Carry more with Karrimor!!!

Advantages: Lighwreight well made rucksack
Disadvantages: There are to many straps

...I recently needed a new backpack because my old one was rather worn and large for my purposes. So of to good old ebay I go, on the hunt for a new one. Firstly I looked at the some of the sports bags like Adidas, Reebok and Nike. None of these however fitted my personal criteria. I was looking for something that would fit comfortably on my shoulders whilst on my bike. It needed to be practical, lightweight, with lots of compartments for my bits and pieces. So I have a look through the camping section on ebay and soon found the bag I was looking for, the Karrimor Vault 20. The bag itself is black and grey and has the Karrimor logo neatly stitched on the front, this looks like a union jack at first but on closer examination turns out to be two "K's" back to back in inverted colours one side being silver/black and the other black...

Review of Karrimor vault 20

Miracle bottles

Advantages: No wind, no ear infections, no colic, teats don't collapse, doesn't contain Bisphenol A
Disadvantages: Bit of a hassle to clean, the price

...Now I must start this by saying I never had a particularly colicky baby to start with but I still think these are brilliant. After messing my baby about considerably; breast, bottle, orthadentic teats, normal teats, dummies etc I took the plunge and bought these. My baby is very adaptable and never bothers how she is getting her milk or what from as long as she is getting it. I mix fed her from the beginning and was using disposable orthadentic teats. This was very handy but once she was on bottles full time it was too expensive to continue. So i bought some normal teats but these kept collapsing as she sucks so hard and the amount of bubbles going back into the milk really bothered me. Also because the teats were collapsing I had to keep taking them out of her mouth and upsetting her. So anyway, getting to the point, I was in...

Bottle on the Go!!!

Advantages: sooo handy when out and about
Disadvantages: none

...Thermos Baby Bottle Warmer by Fisher Price I love to be out and about with Jack and I think lots of fresh air helps him have a much better nights sleep. I am especially trying t walk off all that excess baby weight that I have put on but I have been finding feeding fairly difficult if I am just out for a walk. It is not too bad doing a feed if I have gone out to a restaurant or somewhere where they can give me a jug of boiling water so I can drop his bottle in but if I am out walking and he gets hungry then I was really stuck for what to do until that is I came across this thermos flask. I was browsing items on Amazon that I could spend some vouchers that I had received and that is when I came across this. Fisher price have made a thermos flask that is pretty much the same as any thermos you would usually get but instead...

Avent Bottles

Advantages: Look like a bottle
Disadvantages: Can leak

...In my opinion Avent bottles look like a bottle should and have excellent wear and tear value. I prefer the look of the Avent bottle compare to the tommie tippie (closer to nature) bottles as the tommie tippie teats look too natural and I am sure thats the point but I like a bottle to look like a bottle. The Avent bottle wash well in the dishwasher, however you might not want to wash them with plates or saucepans that have just cooked Bolognese or curry as they do stain the color of the teats and lids. They can leak from time to time, so make sure before you set off that you check it first otherwise you might end up with milk all over the place. These bottle also work really well with the Avent pump. Just screw on and go. The teats also come in different sizes for thicker liquids or hungrier babies. These are not cheap at around £4...

dr browns bottles ????

Advantages: great for wind and colic
Disadvantages: leak, scratch and to many parts to it

...in my experience with dr browns bottles they are great for preventing wind and colic but they have a few down sides so are they worth the extra money are that the bottles leak if not upright and the milk comes up the tube and out of the bottles as you warm it up they get scratched easy and you can only steralise 2 bottles at a time as there are so many parts to each bottle. the bottles are quite wide so you cant fit 2 in a double thermal bag and the level one teats got blocked up had to swap to level two earlier than reccommended. if i had to buy baby bottles again i would look for another product that helps with wind and colic....

Review of Dr.Brown Baby Bottle

brill bottles!

Advantages: helps reduce colic
Disadvantages: price maybe

...Here I am agan writing a review on a baby product! I honestly never knew I would have so many opinions about baby-related things or that there was such variety as far as bottles go! Mrs B and I bought some Tommee Tippiee bottles when Baby B was born but these seemed to make her colic worse and so we were advised to try Dr Brown's Bottles as they have a special valve inside which helps to reduce colic. When looking at the bottles they look a little odd, it seems strange to see a big plastic tube inside the bottle but this unique feature helps keep the air away from the teat so that your baby doesn't take in great gulps of it and then ends up with tummy ache all evening and we all know there is nothing worse than a colicy baby! The bottle comes with the usual measurements along the side so you can work in either oz or mls. To put...

Hitting The Bottle!

Advantages: cheaper than Avent
Disadvantages: a few things...

...Tommee Tippee Closer to nature Bottles The moment I saw these bottles I thought that they looked really smart and as I had an Amazon voucher to spend I thought I would invest in a couple and see how they faired compared to the more widely used baby bottles made by Avent. I already had a few Avent bottles given to me from a friend and I just had to buy some new teats for them so comparing the two was easy. I paid around £10 for three of these Tommee Tippee bottles that hold 260ml and that price includes the postage and packaging costs, minus that it would have cost around £8. Now this compared to Avent is probably slightly cheaper as I have recent bought some of my own large Avent Bottles and I paid £15 for four from Boots, so buying Avent it works out a little more expensive. These Tommee Tippee bottles are called...

Milk Bottles - Bottles Of Milk!

Advantages: Cheap Price, nice packaging.
Disadvantages: High in sugars.

...Asda have a long term price off where you can buy three bags of these sweets (and others in the range) for £1.00 or buy each bag separately for around 35-40p (price varies). The sweets are all decorated nicely in clear bags (so you can be tempted by the appearance of the sweets) and with miscellaneous things on them. This one has a cow (just in case you didn't see the word milk!). The bag is 95g and for your money you will normally get between 35 & 40 milk bottles just under an inch high, this is a great amount for an adult or even to share amongst little ones. Each bag contains 316 calories & 50.7g of sugars so too many of these will definitely contribute to your next trip to the dentist. I would advise eating these in moderation and don't give them to your kids too frequently (well unless they've still got their milk teeth...

Review of Asda Milk Bottles

Best Bottles Available

Advantages: Babies actually seem to like them, easy to clean, lots of accessories available so they can last you for many years
Disadvantages: none

...I started using Avent bottles with my son, George, he was breastfed but I used the Avent breast pump (which you can attached directly to the feeding bottle) to express off some milk. I started him getting used to a bottle early (2 weeks old) he took to the bottle straight away. These bottles are apparently like sucking from the breast for a baby and George certainly had no problems. You can buy all sorts of accessories to use with the bottles, ie different flow rates of teat, from slow flow suitable for breastfed babies (as breastfed babies can get addicted to bottles and go off the breast as the bottle is easier to get the milk from!) training spouts and also the new magic cup which the lid will fit directly onto the bottle (like the anyway up cup, with no spills, except you can actually get the liquid out without sucking excessively...

Review of Avent Feeding Bottles

Brilliant bottle!

Advantages: tough, nice shape, anti colic
Disadvantages: the cap is too stiff with wet hands!

...When my daughter was being weaned onto the bottle she really struggled with lots of the bottles I tried her on. They were either too big and heavy against her lips or the texture just wasn't right for her. I really struggled to find a bottle which she would take to without huge protests and getting milk everywhere! At last I tried Dr Brown's bottles and they worked first go! They are unique bottles- they have 4 patents on them. They have a special air flow system which makes the extra air that is usually released when a baby sucks a bottle be reduced dramatically. This then reduces colic and results in a happier baby! My baby took to this bottle right away without hardly a moment's problems and I found it really nice to hold. Other bottles I'd tried were quite wide and so it made my hand ache and another bottle had been a very...
