Hug your newborn with these nappies!

Advantages: Cute design, great fit, no nappy rash!
Disadvantages: None

...I have a 'new' niece who is currently 14 weeks and she is wearing Huggies Newborn size 2 nappies and my review is based on these. The size 2 is designed for babies who weigh 3-6kg and you get 40 nappies for £5.98 from Tesco stores although these are currently on offer for £5.00 per pack. The nappies are very lightweight and pretty in design. These particular nappies have Winnie The Pooh on them and although my niece is too young to appreciate this I am a fan of the design, as is my sister (who chooses this brand every week at shopping!). The nappies are white and have an elasticated waist allowing them to mould better to the shape of an individual baby (as we all know they can greatly vary in size!). They have a tab on either side for them to allow the sides be stuck to the front of the nappy to help prevent any leakages. These...

Review of Huggies Newborn Nappies

Huggies Newborn are the worst nappies i have used

Advantages: Slightly cheaper than other brands
Disadvantages: Not very leak proof & made babys bottom very red

...Being a new mum I have tried various different brands of nappies & I have to say I think Huggies newborn are the worst I have used. Unlike Pampers newborn I found Huggies very difficult to put on my baby, the back of them never seemed to lie flat so I could never get them in the right position I also found that Huggies gave my baby a very red bottom which looked very sore. These nappies where not very leak proof either, I was forever having to change my baby due to either wee or poo going all up her back or out along her legs. I only used two packs of these nappies (and that was because we didn't buy them) and I will def not be using them again, I don't even think ill be trying any of the bigger size as I don't want to be wasting money when I know other brands are far better. These nappies cost around £4 for 27 but are often...

Huggies newborn nappies size 1

Advantages: Soft, fit small babies well
Disadvantages: Occasional leakage

...find that there were some occasional accidents with these nappies, although this was mainly over night. Overall, I would recomment these nappies, especially if your baby is on the smaller size and I would use them again myself with another newborn baby....

Review of Huggies Newborn Nappies

great car seat

Advantages: see rview
Disadvantages: expense, heavy

...I bought this when I had my baby as it was apparently the best on the market and I really can't find fault with it at all it has been the most reliable of our baby products and can't rate it highly enough. This car seat is different from others as it is suitable for up to 9 months whilst the majority of others are just up to 6 months. The seat is well padded and has a 'head hugger' so it is safer for newborns. This headhugger can then be removed once your baby is big enough. The straps also can be adjusted once your baby grows so that it is still safe and comfortable. The straps are easy to use- at first they were fiddly but once you have the hang of them then you know what you're doing they're easy! once you have strapped your baby in you then pull on the straps to make them tight so that your baby is safetly in place...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

An amazing car seat

Advantages: safe, cosy
Disadvantages: none

...Where to buy: This car seat is readily available. You can buy it from all the shops you'd expect to be able to buy them from including Halfords, mothercare, john lewis', toys r us etc. What do they cost: prices vary depending up on offers and stores but usually this car seat retails at £100. How do they attach? This car seat is different to many of the others on the market. It clips onto a base which is attached to your car, This makes it easy to get the car seat in and out of the car without waking up the baby. The car seat base is attached by the seat belt securing it in place and a metal leg which keeps it stable. Are they comfortable? This car seat is very padded and so a nice cosy seat for your baby. It comes with a head hugger which makes it cosy and safe for a newborn. This headhugger can be removed revealing much...

Having a Baby

Advantages: Makes excellent espresso, cappuccino and latte coffee
Disadvantages: Needs to be cleaned and maintained regularly

...I've never been particularly keen on drinking coffee at work - the options usually consisting of either a mug of the instant variety made with water boiled in a disgustingly furred-up kettle, or a paper cup of brown-coloured hot liquid dispensed by a temperamental vending machine - so it was with some relief when I began a new job last year to learn that there was an espresso machine at my disposal, with which to make a cup of 'real' coffee whenever I wanted one. I wouldn't term myself a coffee snob by any means, but I'm a firm believer that there's no competition between the genuine article and its powdered or granular equivalent, despite what the Kenco lady in the television commercials would have us believe. NAMING THE BABY Our machine, the quaintly-named Baby Dose, is made by the Italian company Gaggia, one of the world...

heinz nurture newborn formula milk

Advantages: nice packaging, easy to use
Disadvantages: didnt appear to do what it claimed on the pack

...Heinz nurture first milk (from newborn) this milk comes in both powdered and a liquid form. i bought the powder which comes in a rather attractive coloured pale green 900g tub.it is reasonably priced at around 7.99 a tub. It has a built in leveller which is very convenient and saves time, something of which any parent can appreciate! I was attracted to this milk with the claims that it containes 'Betapol" which is suposed to reduce constipation. It also contains 'alpha lactalbumin - a source of protein. Prebiotics aka friendly bacteria claiming to give better stool consistency, reduce constipation and reduce colic. It also contains 'nucleotides' which helps to build cells and support a healthy immune system. armed with all this information i marched down to the supermarket to buy it. With all these extra things added it had to be...

Becky and her baby!

Advantages: Drew me in straight away, and contains babies!
Disadvantages: None!

...?Shopoholic and baby?, by Sophie Kinsella is the fifth and as far as I am aware the final offering from the shopoholic series (for the time being anyway!). The book starts with a quite pregnant Becky who is going for a detailed scan, if you read the last book you will be aware that there was a particular accident that happened with her ?long lost? sister Jess, that would make any pregnant woman jumpy! After ascertaining that everything is fine with her and her husband Luke?s baby, an a particularly funny incident where she has a quick go at scanning herself to find out the sex, then spending the next ten minutes talking to her bladder (soo funny!), she finally allows herself to do a little shopping?..ok, a lot of shopping. On her trip she over hears two ?yummy mummies? talking about the new celebrity midwife Venetia Carter, she...

Primo Viaggio - DANGEROUSLY UPRIGHT for newborns

Advantages: can be used as a travel system (if you are able to use the seat!!)
Disadvantages: Far too upright for a newborn, heavy, difficult to fit belt around - AVOID!!!!

...We bought this car seat to go with the Pliko P3 Pramette thinking that M&P were a good company & could be trusted. WRONG!! This car seat is DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS as it is FAR TOO UPRIGHT for a newborn. No matter how tight the straps are done up, our baby daugter's head slumped downwards & sidewards to the extent that her head was trapped under the SIP headrest! I had to stop on numerous occasions due as I was afrais she could not breathe I am a regular poster on the Bounty forum and to date am aware of 20 other people who have bought this seat with the same problem. M&P customer services are terrible - we have now changed to a Graco seat that is much safer!! AVOID THIS SEAT!!!!...

Review of Mamas & Papas Primo Viaggio Car Seat

Baby Prison

Advantages: three-in-one playpen, fireguard and room divider
Disadvantages: takes a while to convert from one thing to the other

...Well, you might not think so, but Leah certainly did - she objected strongly to ever sitting in her playpen and playing for more than about two minutes. A playpen was one of those things I thought I would never actually use - and although I don't use it often, it's a very useful thing to have when you have a mobile baby and you need to answer the door, put the washing out, or just need two minutes to get on with something. What's a Babydan? ------------------------- It's a large, hexagonal metal playpen made of six sections. They divide into two lots of three, and can be "folded" like a zizag, allowing you to make whatever shape you like (useful for cordoning off an awkward area of a large room.) One of the sections functions as the door to the playpen, or can be used as a separate stairgate. The playpen has a comfortable blue...
