Find Best Price at Amazon"Seriously. * For Instance, I Found The Same Cup (Costs 2X As Much):Munchkin Miracle 360 Cup Colors May Vary, 7 oz. * NOTE: No Tippy Cup Is 100% 'Leak Proof'. I Need A Plastic Jar With A Full Lid. * It Usually Evaporates Before I Can Even Get To The Drip With A Paper Towel. * I Have Gotten Her 17 Million Dollars Worth Of Tippy Cups That She Won’t Use. * Yes I’m exaggerating, but, I know that I have bought at least 15 Different ones With The Traditional 'Nipple Tip". Use Developmental Skills, Explore, Expand Her Abilities, Ect... * .She stays with me Monday through Friday, while her mommy, my daughter, teaches Middle School Science. * She grabbed the handles and put it to her mouth and drank. She's Drinking. * The way the liquid comes out is that the child sucks on it, Or Press Their Lips To The Edge. * She Immediately Got Water Using A Normal drinking motion. * NOTE: I read a review about this gathering bacteria and not coming clean. No Way If You Clean The Pieces."
"My husband ordered this for our baby and when it arrived (he wasn't home), I had no idea of how it worked???"
"I also have to wash the milk cups daily or they start accumulate milk in the hole in the center of the rubber lid and will start smelling like sour milk. There are only 4 pieces to take apart and wash and that includes the rubber ring that seals the cup and handles, which only needs to be taken off and washed every week or so."
"My husband and I both tried to drink from it and it does seem a little hard at times. I did hold it up to her mouth and push the sides down so a little water would come out into her mouth to show her what would happen and she tried it a few times but was done quickly."
"Cleaning is easy too- 3 pieces- the cup, the lid, and the colored portion of the lid which just pulls off with a little force."
"We have had ours with water (and probably a little food leftovers) in them for a couple of days, if we forgot it before going away for a weekend, and we haven't experienced any mold."

Your standard spouted sippy cup is just a bottle with a harder nipple. Yes, because when I buy a sippy cup, I expect the cup to magically cancel out the laws of motion, force, physics, momentum and intertia. The fact that this cup does not suspend the laws of the natural world when it comes to matter, and its Newtonian movement has totally made me rethink my purchase of these cups.No. No sippy cup in the world can meet this impossible standard. OMG, I DIDNT KNOW THE RUBBER PART CAME OFF, THERE'S ALL THIS MOLD. You didnt read the little card that came with it that explained how the top came off?"
"I cleaned it off and it was easy to put back on but my cup doesn't work the same anymore."
"UPDATE - 2017/12/08. Tips to help better understand these cups... 1) There are 4 different parts to each cup that need to be cleaned: cup (solid plastic, colored), lid (solid plastic, white), spill seal (soft rubber, colored) and lid seal (soft rubber, clear). 2) Filling the cup to around 1/8" lower than the lowest inner edge around the cup, at the bottom of the threads, can prevent seepage of the liquid through the top."

"I have a 21 month old that has used these since she could start sucking out of a sippy and now she uses cups with no lids. When the baby grabs these they can suck out of any part of the top of the cup instantly. But as a mom it’s the no spill or leak factor that I love the most."

"The feature to keep the spoon itself off the tabletop doesn't work in real life - what toddler is coordinated enough to set the spoon down the exact right way every time?"
"My one year old had been using a set of plastic utensils that worked great for very soft foods and for safely learning how to use a fork, but the better he got at using them the more he began to get frustrated that he couldn't get the food on the fork because the prongs weren't long or sharp enough."
"Perfect sized forks for my nearly 16 month old..."
"They are easy for her to hold, and the shallow shape of the fork end makes it easy for her to scoop up food as well as to stick it, so this works like a combination spoon and fork."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I make our baby food at home using the steam/hand blend/freeze method but this allows us to make baby food right there on the spot and it's nice and fresh. Sure one can argue (poorly at that) that a fork and bowl could yield the same results, but dump your fresh food right in, give the small pulverzier a push and about 2 spins later, you have fresh baby food. I like that you can feed your baby right out of the bowl and clean up is a breeze."
"This was the perfect item to mash up food to give to our 11 month old. UPDATE: - over 6 months later and we have pretty much stopped using this product as our son is old enough (and has enough teeth) to not need most foods mashed up. We look forward to being able use this the entire time with this baby."
"I made fresh peas and green beans and had a harder time mashing than, say, sweet potatoes or bananas."
"He's starting to be old enough to be eating table food - If I had it to do over again, I would have bought it 3 months earlier AND would have gotten two!"
"On our first trip to SD from LA we took a couple of avo's and bananas and i must say it worked like a charm, it was fresh, quick and pretty clean as you smash directly on the bowl you are feeding the baby."

"My littlest who is now 21months enjoys these the most, but my 5year old doesnt as much (he prefers to use his regular plates instead). The eyes of the smiley face are large enough of a circle to hold single serve Greek yogurt cups or prepackaged cups of applesauce or fruit. As a mom, many times I get into the routine of just serving one main food dish and not really giving my child the opportunity to try and eat multiple foods to provide a more balanced meal."
"We were very excited when we saw the ad for the ex pz mat.We're grandparents that babysit daily and dumping her plate is her new phase."
"I was really excited to try these after I saw them on shark tank however I think my son was a little too old\clever for them."
"She seems much happier at the table and seems to focus much more on actually eating just like mummy and daddy rather than throwing things on the floor."
"Since realizing the problem I've been washing, airing, sniffing the plate to see if the smell is gone but it is still there! Because of the smell, I tossed it in the dishwasher to see if that'll help. Only the blue smells. Mat did not last with washings and my kid was eating soap fragrances."
"I love the idea however it took my son only 5 seconds after trying to pick it up from the edge of the bowl to go to the edge of the mat and pick up the whole mat."
"My 14 month old figured out the first time I used it how to get his fingers under the corner and lift the whole thing up."

"They are easy to maneuver so that they don’t appear bumpy under my clothes and they absorb any leaking milk really well to keep my nipples dry."
"Work the best of all disposables."
"I can't say enough good things about these pads!"
"I cannot comment on how well the adhesive sticks as I change them so often, I have no use to stick them to my bra. If it were up to me, I wouldn't have the adhesive on there but for those that need it, I'm sure it's great."
"I've worn them to toddler time at the library and Barre class and haven't worried for a second that they may shift or pop out! (Side note: if you have any nursing pads with adhesive in one spot, get rid of them. I did always keep an extra few in the diaper bag, just in case, but I was always confident in the pads I was wearing and the backups I had in the wing. Add in the pad itself and that's a pretty full bathroom trash bin at the end of the week."
"I initially bought washable nursing pads to use since I thought that it would be nice to have something reusable for leaking (both for eco and convenience)."

With the soft nature of these bottles and their durability I was able to use these (although not the way they were intended - pic attached) from prince lionheart: http://amzn.com/B003JZAUGM. They have worked great for us, perhaps they will help someone else out there looking for handles for these wonderful bottles!"
"I have to formula feed my baby and was on a quest to find the best bottle. So naturally, I started with Dr. Brown's standard bottles. But she was still occasionally having issues and Dr. Brown's bottles are a real pain to clean. After a lot of trial and error, and research, I decided to go with Comotomo. Yes, they may be a little higher priced compared to other brands, but they are worth every penny. If you squeeze/massage bottle milk will gently flow out of nipple. .Dual air vents on nipple work wonders for gassy babies. .Slow Flow nipples do not drip milk when turned upside down. .Soft silicone and round shape make it easier for baby to learn to hold bottle. .Tight fit in diaper bag pockets designed for standard bottles."
"Chances are you are reading this review because you are either 1) Being proactive about finding a bottle for your soon to be arriving baby that you plan to breastfed or 2) Absolutely desperate to find a bottle that your breastfed baby will actually take. I worked in a daycare center years before I got pregnant, and though I wasn't working in the infant rooms themselves, it was so utterly heart-wrenching to hear some of those newly enrolled babies screaming and crying hysterically since they refused to take a bottle."
Best Baby Feeding Gift Sets
The Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Standard Baby Bottles offer a wonderful feeding experience with innovative vent technology. As the baby feeds, air is channeled from the nipple collar through the vent system to the back of the bottle. Air never mixes with the breast milk or formula so oxidation is prevented, thereby maintaining essential vitamins such as C, A and E. The vent system eliminates air bubbles in the formula or milk, which helps to reduce feeding problems like colic, spit-up, burping and gas. The Newborn Feeding Set comes with 3 8oz/240ml Standard bottles, 2 4oz/120ml Standard bottle, 2 extra Level-Two silicone nipples, 2 Storage/Travel caps and 3 "cleaning" brushes are small nipple brushes and they are INSIDE the bottles. Internal Vent Decreases Vacuum Effect. A patented system enables babies to feed more comfortably because the built-in vent discourages ingestion of air bubbles. Dr. Browns newborn feeding set includes everything needed to get started on the wonderful, ever-changing world of sustaining an infant (except the actual milk, that is): Three 8-ounce standard baby bottles, two 4-ounce standard baby bottles, five Level-One silicone nipples, two extra Level-Two silicone nipples (faster-flowing for the older baby), five 2-piece patented internal vents, two storage/travel caps, three cleaning brushes, and instructions. Vent system that removes air from milk maintains essential vitamins such as C, A and E. Helps prevent fluid in the ear.

"The feeding itself was longer and more controlled, less milk was lost, and my son wasn't taking big gulps as he had with the other brand."
"Only complaint I have about this set in particular is the numbers for oz measurement are the same color as the bottle plastic so it's so so hard to read and is incredibly frustrating."
"Also, taking a q-tip to that piece of the bottle helps a LOT! Those bottle brushes that come with the bottles don't get that rubber piece clean enough."
"Worked as directed, however our son was too small even for the smaller nipples."
"I love dr browns bottles, i have so many, and the price on here you can not beat, they came so fast, and my 4 month old loves them, shes even holding her own bubba!!"

"With only 3 weeks left in my pregnancy, the sleep situation was getting dire but I didn't want to spend the money for a Snoogle."
"I ordered this pillow because it doesn’t take up as much room on my bed as the U shaped pillows do, but I’m not fond that there’s a pillow dividing me and Hubby and the pillow sometimes get me really hot."
"As she assured me, it’s because she’s “getting old, not pregnant!” Apparently her doctor suggested this kind of pillow, and she says it’s been “freaking awesome” and has eliminated her hip pain."
"I could not fall asleep without a pillow in between my legs and then I would toss and turn all night only to fall asleep and wake up shortly afterwards due to hip pains."
"After poor sleep with the pillow, I started researching more about sleep positions and while you see some talk about a pillow between the knees, other advice suggested that wasn't a good idea and the key was having a pillow of the right height to support the top leg for side lying. When I used the pillow as a straight 'I' body pillow, it provided the right support for my hips and didn't make me hot."
"I have used this pillow now 3 nights in a row, and my Sleep has not improved, just got worse. The first night was uncomfortable, but I thought it may have been how I slept with the pillow, so I tried it again the second night."

Find Best Price at Amazon"3) Overflowing water - I'm guessing this can only be the result of not bothering to notice the MAX FILL line on the reservoir. If you wait too long, powder will build-up and change the consistency of the formula (aha....another reason for poor results!). Another bonus...When grandma babysits, there's no measuring, mixing and bottle-heating required - we just tell her to put a bottle under the dispenser and press start. It's basically "formula on demand" (we jokingly refer to it as the baby's Kuerig as it sits next to ours on the counter and works similarly). One thing we make a habit of doing is capping the bottle and giving a gentle shake to ensure the mix is blended - in our quest for the right formula, we've noticed some formula clumps more than others in the bottle, but this is not a result of the machine - it's a result of mixing powder and water. Update Feb 2015...Still working fine for us....Changed the baby's formula type - adjusted the settings...business as usual."
"I found that just by the look of the two comparisons in a dish, the Brezza was dispensing too much formula. The reviews about mold in the water dispenser silicone "straw" are because they left the lid on 24/7 and of course mold will grow in warm humid conditions. I have never seen any mold but I am super paranoid about it, so I leave the top off the water any time that I know there is no chance of anything getting in the water container (like when I'm cooking, etc). So far, no mold EVER, and the water dispenser acts just like a sink fountain when dispensing the water."
"Time saver and kicked up the quality of the bottle milk to a whole level. I never understand why good items always seem to attract the "fake" news. During the 3rd week cleaning I did see a small, very small, amount of mold on the side of the unit where the water tank touches the unit. We had to use a different powder, my error is ordering, which required an adjustment to the selector wheel--no problem."

"My daughter had trouble keeping a pacifier in her mouth due to tongue and lip ties and the wubbanub was a sanity saver. • 3 star (It’s ok): Product has both positives and negatives, but I’m neutral on whether or not I’ll continue using it. • 4 star (I like it): Item is exactly as described in appearance, functionality, purpose and quality."
"The price is ridiculous so I bought a beanie baby for $3 and made my own by sewing a loop of velcro into it's mouth."

"She likes being able to play with the stuffed animal, but it also soothes her."
"You could probably also throw in the washer machine inside a mesh bag or put it in the dishwasher (clip it secure on top rack) This thing is great, I really recommend having at least one of these if you have a baby."
"It's also great when I need the paci to stay put as he's falling asleep and I can use the legs to prop it against the side of his side sleeper."
"We haven't had it long so maybe he'll get used to it, maybe I'll find a better way to sterilize it than dipping it in boiling water while trying to keep the money face dry, but for now we really don't like it. It would be better if the mouth was velcro or a snap so you could change the paci to one of your choice and clean it easier."

"After reading the many reviews of MANY different style pouches, I bought this style and the LITTLE GREEN POUCH (LGP) version. WHY I NEED THE POUCHES: I have a 12m old (also have a 2 year old that loves pouch-eating) that is a very independent eater and SUPER BIG eater that will scream and refuse to eat unless he is involved with feeding himself. // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // //. 5 LITTLE SPROUTS (5LS).

LITTLE GREEN POUCH (LGP). PROs. • stands up on its own in fridge. • utilizes standard cap, as most reusables seem to. • has larger 7oz size available, while still being shorter than 5LS 5oz size. • no spout spillage from either only because both of my kids have just been sucking and not squeezing so far. For regular meals with my independent 12m old, we normally chop up cooked sweet potatoes, bananas or strawberries for him to feed himself while we stuff a spoonful of broccoli soup, steel cut organic oatmeal, etc. I am not going to feed him every meal with these pouches, just use them for snacks, small meals or when preparing the meal and he's h-angry."
"The front shows their logo, lists the pouch size you ordered/quantity in the package and a summary of important basic facts. I purchased the variety pack which comes with 2-3.4oz, 2-5oz and 2-7oz pouches. Initial thoughts: •the packaging makes you feel "green" •the pouches feel like they are good quality, the plastic feels nice and thick •double zipper for added protection *see through world symbol on the back for contents viewing (see through panel is at the top of the pouch) •max fill line •belongs to panel to write your child's name •freezer safe. •downfall: ~the pouches can not stand upright since the zipper is on the bottom (that was to be expected ~the pouches themselves do not have their size printed on them (I understand that people will put different amounts in them but I had in my head that it would have a "at max fill line contents are X oz" somewhere on the pouch) but not a deal breaker. Filing: double zipper is at the bottom of the pouch. The pouch stands alone upside down with cap on. If you are holding it open do not go up to the fill line; when you let go and the pouch settles your food will be above it. However the lids from my Pumpkin Tree Peter Rabbit pouches fit(orange caps) (I haven't tried other brands yet) so SAVE YOUR OTHER LIDS!"
"Used a breast pump shield as a funnel and filled an applesauce pouch faster than i could've opened one!"
"One word of advice for the user--when re-filling, make sure you check that the bottom is zipped shut, so you don't push allllll that yummy food through it straight onto your floor (lesson learned here)."

I had to scrub the fabric part to get certain foods out and repeatedly rinse and wring to then get the soapy water out. Also, as the fabric part of the OXO bibs dried (hanging up) water would drop down and accumulate in the silicone pocket part, so much so that I'd have to periodically go pour it out as the bibs dried. At one point my daughter's hair grew to the exact length where it was getting caught in the fastener of these bibs quite easily - but that was also a brief stage and happened with the Tommee Tippee bibs as well. He adds that he was initially a bit put off by the silicone "button" type fastener on these bibs, thinking they would be difficult to get closed with his bigger man hands and fingers, but he got the hang of closing these easily and quickly. Incidentally, he does have big hands and gets frustrated w/ certain snaps on our daughter's PJ's - but has no problem whatsoever with the fasteners on these bibs."
"I love that the pocket on the bib stays open to effectively catch any food that she drops while attempting to eat."
"When I received these my first impression was that they were made of a thinner silicon layer, and I was afraid they would not stay in place as nicely and that the pocket would eventually collapse inward."
"We've used lots of bibs over the years, and I do like the waterproof green sprouts bibs for drooling babies, but as far as eating goes these are by far the best."
"My baby is just learning to use his hands to eat and this is the most comfortable bib that I bought for far for him as I can see it in his reaction the first time he wore this."
"My son and his wife received silicone bibs as a gift for their first child, who was a pretty neat eater but the fastener on the back would always pull her hair so I was looking for a different way to fasten the bib onto the child. I love the buttons that easily slip through the slit in the other side to fasten the bib on; it doesn't pull her hair like the other ones did."
