Just What the Doctor Ordered

12/17/13 | Giveaways & Reviews

[box type=”shadow” align=”aligncenter” ]Disclosure: I was provided with products in order to facilitate this review though my love of the Doc goes way back (to 9 months).[/box]

Did you hear Dr. Brown’s has a whole line of products for feeding solids now?

I am SO EXCITED.

See us and the Doc go way back- 9 months to be exact.

I was being the neurotic first-time mom everyone knew I would be and started having the bottle conversation with my friends who are already moms relatively early in the pregnancy. After talking to them and some independent research we decided to try Dr. Brown’s bottles. We put them on the gift registry for the baby shower and got a few sets of Dr. Brown’s bottles and another set from a different brand. I swear by these bottles! The only time my son had issues with gas/reflux, was when he had been drinking out of a non-Dr. Brown’s bottle. Although there are a few parts to keep clean, it’s worth it and made easier when I use a Dr. Brown’s Microwave Sterilizer Bag. The containers are also great for storing breast milk/formula.

Now that my son is experimenting with solids I love being able to give him a bowl of cheerios or a plate with apple slices or put milk in his sippy cup and know that he is using products engineered specifically for him.

Dr. Brown’s has two sippy cups to choose from, one with a soft mouth piece that helps with the bottle to cup transition. The second cup is what I call the big boy cup. It does not have a soft tip. Both cups have a piece that you can remove that gives the cup(s) handles, perfect for chubby little hands and fingers. My son loves to throw his but the durable plastic used can withstand even my little monster’s “I’m done” throws.

The bowls, plates and utensils are perfect for him to start feeding himself. The partitioned plates are perfect for helping me foster the importance of nutrition. He loves when I put different colors in the partitions and I love that some of those colors are veggies. The bowls are the perfect size for just about anything you may want to feed your baby. I really like the colors/designs and have felt very comfortable washing all in the dishwasher. I see myself continuing to build on his Dr. Brown’s collection.

  • When I learned about @openbookfoundation I was in awe! Their mission? To bridge the literacy gap amongst low-income elementary schools. To date, 200,000 books have been donated to elementary schools. 
When they pinged me about a giveaway of @michelleobama's book, I wasn't sure what I would do. Then, all of a sudden it hit me! Who is my favoritest teacher that continually amazes me?! So today, I'd like to say a great big thanks to the foundation for providing me with a gift card to be able to provide 5 copies of Becoming to the student library of @hustlesway. Kymberli, thank you for all you do. Your student library is just what the kids need and exactly what we need to see out in this world. You are changing lives and the impact on our future is apparent! Happy reading to your students! #BecauseofHer #MamiReads #TeachersRock #letsreads
  • Running around today taking care of errands and commitments. Of course, these days I go nowhere without my shawl (I think I forgot to mention that in the post that's up on the blog). Had to get some shades because this Florida sun was not playing well with my retinas. Sheesh!

Hope you're having a fabulous Saturday, friends! #IyawoChronicles #Mamihood #Whites
  • Celebratory ice cream for a long awaited dream come true. The gifts keep coming as does the gratitude. She gave me a fake smile because she was eyeballing my cone 😏. I love sharing my wins with her. She asks "how does it feel?" And some days I have no words but I keep talking about how unreal it seems, how smoothly everything has been, how grateful I am. Sharing in Black excellence, man. It's a beautiful thing. #staytuned #Mamihood #Disrupt #BlackGirlMagic
  • Here are some of the ecoutrements you might see me in these days. My manillas (bangles), my elekes & ide (religious beads - courtesy of the fabu beader @sainzcorey). I'm answering some questions on the blog about this topic today. #linkinbio #IyawoChronicles
  • There are intense negotiations currently taking place as someone attempts to regain control of her homework while someone else is refusing to move out of the way. I'm not sure how this will end, folks. I just heard the cat took control of the pencil too. #CatsofInstagram #ChichiMinervaRosario
  • These pets should have their own reality TV show. They are both old and set in their ways. And they make me giggle. #ChicoAlbusMendes #ChichiMinervaRosario #Puggle #InstaPets
