My daughter was having a tough time teething and these drops were recommended to me. When I went to the store I was hesitant because of the price, I think it was over 20$ at Walmart but I wanted relief for my baby and I trusted who recommended it.
I am so glad I decided to purchase them, my daughter calms down and relaxes almost immediately when I give her these drops!! They are also so easy to give her, they come in little viles and you just snap off the top and squeeze the contents in babes mouth - easy.
I have been recommending this to other moms who, like me, were hesitant on the price - totally worth it.

A friend of mine told me about this because her daughter LOVED it and I was on the fence about it because I felt it was a little pricey (I believe it was 49.99$ at babies r us) but she was very convincing so I gave it a try!
I loved the idea of it, the music was soothing and I thought the swimming fish and the peek-a-boo crab was cute but my daughter was too distracted by it to ever fall asleep while it was in her crib! She would stare at it, kick at it, cry at it and would only fall asleep AFTER we took it off. Also, it was very, very hard to get in and out of the crib. It had like 2 “belts?” That you would latch around the crib and ours were so stiff that it made removing it and putting it on difficult. I think If you are able to put it in and leave it alone, that’s not a problem but I kept taking it out and waiting a few days and trying it again ... it just never worked for us. I think maybe the light was a little too bright .. if it was able to dim I think it may have been less distracting.
I did end up giving it to a coworker of mine and she said her son, LOVED IT and he would stare at it until he would fall asleep on his own! So, I think it really depends on the baby!

I started off using the Ivory Baby detergent and it worked well but was getting expensive!! One day while shopping I saw this product and decided to give it a try instead and I am so glad I did!! Not only is it a cheaper price point, it has little to no scent and my babes clothes feel so soft!! It also works great at removing stains, I very, very rarely need to use a stain remover on my daughters clothing and she gets EVERYTHING on her clothes. A lot of her clothes still look brand new, the colours are still vibrant and you cannot see that she has spit up sweet potatoes 1000x. -

I am so happy I was given the chance to try this product for free, I do not think I would have purchased it otherwise! My daughter has sensitive skin and has had reactions to Johnson’s products in the past but they have really improved their formula!! I have been applying this lotion every morning for the past week or so and she has had no reaction at all! Her skin is soft, supple and smells great!! (so do my hands!!) Aside from smelling amazing, this product is also quick absorbing and does not feel oily or greasy at all! I will be purchasing this again for myself and will also be purchasing sets for baby gifts in the future. -

I was lucky to receive this product for free from familyrated or else I likely would not have purchased it myself!
When my daughter was a newborn we used the original Johnson’s but her skin begin to get irritated and red and so I had to switch to something else .. I was using another product for a few months that was way more expensive and so I was excited to receive this and give it a chance.
Firstly, the product smells amazing! It’s a fresh, clean baby smell and my babes hair smells great all day long. It also has a very smooth and soft consistency. I wanted to use it for over a week before reviewing so I could notice if my daughter would react or get any dry patches like she originally did with Johnson’s and she hasnt!! Her skin is so much smoother and more supple - and so are my hands! You also need to use a very small amount of product as it lathers up very nicely!! I will definitely be purchasing this again, it also helps that is is one of the more affordable baby washes on the market!!

I normally purchase Pampers wipes but, I have been struggling a little financially lately (maternity leave is hard!) and so I decided to give these wipes a try. I was hesitant at first but they are actually really good! I honestly see no difference between these wipes and the Pampers. They are moist and smooth, clean up the mess just as well. I will continue to use this brand of wipes from now on.
The only "cheap" part of the wipe was the packaging. The box I purchased them in fell apart while carrying it to the line and then again on my way to the car but that does not affect the quality of the wipe at all.

I usually make all my baby food however, sometimes we get busy or we are travelling/visiting and so I will give my baby these pouches!
They see very quick and convenient, just grab them and go! My daughter is almost 9 months and we have not found a flavor she did not like (yet). She will usually finish an entire pouch in one sitting. I like how you can just squeeze the contents directly onto her spoon and if there is any unused portions, you can just put it in the fridge unlike jars/bowls because it came into contact with her spoon.
They are relatively cheap but when comparing it to making food on your own, it is more expensive to buy the pouches but it wont bankrupt you.

I love Ferrero Rocher but they are a bit expensive compared to other chocolates so these are usually a treat around the holidays. They are great to serve to guests while entertaining and I have also seen them on tables at weddings.
They taste very good with a perfect balance of chocolate and hazelnut. The outer part of the chocolate is perfectly crunchy but then the inner is more smooth, it balances itself out perfectly.

I admit that this was not my first choice for my baby, I actually started with the Johnsons Baby Shampoo/Wash (but only because I got so many at my shower) but my baby began to have a reaction to that product and so I switched to the Cetaphil and WOW - What a difference in my daughters skin!
My daughter had gotten very red and dry from the previous product but after just a few washes with this, it was all cleared up and my baby has had no reactions to this product. The scent is also great, very fresh and "baby" like! I absolutely love smelling my babies hair while holding her because it just smells so clean! It's very soft as well, I have to wash my baby daily and my hands are not dried up at all, my hands are very soft! It also has a great lather and you need just a tiny amount and so, even if it is a little pricier than other washes/shampoo, it is very worth it for me! It also helps that it is a Shampoo and Wash in one! That is very convenient and one less thing to get together for bath time.

I started to use this product on my daughter as soon as she was home from the hospital, I mainly picked this product because I received many of them at my baby shower.
I absolutely loved the scent of it - it has the typical "baby" smell.
It is also very inexpensive and a little it goes a long way, you only need a tiny amount thoroughly wash hair and my babes was born with a decent amount of hair. The shampoo lathers up very nicely and feels very soft, rinses off easily and leaves no residue!
However, after using my daughter started to develop A LOT of redness/dry skin. I thought maybe I was using too much shampoo or maybe washing her hair too much and so I cut back on both but it did not do anything. I ended up switching to a Cetaphil Baby Shampoo, just to give it a try and the redness/dryness did go away after just a few washes. For that reason, I will not continue to use this on my daughter but I still recommend it to others.
I also want to add that my daughter is very fair with some red in her hair (so far, it has not grown enough to really tell) and so I think she is more prone to be more sensitive than some others babies!
