I received my copy of the portable pediatrician just in time as Ryan has been really sick for the first time. He has a little bout with the flu over Thanksgiving, but it lasted two or three days with no side effects. But now he has been sick for about a week. . . . → Read More: The Portable Pediatrician review

Munchkin is another one of the brands that has become a household name–one you know and love and one that absolutely belongs on your Baby Shower Registry!
You can search their products by developmental phase or by category and they have SO many great things to choose from! Our house is filled with Munchkin products. By far, our absolute favorite thing is the Snack Catcher. Seriously a must-have. We fill it up with snacks and Ryan carriers it around the house, in the car, around the store while we’re getting errands done–it’s perfect!

The top is designed so things don’t easily spill when your toddler drops it, throws it or shakes it! We also used their Fresh Food Feeder when Ryan was younger. Those things are great for teething, too.
Another item we received at one of our baby showers was the Diaper Bag Dispenser–it’s filled with little diaper bags that are scented and the perfect size for holding dirty diapers while you’re out and about. The dispenser clips on to your bag, too. LOVE THEM.

We have a number of their toys and teethers too. So when Munchkin joined us for the Baby Shower Gift Guide event, I was really excited! We received: Soft Tip Infant Spoons (6-pack), White Hot safety spoons (4-pack), 2 of the Snack Catcher bowls (mentioned above) and a bottle brush.


The White Hot Safety Spoons are awesome. The picture above shows how they work… if the food is too hot for your lil one (over 110), the spoons turn white! And the bottle brush is really handy with a suction bottom so it stands straight up–keeps it clean while bottle cleaning! The bottom of the handle also comes off and is a nipple brush! So it’s like a two-in-one deal.
Munchkin has been around since 1991, creating clever & innovative products that make life easier, safer and more enjoyable.
GIVEAWAY:
ONE amazingly lucky Baby Shower Gift Guide winner takes ALL! This will include the same feeding set we received: the spoon set, safety spoon set, snack catcher bowls and bottle brush!

I am SURE you’ve heard of Tommee Tippee. And if you haven’t?! You really should get out more and while you’re out… head to the store and try out some of their great products. We have a LOT of Tommee Tippee, I’m a big fan (so is Ryan).
They have a “closer to nature” line . . . → Read More: Baby Shower: Tommee Tippee giveaway

Ryan has FINALLY become interested in solids. He wants what we’re eating, will pick up his own food and feed himself, and does really well with chewing and swallowing. The problem? We always have to hold the bowl or plate or just feed him ourselves (which sometimes makes him grumpy)! Why? Because the first . . . → Read More: The Baby Diner giveaway!
