The Wean Machine

I thought we were ahead of the game with the Beaba BabyCook. Seems like a great little device but we've recently heard about "The Wean Machine". The Wean Machine is a portable baby food maker. It includes a spoon and aims to help save time and money. It's easily sterilized and top shelf dishwasher safe. For best results, the makers of wean machine suggest using soft ripe fruits and well cooked vegetables. The Wean Machine is made in the UK but is available for purchase in the US. Created by a busy mom, Tilly Beazeley. I love her web site because she also lists a bunch of recipes.

Ralph Lauren Baby Girl Outfits

I am so in love with Ralph Lauren for kids lately. Since we really only post three items at a time I'm going to have to write three separate posts. One for boys, one for girls and this one for babies. They have a regatta collection that is so cute. I walked past their shop on 72nd and Madison the other day and just thought the outfits were adorable.

Yummy Mummy

My job has it's down sides once in awhile but for the most part I really love what I do and who I work with and for. One of the nicest perks about my job is that I work in Manhattan and am on the Upper East Side most days. The Upper East Side is also home to stores like Barney's and Bloomingdale's and museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim. I love it.
I've been really sad to see stores going out of business. Stores that have been around forever on Madison or Lexington Avenue are open one day and closed the very next. I saw it coming with some stores (like this one deli that started to charge $10 for 1/2 a sandwich) and didn't see at all with others. The good news out of all of this is that it gives new stores the opportunity to make their move.
Last week I was parked in between a bunch of places that I was trying to get to and I noticed that a Yummy Mummy was opening up. It's located at 1201 Lexington Ave between 81st and 82nd street. Looks like it's going to be a pretty cool store for breast feeding goods of all kinds. Nothing like this has really ever existed in the area before so it should be pretty interesting and I hope that it does well! What do you think?

7th Generation Baby Products

I like 7th generation products. I buy their natural feminine products (read: tampons). I just think if somethings going to be so close to you, it would be good if it was organic or all natural. I'll probably have the same concept in mind when I have children some day. My friend got a ton of 7th Generation Products for her baby shower and I thought it was such a great idea.

Boon's Squirt Spoon

It's a spoon, it's a bowl...it's a squirt?! Whatever it is, it sure seems handy for babies on the go! It's fine when you have to request an extra bowl at a restaurant but what about when you're on a long drive and have to pack a bowl? I like the idea of this. You fill the bulb and basically squeeze a little so that food comes down into the spoon. It also comes with a protective cover in case baby doesn't eat everything and you need to keep things covered in between feedings. I think it saves space in the diaper bag and also great for one handed feeding. What do you think? Would you buy one?

P.S. It's BPA free, Phthalate free and PVC free.

Bloom High Chair

I love these high chairs! I think they're so hip looking and they are great for babies from 0 - 36 months. I think the colors they come in are great and offer some variety to your regular high chair. Holds up to 79 pounds. The tray is super sized and has a deep lip to prevent spills.
