Bibs are an integral part of every baby and toddler’s wardrobe. Since babies wear bibs nearly all day long it’s necessary to find a bib that’s safe, works well and is cute. And, guess what? We’ve found THAT bib!

Big Bellies Bibs is the solution! Their bibs are safe (made in the USA), machine washable and come in a variety of designs. I’ve never seen so many adorable designs before.

We were recently given the chance to review a few products from the new Baby Jamz toy line created by Mathew and Solange Knowles,the father and sister of Beyonce Knowles. These products have come about just in time for Christmas for the tiny hip-hop lovers in your family.
The Baby Jamz Boom Box Shape Sorter Toy was our favorite out of all three toys that we got to sample. It is simple, sturdy, and an engaging musical toy for babies under 2. The shape sorter plays 3 nursery rhyme songs by Solange Knowles with a hip-hop twist. The songs included are Hip Hop Buckle My Shoe, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and The Wheels On The Bus.

For some reason I just can’t get used to these songs and I will say that I think many parents will find them irritating while others will probably welcome the change from the ordinary nursery rhymes.
The product states that the toy is for 6 to 36 months but I think it’s a little oversimplified for kids over age 2. While our son did enjoy this toy and I liked it as well, I noticed he got bored of it very quickly possibly due to the toy only having 3 shapes and limited capabilities.

Overall this is a good buy for kids who are into music at a very young age. However, like I stated above, if you have a child 2 or older I would not recommend this toy. Maybe try the dance mat instead.

These toys are sold exclusively at wal-mart.

Looking for the perfect baby gift?

I’ve found it: The Gigi Blanki.

Handmade from rich, tactile fabrics, these custom-designed baby blankets measure approximately 14 by 20 inches – just the right size for tiny hands and easy tranport. It fits right into a diaper bag or purse and can be carried by a little one without tripping them up.

I pulled mine from the mailbox on my way to a play date. As our three-year olds played, my friend and I opened the delicately wrapped package to find the blanki tied with a matching silk bow. We passed it back and forth, running our fingers over the fabric, “How chic!”

“I’ve never seen anything quite like this. It’s so soft.”

“It’s trendy, too. Wouldn’t this make a great gift?”

“I’d like to have one for me.”

“Hey, it matches your diaper bag!”

It didn’t remain in our hands for long, though. Once ten-month-old baby Ella grabbed a hold of it, the blanki was hers. She touched the soft satin and chewed on the nubby side. She has yet to give up her new lovey.

I give this product four very enthusiastic thumbs up. The Gigi Blanki is an absolutely adorable item the little one in your life will love.

Giving yucky tasting medicine to babies is hard work even if the medicine is flavored. I’m happy to report that I have tried a new product called ReliaDose that essentially takes this problem away from new parents. ReliaDose is a bottle-feeding medicine delivery system for babies 0 to 18 months. Basically, it is a syringe surrounded by a bottle that allows for accurate dosing as well as taste masking.

After testing out the ReliaDose I have to say that I really wish I had one of these when my boys were babies. Back when my boys were babies I just put medicine in their bottles or cups to mask the taste and you never really knew whether or not they were getting all the medicine they needed so ReliaDose is perfect for the new mom! We give this product a 4 thumbs up!
ReliaDose can be use for over the counter medicines, prescription medicines, and liquid vitamins+minerals. ReliaDose costs around $8.99-$11.99 depending on where you buy it at. ReliaDose is available at Kroger, CVS, Ralphs and other similar stores.

Siente: Night Songs from Around the World, a collection by classical guitarist Hilary Field and vocalist Patrice O’Neill arrived on my doorstep at the perfect time. It came the day my family and I were leaving on a road trip. We had planned our departure to coincide with our toddler’s bedtime so she would, hopefully, sleep for the majority of the three hour car ride. We settled into the car, popped in the cd and by the third track, little eyes were growing heavy.

“Mom, this music is making me sleepy” was heard from the back seat and then, slumbering silence.

Once our child is asleep, we usually shut the children’s music off. This time, we let it play. This music wasn’t patronizing or annoying. It was absolutely beautiful, proving that these lullabies aren’t meant only for children, but for grownups, too.

Siente, with it’s warm, soothing vocals and rich instrumentation, will take you on a musical journey around the world with gentle songs from Russian, Spanish, Indonesian, Guatemalan, Italian, French, Sephardic and other traditions, sung in their native language and English. Song lyrics are included in the cd insert booklet along with original artwork created by Patrice O’Neill. The artwork is a tender touch that I especially enjoyed. Yellow Tail Records is planning to release a companion storybook/art book to the Siente compact disc.

Now, here is your chance to make this cd yours!
