept the information below from the product description. And where the well-being of my child is concerned, I was comforted to know that the Bundle Me prevented his catching a chill throughout our cold New England winter.

"In line with JJ Cole's commitment to child safety, the Bundle Me has been tested to FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard) 213 requirements. All tests passed on the child restraint system, indicating that the Bundle Me product appeared to have little to no effect on the performance of the child restraint system."

Great for cold climates4
I would suggest the Bundle Me for anyone who has an infant car seat as opposed to a convertible car seat. If you can take the car seat out of your car, this is very useful. If you need to bring the child out to the car and take him out of it, you still need to bundle him up in something else. It's also really great for strollers. I love it and so does my son. He pulls it up and snuggles into it.

The Fleece Comes Off2
The fleece (polyester) that lines the inside comes off so easily. My little one had it all over her hands. I didn't want her to swallow it or inhale it so I sent it back. I use the Bundle Me Lite and that works great...no fuzzies that come off.

Never had a leak.5
These are plain and simply the best diapers on the market. I can't say nearly as much for regular Pampers, Huggies, or even Luvs. We tried every brand available when my son was born a size preemie - nothing would fit on him, and everything leaked! We had our hospital guests running out for us to find us preemie onsies, sleepers, and diapers. Then we finally decided to try these, and they still fit him, no matter what he's growing like at the time. They're super stretchy and the softest diaper I've felt. Nothing scratchy touching the baby, and since they stretch and fit comfortably snug no matter what, you never have a pile of left over diapers that don't fit him anymore, when they go up to a new size. They fit till the end, and they overlap each other in size rage so there are no weird periods of growth when he's an 'in-between' size. They are also SUPER absorbant. We've changed more than one leak from Huggies, (regular) Pampers, and Luvs and most of them were all from 'weird angle!' accidents and the diapers were barely wet. With Swaddlers you go to change the diaper and it's as heavy as a softball and you're just flabberghasted. They pull everything away from his skin, and are just plain and simple = wonderful.

Awesome diapers in a hard to find size!5
My son spends the majority of time in between sizes. These are the same diapers you already love but in a size just bigger than 1s! I don't know what we'd do without these since 1s are much too small and 2s are HUGE!

Pampers too much perfume3
I agree that pampers swaddlers are good diapers - they are soft and conform well the the baby's bottom. My complaint is that they have too much perfume/odor. This has caused a very bad rash on my daughter. We tried everything you could imagine to stop this rash and then when it started to travel up the front and back we knew it was something else. We were using Huggies and I tried the Swaddlers as they were on sale. When we switched back, the rash immdiately started to heal - this was after 2 weeks of trying everything. They should offer an odor free version as I would consider it again.

Needs Improvement3
My daughter definitely prefers warm wipes and in that respect we love this warmer. No more "startled baby" from using cold wipes. And it's true, we haven't had a brown wipe yet.

However I have one complaint. We've found the only wipes that work with the "pop up" feature are the pampers wipes. We got lots of huggies wipes refills for our shower and they wont "pop up". So be aware of that. We have to open the lid every time. And when you open the lid water WILL spill out.

First thing my husband went out for after my baby was born!5
Okay, honestly, with all those baby items out there I thought that this one was really "over the top" and didn't think to put it on my registry. Well, my little guy had a hard time keeping warm when he was born and definitely hated cold wipes so off to Babies r us went my husband the first day we were home. Oh, what a Godsend this thing is! Now, regarding the browning of the wipes, DON'T put an entire pack of wipes in the unit. Just put about 1/3 of the package in and seal up the remaining wipes in the bag (if using pampers, buy huggies first and reuse their resealable bag), or just use a ziploc. That way, they don't brown, they get warmer TONS faster, they don't dry out, and everyone is happier. I have found that Pampers have a tendency to dry out faster than huggies if you put in a bunch at a time, but other than that, I love this thing! Mine has been operational for almost 3 years now, nonstop and still going. I think this thing is a definite must for every little baby.

Love it, only one negative for me4
I have two of these in my house (one for each floor), and I couldn't live w/o them. They keep the wipes a nice temperature--I took the advice of other users and placed this on a coated wire rack (almost like a small, white-coated cookie cooling rack--you typically put these in a cupboard to create shelves to put cans on, etc). I found a tall but tiny latex-coated rack at Target for less than $5 and the warmer fits PERFECTLY on top. I keep them on the changing table (painted wood) and have had no problems w/ heat or water "ruining" my table. And the little shelf looks great (doesn't muck up image of the room if you get the right size) under it. And you don't have to have the pop=up wipes, since you can just as easily open the large lid as you can open the pop-up lid. Great all around. Only negative for me is that the bottom few wipes tend to smell stagnant when you get down to the bottom, no matter how fast you go thru a box of wipes and regardless of how well you wash that little moisture pad at the bottom. I've even tried scented wipes, but those last 10 or so just smell less than rosy. So I toss 'em. Not enough of a negative to keep me from loving this product!

Fast, Convenient Heating
The Quick Serve heats any bottle instantly, whether it's straight, angled, wide-necked or disposable (glass bottles, however, should not be used). Once baby starts eating solid foods, you can also use this unit to warm a jar of baby food. An included basket for baby food jars and graduated water droppers keep things neat and organized, while the easy-to-read grid allows for effortless measuring.

Safe Steam Heat
The Quick Serve takes the fear and guesswork out of warming, so you won't have to worry about inconsistent temperatures or the loss of precious nutrients. By utilizing steam heat to warm bottles or jars, this warmer eliminates the possibility of hot spots and unlike microwaves, preserves the nutritional value of the liquids and foods it heats. For added safety, the auto-shut-off button ensures that you never leave the unit on too long or risk overheating milk or baby food.

User-Friendly Design and Operation
The Quick Serve is easy to use--just plug in the unit, add water, slip in the bottle or jar, and press the "on" button. Five minutes later your formula, milk or baby food is warm and ready. If you need to immediately heat another bottle or jar, simply wait 10 minutes to allow the heating element to cool off, and you're ready to go. And for added peace of mind, it also comes with a 90 day limited warranty.

Love this product!!!4
I love this product so much that I bought another one for my mom's house. I use it to heat up my 4oz medela and healthflow bottles and tried the Avents bottles. Yes the milk does get hot if you leave it til the warmer shuts off. But I usually check the bottle 1/2 way through the time (est. 3-4min), shake the bottle and the milk is PERFECT!!!!! Therefore it takes a total of 3-4 minutes for you to have a warm bottle, much quicker than putting it in boiling water. 2 other good things about this warmer are: 1)it has the auto shut-off capability unlike other warmers, where you have to unplug the unit and 2)it is small and doesn't take up too much space on your countertop.

Goldilocks would lose her patience...not always "just right"2
Heating breastmilk...who knew it would be such a science! The microwave will cause loss of nutrients and hot spots, and a pan of hot water will take an agonizingly long time when accompanied by a hungry, crying baby. Enter the Quick Serve Bottle Warmer, what I thought would be the most convenient method. It is...and well, it isn't.

Yes, this warmer is convenient, as it can heat bottles in under the five minutes it advertises, especially if you are using disposable bags or drop-in liners. However, it can get these bags extremely hot, so you need to stand by the warmer and test the bottle periodically. Regular plastic bottles tend to take longer and don't heat up as well. The performance of the warmer is not consistent. It works well sometimes, but usually only if you pay close attention to it, testing the bottle as it warms. Goldilocks would lose her patience with this one, as it is hardly ever "just right".

Here's how it works: You fill the included blue vial to the first line for smaller bottles (4 oz.), the top line for bigger bottles (8 oz.). You dump the water (which is a tiny amount) directly into the chamber where the bottle will sit. Place the bottle in and press the button on the front. In about 30 seconds steam begins to form and in about two minutes (when the nearly all the water has been turned to steam) the unit automatically shuts off. This does not mean, however, that the bottle is done. It may need to sit there longer if you have more liquid or a larger bottle. And, with drop-ins, it may need to be removed from the warmer sooner.

Some problems with the warmer include:

- The blue filling vial. It is difficult to see the fill lines on it, especially at night. A clear fill cup with printed lines would be visually better. Moreover, the amount they suggest for smaller vs. bigger bottles doesn't necessarily fit your own bottles. You need to test it out and see what amount of water works best for you. And there's such a small amount of water that you're using that it is difficult to use the same exact amount each time.

- Smaller bottles. Steam quickly rises around smaller/thinner bottles, making them too hot to pick up and swirl to mix or to test the heat of the bottle.

- Wait 10 minutes to try again. The instructions state that the unit needs 10 minutes to cool down if you need to use it again. Well, I have gotten it to work again more quickly than that (sometimes immediately), although, I don't know if this is damaging the product in the long run. This is why it's better to put MORE water than you need into the unit and test the bottle as it warms. This way you're not stuck waiting for the unit to work again to heat up a cool bottle.

These caveats aside, this is a nice accessory for your nursery, especially for late-night feedings. No drowsy trips to the kitchen. Keep a cooler next to it with your bottle and you never need to stumble to a downstairs kitchen.

The bottom line: if you realize that heating bottles is not an exact science and that every bottle needs to be tested and adjusted, then you will do well with this warmer. If you think there is a magic alarm that will go off when the bottle hits the exact perfect temperature, well, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn for ya...

Very Nice4
It's a convenient product for those finicky babies who likes their food warm. On the plus side, it's smaller than most warmers so it doesn't take up much space. It has a measured water cup on the side to indicate how much water is necessary for steaming. It fits all bottles including the Avent (4 and 9oz.) with a detachable ring on top for even heating. A convenient lighted button turns off when all the water has evaporated from the steamer indicating the bottle is ready.
The only problem I have with it is it initially requires a few attempts,by adding or removing water, to get the temperature just right for the amount of formula used as it tends to overheat or underheat.
