Baby Star Blanket
When I received the baby blanket, the first thing that grabbed my attention was how soft it was. I LOVED the star pillow also. I have been using the blanket since my daughter was born on July 12th of this year and I have washed it many times (it is her favorite), and it has not fallen apart like a lot of her other blankets have. I also love the fact that it doesn’t have the tiny particles that can get caught in her mouth. It is the perfect size to swaddle her in and also perfect to drape over her on drafty days in the swing. She sleeps with it every night and I look forward to having her keep it for a long time. LOVE it!!!

Dr. Bobby Handwash
I have finally found a product that my son is happy using and I am happy with him using it! Up until now, we have been using bar soap for him to wash his hands, and may I just say what a mess!! With the Dr. Bobby Handwash, he just has to pump once, rub and rinse. It is SO easy to use, he is doing it himself. I also love the fact that he can use it without my supervision. I told him just to pump once and that’s all he’d need and he is doing it so well. The fact that there is no artificial coloring or fragrance is also great because my son has sensitive skin. Great product!!
Price: $14
Website: www.drbobby.com
Age range: All ages
Pros: Ease of use, nothing artificial, kid friendly
Cons: None
Ease of Use: SUPER easy to use
Packaging: Durable
Durability: Kid friendly, not easy to open the top, which is good

Baby Legs
When I first received the package I was really excited. My 7 month old son is just learning to crawl so I thought these would be perfect especially since we do not have carpet in our home. As soon as you open the package you can feel the softness. When I had first put them on him I thought of the movie Flash Dance. I thought that he would be slipping all over the place, but he didn’t. He is actually trying to move a lot more now since using Baby Legs. I experienced no shrinkage after washing so that was a plus. I read the package card that came with the Baby Legs and it says that they can be used as arm warmers which is cool as well.
I definitely recommend these to anyone who has kids, and will buy some myself to give as gifts.
Price: $12.00-$20.00, $36.00 for the gift set
Website: www.babylegs.net
Age range: One size fits most,Their standard size 33cm fits most, from newborn to size 10. There are also styles up to 40cm long. Any style other than 33cm has the size noted in the Online Shop. The new Organic BabyLegs are best for newborn to 4 year olds.
Pros: Very soft and comfortable, and can be used as arm warmers.
Cons: Sometimes the top of the leg would roll down.
Ease of Use: Very Easy
Packaging: Clear plastic so that you can see what you ordered.
Durability: Very Durable
Would you recommend to friends? Definitely

Bunny & Bee Thermal Shirt
This is by far one of the hippest, coolest shirts for little boys I have ever seen! This thermal long-sleeve shirt is from the “Little Thieves” collection by Bunny & Bee. The unique dog bone design was an immediate attention grabber—people couldn’t get over how stylish and fun it was!
The shirt is made from quality material that retains its comfortable shape—especially around the all important neck area. The sleeves have a generous length and stay put without creepy up–even during lots of busy play and activity. And it was substantial enough to wear without a jacket on a breezy day, but lightweight enough not to cause overheating. I was amazed at how fresh and neat my son, Isaiah, looked in his new shirt.
Little Thieves totally “stole” my heart!
Price: $34.00
Website: http://bunnyandbee.com/
Age range: infant, toddler
Pros: stylish design, quality material, comfortable fit, flattering shape
Cons: none
Ease of Use: easy wear
Packaging: clear and neat
Durability: could easily be passed on to the next child
Would you recommend to friends? sure!

Dribbly Dudes Bandanna Bibs
My son has always been a heavy “dribbler”. He wears a bib most of the time. But regular bibs tend to be flimsy, unattractive, and uncomfortable. I would have to change his bibs frequently or his clothes would end up wet or stained.
All that has changed with the Dribbly-Dudes bandanna bibs!
They arrived individually wrapped in lovely organza gift bags. I kept looking for a Velcro attachment on the back of the bibs, but then I realized without them, I can give my son a much better custom fit. They have a terry-cloth back that does a wonderful job of absorbing not just dribble, but food and drink spills as well.
And the designs always lend themselves to compliment any outfit my son is wearing. We are constantly getting positive comments from admiring strangers. I’ve even passed along the Dribbly-Dudes business card to other interested moms and my son’s speech pathologist who wanted more information to pass on to her other clients.
Having a child with special needs is definitely challenging, but these bibs have made mealtime and every day wear less of a hassle. These Dribbly-Dudes bandanna bibs are great for a baby or toddler, with or without special needs. They work wonderfully and are seriously stylish too!
Price: 5 British pounds to 6.50 British pounds each (around $10-$12 each)
Website: www.dribbly-dudes.co.uk
Age range: baby, toddler, special needs children
Pros: They are just what I had been looking for! They offer outstanding coverage and clothes protection, provide a custom fit, and come in so many wonderful colors and styles to compliment any outfit.
Cons: the always changing pound to dollar conversion rate–but the website is currently featuring a free shipping promotion on 3 or more bibs!
Ease of Use: They are very easy to secure and adjust.
Packaging: Very pretty. It was like I was receiving a gift!
Durability: They hold up well through numerous washings.
Would you recommend to friends?: Yes!

Cute Baby Shoes
My daughter (22 months old) has been wearing Cute Baby Shoes since she took her first wobbly steps. Our pediatrician recommended soft-soled shoes as the best option for babies and toddlers so I did some research and chose Cute Baby Shoes after falling in love with their designs. The reasonable price was an added bonus. Eight pairs of CBS’ later, we are still huge fans of the shoes. Why so many pairs? Certainly not because they wore out in any way. On the contrary, the shoes have proven to be well-constructed and durable no matter how much running, jumping, dancing or toe dragging my little dynamo does in them. A washcloth and a little warm water clean off any spots and they look as good as new after she wears them in the grass or dirt. I worried about her wearing them outside at first but I quickly learned that her feet are as well protected on the playground as her older brother’s are in his sneakers. I have also found that she is actually less likely to trip than he is in his clunky shoes.
When I ask Natalie to get her shoes, she goes to her closet and invariably brings me a pair of her CBS’ rather than the few hard soled shoes she owns. This is the best testimony for Cute Baby Shoes because regardless of how attractive they are, if they did not feel good, she would refuse to wear them and her comfort and safety are my most important concerns.
Price: $24.95
Website:CuteBabyShoes.com
Age range: Newborn-toddler
Pros: Buttery-soft leather, padded soles, gentle ankle elastic & cute designs
Cons: None
Ease of Use: Simple…she can put them on and leaves them on
Packaging: Attractive drawstring organza bag
