Bumkins Bibs

admin2104 Views 2 Comments min read

After three kids and countless messy meals I have come to the conclusion time and time again that the absolute best bib in the world is that made by bumkins.  I have received many other bibs as gifts, and cute as they were, they could not stand up to the bumkins bibs.  These bibs fasten with velcro, so you’ll never accidentally snap your baby’s hair or neck fold.  What- you’ve never done that?  Yea, me neither…  They come in a variety of sizes, so your baby/child’s front is always covered.  I have found that the super bibs do a great job of covering my kids from six months on.  They have a pocket that catches virtually all spilled and dropped food.  I like to empty the pocket back onto the high chair tray when my baby is finished eating.  We call this “seconds!”  The material is waterproof, so the bibs can be washed in the sink and rung out to dry, or put straight into the washing machine.  The material is BPA, PVC, phthalates, and lead free.  What makes these bibs superb to other pocket bibs, is how soft and flexible they are.  They lay across the baby’s front and

Cheap Pregnancy and Ovulation Tests Available in Israel — FREE SHIPPING!

Sarah1068 Views 0 Comments min read

By: Anonymous Guest Does anyone remember what everyone was saying during the 90’s dot com boom? They predicted that in a few years, we’ll all be buying everything online and that brick-and-mortar stores will all go out of business. Did that actually happen? Yeah… no. I am always on the lookout for online deals… to save time, to save money… but mostly to save on the aggravation of pushing a stroller through a crowded store with kvetchy little children in tow. My kids are actually great and they know how to behave in a mall, but if I can do my shopping in pajamas after my kids are in bed, all the better.When I find new online deals, I’m excited… it’s even more exciting when it’s something I actually use. What’s my new favorite site? www.pregnancytestsisrael.com. I have to admit that I am a pregnancy test addict. I love peeing on those little sticks and waiting for those lines to appear. It’s fun. So yes, when I crave Ben&Jerry’s or feel a little queasy or cry at a silly tv commercial, my first thought is ‘Oh gosh… maybe I’m pregnant!’. You can imagine how happy I was to find an

Melissa & Doug Child-Safe Scissor Set: The Real Deal

Sarah1036 Views 0 Comments min read

I’m sure I’ve mentioned somewhere on this site that we have an amateur paper-cutter on our hands. Hila (almost 3-years-old) wakes up in the morning and heads straight to her scissors, and more often than not, her scissors are the last thing she puts down before going to bed. (The little bits of paper all over the living room were part of the inspiration for my post on play yards — the spacious, playpen alternative for the modern family.) The Best Scissors for Your Tot! If you’re looking for a safe and reliable pair of scissors (or two pairs) for your child, then I highly recommend Melissa & Doug’s Child-Safe Scissor Set. The set comes with one pair of straight-edged scissors and one pair of zig zag-cut scissors. They will work for righties or lefties, and are metal-free (i.e. no sharp blade), which means they won’t cut clothing or hair or skin. They come in a convenient pouch for storage. Note: Because these are all-plastic scissors, your child may have trouble cutting construction paper or any other type of thick paper. These are best used on regular printer paper, magazine paper, or newspapers.

In Search for a Safe Play Yard

Sarah1268 Views 0 Comments , min read

I don’t like the idea of placing baby in a Pack ‘n Play for play time; the area is so small and confining and so sleep-like, that it just doesn’t seem very nice. Let’s face it — playpens are sooo last century. With our first child, I didn’t really see the point of a play yard; everything on the floor or on the bottom shelves of bookcases were age-appropriate and safe. But Baby #2 lives in a big kid’s world now. The floor is littered with Legos, markers, rocks and leaves, and teeny tiny pieces of paper (oh, how Hila loves cutting!). An exersaucer is one idea, but for a very active 6-month-old, it gets old after a few minutes. This is a baby who likes to explore every inch of the floor. And that’s another point — baby’s put in a Pack ‘n Play for play time don’t get that very important developmental floor time. You can’t learn to crawl in a padded crib. You don’t get the experience of exploration when you’re surrounded by four walls in a small space. The following “play yards” or “playards”) enable you to put your baby (or even toddler) down on the

Okkatots Baby Carrier System: The Word “System” Should Clue You In

Sarah997 Views 0 Comments min read

Okkatots Baby Carrier I was excited to buy the Okkatots Baby Carrier System because I loved the idea of the removable pouch. I liked that you could remove your baby from the carrier without taking off the entire thing, making it easy to wear/un-wear the baby with minimum hassle. But then, after getting it, I realized: There are lots of carriers that allow you to take the baby out without taking off the whole carrier (like most stretchy wraps). And with a lot fewer clips and hassle. The Okkatots “Pouch” And here’s where I get to my main point (and my main complaint): Talk about a “system”! With the addition of the optional hip belt, there were a total of ELEVEN clips on this carrier. ELEVEN! It took forever to get the whole thing assembled, and if you wanted to take the baby/pouch off, you’d have to unbuckle SIX clips in hard-to-reach places (like under the baby’s thighs, very close to your body) in an order that didn’t really make sense. There is one very important pro, though, that I must mention: The Okkatots carrier is COMFORTABLE. There is nice thick (but not bulky) padding on both the parent part

Top 10 Ways to Make Life Easier With a New Baby!

admin1067 Views 1 Comment min read

This post is dedicated to all my friends with new babies — Mazal Tov, and those who are expecting them — B’shaa Tova! Here’s my top ten ways to make your life easier with a new baby. Enjoy, and feel free to add your own! 1. Use disposables.No, it’s not environmentally friendly, but this has to be my number 1 tip for making life easier with a new baby. This tip applies for first time parents, and possibly even more so for those who’ve forgotten the first time round and are willing to do it again. No, you will not have time to wash up. You won’t even have time to load the dishwasher, and it’s unfair to leave than mountain of dirty dishes in the sink for Mr BTWDN (Mr Baby Things We Don’t Need) to do when he gets home from work. 2.  Get cleaning help.More environmentally friendly than tip number 1, but unfortunately also more expensive, a cleaner, or your mum if she lives nearby and is able and willing, will change your lives in those first few sleep deprived weeks from living in a hovel to living in a place suitable for all the new baby
