MY REVIEW
I’m breastfeeding my baby, but that doesn’t mean we don’t use bottles, and finding a good bottle that mimics breastfeeding and doesn’t give baby a bunch of gas is hard. We like these bottles from Prince Lionheart because they’re BPA free and made from silicone, which is a material that doesn’t harbor bacteria.
The best part about these silicone bottles is that because they are soft and kind of squishy, you can squeeze all the excess air out before feeding baby. Put milk in the bottle, pinch the nipple and squeeze until the milk reaches the top of the nipple. There’s no extra air left in the bottle to get into baby’s stomach, thus reducing gas and colic. It’s brilliant!
Bath time for newborns is a huge pain. My son screams almost the entire time, probably because he’s cold! The Prince Lionheart wasPOD is a great baby tub option because it allows your baby to be under water up to his neck. It’s tight quarters, but that’s kind of the point – the washpod resembles the womb as closely as possible. Baby is confined to a small, warm place, and he loves it!
The washPOD is recommended for babies 0-6 months, but I think it works lots better once baby can hold his head up. It is a little bit tricky to hold him up in there, but if you put your arm along baby’s chest and then curve your hand around to his back so his head can rest on your forearm, it works pretty well. The best part is that he’s not freezing cold, so he doesn’t scream!
And the bebePOD is one of my favorite baby products because it allows babies to sit up before they’re able to do it on their own. The spongey, rubbery feel makes the chair comfortable for baby’s soft bones and the design is such that it actually helps strengthen those sitting muscles to get them ready for independent sitting.
The bebePOD infant chair is small so you can carry it with you wherever you need to go. We love to put it on the kitchen table so baby can be right there with us at dinnertime
The PLUS comes with an attachable tray – simply replace the white pommel with the tray and the bebePOD can now keep your child stationary and happy for hours! This is a serious lifesaver for anytime you need to get something done around the house. All you need is a flat surface to set it on and baby will happily sit up and play and let you do what you need to do.
Thanks to Prince Lionheart for this these 3 great products!
