@TommeeTippee_NA Closer to Nature Comfi-Neck Bibs

This post is brought to you by Tommee Tippee. All opinions are mine.

Do you have a child like mine - whether baby or toddler - that no matter which bib you put on, somehow they still manage to get food everywhere, including on their clothes UNDER the bib? Sometimes, I wonder why I even bother with putting the bib on in the first place....

But now when I want to protect my son's clothes, I turn to the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Comfi-Neck Cream Bibs. Or remeber that sad neck rash many babies get from milk, drool or spit up dribbling down their neck and getting stuck in their neck folds? Prevent that rash with these bibs too!!

How? Well, these Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Comfi-Neck Cream Bibs feature a unique dribble catcher that absorbs moisture and is ideal for drips or teething. Thse bibs are super soft and absorbent so it prevents rashes AND protects your baby's clothes as well.

And we all know how hard it can be to put a bib on a squirmy baby! Well, these Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Comfi-Neck  Bibs also feature a convenient neck fastening that makes it easier to put bib on and take off baby!

PLUS, how cute are they!! They offer three colors - blue, pink and cream! We received the neutral Cream color and I love the reversible sides!

If you have been searching for a bib that stops that dribble, Comfi-Neck bibs work awesome and I so wish they were invented back when my children were babies!

They are classically simple, reversible and will match all of Baby's outfits AND stop the dribble, food and drool from getting everywhere!

Celebrating National Breastfeeding Awareness Month & Sharing My Story! @TommeeTippee_NA

* This post is brought to you by tommee tippee. All opinions are mine. *

August is National Breastfeeding Awareness Month and I am so happy to share my breastfeeding stories and support other moms! I will be the first to admit that breastfeeding is extremely hard and time consuming BUT SO WORTH IT!!!

For me, my breastfeeding journey started with my first child and started and ended as a struggle. I just didn't produce enough milk to keep him gaining weight and he refused to nurse anymore at 7 months. With my second child, I also struggled producing enough and worked hard to pump and feed, pump and feed. It was so hard but I knew how important it was for my baby to have breast milk. My hard work paid off and I nursed until almost 2 years old.

And then with my third child, I prayed and hoped I would be able to produce enough right off the bat. I sought out a lactation consultant, took medication and pumped from the start. Sadly, I still struggled with producing enough and pumping once again became my constant companion. Luckily, I learned about the Pump and Go from tommee tippee to help me get through the tough months!

The Pump and Go set allows for easy pumping with your favorite breast pump into bags that can be used for pumping, freezing and then also used to feed! It made the whole routine of pumping, feeding, and storing so much easier on me and with this set, I never lost a drop of that hard-worked for breast milk. To me, every drop was precious and I was so happy to not have to transfer around the breast milk fifty times every time I pumped, stored and fed!

By using a single pouch to pump, store, warm and feed, there's no need to transfer milk at any stage, so you'll never lose a precious drop. If you're a busy breastfeeding mom who wants to pump, this All in One Starter Set contains a complete solution to help keep things simple.

The set contains all moms need to turn their favorite pump into part of the Pump and Go System ensuring you protect every drop of breast milk. It includes bottles, the Pouch Bottle, storage container for the pouches for the freezer, pouches with spot for the name, date and extra info, and a great Bottle Warmer! With this set, you are ready to pump at work, at home, anywhere!

I definitely recommend the The Pump and Go for all busy breastfeeding moms - it takes away the extra stress of wasting any milk! By using a single pouch to pump, store, warm and feed, there’s no need to move milk at any stage, so you’ll never lose a precious drop! It makes a great gift any new mom and make being a new parent just a little easier!

If you struggled breastfeeding like I did, pump at work or just want an easier system for pumping and storing, then I totally recommend the Pump and Go system from tommee tippee!

And know that so many others are out there struggling, working to survive another day with a newborn and we support YOU on your journey!! To all breastfeeding moms out there, Happy National Breastfeeding Awareness Month! YOU ARE AWESOME!

Accessorize for the 4th of July with @TommeeTippee_NA Stars & Stripes Collection

This post is brought to you by tommee tippee. However, all opinions are mine (I really do love tommee tippee products!)

How are you celebrating the 4th of July this year???

Do you like to dress up in red, white and blue, do fireworks, or head to the lake for a long weekend away? 

We like to do ALL of the above but sometimes it is hard to find ways for the young children to get festive on the 4th. But this year we are definitely prepared because we have fun, festive items from tommee tippee and their Stars & Stripes collection!

Positive, energetic and bursting with pride, the Stars & Stripes baby products celebrate everything American. It’s a great way to involve your little one in national events and kick-start their passion for the good old U S of A. They have a great collection for all ages from pacifiers for the wee little ones to the insulated tumblers for the older children (and for keeping hydrated on the hot July day!).

Kill two birds with one stone this 4th - keep your baby sucking contently all day AND be patriotic with the Stars & Stripes pacifiers.

The Stars & Stripes Pacifier collection from Tommee Tippee has been created with a red, white and blue motif to shout out a love for the US of A. The Stars & Stripes pacifiers all feature a symmetrical orthodontic nipple, designed to encourage acceptance. If your baby is calm, then so are you - now that’s what we call awesome!

And my family's favorite is the Insulated Straw Tumbler from the Stars & Stripes collection! Just flip up and go!

Keeping your little adventurer happy and hydrated is easy with this big insulated Stars & Stripes straw cup. The straw flips down to stay clean and stop spills, while the easy-grip sides mean it’s perfect for drinking on the go. Perfect for your future All-American superstar!

We love bringing this straw tumbler on walks to keep hydrated when it is hot and it will be perfect to drink from this 4th of July at the cabin! It is easy for all my children to drink from and I love that it is no-spill so it can survive the car ride too! My kids were begging (and fighting) for this straw tumbler from this first moment they saw it!

I love that it keeps their drinks cool because they like a cold drink after our daily walks! What a fun way to celebrate the 4th! Thanks tommee tippee!

Buy It:

You can purchase the Stars & Stripes product line exclusively instore at Babies R Us and they will be available instore at Target in late July.

Create a Little Fashionista with MODA Pacifiers from @TommeeTippee_NA

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Nothing is more fun for me than to dress up little baby girls! There is just so many cute clothing, shoes, accessories and NOW even cute pacifiers for little girls!!!

With MODA pacifiers, any girl can become a fashionista - no matter how young they are!!

I received two super cute MODA pacifiers with YOLO and Little Lady on them and I was instantly in love and was thinking of all the cute outfits these pacifiers would look great with!

But honestly, even with my obsession with cute baby things, the first thing that struck me was that tommee tippee offers a satisfaction guarantee or your MONEY BACK because the MODA pacifier features a symmetrical orthodontic nipple which has been specially designed to help optimize baby acceptance! WOW!! You don't see that often with any baby item and I know from experience that one baby item never seems to work with every baby! I love that more babies accept this pacifier the first time - it gives worried and tired parents a break!!

And although little Penelope had a much different shaped pacifier that she was using prior to the MODA pacifiers, after a few sucks, she didn't seem to mind this new one!! Plus, it was so cute with the little polka dots and Little Lady written on it!

The MODA pacifier collection from Tommee Tippee has been designed to make your baby stand out from the crowd. The collection features fashion-forward designs for those who think life is one long runway and that you have big dreams for baby. Plus, the reversible nipple makes it easier for babies to correctly insert the pacifier. It is available in 2 age stages – 0-6m and 6-18m and all pacifiers are BPA-free for ultimate reassurance.

So don't let your little fashionista leave the house without the perfect fashionable MODA pacifier that matches her celebrity personality and shows off her fashion sense - even at a very young age!! :) 

Buy It:

You can purchase MODA pacifiers at Target for $5.99 for a 2 pack.

It Takes A Village...To Breastfeed!

This post is brought to you by tommee tippee and the tommee mommee program. All opinions are my own! I really love tommee mommee products!

Yes, I am sure you have heard it a million times...

Breastmilk is A-MAZING!

But it isn't always that simple to produce. I was always set on nursing my babies but with each one, I struggled to produce enough milk to help them gain weight. I struggled for years feeling like a failure but thanks to my "village", I was able to breastfeed my daughter (with supplementing for a couple months) for almost two years and I am still nursing my 1 year old son!

So who's my "Village"? 

Well, my #1 person is my husband. He was there supporting me every step of the way with every child, every tear, every "failure". He encourage me to keep going, get help when I needed it and give me the breaks that I needed when I needed them!

Then there is the professionals that helped, guide and encourage me like my lactation consultant who answered my tearful phone call at 10 at night when I was feeling so low. Or my midwifes who came over extra days to weigh my son, contacted other professional for advice and didn't give up on me!

And then there are the great companies out there that make awesome products to help out busy, tired mommas like me! Products like great bottles, great breast pumps and so much more were essential to my success of nursing!

When my son needed to supplement, I turned to my trusty Double Electric Breast Pump from tommee tippee. It is by far my favorite infant product that they offer!

It is so comfortable to use, easy to figure out, and the pump comes with SO MUCH STUFF! Using this pump helped me increase my supply, supplement to help my children's weight gain and get out of the house once in awhile! :) So in other words, it kept me sane during a very stressful time! 

Included in the Box:

One double electric pump, four spare anti-backflow valves, two 5 oz. newborn bottles with lids, two 9 oz. full-size bottles with lids, four 2 oz. milk storage pods, two 4 oz. milk storage pods, storage tray, insulated case, six breast pads, carrying bag, rechargeable batteries

My favorite feature is that it is so convenient! The pump features five adjustable expression settings ensure gentle and efficient expressing, and the pump features a digital clock and timer for convenient use.

Plus, it has a a carrying bag for holding everything safely and also an insulated case if you need to keep milk cold. Also, I really love the storage pods and tray. It makes it so easy to store smaller amounts of milk (like to use for healing ailments and infections!). I have never seen that in a pump kit before!

In addition, they include FOUR bottles in 5 oz and 9 oz and breast pads! This pump is worth it just for the bottles! I have used them with all three of my children and they are definitely my go-to bottle! 

They really thought of EVERYTHING with this pump and accessories!

The pumping itself was comfortable and easy to do. I love that it has five levels and it also counts the time for you! The soft silicone cups flex and stretch to fit comfortably and it is really easy to clean and assemble!

I definitely recommend this closer to nature Double Electric Breast Pump if you are new pumper and are just starting out! This kit has EVERYTHING you need to get started supplementing and feeding including bottles and storage pods! Plus, it is really easy to use and you can either pump one side or double!

Head into Summer with tommee tippee!

As a tommee tippee ambassador, I was given product and also compensation for sharing with you. However. all opinions are mine!

The weather is heating up, school is out for most children and travel plans are on the minds of all parents! However, so is the worry and stress of traveling with children!

But this summer, tommee tippee wants to make it a little easier to travel with their toddler line of tableware!

We are big fans of tommee tippee products in our house and my two older children LOVE their toddler feeding line including their Easy Scoop Feeding Bowls With Lid and Spoon, Section Plates, Heat Sensing Spoons, Pop Up Storage Cups, Easi-Roll Bib, and Feeding Spoons. These travel-friendly products are great for bringing snacks along during the busy summer months!

Check out more info about MY favorite tommee tippee products for summer travel:

Easy Scoop Feeding Bowls With Lid and Spoon

Feeding on the go this summer? Then I highly recommend these  Explora Easy Scoop Feeding Bowls with Lid and Spoon for all your picnics, road trips, family vacations and camping trips this summer!

These Easy Scoop Feeding Bowls with Lid and Spoon pack includes 2 bowls, a leak-proof lid and an easy-grip spoon. They are a must-buy for easy feeding on the go. The easy-scoop triangular base helps with self-feeding and they fit with the Easi-Mat too, meaning less mess and less stress for you.

I love these because I always hate throwing a spoon in my travel bag and then losing it or thinking about how dirty it got while we traveled. The bowl and spoon (and lid!) stay conveniently together and are ready to feed at any time!

Easi-Roll Bibs

Perfect for in the home or on the go, Easi-Roll Bibs are probably the only bibs you'll ever need!

These Easi-Roll bibs are innovative and convenient, with a crumb catcher to collect mess and a dimpled reverse to encourage air flow and prevent irritation on delicate skin. They also roll up easily for storage and travel.

I love how they are nice and big so they cover a lot of your baby's clothes and they are easy to clean!

Heat Sensing Spoons

Help your baby discover solid foods safely this summer with Explora Heat Sensing Spoons!

These Heat Sensing Spoons change color from red to yellow if food is too hot – ideal if you’re using a microwave to heat food, as you can tell at a glance when it’s safe to feed your baby and when it’s not.

I love how innovative these spoons are and how I never have to worry about my baby burning his mouth or tongue again! When I am doing a million things at once and forget to check the temperature of his food, these Explora spoons have got my back and will remind me that the food is too hot by the color change!

Transition to Sippy Cups Easily with the NEW Tip It Up Collection #tommeemommee

I am a Tommee Mommee, ambassador for tommee tippee, and am compensated for this post. All opinions are mine.

My third baby, my 8 month old son, and has been eating solids for a couple months now. It was an easy transition and he eats like a teenager now!

However, what hasn't been an easy transition is breast to cup. My son has had bottles before when he was younger but primarily breastfeeds. Now when I try to introduce a sippy cup to him, he refuses to drink out of it. I thought from having bottles in the past that it would be a easier transition but every time I put the sippy cup in his mouth, he pushes it back out or just bites on it.

If you are having troubles transitioning like I am from bottle/breast to cup, then you will be excited as I am about the new bundles of joy added to the tommee tippee family!

I am so excited to announce the new Tip It Up Collection, available for a limited time in Babies R Us. The Tip It Up cup set is specially designed for baby’s first sips providing a smooth transition from breast or bottle to cup drinking. For babies 3 months and older, the bottle to cup set contains two feeding bottles and one first sips transitioning cup.

With Closer to Nature Bottles, switching between breast and bottle feeding becomes easier than ever before. Closer to Nature’s award-winning range of Bisphenol A free (BPA) baby bottles are designed to promote content and easy feeding times for parents and baby. When your little one is ready to move on from the bottle the first sips cup is a great transitioning cup. A super soft spout is gentle on your baby’s sensitive gums and easy-grip handles fit perfectly in their tiny hands. You’ll also love the non-spill valve that keeps baby, and everything nearby nice and dry.

This makes a great baby gift or great set for when you know the transition is happening with your baby soon!
