col — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 14:22:33 +0000

The Fisher-Price Little Superstar Sing-Along Stage features a large mirror, 4 spotlights, 5 songs, 2 play modes and a microphone. Your little one can sit or stand in front of it and rock out while stimulating his vision and hearing. He can enjoy mirror play and imitating. He will love the various songs and can even sing himself using the microphone. This is one of my niece’s favorites. It is one of the many wonderful laugh and learn toys from Fisher-Price.

Playtex Baby Create My Own Cup Insulated & Spill-Proof Cup: Turquoise BPA Free Post

col — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 01:34:19 +0000

So, finally many baby companies are upadated their baby products to make them BPA-Free. Hooray! I bought a couple of “fanicer” (more expensive) sippy/trainer cups and liked them at first until they began to leak. I bought this cup for less than $4.00 and in the back of my mind I thought “Hmmm, this is too cheap to be a good sippy cup.” However, this insulated and spill-proof, BPA-free sippy cup is great! I am getting rid of all the others.

You can even add a photo to personalize this cup or your child can create his own picture for his sippy cup. It is insulated, can hold 10 ounces, spill-proof and BPA-Free.

Fisher-Price Amazing Animals Sing & Go Choo-Choo Review

col — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 15:14:16 +0000

This toy won Parent’s Magazine Best Toys of the Year award in 2006. My daughter loves this toy. Your child can learn a lot and have a blast with this one. The Amazing Animals Sing & Go Choo-Choo helps your child develop motor skills, learn about animals and their sounds, introduces them to different textures and sounds. Your child will love the music that is played and the various sound effects. He will learn cause and effect by pushing the button to hear a song and see the train move. The three animals are flexible and even make sounds when you move their limbs.

I have played with this toy during early intervention sessions to work on sensory, cause and effect, identifying animals and their sounds and parallel play. I would recommend this toy to any child between 6 months and 3 years of age. Your child can learn a lot from it and have lots of fun too!

What is BPA?

BPA or Bisphenol-A is a chemical used in some plastics. It is used to make these plastics, durable, clear and hard. It is also found in pesticides fungicides and other products. Heating plastics with BPA is thought to unleash harmful chemicals into liquids and foods. Studies show that BPA can potentially cause hormonal abnormalities, cancers and developmental problems. BPA tends to unleash into liquids and foods after being heated. So, if you are boiling your plastic bottles or putting them in the dishwasher, they will be releasinig this toxin (if it contains BPA).

Baby bottles, pacifiers, teethers and sippy cups are among the many plastics that we as parents see our children use daily! Do not worry. There are many BPA free products out there that you and your family can use. Here is a list of BPA free products.

col — Thu, 08 May 2008 18:09:59 +0000

These are great BPA-Free, 100% natural pacifiers for your little one. What is BPA? Well it is a harmful toxin that releases from the pacifier and into your baby’s precious mouth. It can cause neurological and developmental problems. Why risk that? My daughter made the switch over to BPA-free pacifiers and this is one of them. It is a light orange in color. These pacifiers are made of kautschuk, a pure rubber substance, straight from the rubber tree.
