Aveeno® Baby Daily Lotion
(also a Johnson's and Johnson's brand) but I much prefer Aveeno's. It has nice light scent. I used it on my baby's skin when it started to become flaky and dry (1 month old). After one use, the flakes went away. I now use this after each wash to... +

I love this Ivory Snow detergent specially for baby clothes. The scent is light and smells soft like a baby. It has the same cleaning power... great for taking out stains such as spit up, messy food stains... and yes even the dreaded #2 diaper stain! I use it for all our little ones clothes. It cost more than your basic Ivory but well worth the price difference. -
Cottonelle Ultra Bathroom Tissue
I usually use Charmins, Scotties and Royal in our house hold. I didn't find that Cottenelle was any softer. (Royal feels the softest to me). HOWEVER the paper does seem thicker than others, so it able to use less squares LOL. Perhaps it's me... +
I usually use Charmins, Scotties and Royal in our house hold. I didn't find that Cottenelle was any softer. (Royal feels the softest to me). HOWEVER the paper does seem thicker than others, so it able to use less squares LOL. Perhaps it's me, but toilet paper is just toilet paper. I just purchase the one one sale. Unless Cottonelle has a good price compared to others, I'm not motivated to buy it. -
Cottonelle Flushable Cleansing Cloths
Not sure I would have paid for this item over toilet paper, but after trying this I'm convinced it's a must have at home. It can't replace toilet paper all the time but I tried this out when it was 30 degrees C outside/ 25 inside, hot and balmy... +
Not sure I would have paid for this item over toilet paper, but after trying this I'm convinced it's a must have at home. It can't replace toilet paper all the time but I tried this out when it was 30 degrees C outside/ 25 inside, hot and balmy. Using this to clean gave me a fresher feeling. Incidentally I had my period at the same time (sorry if too much info) but again a great product to use. I wouldn't use it daily but certainly on a hot day or that time of the month certainly helps to keep clean and fresh. -

I received a few bottles as part of my baby shower. I can't do a very fair review of the product as I haven't used it but will not as the scent is so strong. I won't use something like this for newborn's sensitive skin. Perhaps if they had an unscented one it would be worth a try, but just based on this alone I would not purchase it from a store. -
Medela Breast Pump Freestyle
This is my first and only experience with a breast pump so don't know how to compare but at $449 it's a steep price. It's good, as I do get enough milk to feed babies. But I do spend 20 minutes per pump every 3-4 hours each day, including evening... +
This is my first and only experience with a breast pump so don't know how to compare but at $449 it's a steep price. It's good, as I do get enough milk to feed babies. But I do spend 20 minutes per pump every 3-4 hours each day, including evening. Comes in a black tote bag, which I now use as a diaper bag. This comes with "hands free" attachments to a nursing bra, which I didn't bother reading or trying out (it may only work with Madela's nursing bras). However I found a way to use it while wearing a sports bra and just stretching the bra over top of the "cones" and that keeps it in place, so that my hands are free to text, make phone calls, eat... pretty much anything that can be done while relaxing on the couch. My two complaints is that the tube that connects both pumps is so short, so if you're a wider girl like me, it doesn't provide too much extra length. Secondly it's very noisy, so no way to be discreet while pumping. Unfortunately there's no way of trying this out in the store to see if you like it, so make sure you do your comparisons before buying and using. Once used it can't be returned (see not about Toys R Us). I only bought a top of the line double pump as I have twins and need as much milk as I can get, otherwise I would probably skip the expensive price and go with something cheaper.
FYI - If you're in the market, Toys R Us has a twice a year sale on Madela items at 20% off, so it's all about timing. Toys R Us also offers a coupon (if you register for their baby registry) that with a purchase of Madela Freestyle a $128 value from Madela including storage containers, freezer bags, nursing pads etc. free of charge. TRU also offers a buyers protection plan for $80 something dollars that protects from breaking etc. as well as if the item is no longer of use it can be returned (though I'm not sure how that works) or for how long the plan is for, but maybe worth looking into.

I currently use the newborn size with my 15 day old twins (as of this post). After trying Huggies and Pampers a few times, I prefer Pampers as the size is smaller, more snug and babies have never had any leaks. With regards to the umbilical cord, I just fold the top part of the diaper down, to make sure it doesn't cover babies umbilical stump. -

With the weather getting a bit colder lately I had to pick up a few sticks of lip balm. I was able to pick up a few of the Nivea Lip Care ones one sale at the local pharmacy. Very smooth and applies very well. Not sticky or greasy and doesn't leave a chalky taste like some other ones. Not bad for a cheaper department store brand. -

I use this for my face, and wear it under my make up. It goes on light and dries very quickly. I've had other sunscreen make my foundation streak, but this works well under my ream foundation. I have freckles and every summer seem to get more and more (blame in on the genes) so need good foundation to minimize the sunspots and freckles so use this product almost daily in the daily in the summer. -
