Doctor Says No More Bottle… Now What?

Squeaker Man went to the doctors on Friday and I already knew what was coming. The doctor said, no more bottles as soon as possible! Squeaker Man seems ok with this idea, thanks to his Tommee Tippee Sippy Cup but honestly mommy is not so ready to say good-bye to the bottle! I love holding my little guy and cuddling while he drinks his bottle but I guess mom has to do what the doctor recommends.

It took me awhile to find a sippy cup that he would take too and luckily he likes the Tommy Tippee I finally found at Babies R Us. I have also seen them at ToysRus as well. I really like the whole line of Tommee Tippee products. We have used the bottle for Squeaker since he was a very little and been very happy. The great thing about Tommee Tippee product is that they are all clearly labeled for your child’s developmental stage so you know when he/she is ready to use them. I have found this so helpful.

I was also sent some cool feeding accessories that can really help if you have a little one like mine, who enjoys making meal time a HUGE party time. Squeaker Man really enjoys dumping out his food on his tray and on the floor… or his head depending on the day! So these new easy stick mats and weaning bowls with lid and spoon make your life a little easier! They are all BPA free and they stick to any surface. Basically this mat sticks to your baby’s tray so they can’t dump their bowl of food out! Then you take the weaning bowl that you just heated up and attach it to the tray and you are set…less stress, less mess. Yippee!

Educational Toys at Growing Tree Toys

I was going to write this great post about Growing Tree Toys this week and how they have these great educational toys. I was going to talk about how they sent over this Transparent Marble Run and I saved it for my sons birthday BUT he found it weeks ago. Actually it never even made it past the doorstop! My husband opened it not knowing it was for my sons birthday and my son saw it and HAD to have it.

I specifically asked for a Marble Run because I had one as a child and I loved it so much. I knew my son would love it also. I just wish it could have waited until his birthday

I love shopping at Growing Tree Toys because they give a product description of all their toys plus they let you know the developmental benefits of each toy and the different types of play the toy offers.

For example the Marble Run is described as:

Build a wacky, weird, wonderful maze for marbles to travel and traverse with the Transparent Marble Run from Quercetti Toys! The Transparent Marble Run is a 44-piece set that includes transparent, colored tubes for building exciting maze creations. With this marble run set, kids can simply create any unique marble run, place one of the colorful marbles up top, and watch the journey begin! Race marbles or make complicated mazes – anything is possible with Transparent Marble Run! Can be used with the Marble Run Vortex Set.

Also, if you look on the product page you can easily see that the toy has physical, spatial, logical, and intrapersonal benefits. As well as it promotes quiet and manipulative play.

I really like knowing how the toys I buy are going to benefit my children and I think Green Tree Toys makes it very simple and straight forward for me to find that information. Growing Tree Toys is definitely worth checking out!

Celtic Woman – Songs from the Heart Giveaway – Closed

I was recently given the opportunity to review the CD, Celtic Woman – Songs from the Heart. I’ll be honest. I was skeptical to say the least! I have never listened to Celtic music before so when I popped this CD in during my drive to work I was pleasantly surprised. I am not kidding, this CD is beautiful. I never thought I would say that a CD of Celtic music is on regular rotation in my car. This cd is incredibly relaxing for me. You can listen to some previews of songs on Amazon if you would like.

This exciting new CD is from Celtic Woman, a 5 member Irish female ensemble known for putting a modern twist on the Celtic Sound.  The Songs from the Heart CD includes contemporary hits like Sting’s “Fields of Gold” and Billy Joel’s “Goodnight My Angel.”

Celtic Woman is all over the Billboard charts, selling more than 3.8 million records in the U.S. alone, and has had 7 sold-out US Tours. They are currently kicking off their tour which includes dates at New York City’s famed Radio City Music Hall. They’ve performed on Dancing With the Stars and will have an upcoming PBS special.

I am so glad I got a chance to experience their beautiful work!

Tommee Tippee Review

I am proud to bring you the first Squeaker Man Review here on “Deal”icious Mom.

 

Little side note about “Deal”icious Mom: Squeaker Man is our nickname for our 7 month old because when he was born he would squeak when he drank his bottle plus his real name is Ezekiel (Zeke) so it rhymes. Silly, I know, but it stuck.

Squeaker Man had the chance to review the new line of Tommee Tippee bottles and sippy cups and I must admit that both baby and mom were very impressed.I am in no hurry to see my little man grow up and I was sad to see that with the Tommee Tippee bottle he was (for the first time) able to hold the bottle himself! My heart sunk a little to see him growing up so fast but this bottle definitely impressed me. Squeaker took to it right away. The nipple is incredible soft, ultra wide,  and malleable. I could see this bottle being very useful for parents who are both breastfeeding and bottle feeding since this bottle appears to mimic the breast very well. Of course it is BPA- and Phthalate-free. I also like that the ultra-sensitive anti-colic valve lets baby feed at their pace for less air, vacuum build-up and nipple collapse. Since we received this bottle we have all but turned our backs on other bottles.

Squeaker also received 2 sippy cups to put through his rigorous testing process. The faired just as well. I liked the design and easy cleaning of these cups since I am always very worried about mold building up in all the little pieces of most sippy cups. I end up throwing away so many of the sippy’s I have bought in the past because they are so hard to clean. This Tommee Tippee sippy is great because it has nice handles for Squeaker to hold and it does  not leak or at least not yet. Overall, I liked this cup and so did Squeaker but he still has some growing before he will be able to use it. I plan on going out and getting him the First Sips cup to use for a while since it seems more his speed!

I was pleasantly surprised when I visited Tommee Tippee’s main website at how many useful product they have in their line. I am interested in so many. They also have a great line of products for transitioning called the Explora line your toddler to a cup. So basically you can use their products from their first bottle all the way up to a insulated drinking cup. They also have pacifiers, tableware, sterilizers and more. For fear of going on forever, I just want to say that I really like this brand and they did not pay me to say that. I am definitely going to Babies”R”us to check out more of their products.

Let me know if you try out some of their products and what you think.
