There are so many products for babies in the marketplace these days. What's necessary and what's useless? I'm still wadding through a sea of countless baby/toddler products! I hope my 4 part series about baby products helped make your shopping process a little easier. In review, here they are again:
Now, on to the final part of our series, 9-12 month items:

Shower hose - The Rinse Ace Deluxe Tub & Shower Rinser could of course be used at any age. Its 8 feet long hose and three pressure settings makes bathing so much easier. It comes with a connector that attaches to your existing shower head. Then just snap on the hose and you are ready to bath your little one.
Sippy Cups - After trying several cups, I have two favorites. Tommee Tippee Lil Sippee Trainer Cup has handles and an easy to use spout. It doesn't leak much, which is great. However, it is difficult to find in stores and it doesn't have measurement markings. The Playtex Lil' Gripper Straw Trainer isn't a traditional sippy cup, it has a straw instead of a spout. But, it makes transitioning to "big girl" cups easier. It has markings in ounces and mL. It is however difficult for baby to get the last ounce out. Can someone please make the perfect sippy cup?

Drum - Usually I wouldn't recommend noisy toys, but this is Rania's favorite! The B. Parum Pum Pum Drum is adorable! It's filled with colorful musical instruments, like maracas and a tambourine. I was afraid my little one would gag herself with the drumsticks, so I put those away. Don't worry, these instruments aren't too loud.
Book - The Wheels on The Bus is an adorable pop-up book based on the popular children's song. Rania loves it and want me to read it over and over. Just be careful that your little one doesn't tear the fragile pop-ups.

We invested in a Fisher Price swing with all the bells and whistles. The moving birds, the 5 speeds for the swing, and the 300 different musical themes seemed excessive but man, that swing has actually let the hubster and I eat dinner together, and helps me get some decent sleep every night :) Definitely worth the investment!
ReplyDeleteLawyer - We got a swing for Rania and she hates it! lol. Glad your little one likes it.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite: The BOON Squirt Baby Food Dispensing Spoon, http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12006422
ReplyDeleteLOVED THIS!! It's cheap but so useful when you are on the go.Sure beats the hell out of messy baby jar foods that spill all over the place in the car! You can fill up this spoon w/ baby food and and feed the baby with one hand while holding the phone, magazine, or hair brush in the other! Only $7.99 :)
Hina - Thanks for the tip! I've seen those in the store and I always wonder if they work. How much do they hold?
ReplyDeleteThe best thing i invested in was a car seat! but not for the seat but for the huge box it came in! Caleb love is he plays for hours in his little cave opening and closing it! i find it amazing that he is completely occupied playing with something so in expensive :)
