Comotomo bottles are a game changer. I have to formula feed my baby and was on a quest to find the best bottle. You name it, I've tried it. My daughter has always been gassy. So naturally, I started with Dr. Brown's standard bottles. They are good bottles, and they did somewhat help her gas. But she was still occasionally having issues and Dr. Brown's bottles are a real pain to clean. After a lot of trial and error, and research, I decided to go with Comotomo. I wish I had made the switch earlier. I love these bottles!
My baby's issue with gas is now almost nonexistent. Yes, they may be a little higher priced compared to other brands, but they are worth every penny. I've been using these bottles for 6 months, and I love them more everyday.
PROS:
.Bottle mimics the milk let-down during breastfeeding. If you squeeze/massage bottle milk will gently flow out of nipple.
.Made of 100% Food Grade Silicone. Much safer than plastic bottles. Colored rim is plastic, but does not touch milk.
.Bottles have not turned yellow from warming/sterilizing.
.Dual air vents on nipple work wonders for gassy babies.
.Slow Flow nipples do not drip milk when turned upside down.
.Modern & attractive bottle. Best looking out there.
.Soft silicone and round shape make it easier for baby to learn to hold bottle.
.No leaks whatsoever. Just make sure that you screw the nipple ring on tightly.
.VERY easy to clean. Such a plus!
.Dries faster than standard plastic bottles.
.Nipples do not collapse as baby drinks.
.Easy for baby to latch onto. Wide nipple prevents "bottle-mouth".
.Smells do not seep into silicone. Old milk can be a nightmare in plastic bottles.
.Durable.
.Both 5oz and 8oz bottles fit into The First Years Bottle Warmer.
.Great price point.
CONS (a few things to be aware of):
.These bottles take longer to warm milk in bottle warmers. Almost twice as long in our First Years warmer (about 8 minutes/5oz).
.Tight fit in diaper bag pockets designed for standard bottles. They will fit, it's just tight.
.Medium Flow nipples drip milk (from the milk holes) if turned upside down.
If you're debating these bottles, don't! Just try them out. They are the best on the market. No other bottle compares. The nipple on Comotomo's bottle is amazing and really sets this bottle apart from the others. I've attached photos comparing the nipple to Tommee Tippee wide mouth nipples. As you can see, Comotomo truly has a wide mouth nipple. Just like the breast.

I wasn't so sure about this one because it seemed so simple but my daughter absolutely loves it. Out of everything she got for Christmas, this inexpensive felt sandwich set is the thing she uses most often. She plays with this all the time. She loves her play kitchen and this set has become an integral part of her chef routine. We could have saved ourselves a bunch of $$ and bought more stuff like this.
You get a lot more with this set than it would appear in the picture. Basically it consists of various colored pieces of felt cut into shapes that look like food. You get a few different kinds of bread, bacon, onion, cucumbers, Swiss cheese, an egg, lettuce, some splats meant to be condiments and some other oval cut outs that look like Bologna or provolone cheese or whatever you want them to be :)
All in all she much prefers this felt set to the plastic play food that came with her kitchen. This is much more imaginative as she can combine the different ingredients in any way she chooses.

My son was getting really bad diaper rashes from another diaper brand. Even after constantly changing him, we realized it was from teething and thought there was nothing we could do. I came across honest diapers that were on sale and had the CUTEST designs and bought 4 packs of 19 I think. Some had little pandas on them and others had astronauts and even little skulls! I simply bought because of the patterns but learned soon after, that these were a game changer and his rashes had disappeared! The organic nature must keep him dryer than the other brand. I love these diapers and I am now I loyal customer! Definitely recommend to everyone! They have the cutest designs, like countless amounts! -

I got this for my son for his first Christmas. He barely played with any toys at the time but this was a game changer. This toy is not annoying to me like most baby toys. It sings songs and dances, but rarely repeats itself and has fun games and interactive features, such as one which you speak when it turns red and it says back what you said in song and dance. My son was only 8 months and started to stand and dance to this thing. He danced for the first time ever to the beatbo! I will always love beatbo! It’s the only toy I will replace the batteries as soon as they die! They last long, too! -

My step daughter ADORES these things. They are little dolls. They aren’t like any other doll. They come in a ball and you unwrap them and find surprises. You don’t know who you get until you open all the surprises and the doll is finally inside. They stand out from other dolls because the themes are so cute. Some look like celebrities and fictional characters such as twiggy or lady Gaga. They have funny names and you can see if you got a common, or rare doll that is indicated on a piece of paper inside the ball the doll comes in. The price is around 10 per ball which I think is reasonable. I think I enjoy collecting them just as much as my step daughter. I recommend to anyone with kids ages 3-33! -
