"When did I last feed the baby?"

Advantages: Helps remind busy, forgetful parents and carers
Disadvantages: Card could wear over time

...If you took a group of pregnant women and asked if they suffered "pregnancy brain" almost all of them would answer yes, pregnancy seems to do funny things to women, other then the obvious large bump and hormone changes, and memory loss is often one of those things, once baby has arrived the problem only becomes worse as tiredness due to lack of sleep kicks in. After having my daughter 2 years ago one of the most frequently asked questions by myself to whatever family member happened to be around was "when did I feed her last?" You see my children, being formula fed, had their feeds at 4 hour intervals but not at set times each day so it was important that I didn't feed them too early otherwise they wouldn't take the whole bottle and we'd end up with an unsettled, hungry baby who's routine had gone out the window. When I was pregnant...

Review of Chiggs Feeding Wheel

Feed Day or Night with No Probs!

Advantages: Convenient to have beside the bed
Disadvantages: Noisy when the warmer is heating up.

...Just after I had Murray I started expressing some milk to allow daddy to help with the feeds and let me get some sleep as having 2 children under 3 was very tiring with very little sleep, with having to breast feed all night long. The first few nights when Murray wakened he would scream while hubby was down stairs getting the expressed bottle out of the fridge and heating it up. By that time I had just latched Murray on and breast fed him. After a while I gradually started introducing to formula to try and get him to go longer between feeds and give me a break as I was at breaking point. Hubby was happy for this but he was fed up going downstairs, switching the kettle on and waiting for the bottle to get the chill off it. So he decided enough was enough and off he went and came back with a Lindam Day and Night Feeder. Costing £29...

Review of Lindam Night & Day Feeding System

Feeding Frenzy

Advantages: very addictive fun game - easy to pick up
Disadvantages: there are no extra levels to download

.... There is also a special ability by which you eat lots of fish in quick succession and unlock the ability of "feeding frenzy" where it will eat evrything available fish in one go and build up lots of points. There are also special bonus stages with different challenges, and a special time trial mode is available in which you must complete each level or stage in a designated time. This is a really fun arcade game which can become rather addictive (and sometimes irritating when you are eaten by a shark), and is certainly worth downloading, or at least donwload the demo....

Review of Feeding Frenzy (Xbox Live Arcade)

Easy for babies to feed themselves

Advantages: Wide range of accessories and long lasting
Disadvantages: More expensive than others

...for this type of bottle. You can convert the feeding bottle into a beaker as Avent have released a beaker with the same size neck so all you have to do is buy the handle with the spout and attach it on as you would if you were making up a bottle of milk. These beaker tops have been designed so that, should your little one knock it over by accident, there is no mess as it does not leak unless you really shake it with some strength. If that hasn't pursuaded you then this fact should... Avent bottles with the Avent teats have been clinically proven to reduce colic and I have to say that my little one has yet to suffer from colic. The bottles come in 2 sizes, 4oz and 9oz and the beakers themselves come in a variety of different colours. The teats can either be in white or blue. An extra added bonus for mothers is that because the bottles...

Review of Avent Feeding Bottles

Lindam Night & Day Feeding System

Advantages: Saves wondering downstairs to wait for the kettle to boil
Disadvantages: noisy, doesn't seem to heat some bottles up properly

...Before our son was born my wife was insistent that she wanted to breast feed. After what seemed to be a birth from hell that took an eternity, my wife attempted to breast feed more or less straight away. Although our new found bundle of joy was suckling, nothing was coming out. Very quickly my wife became frustrated as did baby Jake and we both realized that breastfeeding was no longer an option. After about two weeks of Jake coming home it was quite apparent, that me chasing up and down the stairs in the dark waiting for the kettle to boil, then waiting for the bottle to warm seemed to take a toll on me. I took it on myself to help Claire (my wife) as much as possible although I work about ten and a half hours a day, leave early and return home late. By the time I had got up, warmed the bottle, got back into bed and tried to get...

Easy Feeding with Tommee

Advantages: easy to clean, easy latching for baby, easy handling, cheap,
Disadvantages: none that i can think of

...-- INTRODUCTION -- I am currently breast feeding and bottle feeding little Ethan at the moment, in which the health visitor encouraged it with him being so young it will get him used to bottles. Although the bottles I had was not much good as he had restless feeds and was always cramped up with wind troubles. I do also have a breast pump which I can express my milk into 4oz avent bottles but again he was still having the restless bottle feeds, and still having the wind trouble too. So when I saw these bottles when browsing the Argos Catalogue it was a must buy. Let me tell you why they were so appealing to me. -- ABOUT THE BOTTLES -- When I saw these bottles the thing that stuck out the most was where it states that the bottles are made to mimic the breast, for easy switching from breast to bottle. There was quite a lot that...

Review of Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Feeding Bottles

Feed them plants.

Advantages: Makes your plants grow
Disadvantages: can cause algae growth

...When you're setting your tank up and introducing some fish, you will need to add some plants to the tank, not only does it enhance the attractiveness of the tank, but they are beneficial to the fish as well. After all we live in houses with nice things around us and that is what your fish wants too! You can buy plastic plants but my opinion is you wouldn't buy plastic fish to put in your tank so why would you want to buy plastic plants? If you feed your plants with food then they will last just as long as plastic ones. A good advantage of having real plants is that the plants will use and feed on the Nitrates in your aquarium. If the nitrates levels get too high it will have a bad effect on the fish and can cause environmental stress and cause disease. I think most people forget or don't bother to feed the plants and this is...

Review of New Wave Plant Feed

feeding companion

Advantages: fantastic for breastfeeding away from home
Disadvantages: small bottles are useless after a month!

...I am a mother of 14 week old twins and decided to breastfeed. Unfortunately I had to go back to work when they were 7 weeks old but was adament that i'll continue to breastfeed. I bought the Avent breastpump wich is extremely easy to use along with 10 large bottles. They have been a life saver. They can be put in the freezer, microwave & dishwasher. I have boiled them and dropped them and they're still as good as new! Best of all they don't leak. The silicone teats are also very good and haven't caused nipple confusion at all. The bottles are light weight compact and the measuring graduations are very easy to read however, I do sometimes find that when feeding I have to pull the bottle out of my babies mouth because i can't quite see how many Oz. the have drunk This is a great product for mothers who are nursing or formula feeding...

Review of Avent Feeding Bottles

Mum let me feed Annabell then I'll have lunch

Advantages: The smile on your child's face
Disadvantages: Bulky and another item to add to the baby annabell collection

...It seems my daughter's bedroom is turning in to a nursery for her Baby Annabell doll. We seem to have most things for this doll that you would have for a real baby and this toy was the latest edition to the collection this Christmas. So what is it exactly, it is a feeding chair for you to feed Baby Annabell in and once you have done you can lay the back rest down to form an activity centre so she can have a sleep, play or listen to a lullaby. When you get this out of the box there is a bit of setting up to do but nothing too difficult. I managed to put it together in about five minutes, there are no screws just slotting pieces together. Here I noticed that is made of very strong plastic and will be hard to break and will be easy to clean just a wipe down with a damp cloth very so often so should last a long time. To put Baby...

Review of Zapf Baby Annabell Feeding Centre

Feed our feathered friends before its too late

Advantages: It's lovely to watch the birds in the garden
Disadvantages: Be careful where you out the food in case of rats

...I thought I’d write this opinion to encourage you all to look after our native wild birds. I have been hearing disturbing stories in the news about how the wild bird population is decreasing and how birds, like the sparrow, that we all thought to be so common are disappearing. I only have a small urban garden but I enjoy feeding the birds and love watching them on the bird table and in the birdbath. My father made me a bird table from some spare wood, but you can buy one at any garden centre. It is better to use a table rather than throwing scraps out on the garden path as it offers some protection from predators. If you put scraps on the floor you may well attract rats as well! I always keep a dish on my work surface in the kitchen and put any crumbs, scraps of fat off the meat, bacon rind etc in it to be put out...
