Closer to Nature Orthodontic Pacifiers

Both of the girls were very picky on what pacifier they used.  We had a bunch of them laying around

pictures provided by tommee tippee.

that they did not like.  Tommee tippee was one that my youngest preferred. tommee tippee is announcing its new pacifier that is now available at Target, Babies R Us, and Buy Buy Baby. The new Pacifier set sells for about $6.99. The new pacifier has some great new features that I know my girls would have loved.
The new pacifiers are similar to tommee tippee's signature bottle line and use a nipple that is similar to the Mother's breast. They are specially designed for baby acceptance from the first attempt. They feature a symmetrical orthodontic shape and a traditional shield style with fun modern designs.  tommee tippee pacifiers are made from BPA and phthalate-free silicone. They are available in three sizes 0-3 months, 0-6 months an 6-18 months. The pacifiers come in both boy and girl colors and re dishwasher/sterilizer safe.

I received both a boy color and a girl color, I love the different sizes my girls used to gag on the pacifier if they were too big.  They are equally adorable I love how soft the nipple is it feels softer than some of the ones he girls had. The curved shape would fit baby's face comfortably and I love that the ring lays flat so that its not bulky.

Disclaimer: I received a couple sets of Pacifiers from tommee tippee free of charge in order to test this product for the review. All opinions are my own or that of my Kids

Silicone is Non toxic hypo allergenic and does not promote the growth of bacteria or fungus. It is also BPA Free and guess what you can Recycle silicone, silicone is durable and has a great life span so you wont have to worry about getting recycling it any time soon but when your SiliKids product finally does need replacing you can send it back to SiliKids and they will recycle it for you.

I got the SiliKids 6oz cup with green skin last week and we have been using it like crazy. The size is perfect for Kids, Its just big enough for my 4 year old but not so big that my 2 year old has trouble using it. The glass is beautiful and clear and very solid Yup its been dropped on the hard wood floor more than once and it held up well the silicone skin absorbs the impact. The Company even states on there site that "We can drop a glass baby bottle from a 4 story building without it breaking! That's why the patent pending Siliskin is the best around! "  Super Cool Right considering kids and babys throw and drop things constantly.  The Skin fits tight to the 6oz cup but I like it that way because it keeps it from slipping off. The Skin has gripper bumps on the sides as well as some decorative holes. It looks "Super Cool" according to my daughter although she wanted purple.  The Gripper bumps work well and keep little hands from sliding around on the cup. I love the soft feel of the Silicone Skin.

Washing is great very easy the skins come off the cup and are Dishwasher and microwave safe. So you can just toss the skin and the glass in the dishwasher and go.

If I had a baby I would be using siliskin baby bottles and considering how durable they are we might even be getting some more SiliKids Cups soon.

Bumbo Baby seat

Picture is from the walmart website

today's review is the Bumbo baby seat.

The Bumbo is a seat designed for small baby's who can not yet sit up on there own. It providees them with proper support and alignment.  The Bumbo can be found at most stores that carry baby products. this is the original bumbo site http://www.bumbo.org/index.php?nav=products&view=1 they run about $44.00 at walmart and that includes the tray.

We have had our bumbo for several years now the coating has woren down some where there legs sit. But you have to know this has gone thought 6 kids counting mine and my sisters kids.  It has been a well loved seat.  It has done its job well My daughters were able to sit up in it at about 3 months and we used it tell they were about 8-9 months when they both learned to twist side ways and pop them selves out of the seat. The tray was very handy for small gerber puffs and diced veggies it was also a great play place to put toys for them to play and kept them in the seat a bit longer once they learned to pop them selves out of it. 

I hope you enjoyed my review and found it helpful if you have any questions please feel free to ask

There was a recall on them a couple years a go it was for the addition of a sticker warning parents to put the bumbo on the floor. Aparently there were a few parents who didnt use commen sence and placed it on tables chairs coutches etc with baby in it and they fell off and babys got hurt. There was never actually anthing wrong with the seat. Just be smart and think when you use it and youll be fine.

Over all its a great seat for small babies my girls loved it I would recomend it. The only down side to the Bumbo baby seat is its a bit on the pricy side.
