Pregnancy and Baby Product Reviews 
Aubrey Organics - Natural Baby & Kids Bath Soap reviewed by Jo from Kent in June 2010
  "I love this product it is great for long car journeys, picnics and when your out and about. The flask is compact and easily fits into my changing bag. I was impressed that all tools fit in the flask itself (apart from the warming bowl) to minimize storage. It didn't leak, the water used to warm the food, stayed hot consistently on each outing. I would not hesitate in recommending, this product "it does what it says on the tin" and my daughter had a warm meal when she needed it most!" Visit www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk for more information Morrck Baby Hoodie reviewed by Carrie from Essex  "The Morrck Baby Hoodie is a hooded travel wrap designed to fit on a standard pushchair or group 0, 0+ or 1 car seat. It is reversible and made of layers of fleece and cotton jersey. It comes in 3 sizes suitable for 0-6 months, 5-18 months and 18 months - 4 years. It comes in 4 weights of fabric plus an organic option.This is a lovely quality item, very soft and a nice colour, suitable for a boy or girl (I received charcoal and lime). It fitted my Jane Slalom Pro pushchair easily and with the Velcro fastenings for around the harness points it would fit securely on most pushchairs I would have thought, without slipping and falling on the floor like a blanket could.
Once on the pushchair it is comfortable for the child to sit on and, unlike a foot muff, allows them to easily get in and out of the pushchair just by unwrapping the cover, with the added bonus of covering not only the legs but also the body and head if required. It is a generous size giving plenty of space for movement and no restriction for the child when wrapped around them.
I am not sure this is something I would use in a car seat for a child of this age (the size 3 I received is suitable for 18 months to 4 years) but I can see how this would be very useful for a younger child, especially in a first car seat where they may fall asleep and you need to keep them warm between the car and home without disturbing them by taking off coats or putting on layers. It also allows the harness to still be used safely without the cover getting in the way and affecting the performance of the car seat.Overall, I would say this is a good product if you are out and about lots and want the convenience of being able to keep your child covered without blankets trailing on the floor or falling off in the car. Also it would be very useful for cooler summer evenings in the ‘All Season’ weight that I received."
Mama tea reviewed by Sarah from Hamilton in October 2009 Available in Waitrose.  "We were very excited when our 'Bambeano' arrived - couldn't get it out of the box quick enough! And we weren't dissapointed, it's a lovely product. Essentially, it's a beanbag designed especially for your baby - shaped so that it positions him in a semi-upright position (much like a bouncy chair), and with a clippy harness to keep him safe. My little boy loves it! I strapped him in to watch spongebob (his favourite!), and he immediately looked very comfortable and happy. He does love his bouncer too, but I think this is better for when you're trying to settle baby or encourage naptime, as there's no movement or toy bar to distract or excite them, so it's altogether more calming and relaxing. It's really good qualty too, lovely fabric and very well made (so much so that it makes a comfy seat for mummy & daddy too!), plus It's a product that will really last too- when your little one gets bigger, you could put it in their own room to be used as a regular beanbag. Definitely reccomend this to other parents." Visit www.crazy4baby.co.uk for more information and to buy
Method Baby Range reviewed by Alison from Somerset in September 2009 We had been using Pampers newborn, and couldn't fault the quality - very few leakage accidents to speak of! My favourite thing about them though, was the different animals on each one - everytime I did a nappy change, I'd tell Dylan what the animal was & what noise it made - he seemed to enjoy it! Well, the active f
 it version have different characters from Sesame Street on - even more fun! (And endless giggles from the little man as mumy tried to do the different voices!)Apart from looking great, these are the high quality you'd expect from pampers, nice and soft, easy to pull & stick tabs, and very absorbant - Dylan has recetly learned to roll, and rarely sits still too long anyway, but these move & stretch with him with no leakage at all (not even during an explosive poo! - sorry, but you're all mums, you know what I;m talking about!).
All in all, a great nappy I'll definitely be using in the future. They may be a little more expensive then some other brands, but they're almost always on offer in most big baby departments, and the Pampers 'mega packs' offer great value for money." And Pampers Active Fit also reviewed by Caroline from Norfolk "The Active Fit nappies are very slim and this raised a concern in my mind that perhaps they wouldn’t be absorbent enough. However I was completely wrong, they are just, if not more, as absorbent as other much more bulky nappies. Even with a full nappy there were no leaks and my son never seemed to have a clammy bottom. The slim shape means he can move around easily in them without padding getting in the way and he really liked the fun Sesame Street characters on the front. A very good product which I would definitely recommend to my friends."

"This is a lovely soft smelling bath soap, my son has eczema but this gentle soap left his skin moist and without irritation. I only wish the dispenser was bigger as I ran out pretty fast. This will definitely join my list of favourites" 
"I was lucky enough to review this website whilst pregnant with my 4th and was looking for a nursing bra to help me with breastfeeding my newborn. The website itself looks very friendly and professional, giving you an impression that they care about you and have your best interests at heart and they give you a telephone number and offer a lot of help when you call to discuss your requirements with professional fitters available by phone or email to help you find the best bra for you! Just by searching their website you can find a lot of information on how to chose the correct size bra to wear when pregnant or nursing and they even have a personalised bra fitting service where you fill in a few details, stating your bra size before pregnancy and how far along in your pregnancy you are and within minutes you get an email with tailor made information for you and a suggestion about what size bra to wear. 
Snoozeshade £19.99 reviewed by Emily in April 2010
"The juice box holder is a very sturdy piece of kit....in bright, durable plastic, with rubbery handles, making holding a comfy experience for the toddler. I can imagine this lasting for years to come. Gone is my morning chorus of "don't squeeze it!! Keep it upright! Don't leave the box lying about" when giving my daughter her morning carton of smoothie. This will be invaluable in the car, where you can't keep an eye on what they're doing back there, only to arrive at destination with juice all over them, and the car! We have used this with 'wedge' style smoothie cartons, and regular rectangular boxes, and both fit well. Overall, very impressed, and well worth buying if you and your child like the convenience of a box drink, but not the mess sometimes associated!" Visit 
"I've tried the tops, they are FAB! I've found them so easy to use and get used to wearing, I really don't know why I've never tried nursing tops before. They are extremely comfortable and have taken well to the demands of tandem feeding/babyfeeding/toddlerfeeding, whilst still managing to keep breastfeeding discreet. The only bad point I really have, is that the white top is fairly 'see through' at the back and it isn't going to stay particularly white for very long, especially with small children around thats for sure. But I would definitely buy these tops and if you were able to put together a pack of 2 black as an option, that would just be a bonus." Visit 
"This video monitor is quite expensive but worth the money because it give such great monitoring and peace of mind is priceless when it comes to my baby. It was a large video screen that was very clear and set up was pretty easy. You can also see room temperature and there is a sound indicator so you can turn the volume down and still monitor baby. The camera is shaped like a dog which is a cute touch and my hubbie loved it generally as it appealed to his gadget-needs and Motorola is a lot cooler than many of the other baby monitor brands!"
"I have been using these products for about 5 weeks now and they are lovely. The Cheeky Cream is great, althought my son doesn't suffer from nappy rash I use this every night it's really thick and gives great protection. The Nanight Balm smells lovely and I find the lavender smell helps to settle him at night, I rubbing on his chest just before bed. The Huggy lotion I have to admit have not used on my son as he isn't into the whole massage thing so this one has just been for me!! Its lovely and light and great for when I've just got out of the shower. I would recommend these products to everyone they are all natural so great for babies skins as well as lovely for new Mums to use." Visit 
Morning Mama is a beautiful blend of ginger and chamomile with hints of lemon and orange. I have thoroughly enjoyed this tea throughout the day but particularly before bedtime to help me sleep. This tea has been designed to help combat morning sickness, digestive upsets and insomnia. 
"The Vtech Clear Sounds digital baby monitor pretty much covers everything you could ever want or need such as 50 melodies, temperature sensor, feeding timer / alarm, parent talk back (which came in very handy) and so on! For the musicians amongst you, you can also hook it up to an MP3 player to play your music to the baby, and you can also record your own messages / songs. All of these features are fully controllable from the remote parent unit.
Baby Aid First Aid Kit reviewed by Laura from Berkshire in September 2009
"I recently tried out the Bambino Merino Sleeping bag for babies which I thought was excellent. When it arrived I opened it and immediately felt how soft it was and also how warm it would be in the winter. The sleeping bag also came with a long sleeve bodysuit which was very thin but also felt very soft. I used it on my 4 month old daughter and she looked very cosy in it. It is true what they say that it keeps them cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The sleeping bag has an age range of 0-4yrs but they also have other ranges in the same material. It is also machine washable, odour resistance and is great for those babies that have sensitive skin. The price of the sleeping bag is £49.95 and the long sleeve vest is £17.95 which is a bit steep but it is worthwhile I just wish they did one for adults. Please take a look at the website as you will get a feel for the product straight away." Visit 
"The new Graco ear thermometer is a very easy to use item. Comes with a holder to keep the thermometer in so it can be kept clean and so it would be harder to get lost. An easy switch on button that then beeps if it is has been switched on properly. It is compact and small so it wont hurt yours or your babies ear. Taking a temperature is easy and impossible to do wrong. Once it has been switched on and has been used it will beep again and switch itself off after a while so you don't use up all of the battery which is very useful for a distracted or busy mum. My 6 month old daughter does not mind if I use it on her because it is so small and quick, it beeps with in seconds to tell you the accurate results, which will then also show a smilie face if it is a good temperature, luckily I haven't seen a worried looking face yet. Is easy to understand in degrees centigrade. Would recommend."
