"Got the authentic Sophie and baby loves it!"
"It squeaks when you squeeze it so it functions as a basic toy as well as a teether with contrasting surfaces for sensitive gums without being too hard or too soft. The reviews for this products were very positive and its been on the market for a long time so I've got a lot of faith that this will be a good teether and toy for my daughter."
"Pretty hard to spend so much on chew toys but my daughter just adores her and it buys me some sanity."
"Even though the "quality" of the one I purchased from Amazon seemed "ok", there was clear issues & errors with the packaging and toy itself that were dead giveaways. You have no idea what type of paint and rubber is used on the fake ones and taking the chance is not worth the few extra bucks savings. Hooves are bigger and more "defined" on the real one. I hope this helps everyone looking to purchase one of these great toys."
"I did not put hot glue over the hole, because that pops right out if it's chewed enough and it would've become a choking hazard. This mold growth was due to excessively drooly babies using it for over two years for it's intended purpose- a teething toy."
"Who knows what kind of chemical our baby has been sucking on... Also, the paint is pretty much gone now."

"All other teething toys were too big to fit in her mouth (necklace beads, giraffe, Kiki the elephant, etc) the only thing that worked previously was a small rubber tipped spoon we got from the hospital at discharge."
"This cute little banana is fun for my son to chew on while alleviating some of the pain for him."
"When I held this up to her tonight she was visibly excited and relieved and immediately gnawed for a good 5 minutes solid without stopping."
"My baby doesn't have teeth yet, but she loves chewing on this and doesn't get upset when I rub it around in her mouth."
"Baby instinctively put it in her mouth, immediately drooling all over and smiling from having squicky fun."
"She has no problem with us using a regular tooth brush in her mouth but she doesn't choose to chew on the brush end of this product."
"My son loved this at around 6 months and is still happy to see Cornelius every now and again at 17 months."

It travels well as you can smash it down at it bounces back to full shape when you pull it out of the bag. I just wash it with hot soapy water... or sometimes clean it off with paci wipes if he drops it on the go."
"Got this for a 3-month old baby that absolutely loves it."
"Super soft, lots of places to grab onto, small enough to teeth on, large enough not to choke on."
"Everyone commented on the bright colors and how easy it was for the babies to grip and hold."
"To be honest I thought this toy did not look very attractive, and wondered why it had all those raving reviews."
"This toy is perfect- easy for a baby to grab since the rings are so thin and there are many of them- and also great for chewing on!"
"She's got better control of her hands now, so she pulls & tugs at it & brings it to her mouth."
"My 5 month old enjoys chewing on it."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I have come to the conclusion that these necklaces don't actually work, and yet, at the same time, they do work. The most plausible reason I've seen is that Baltic amber contains succinic acid that is released when the amber is warmed by skin contact. Baltic amber (also known as succinite) does actually contain succinic acid (approximately 3-8%), but that's about where the truth to the claim ends. Unbound succinic acid is present, but then you're looking at a small fraction of that 3-8%, which then gets even smaller when you consider that only a tiny amount of the amber (just the surface) is in contact with the skin. Succinic acid is water soluble, so it could be dissolved if it comes in contact with water/sweat, but then that would require the baby to be damp/sweaty all the time for it to work. If parents are happier and calmer because they think this amber necklace works, then chances are the baby will also be happier and calmer, even if the necklace isn't reducing any pain or discomfort."
"Not only is the quality of amber outstanding, but the necklace, made of tough string has individually tied beads. The Amber beads are lovely and as a believer in alternative forms of health care, I am convinced of the healing properties of Amber."
"Strangers stop me regularly to ask about the necklace and I highly recommend the Baltic Wonder Baltic Amber teething necklace to everyone."
"There's also a card inside that certifies the amber's authenticity and (more importantly, imho) explains how to use the necklace safely. I recommend this product if you're looking for a quality amber teething necklace at an affordable price."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I have compared the readings with another digital thermometer and I don't get the exact readings. Has 20 memory recalls which is great because the LED reading shuts off very quickly. But, since it has a memory of the last 20 readings, that is not a problem for me."
"You have the ability to take the temperature through no contact sensor from the forehead or you can use the ear probe."
"The first time I took a temperature on a forehead it gave the temp in degrees F. I than tried it in the ear canal to see if the temps were the same or closely the same. The thermometer switched to degrees C. I tried everything to get back to having readings in degrees F. I read the entire booklet that came with the thermometer and I looked at their online site."
"This is my second thermometer of this type. Just remove the cover and press 'Ear' button for ear temperature reading, or remove cover & probe and press 'Head' button for forehead measurement."
"This thermometer offers both in ear and forehead scanning for temperature."
"On average from using a national comparison charts online, I found that a normal temperature reading should be between 98.4 – 99.3. Simply press the HEAD button while rubbing it back and forth across your forehead a couple of times. None of us get sick very often, however, it's always good to have one of these in the house and from having used this model and brand I feel fairly confident that the forehead reading are correct."
"You press the button and run the thermometer from one side of the forehead to the other and it gives you a quick temperature. You put the sensor in the ear and press the ear button and instantly get the temperature reading."

"Excellent!"
"I purchased THREE ultrasonic cool must humidifiers last week (one for each bedroom in our house) and after using them for several nights, I absolutely LOVE them!! Update--I have now been using these humidifiers for almost one month, every night. My eyes are not dry when I run these every night, but when I travelled to D.C. recently and stayed in a hotel (and didn't have my humidifier) I got a nose bleed in the middle of the night and woke up with bone-dry mouth and eyes."

"The files are of good quality and last through multiple uses."
"The only thing I will say is that when the nails grow back, they are jagged...I've tried to use the buffer that comes with it but it's just like a piece of felt, it doesn't make the edges smoother, just cleans out the dust from filing the nails."
"My daughter is 3 months old and for 3 months I have struggled to keep her tiny baby talons at bay using a regular baby nail file."
"I love this thing and having a newborn with thin nails and fragile fingers I was so afraid to cut his nails, but needed it so badly since he was born with long, sharp ones."

"This is great sunscreen, we ordered and prefer the spray but received the lotion."
"I have extremely sensitive skin and am allergic to many of the chemicals in typical sunscreen."
"I did need to reapply on super sunny days or if we were in the water for extended (like more than 3-4 hours) periods of time, but with sunscreen, that's just common sense :)."
"Love this sunscreen for my 2 year old ."
"I assumed they were safe, since it’s a reputable brand advertising “mineral sunscreen” and “organic ingredients” HOWEVER one of the active ingredients, Octinoxate, is proven to be horrible for humans; it messes with hormones, is rapidly absorbed by the skin and can be found in your blood, urine and breast milk. If that’s not enough, it is also toxic to coral reefs- to the point that many foreign resorts will not allow the use of sunscreens with this chemical in it."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"It is extremely gentle on the baby's nose, in fact there is no way it even enters the baby's nose, It just rests at the entrance of the nostril. Every baby needs to breathe through his/her nose to feed without difficulty and this definitely helps."
"1 or 2 little "baby colds" later, half a dozen restless if not completely sleepless nights later, I sent him out to purchase this miracle tube. The snot is collected into a tube at the baby's nose, and then you blow it back out into a nearby tissue or wipe. You lay him down on the changing table and grab the bulb syringe and depress it, and stick it into his nose. It slooooowly regains its shape and sucks out a bit of snot. The problem with the bulb thingy is that it doesn't always "suck" fast enough, leaving you with a screaming baby. Enter nosefrida: You grab it and place the end of the tube into the baby's nose. And if you don't have one yet, well, let's just say that your conversation topics and amazon searches will become totally shameless, and snot is the least disgusting thing you will experience and talk about."
"My 3 month old caught his first cold a couple weeks ago, and I worship this product. In fact, when friends who are having babies ask that "what's the one product you can't live without" question, I always tell them the NoseFrida."
"we came home from the hospital with a pretty decent nose-sucking bulb...it did a reasonably OK job of sucking out boogers...and was reasonably firm and springy. some were too hard to squeeze and didn't spring back quickly enough. we even tried a fancy battery powered nose vacuum that made a whirring sound but produced nary a single lump of green gold. there's a technique to it: - suck in quick short bursts with your mouth muscles first...to loosen things up. - then, suck in long hoover-style bursts to get those boogies out. - if the boogies get stuck near the surface, try pulling the end of the thing out a little mid-suck a few times. - use a tissue or q-tip to get any nose goblins that are loitering anywhere accessible. - repeat. if i was a professional booger sucker...and it was my job to suck the snot out of noses 8 hours a day, i would insist on using this thing."
