I had purchased baby leg warmers from Babylegs before and thought they would essentially be a very similar fit. Not so. The Huggalugs I purchased had a cute design and they seemed a little thicker but less stretchy than the Babylegs. However, I was not impressed by all the loose loops and threads inside the leg warmers. There were also a few loose threads on the outside but no big deal I could cut those off. What I do not like at all about these leg warmers is that they do not stay in place at all. The leg warmers continuously sag and go down below her knees, so they provide little warmth and no protection when she is crawling on the hard floors. My 9 month old is small and does not have superchunky thighs, maybe this brand would work for bigger babies or when she is older. I noticed that most leg warmers advertise up to age 6. At that age they become more like lower leg or calf warmers, so keep that in mind when purchasing.Huggalugs Leghuggers or Arm Warmers for Babies, Kids or Adults

I'm very surprised to find these Kirkland Signature diapers listed in Amazon. We use a half dozen or so of them every day on our 3-month-old boy, but we get them at our local Costco Warehouse store. In any case, they're an outstanding product and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. They're well designed, easy to use, extremely absorbant and comfortable to the baby. They fit snugly and provide a good seal so that leakage or spillage around the margins is a relatively rare happening. They cause no apparent irritation.What would we ever do without them? Well, my wife had notions of using washable cloth diapers, perhaps as a way of conserving resources and saving the environment. All those arguments are interesting, but faded under the daily grind of changing diaper after diaper. Her perspective gradually change and now our environmentally friendly cloth diapers sit in a neat pile. After discovering the Kirkland diaper, we're totally sold. This is a great product that is reasonably priced.
Gary PetersonI was given several boxes like these after our twin boys were born. I absolutely love these. After trying many of the other diapers out there (Baby shower gifts) I have come to love these the best. They hold up great on all messes. I find that no diaper can hold everything, but these come extremely close. They fit around their waists tight and comfortably. They are a great value diaper at a great price. I even just exchanged a couple boxes I had left over with the size 3's. Give these a try and you won't be disappointed!

After using several different types of diaper, I have found that these Kirkland diapers are my favorites. I was looking for a chlorine-free diaper that wouldn't irritate my infant's sensitive skin. My daughter seems to be very rash-prone. These diapers are awesome. I buy them at Costco rather than on Amazon, and they are a fantastic bargain. The only time my baby's diaper leaks is if someone is babysitting her and neglects to change her diaper when it's wet. It holds up great overnight and it also neatly contains rather large messes. (We do get the occasional poop explosion, but I think that happens to everyone.) I've noticed that the diapers work even better if you make sure that all of the leg ruffles are neatly flanged out so that they're not stuck inside the diaper. I've also noticed that wet diapers smell like a wet diaper! There is a definite urine smell, which I actually like because it helps me easily determine when to change her. I like that there are no chemical deodorizers, too. These diapers get two thumbs up and I recommend them to all of my friends.Read Best Reviews of Premium Diapers, Size 1-2, up to 15lbs, 234 Diapers Here
We have used the Kirkland Diapers for two children and have been very happy with the quality of the product and value for money. They have a very good capacity and are well guarded against leaks from very small babaies (the 1-2 size is great from 1 month up) all the way into toddlerhood. Our two and a half year old, who is potty trained, uses the size 6 for night-time. She drinks a lot in the evenings so urinates a lot at night...this holds it all.Want Premium Diapers, Size 1-2, up to 15lbs, 234 Diapers Discount?
These diapers fit our daughter wonderfully, and I have only ever had a leak once. That one time is when she slept 12 hours straight. I tried many other diapers, and these are hands down the best. They are also the most cost effective. We buy ours in the store and it's about $15 less than any online listed price.Philips Avent BPA Free Soothie Pacifier, 0-3 Months, 2 Pack, Packaging May Vary

I got one of these at the hospital, and it is the only pacifier my son has ever accepted. Highly recommend you at least try it if you haven't already. It's great, because you can stick your finger in and babies tend to latch onto it better when you do.And they look like a suckerfish, as you can see by looking down the translucent nub. It's entertaining AND useful.
And I totally don't laugh at my child.When my little one was discharged from her stay in the NICU, the NICU nurses threw together a bag for us with all kinds of stuff from their shelves. Included was about 30 of these. I think I'm good to go on pacifiers for the rest of her infanthood.
These little guys are great! We got several other brands of pacifiers at our baby shower, and my daughter rejects anything but these. She's not a huge fan of pacifiers in general, and only wants to take one when she is super, super fussy, or crying while she's waiting to eat. The Soothies are big enough and bold enough in color to find in the middle of the night in the crib, too, which is an extra bonus. They're also really easy to keep clean. I throw mine in the dishwasher. You can also stick your pinky finger in the little hole on the nipple part, and that really seems to be something my daughter likes a lot.
With all that said, the best part of all isn't advertised. These pacifiers are translucent, so when you put it in your baby's mouth, you can see the sucking action. It looks a bit like a lamprey, really. It's absolutely absurd and adorable. I never thought I'd find amusement in watching my kid suck on a pacifier, but it's strangely fascinating, and my husband and I both laugh at it every time. She's our little lamprey.

I ordered this pacifier to use while my baby is in her car seat and swing. While she usually falls asleep after a few minutes of driving she doesn't like being in her car seat and gets really upset. The only thing that soothes her is letting her suck on my pinky but this won't work once Daddy goes back to work and I have to drive when we go out. I was reluctant to give her a pacifier since she is exclusively breastfed and I have heard pacifiers can create problems with latching. So far we have had no problems with her latch and she is calmed by this pacifier in the car or swing. Once she gets a good latch on it, which takes about 30 seconds of holding it for her, she is able to keep it in her mouth until she falls asleep. I don't plan to use this long-term. I know every infant is different but we have had success with this pacifier so far. Please keep in mind I only give it to her when she has a full tummy and needs to suck on something to fall asleep in her swing or car seat. I bought this item in hopes it would work for my 6month old. The newborm Soothies were too flimsy for him now that he has discovered turning the pacifier on it's side to chew on it when he is teething rather than actually suck on it. He absolutely refuses to accept a change in pacifier so I wasn't sure what I was going to do for him. I was scared he would eventually fold the newborn pacifier in half and choke on it when I wasn't looking. Now I dont have a fear of him doing this. The sides of the paci are much more sturdy and work great for a little one who wants to chew on it now and again. It's proven extremely difficult to find this size Soothie however in BLUE because everywehre I look sells it in pink or asks that I let them chose the colors and they dont even know what sex my baby is so I could still end up with a pink pacifier which is just simply annoying. I am 100% satisfied with this purchase and the company selling it through Amazon got it shipped out and to my house in less time than the shipping tracker predicted. It said it would be to my home in a little over a week and I had it within 3 days!! I really hope they get more in stock because I will be the first to order a few more to have as spares!!!!Want Philips Avent BPA Free Soothie Pacifier, 0-3 Months, 2 Pack, Packaging May Vary Discount?
I have a 5 week old and have tried the other pacifiers, but found that my newborn started chewing on my nipples when I breastfed her because the shape of the pacifier and my nipples were not the same.After reading some reviews, I bought the GumDrop Newborn Pacifiers and the Philips AVENT Soothies at the same and had high hopes for both of them, but when I got them, my newborn rejected the GumDrop pacifiers as the base of the pacifier is a harder plastic than the Soothies.
She absolutely loves the Soothies, and the round base around them mimics breastfeeding more closely than the Gumdrops. I have since purchased more Soothies and have one in almost every room in the house. As a result of these great pacifies, she has since stopped chewing on my breast and has a better latch!

I've tried several brands of wipes and have found that Huggies wipes are the largest, thickest and most cloth-like wipes. They have just the right amount of wetness to them also. I like the fragrance free ones because poop and fragrance mixed together still smells like poop.Great product. Although I only use Pampers Diapers, I have found the Huggies wipes to be thicker and gentler on baby's skin.Buy Huggies Natural Care Baby Wipes - 720ct Now

We are Amazon junkies and really wanted to be able to use the subscribe service with wipes. However, when wipes are 6.875 cents a wipe or more here and only 2 cents a wipe for the same product at our local warehouse club, the warehouse club pays for itself when we by one box of 720 wipes for fifteen twenty two instead of forty nine fifty here!I LOVE these wipes. We got them to start with as a baby shower gift and now I don't intend to buy anything else. They aren't strong smelling and they clean well. These aren't all lotiony and slippery like others I have tried. Amazon's price is WAY overpriced go to Sam's they are about $15 there.Pampers Stages Sensitive Wipes- 512 ct.

I have purchased them for my new born and then decided I will try Huggies, which are much less expensive, especially bought at Costco. What a mistake! I am just waiting to use the last of Huggies and will be ordering Pampers Sensitive wipes again. They are much easier to pull out of the wipes warmer and actually stay intact (unlike Huggies that come out in useless pieces). Yes, they are more expensive but actually much more efficient, so at the end it ends up being the same price.The hospital gave me some when I went home from the hospital and I have been using them ever since. They last a long time and I will definitely order them again. I also got them earlier than expected which is a plus.Buy Pampers Stages Sensitive Wipes- 512 ct. Now

I bought these from Amazon because they were cheaper/same price as in store and I didn't have to go pick them up... we've used these wipes since my now 2 year old son was born and they work graeatI have 2 kids, and both kids I have used an assorment of baby wipes, my oldest is 7 my youngest is 8 months and honestly besides the scented wipes, I really haven't noticed a difference in the sensitive and regular wipes. I have about 6 different kinds of wipes in the closest right now and I couldnt' tell you which one is which. They all work perfectly fine with no rashes or issues with our son.Munchkin Warm Glow Wipe Warmer

After searching and reviewing tons on reviews of numerous wipe warmers, I decided on this one to give it a try. Taking notes from previous users, we1)put a paper towel at the bottom and kept it moist.
2)Did not fill it to the very top.
3)and placed the butt cream on top of the lid. It's really nice to have warm cream after the wipes!!!
Our baby is much calmer with the warm wipers(even it's summer time) and less startled with the warm cream as well!
Pros:
1) Good price for keeping the wipers and cream warm!
2) Very convenient that I'm able to disconnect the unit without unplugging the whole thing!
3) Easy to locate unit at night with the night light.
4) did not see any browning or yellowing of wipes (I'm using pampers sensitive wipes), maybe because I don't fill them to the top.
Cons:
1) Wipers are significantly cooler to touch towards the end when it's running low.
2) The night light serves as an easy-to-find the warmer at night purpose only, It's not a "real" night light as some people expected.
Overall I think this is an adequate product with a good price. It is certainly sufficient for our use. Will recommend it to others!This is a great wipes warmer for use with cloth wipes if you are cloth diapering. The wipes are nice and warm and don't dry out. I have seen no rust like one of the other reviews said. Nightlight is also very nice and gives just enough light to see in the middle of the night. I change out the wipes every 3-4 days and have had no problems with mildew.

I actually love this wiper warmer. My little guy was born in January of 2012 and I wanted something to keep the diapers warm that was low maintenance. First a brief warmer history -For my first I use to just run the wipe in warm water this got tidius and old very quickly. For my second I bought a warmer and hated it! I had to fill it so much that the wipes were dripping and if not then it would dry them out!PROS AND CONS
PROS
*Heats from the top (this is also a con...see below) so you get a warm wipe quickly and always warm
*Low Maintenance
*Easy to unplug when leaving for long trips
*Like Clear View section to see how many wipes are left
*Lid Secures nicely
*Rubber around where the wipes dispense, makes it easy to start a refill without hurting your fingers and holds the next one in place really well, grips the wipe so that you can get them out.
CONS
I will give you a few tricks at the end to help with some of the CONS -
*Heats from the top -Dries out the top wipe after long period of no use (Usually over 24 hours)
* Does not hold an entire refill pack of wipes
With this warmer I actually love it as long as you do a few tricks DO NOT FILL IT SO FULL so that the lid smashes down the wipes this means that you probably will not fit the entire refill pack in your warmer. I do one of two things with the extra wipes -
1 add them to my diaper bag wipes or
2 put them in a ziploc baggie to save for later use.
UNPLUG IT if you are going to be gone for a while you should unplug it so that it does not dry out your wipes while you are gone.
WIPE IT DOWN when your wipes run out just do a quick wipe down with a paper towel of the inside I usually only do this once a month put I know others who do it every time they run out of wipes so they do not forget.
ADD A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER if you add a SMALL amount of water it will go a LONG way. I usually add about 1/4 of cup water. I do not pour it all on the wipes themselves just a little on the top and them the rest on the bottom of the warmer on both sides of the wipes. I usually know I need a little more water when it no longer condensates on the small blue lid of the warmer, so when I lift it up it makes a small little drop of water in the grooves.
I hope this makes sense and that you find it helpful THANKS!

This keeps our cloth (terry, flannel) wipes at a fairly warm temp, though not as warm as we'd like. That said, it does the job and keeps us from needing to stand at the bathroom sink waiting for the water to warm up at 3am.Our only complaint is the lack of an on/off switch. The only solution is unplugging the device.We have used this for over a year with cloth wipes and our own homemade solution. It does the job. We have never had a problem with rust, although if we are not careful and put too much liquid in, it leaks out through the plastic window in front.

The packaging was inadequate. It showed up broken in half. Granted I did order a piece of hollow ceramic, but there was not much bubble wrap.Bank is very cute but when it arrived its ear was chipped. Its not worth the hassle of trying to return it so i just kept the item as-is. Not sure where the break happened but shipper should ensure they package better so these issues dont happen as if this was a gift i would have been very upset. As long as your item does not come chipped its a great item!Buy Kikkerland Owl Coin Bank Now
Cute little bank, good alternative to standard piggy style. I wish there was one with a bit more color, but all in all it is perfect for my little girl and she is super excited to have her own bank.Good quality, attractive, and gender neutral. We got it for my two year old for Christmas and he love it.This bank is a more sophisticated take on the piggy bank, holds a lot of change, and is quite sturdy, so I am not worried about it breaking.
