Pampers Kandoo Flushable Toilet Wipes Sensitive Hypoallergenic 400 Wipes Refill Unscented

We will buy the Pampers Kandoo Wipes again because the moistening agents are indeed very gentle, and I don't doubt that they are hypoallergenic. I appreciate that the scent is just barely there. They do not tear in use as one brand did. However, here is some information worth sharing:

They are small. The manufacturer suggests that the wipes are approximately the size of two pieces of toilet paper. The actual size is 6.7" x 4.1", about an inch shorter than the two squares of toilet paper I just pulled off the roll. For us, small is good.

They dry out easily. This is not a problem for us-we just add water periodically.

They are not flushable. However, no "flushable" wipes are flushable. Really. The wonderful man who hauls our septic waste says it's a good thing we don't use many-he has seen some tanks that can't be pumped because of "flushable" wipes. Surely he meant "baby wipes" which are not flushable and don't claim to be. No-he meant "flushable" wipes. Every one of them we had flushed since his last visit was an identifiable 6.7 x 4.1 inch rectangle. (In fact, if you enter the words "flushable wipes, sewage systems" into a search engine you will discover that entire municipalities are struggling with the popularity of "flushable" wipes. Any paper-product that can hold its shape when wet is not flushable.)

Here's what we did: we bought the Janibell Privé, also on Amazon, and a case of the refill bags. It's an automatic sensor open/close, so you don't have to touch anything to throw away a used wipe. You don't have to see the contents of the bag because it's part of a tube you tie off before removing it. We've had ours for seven months and haven't yet noticed any "fragrance" escaping from the Privé, so we are quite pleased.

With those things in mind, this is the brand we will buy again.

it was so nice to find these. I need to re order more.

these are hard to find in my area.

the other sort of wipes make the bottoms itchy and sore in our home.

so have wasted so much $$$ on wipes.

Packaged as shown,

delivered quickly-will order again.!

Similac Advance Early Shield, Formula, Powder, 23.2-Ounces (Pack of 6)

Every baby is different, but for us, Similac is a much better fit than Enfamil. Babies are gassy and formula will give them gas, but there is no blood curdling screaming or writhing in pain with Similac like there was with Enfamil.

I bought this 6 pack for 122.99, and was a good value with prime shipping. This is cheaper than Walmart or Target stores. But recently found Costco is offering a bigger sized individual cans at even better price (81 cents per ounce).

The product is fine but

I was disappointed with the shipment

I ordered six containers of this product & I was shipped about 16 of the sample tins

the formula amount was the same the packaging is annoying

if I order the six containers I expect to receive the same packaging

as what I ordered not sample sizes. These sample size containers are not for resale either

I don't think I will order from amazon for this product again

I had b/g twins and the boy was great at breastfeeding but I had to pump for the girl. She was miserable all the time and cried 24/7. I put her straight on Alimentum (made by Abbott, the makers of Similac) and she did great on Alimentum for 3 months. I wanted to get her onto a regular formula, due to the extremely processed and broken down "hydrolyzed" proteins in Alimentum (creates MSG, look it up). So I changed over to an organic formula that I love and the child was constipated!!! Then I opened up my sample can of Similac Advance and she did beautifully. No constipation, and no more colic. If I try to give her the "generic" form of Similac she gets constipated, Enfamil makes her constipated, and so does Similac Organic, so we have stuck with the blue lid Similac advance.

My breast milk wasn't coming in while we were still in the hospital so my baby came home on this formula until my milk came in. It was easy for him to digest and he thrived on it. He lost a lot of weight in the hospital because my milk wasn't coming in. Being on this formula for a little over a day made him gain enough weight that the pediatrician felt comfortable discharging him to go home.

Now my milk came in but my baby won't breast feed from being bottle fed for so long. After pumping for 3 1/2 months and trying to take care of a developmentally delayed 3 year old with no one to help me I am giving up pumping and my baby will be formula fed again. Needless to say I will be using this formula again since I know it was easy for him to digest and he thrived on it. I highly recommend this product.

edited 8/29/09: When I wrote the comment "good price" the seller on this link was amazon.com and the price was $. It's still excellent formula but with a coupon it's probably cheaper to get from your local store. We also tend to find lots of sales at local stores.

Stork Craft Verona 4-in-1 Fixed Side Convertible Crib

The crib looks exactly like it is described and actually was heavier than I had anticipated which was a good thing. The only thing I regret is that I didn't give enough attention that the cute panels (which is why I bought it) doesn't work well if you're using a bumper in the crib. There was spaces where you cannot tie the bumper tightly to the crib, so that is something that you may want to consider.

Wayfair was the marketplace seller of this product and it was delivered very quick via free standard shipping. The crib was delivered in good condition. When I was assembling the crib two parts did not fit correctly so I modified them slightly to make it possible to put the legs on. Luckily I had access to some woodworking tools and a bit of woodworking experience. The reason I am giving it a five star review is because I contacted Wayfair and told them about the two parts that were not quite cut out properly and they offered to ship new parts for free to correct the problem. Since I had already modified the parts myself they offered alternative solutions to the problem. They were very quick on their response and they fixed the problem. I would have all confidence in ordering from them again because if there was a problem they would help to resolve the issue.

Beyond the slight problem of the legs not fitting the crib is great and pretty sturdy. The color I ordered is black and it looks great. It only took about an hour to assemble the crib for two people (aside from the modification I did).

I love that the design in unique, it seems so sturdy and well-made. Just remember: don't have your spouse/SO assemble in the front room before moving to the bedroom...it won't fit through the door lesson learned!

I absolutely LOVE this crib. It was super easy to assemble by myself and I love the way it looks. The only problem I had was trying to put the bumper on because it wouldn't exactly tie in some places, but I knew that would happen when I bought it. Overall, i'm VERY happy with my purchase :)

Munchkin Fashion Diaper Changer Cover, Colors May Vary

I bought two of these (to rotate for every time it gets dirty). I put it in the washing machine on gentle cycle and then I let it hang dry. I love the comfort it gives my baby, but the elastic already seems to be coming off and I bought it a couple months ago.

Burt's Bees Lip Gloss, 0.2 Ounce

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I love this gloss!

Burt's Bees products have been a hit or miss for me in the past, but this is a definite win! The color is gorgeous (a little darker than what appears in the photo) and works wonderfully on its own, or mixed with another color (I often use this one in conjunction with darker or starker lip colors to neutralize, since my lips are a few shades darker than this gloss.)

I have chronically dry or flaky lips, but this product solves that problem better than many of the chapsticks and balms that I've tried (and this includes some of Burt's Bees lip balms.)

The product is definitely a decent size, and lasts a long time. I'd recommend this to anyone, especially if you're looking for something that can double as a gloss and balm.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Normally I do a nude lip so this shade is perfect for my fair coloring. I have pale mauve lips and this appears almost like a clear gloss. I love that it has a doe foot applicator as opposed to a messy brush applicator that always ends up splaying. This is thicker than other glosses I use and that's a good thing as my other glosses tend to leak out around the threads of the container and that can get messy. The only thing I don't like about the Burt's Bees is the pearlized glitter is too chunky, it needs to be more finely crushed.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Pros: I like the subtle color and the thick creamy texture. It does not run and it seems to dispense just the right amount. Smell/taste is fine, not too strong.

Cons: It is a bit sticky or tacky at first and does not last as long.

I have been using the Buxom Lips and love the texture. It also seems to last a bit longer than the Burt's Bees Lip Gloss.

The Burt's Lip Gloss is nice enough, but I will stick with my Buxom Lip Gloss(I love the tingle).

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I'm kind of agh about this lippy. It's not sticky which is nice at this time of year when your hair gets blown in your face. But neither is it particularly rich feeling and I feel like you get a small amount of product on the applicator with just one dip. The color is another issue. I know it's light but I'm porcelain skinned so I expected the pigment to show up a bit better. I'd like to try it in a much brighter shade since I do like the idea of a natural lip color. You do ingest a fair amount of whatever you coat your lips in so I'd rather it not be all chemically.

Want Burt's Bees Lip Gloss, 0.2 Ounce Discount?

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I admit it: I am a lip gloss addict.I have tons of glosses, usually in this color family. I would put this one somewhere in the middle of the pack, and that's pretty good for the price! Its consistency is medium, maybe somewhere close to that of Bare Escentuals Buxom (but without the plumping/menthol feel). Thinner than Nars (but what isn't?) and thicker than some of the Cliniques I have, which are admittedly older.

It's a very neutral color, but not just sheer or nude. It's got a little bit of a spiced hue on my very pale lips. I think it is similar to Buxom Lola.

Staying power isn't too bad. It lasted for a couple hours.

It's not the king of lip glosses...that goes hands down to Nars...but if you don't want to pay $18-$24 for lip gloss, give this a try.

Fisher-Price Playtime Bouncer

Overall I am thoroughly happy with this bouncer. It has come in handy and is super light. I take it with me from room to room. It provides a safe place for my baby to sit while I shower, do dishes, or other tasks in which I need my hands free. The strap fits my baby perfectly and feel perfectly content that he is sitting safely. For our baby, who has suffered from acid reflux, the incline position is perfect as it allows him to sit up enough to keep the acid down and not choke on spit up, yet it is not too upright. Our baby likes the toys, music, and especially loves the vibration. While the seat is not padded, it is comfortable enough for our little one. It can be removed to be washed if needed or wiped clean. Initial set up was quick and easy.

A few complaints I have about this bouncer is the duration of the music. Once pulled, it plays a short tune that lasts just a few seconds. For my child who is still very young and cannot pull it on his own yet, I wish there was an option to continue playing the tunes for a longer amount of time as he enjoys listening to it, but I have to constantly keep pulling. Also, there are only two songs, so you may grow quite tired of hearing them. My other complaint is the vibrator has suddenly started becoming a little loud. In the beginning it was silent, but now you can hear the motor humming rather loudly. Neither of these are deal breakers, just a couple minor flaws. I would purchase this bouncer again.

Overall very satisfied with this bouncer. The pattern is bright like kids like but not overwhelming like may childrens items tend to be. This can be out without being an eyesore. My child loves to sit in it and it was useful as way to get him to settle down at night without me constantly having to hold and sway with him. The only drawback I found with this bouncer is that my son didn't seem to be too interested in the plastic toys that hung closer to his hands. He is 3 months now and when he hits the toys it upsets him more than interests hims. I actually propped the overhang up so that his legs can kick the hanging toys which he highly enjoys. I wish the overhang was adjustable so that he could kick the toys with his legs when he was in the bouncer. I think then this toy would have been a perfect 10...

The chair itself is very sturdy and perfect incline for what I was looking for. My only complaint is the music is not very loud, not even a little bit close to being long enough and that there is not an off on button for music. My baby likes music but this chair plays for only 5 seconds at a time and then you have to pull the toy again. And as long as a baby is strapped in, they cannot kick themselves up to the top and out of the chair.

I can`t say much about it but my baby would if he could. He just loves it and the best thing about it is the possibility of rocking him along with the calming vibrations. The cover can be washed and it makes it simple in case of wet accidents which are common in the beginning.

My 5 month old has loved this bouncer since she was 3 months old. She didn't care for it before that. She can make the music play by either pushing up on the koala with her foot or pulling down on the leaf with her hand. The monkey rattles. She kicks her feet to make the chair bounce. I like that I can carry her in it from room to room and set her down where ever I'm working. It has a nice wide-based stance for stability. Some feel this is a trip hazard. I have stubbed my toe but in general I avoid the trip hazard by keeping the bouncer out of the walkway and prefer the wide base because my daughter bounces very vigorously and she has never flipped the bouncer over. The two musical tunes are very upbeat and are more likely to envigorate your child rather than soothe her to sleep. If you want your child to sleep in this chair, I recommend removing the play bar. The two animal sounds are a bird chirping and a monkey. They play for 3-5 seconds. The music plays for 20 seconds. I prefer that the sounds are short acting, so that my daughter doesn't become desensitized to them and she has to continue working for what she wants. This keeps her occupied longer. The cloth cover is removable and can be washed in the washing machine for easy clean up. The recline is just right for my acid reflux baby. It travels easily. Make sure you buckle in your child. The features my daughter and I love in this chair (the deep seat and bounciness) can make it hazardous if you do not use the safety features provided. She has on occasion pushed herself to the upper edge of the chair when not buckled in. She didn't topple over the chair which speaks to its stability, but I still keep her buckled in because I'm not interested in finding out if she can fall out of the chair. This is a great item. Just be careful that your baby still gets the floor time she needs. This chair is so comfy and fun that sometimes I forget to make sure she gets her tummy time, too.
