Philips AVENT Natural Drinking Cup Helps Your Child Go From Baby to Big Kid-Giveaway

My son is at the age where he is supposed to start learning how to use a cup and I have to say, it has been a struggle. After several sippy cups and some very wet floors (and a very wet baby), I got the Philips AVENT Natural Drinking Cup to test out. Immediately it scored major “Dad Points;” when Chase’s father looked at it for the first time he said, “That is very cool, let’s try it right now!”

Chase tends to think he can drink from any side of his cups or bottles and he gets frustrated when he tries to drink from a random point on the cup and nothing comes out. Now, as long as his Philips AVENT Natural Drinking Cup is facing upright, he can get a drink.

The top is designed with a valve that only allows liquid to escape at the point where it is being pushed down with your baby’s lip, which means the only water that comes out goes straight into your toddler’s mouth. The only spills are what baby spits out, and spill-proof doesn’t get any better than that! [Read more...]

The Best-Selling European MAM Anti-Colic Bottle is Now Available in Canada-Giveaway

Every mom knows that soothing a fussy newborn can be quite a challenge, but for the one in four babies suffering from colic, having the right bottle can make all the difference. The MAM Anti-Colic Bottle quickly became a best-seller when it launched in Europe; it helps reduce baby’s air intake during feedings, decreasing colic symptoms and making it the perfect choice for parents who choose bottles for feedings with breast milk or formula. And now for the first time, the MAM Anti-Colic Bottle is available in Canada!

mam anti-colic bottleI got a package of the new Anti-Colic Bottles from MAM Canada to try and basically, I love everything about them. However I must say that the main reason I love them is because by nature I am a forgetful, sometimes lazy person. I mean… busy. Let’s say I’m busy! I hate having to sanitize bottles and to be honest, it’s done a lot less than it should be because of that. But with the MAM bottles there is no reason to procrastinate. Sanitizing is as easy as it’s going to get; put an ounce of water into the base of the bottle, set the nipple and top bottle component onto the base, screw the bottle on, set the lid on top, and toss into the microwave for 3 minutes. No pots of boiling water that has to be watched, which is perfect for me since I have a bad habit of getting distracted and forgetting about the pot until after the water has boiled away. So for us “busy” moms, put some water in the bottom, put it in the microwave, and forget about it until you need it! The easy sterilizing is definitely my favorite feature. [Read more...]
