im the type of person that will tell everyone and anyone about something if i like it or believe in it. it must be the salesperson in me
dont run into me at trader joe's or any supermarket for that matter...ive been known to stop people and go on and on about something that taste's sooooo good. go figure, me and food always.
so i finally decided its time to review some products that i am quite pleased with and in some cases NOT so pleased with
i will start off with two and add more over the course of my weeks/months/years as a mother
if you want me to review something specific let me know and if i own it i will tell you my thoughts
if i dont own it ill tell you why and my thoughts
one area we splurged on and many people do now that the technology is available is a:
video baby monitor
Summer Infant Best View Handheld Color Video Monitor with 2.5" Screen
its pricey i confess, we used gift cards, waited for a big sale and the registry completion coupon
it was worth every penny we paid for it and you can find it on amazon for less than $150 right now
i honestly DO NOT know how people can and did live without one (well I can, but now that its available its worth your sanity...or mine at least)
we love it
ours can pan and zoom the room
it has night vision and color day vision
you can add additional cameras
its digital so no creeps can tap into the feed or the audio
it doesn't conflict with Internet and phone
it holds charge fairly long, but we keep it plugged in when we are not using it
we can watch each other feed the baby, change the baby's diaper and/or watch the baby sleep and wiggle and turn counter clockwise in his crib (yes he only moves counter clockwise for some reason)
the screen is fairly bright so we leave it off at night unless he is stirring and then we turn it on to see what is going on
his room is fairly far from ours so this saves us lots of time and energy in the middle of the night and during the day
i love you video monitor.
nail clippers
safety first baby sleep nail clippers
our baby is a wiggle worm and its typically easiest to clip his nails while he is nursing or sleeping
the safety first nail clippers with the light are perfect for our night time feedings
not only is the room dim but the light on the clipper helps you see their tiny little nails
there is also a guard so that you dont clip their skin
totally worth the price for the little light
nail clippers are a must around our house
asher loves to scratch and grab philip's chest hair
asher loves to grab and scratch my nipples
both hurt A LOT
this lovely invention and a trusty emery board make our lives a tiny bit more less painful
upcoming reviews:
stroller travel system - Chicco Cortina KeyFit30
Huggies Pure & Natural Diapers vs any other natural organic biodegradable diaper
boppy vs my breast friend
Vicks Flexible Comfort thermometer
pacifier's
sling vs the ergo
i never even considered a video monitor! and now we don't even use our regular one. :) so glad it works for you though.
