Pros: Compact, Easy To Use, Easy To Clean

Best Uses: Infants

Describe Yourself: First Time Parent

I love this product. I use it everyday to after I clean my baby items. I do not have a dishwasher, so I simply wash my items, steam clean them, and put them on the rack to dry. I love that is spins so I can reach everything easily.
I love that it has different levels that you can change, and/or take off. I would definitly recommend this product to any mom.
It holds lot of bottles and such. Easy to clean, but I haven't had to yet.

Fit: Feels true to size

Pros: Soft, Cute, Easy to put on

Best Uses: Newborns, Infants

Describe Yourself: First Time Parent

I just lOVED this item. It was wonderful for swaddling my newborn. I choose this over the "swaddle me" because it was more versitile. I loved being able to zip her up in it all night and not have to worry about her getting cold. She loved it the first few weeks. We have not used it a lot since it is warmer now. The zipper access makes it easy to change the diapers. Also having arms in our out of the swaddle is great too. My daughter prefered her arms out but it still tight around her body. The only bad thing i have heard about it is the velcro making noise and waking up the baby. I have not had problems, but it is a little loud.

Too Heavy for baby, good for in hospital

Pros: Easy to clean

Cons: Too Big

Best Uses: Pacifying

Describe Yourself: First Time Parent

My daughter used this item when she was first born the first three days in the hospital. The hospitals use these and provide them. I thought they were good since the hospital used them. Turns out they are too heavy for a baby. I think the babies in the hospital do well with them since they are not moving a whole lot when they are 3 days old. They are swaddled tight and just lay there. But after I got my daughter home she seemd to prefer NUK brand. I think these soothies are too heavy for them to keep in their mouth while sucking. They seem very awkward. Plus I think the rubber nipple part is too hard of rubber too.

Not great for me

Cons: Hard to clean, Messy, Leaks

Best Uses: Breastfeeding

Describe Yourself: First Time Parent

So, I have read a lot of the reviews, and a lot of moms loved this item. I didnt for a few reasons. First, they LEAK. I know the purpose is not to absorb leakage, but if I am wearing them throughout the day in between feedings to help with the nipple I am also doing things like bending over to pick up my baby, or sweeping the floors and next thing I know I have a HUGE wet spot where the milk leaked out of the air holes. I thought they drew too much milk out and this is what caused the problem. Also, when i was wearing them they were keeping me too moist and that ended up causing a problem with my nipples for days, they would be raw and hurt. Therefore I stopped using this product. I think they did help for sore nipples since it keeps the nipple from rubbing on your clothing, but that is about all I used them for, which I had to after it caused rawness from too much moisture. Perhaps I was using them too often. But that is my problem.

Great Paci, I would give it a try

Pros: Colorful, Cute, Durable, Comforting

Best Uses: Pacifying, Bedtime

Describe Yourself: First Time Parent

These Avent pacis are pretty good. Leah prefers the NUK brand first, then these. They are light weight enough for her to easily keep in her mouth. I also like how they came in a travel case, but the case is not great as it does not open and shut easily. It is more a pain then a help.

Pros: Treats Irritation, Soothing, Safe, Soft

Best Uses: Diaper Rash, After Bathing, Everyday, Diaper Changes

Describe Yourself: First Time Parent

This is a great buy. I love all the items in the pack. The JOhnson JOhnson shampoo and oil, and powder and lotion is great. Also love the desitin. Sometimes I get $3.00 off coupons for this item too. Check out Johnsons website for the coupon related to this item. Have not used the rubber animal yet, and the crate it comes in is really small for bathroom use, but cute. I am sure i will find a use in the future.
