Fresh Food Is Better for Baby. Let Munchkin Help.

I bought the Munchkin Fresh Food Feeder a couple months ago to try out on my baby boy and I finally broke it out of the packaging this week. What a success--he absolutely loved it! 
          

Now, I wont lie, it was a little gross watching the soft banana ooze out of the net but it was so satisfying watching my little guy enjoy fresh foods. It took him all of 5 seconds to figure out that there was food in the "pacifier" before he latched on and got to business! (My boy is already a fat kid at heart! He loves food) I'm going to try to put some mango or melon in the net and see how that works out (it works great with super soft fruits & veggies). 

The one down-side to this product is that it's a little bit of a hassle to clean. The banana that was left in the netting was gooey and hard to get out of the stitching that holds the net together. It took me about 5 minutes to clean by hand (I could tell as soon as I opened the feeder and glanced inside that a spin through the dish washer would not do the trick.) Five minutes as a mom with an infant is too long to spend cleaning one item...I will, however, be sucking it up and dealing with having to clean it because it is such a great little product from every other angle. 

You can find this little feeder at CVS, Walgreens, Target, Babies"R"Us, etc and will only run you about $8.00. Happy Feeding!

DIRTY DIAPERS CLEAN UP NICELY! (THANKS TO THE DIAPER PAIL)

Ok moms and dads, this product is awesome; bottom line. The Munchkin Diaper Pail is the easiest diaper disposal system I have come across ( & I have tied a few!) It comes out of the box ready to use and once the diaper bag is full, the plastic top on the bag snaps shut and is ready to throw away ( shown in the picture below.)

 Also, the Munchkin crew decided to team up with Arm&Hammer (what a combo!) which keeps the stink of dirty, dirty diapers at bay. I don't know about your child but my son's diapers smell like he released a deadly gas; once I stick the diaper in the Diaper Pail, the smell is long forgotten!

Now, I've never actually counted how many diapers fit in each bag (I mean, what mom has time do such a thing, right? During a diaper change, I'm more interested in dodging the pee my son decides to let loose once I open his diaper!)but the box of Diaper Pail refill bags says that it holds 50...I'd say that is about right; it takes me about 5-6 days to fill one bag up in my house.

I would usually end with a 'Pros and Cons' section but I actually have nothing negative to say about this product. I am completely satisfied with the durability, size, ease of use and execution...It's pretty amazing. 

I bought mine at Target but I have also seen it Walmart and CVS! If you are an expecting mom, buy this system from the start. If you already have your baby at home and are using another system (and you aren't completely satisfied ), I dare you to try this system out. I'm willing to bet you will fall in love with the Diaper Pail!!!

MUNCHKIN LOVE: THE SHAMPOO RINSER

This is really just a peace-of-mind product, moms and dads. But, let's face it, a little peace-of-mind with a little person in the household is a BIG thing!

This is the shampoo rinser from a brand called Munchkin (get use to that name because I love them and I'd bet, after using a couple of their products, you will too!) It is made out of a soft, flexible material with an easy-grip handle. No more anxiety about dropping that hard plastic cup you're dangling over your child's head while rinsing his/her body during bath time!

I bought my shampoo rinser from Target but you can find a retailer on the Munchkin website here!

As the Munchkin product family would say, 'It's the little things.'

MUNCHKIN STANDARD WIPE WARMER ROCKS

I learned very early that RJ did NOT like to be cold. He would stage the grandest protest to all things that caused his skin to become cool or his body temperature to drop. 

^^No one wants to see this kid mad! ^^

Anyways, the Munchkin Standard Wipe Warmer rocks my socks. Since I started using it, my baby boy has not cried once during a diaper change. The warmer locks on both sides to keep the lid down on your wipes and the button on the front of the lid is actually a light that you can push to see how full or empty the container is so that you are prepared to refill the warmer when it needs it. The horror of being in the middle of a diaper change when you realize your warmer has no wipes in it, right?! Not with this warmer! 

I bought my warmer at Target but I have also seen it at BuyBuyBaby.

Pros

• Super easy to set up. (Take it out the box & plug it in!)
• Light helps you stay ahead of running out of wipes
• doesn't over heat wipes; wipes get a nice warm temp
• happy baby during diaper changes

Cons

• Depending on the wipes you use, warmer may dry out the wipes (I am currently using Huggies One&Done & Im having no problems)
