Infant

This is one of those things that looks so ridiculous you can’t imagine actually putting it on. But that’s the beauty of it: it’s totally hilarious! This weird glove has everything from teethers to rattles to (non-breakable) mirrors on it — plus a teeny little “Bobo Baby” animal book. The glove is made from a variety of fabrics, with a soft velour-and-jersey lining for whoever is wearing it.

When this gift set arrived, we had a bit of a stampede to review it. The kids just loved the brightly colored kitty, not to mention the little bag o’sparkling stuff around her neck. From a mama’s point of view, we didn’t mind letting them test the products with wild abandon: made by Herban Renewal of Abilene, all of the lotions and potions in this set are natural. And yes, they smell divine.

These 100% natural and renewable baby wipes are an excellent idea for environmentally conscious parents with sensitive babies.  Free of harsh synthetic chemicals and preservatives, the wipe solution contains only plant-based ingredients derived from organic and natural resources.  The only trouble is….they kind of only work on “light spills”. In other words, if your baby does a serious deed in his diaper, these natural jobbies aren’t going to get you very far. We discovered this the hard way. While we truly adore natural products, we want them to work in a pinch (or, in our case, a smelly public restroom). Sadly, these crumbled under pressure. So while they’re not crummy, for the price we just can’t recommend them for anything beyond a quick tinkle stop.

This is one of those things that’s heavily marketed to parents as a way to “nurture young minds, hearts, and bodies” (per the company’s web site). And what parent can resist that? Well….you.
