Playtex Baby: Review & Prize Pack Giveaway!

As a new Mom, it's not always easy to navigate your way through the mountains of "baby stuff" you may or may not need for your little one.  I know for myself, I took the advice of other Moms with regards to what works and what doesn't; which brands to rely on, and which ones just don't measure up  When it came to a brand like Playtex Baby, I already knew it was one I could trust.  In fact, I remember picking up a set of Playtex Baby Drop-In Nursers when I was pregnant with D, and there was another Mom in the aisle who looked at what I was doing and told me "those ones are great!"  ... That, combined with the fact that I know my own Mom had trusted the Playtex Baby brand so many years ago for my brother and I, was all I needed to hear.

When I was offered the chance to review the new Playtex Infant Li'l Gripper Straw Train Cup, I jumped at the chance!  I would have truly loved a product like this when training D to use a straw.  The cup has an innovative design with easy grip handles for little hands, and a squeezable base that allows Mom to push the beverage up the straw, so that baby gets a taste and will begin to suck.  The cup was designed by a child-development expert and helps children aged four months and up to strengthen their motor skills. The Li'l Gripper Straw Train Cup features the clever Twist 'n Click lid we've come to know and love from Playtex Baby cups - I can certainly verify that it's Spill-Proof, Leak-Proof and Break-Proof!

Playex Baby sent me an awesome package along with the Straw Train Cup, including:

·         Playtex® First Sipster® Trainer Cup

·         Playtex® Drop-Ins Original Nurser

·         Playtex® Ortho-Pro® pacifier and Playtex® Ortho-Pro® pacifier with sterilizing cover

·         Playtex® Binky® Silicone pacifier

All of these products are BPA and Pthalate free, making them safe for everyone.  They also all come in a variety of colors and sizes, to suit the smallest baby and grow with your child.  I love that!  Why switch styles or brands when you know that something is tried and true?  As baby grows, you're able to just move up to the next sized pacifier or a larger bottle or cup and there is no adjustment period, as your child will already be comfortable using it.  One of the best features of the Ortho-Pro pacifier with sterilizing cover is the quick, easy cleaning process!  It's so simple, you just fill the cover up to the line with water, microwave for 2 minutes on high, let it cool and drain - then you're ready to go!  It sure beats having to boil a pot of water on the stove when Mom is in a hurry to get out the door. ;)  I have to say, I was truly impressed with every single product in this package, and can see myself using each of them for a future little one.

The great news is.... One of you lucky readers has the opportunity to WIN a package of cups, pacifiers and a nurser just like the one Playtex Baby sent me!  (Jumping up and down yet?  I would be!  Seriously, this stuff is awesome!)
