A godsend for infants!!!

My 5mo daughter has a severely sensitive stomach associated to an iron intolerance. She's been formula fed since the beginning due to my personal choice. I went through 8 different commerical milk-based and soy-based formulas. A good friend of ours suggested goat's milk. Her nephew was a failure to thrive baby and the ONLY formula he didn't throw up was Goat's Milk. I can easily find the liquid Goat's Milk at our local grocery store. Unfortunately, I have yet to come across the powder at said grocery store. I was home visiting my parents and was in search of the liquid, but found the powder. Strange that a smaller grocery store in a much smaller metropolitian area would have the powder versus a very large grocery store in the US's 4th largest metropolitian who just has the liquid.

Anyways, after 8 weeks of trial & error, we have a very happy 5mo baby. I wish would have found this formula earlier.
I added a mixture of goat's milk and pulp-free, plain coconut water into my daughter's feedings and it not only has cleaned her system out, but has stopped the colic, vomiting, reflux, constipation AND to replace her electrolytes. Again, I will repeat. Lower iron content equals happier, calmer baby. We still have the lingering green poops compliments of the iron oxidation; however, the iron tolerance has been greatly minimized. No colic, no vomiting, no reflux and no constipation. She has one bottle of coconut water/goat's milk every day just to keep the GI tract from metabolizing the excess iron proteins and to replace her ever so important electrolytes. Ironically, she actually takes this formula mixture better than the traditional formulas!!

Truly indestructible books! They are great for babies who are teething and always putting everything into their mouths. My wife and I have a 13 month old and when we were introduced to these they gave us reassurance that when she chewed on them she wouldn't be ingesting paper. The only down side to this particular book, Plip-plop Pond!, is there are no words, only pictures. But I suppose creative parents will be able to make up their own story! Great for kids who attempt to destruct everything! Let me say in closing that while kids (and adults!) cannot destruct these, the pages DO bend and crease, so please don't buy them thinking they are wrinkle free. They will not tear, are fully washable, and are non-toxic which means safe for baby's mouth. Go out and get your kids an indestructible and let them explore with their hands and mouths!

I received this for my daughter ,for her 1st birthday . She LOVED it !! . Before she always had an unpleasant look in the water, like she couldn't wait to get out . This product really helps infants, when there learning how to swim. It really helped her get comfortable with the water . Another benefactor is it beats holding them all the time why'll your in there .

Omg I love this thing. My babe is almost 5 months old and has been steadily showing more interest in it. The light up face catches her attention & the bumps on the center stick are great for sensory learning as she gets better at gripping objects. It's one of the few toys she has that distract her for more than just a few minutes ! It is hard plastic & she has bopped herself in the head with it (making herself cry) -- just keep an eye on em ;) I would definitely recommend this toy!

My kid (2 years 2 months) has loved everything I've got him made by Learning Resources. He has been obsessed nonstop for the last 3 months with the alphabet cookies...  He loves his multiple food sets... He is obsessed with letters, numbers, and shapes... I was exceptionally disappointed with "shape" toys I had looked at, until this one. I was concerned about all the negative reviews regarding smell, although from a few years ago mostly. Thankfully I can say the fears were for nothing. Out of the package, there is no smell to note unless you put it next to your nose and sniff, and then, it is so insignificant as to not be of an concern. I am, as I have been, so impressed by the quality of products from this company. This toy was so thoughtfully created to support my baby's learning! And for a very reasonable price for the product. I love also that as time goes by, this will be perfect also for imaginative play, and not need to be tossed aside because it's usefulness has passed.

This is the best baby musical toy! I bought one for both of my grandsons and they both just LOVE it! The sound it makes is very pleasing to hear, nice tone! It doesn't drive you crazy like some musical toys do! Plus I think it is making my grandson's even smarter- because they are listening to awesome classical music! My one daughter keeps this in the car so it will entertain her son while they drive- and it works! I highly recommend it- every baby should have one!

My 21 month old baby boy LOVES it!! I bought one for him when he was about 5-6 month old (when he already knows how to turn his head and body over. ), and he loves it since... I put this lullaby toy next to him, the lullaby and the glow light helps my boy falls asleep within five minutes! I don't know if it works this well on every baby, but I believe this lullaby toy can soothe babies...at least, make babies feel they are not alone in the cribs.

The only thing I want to complain is the glow light function is down after about one year of use. My boy doesn't really care if it lights up now if he is tired, but maybe some babies will love the light everytime when they sleep.

We bought 2 more for backup (actually my boy is using three of them...)

Have 2 adorable grandsons (ages almost 3 & 4 yrs old) whose Dad (my son) is the Associate Sports & Fitness Director at a prominent University. My ADORABLE  grands like to imitate their dad and other football athletes during their work-outs.  At home they would use brooms, dust mops or whatever was available with handles to practice lifting weights.  I  WAS THRILLED WHEN I FOUND THESE.  They are just perfect for my babies and I cannot begin to tell you how excited they were when they received them.  They almost never put them down and I like the fact they can grow into them by later adding the water or sand.  THANK YOU, YOU NAILED IT!!!!

Although a tad difficult to put on the iPad mini, this thing is amazing!  I bought two, one for each of my babies... that's right, babies! I have a 4 month old and a 20 month old.  We take long road trips at least once a month, and the girls have been known to get a little fussy on the road, so we try to plan for anything, but nothing works as well as an iPad to quiet them down and get them to take a nap.

This is going to sound ridiculous, but my 4 month old has started crying for the iPad while her sister is watching a movie, so we decided to get a mini for each of them, as well as cases and headrest connectors... they work together perfectly! These are some happy babies now!

So when the cases arrived I immediately put them on the iPads so I could put one in my older daughter's hands... well her Disney jr appisodes didn't work right away (it needed to download the appisodes) so she threw or on my kitchen floor, and it didn't even thud! That's right, the case worked so well that the iPad survived without a scratch and I didn't even hear it hit the floor.

It's not waterproof, but im guessing it will probably float too, not that I am going to find out, but it sort of looks like a pool noodle.

This pig has everything babies love and is jam-packed with learning features too. Little ones love cause and effect and love putting the coins into the slot. I was shocked that my 12 month old could do it right away. I imagine with younger babies youd need to guide their hands. After that the pig counts as the coins clink into the tummy. Because the tummy has a clear door, the baby can also see the coins dropping inside. Then the baby opens up the pig, spills out the coins and starts all over... again... and again... and again.

The coins are numbered on one side and have an animal on the other, and you get 2 of each color/animal. Good for matching and learning animals, colors, and numbers 1-10. Also, if you press the pigs noise he oinks or sings. The pig has 2 learning modes (as all FP smart stages toys do), and the second mode is more advanced with commands, as well as colors and numbers in Spanish.

You see this pig around daycares, preschools, doctors offices, etc. Its becoming a classic baby toy. And its no wonder, kids absolutely love it. Even my 4 year old wants to play with it. And because of the smart stages, there really is something for her to learn through playing with it too! (The Spanish words and reinforcing her number identification).

Its also good for learning to take turns - each child gets 5 coins, one of each color and they take turns putting in one coin as a time. So far, no squabbles over the pig. Its a good toy for cooperative play.

This is now my 3rd time purchasing this activity arch! My now 2 year old [who still loves this and all things O Ball] was 5 months old when we first purchased this at a Target in our area. It became his favorite toy [and his mommas too] !! It kept him occupied and happy in his stroller through many shopping trips or even just occasions where mommy and daddy needed him to be quiet lol. Unfortunately we somehow lost it while visiting grandmas house on vacation in Florida [we are from Massachusetts]. So there came our second purchase of this arch. Now, my son is 26 months old and a big brother to my 2 month old son. I am purchasing this a 3rd time so the boys can each have their own.  We have attached not only toys to this but sippy cups, snack holders etc. my husband will craft craft some way to attach the object of choice and voila! I love O Ball in general but this product is definitely in my top five favorites ofcjejf products!! It can also fit on certain high chairs, bouncy seats and play pens depending on the size of the arms you're attaching to. Don't think twice about this one, you will not regret it!

My son is 13 months and still fits in it perfectly.  We use it at the dinner table as a booster seat for feedings or for when he just wants to keep mommy company. It is easy to clean, soft and light weight material, and just convient. I only wish I would have purchased the tray as well.

Now that we are expecting baby #2 I am looking to purchase an additional one w/ the tray, since I am sure it will be a fight with my son to give up his chair.

Do yourself a favor and invest in the chair. You definitely will not regret it!

I can't believe how much my 9 month old son loves this table! He's favorite part is the little purple door, he loves to open and close it over and over again. This table has several activities with tons of nursery rhymes and songs with alphabet, numbers and colors. I know he will be using and learning from the learning table for years to come. It's sturdy so you little on can pull and stand and can be broken down to lay flat for little ones not quite ready to stand yet. Volume control, good on batteries. Dont waist your time buying cheap $10 toys here and there, make the investment with this one it's worth every penny!!

This book = happy baby and happy parents!

My children are now in preschool and first grade but I remember all too well how many questions I had and how much sleep disruptions impacted our household.  A dear friend (with twins and a toddler) gave me this 2 weeks after my first child was born and I have since passed on the advice to numerous friends.

The simple review of this book is that.....IT WORKS!  The principles help you to organize your babys sleep and wake times.  Best of all---when they cry you learn quickly exactly WHY!  You know when they are hungry--you know when they are sleepy.

Your baby will eat full feedings and not "snack" which gives them full bellys to sleep a full nap period.

In a nutshell...........this is simple advice....but timeless.  If you follow it consitently......your baby  WILL sleep through the night by about 9-10 weeks.  BLISS!!!

Enjoy these precious times!

My son didn't become interested in this toy until about 3 months old. However, I still struggle with how the manufacturer expects them to hold the handle with those ball things being so thick! Anyway, when I hold it up for him, he is completely captivated by the lights. This product has saved us from melt downs while on the go / in the car. It is compact and is so easy to just throw in my purse before we head out. I carry around a large tote as my daily purse, and didn't even realize I had it in there until about 2 weeks afterward! Our son is now 6.5 months old, and it still holds his attention for about 5-10 minutes when he's being fussy - just long enough to prepare a bottle and feed the guy!

This was so adorable!! Note that it is small-this is for newborns and up. It is definitely something that a baby can safely grasp and throw around without any damage. We LOVED it!

Hands down one of my favorite purchases on Amazon EVER! This thing is worth its weight in gold. We were having issues with my son waking up super early and ready to start the day. A friend of mine recommended this product. I was worried that my 2.5 year old was too young for this. However, he totally understood the concept and LOVES to let me know when his green light comes on! Ive watched the monitor, and he will actually sit in his crib and play until it comes on. Life saver!
