  • ghee for cooking
  •  1 bowl of washed and soaked rice  (soak a minm half hr)

Nuby Natural Touch™ Warmer and Sterilizer Review

How many of you moms had registered for a bottle warmer?  And how many of you moms had registered for a bottle sterilizer? What if I told you,  both warming and sterilizing can be done with one product :) Yes you heard right....when it comes to baby products and registry we all are over whelmed with the amount of extra products we will have to keep around house. Combining two most important needs about feeding have been done in a smart way by this new product called Nuby Natural Touch™ Warmer and Sterilizer.


Natural Touch™ Warmer and Sterilizer



The 2-in-1 design of this Natural Touch™ Warmer and Sterilizer evenly and safely warms breast milk, formula and baby food. Or you can use it as a quick and easy-to-use sterilizer for bottles and pacifiers.

warm baby food







It warms up bottle fast. I plan to take this along with me for my next trip. I remember we recently went to Hawaii and I had such difficult time warming/sterilizing bottles and literally impossible to warm baby food. This is so compact and such useful product.
    It sterilizes in just minutes! Simply use measuring cup (included) to add water, load the sterilizer and touch the button to start.






 The unit turns off automatically when water runs out. I let it stand for 10 mins to cool before opening the lid and voila.








This is such an awesome product and a must for every baby registry :)

Nûby™ Splash n' Catch™ Bathtime Fishing Set Review


When Annika was a baby, I had a checklist before I could turn on the tap for her bath. I would gather all supplies and try to make it as easy and quick as possible. Now bath time is a total different story and the checklist start with Bath toys. My daughter would not start taking her bath till she has gathered them all. Thanks to Nuby and all wonderful bath toys they have, it just makes bath time not only easy but lot more fun for babies. 


Nûby™ Splash n' Catch™ Bathtime Fishing Set

 

So when I got the chance to review Nûby™ Splash n' Catch™ Bath time Fishing Set, I was very excited. I knew my daughter would love this toy. I showed her the toy before bath and she could easily figure out how to play with it :)







The toy teaches coordination, development and adds in enjoyment. Annika loves interlocking the fish and turtles that come with the fishing set. She would throw the sea animals in water and then giggles while scooping them out of water hidden in bubbles. As with all Nuby toys, its god quality toy and any kid would love the eye catching colors.

Nuby Booster Seat Review

My daughter is 23 months old and she sometimes wants to sit around and do her artwork or read a story book. I used to put her in her high chair and it used to work for eating, drawing, snacking and all sort of things. But now she is a toddler who wants to sit on a booster seat and sit with me on our dining table. So when I got the chance to review Nuby Booster seat, I knew it would be perfect.


 
 

   My daughter has been carrying her seat all around the house as you can see from the pictures. She has few musical toys that she plays with, for which she has been using the booster seat on floor.  The seat can attach to your dining chair with safety straps. It also comes with child restraining straps.
   I love how this booster seat can both be used as a booster seat or a floor chair. This is so perfect for transitioning my little girl.


   I am so impressed with the quality of this booster seat. Its safe, durable and sturdy. It features a wide sturdy base and subtle contours that are safe and stylish. It can hold up to 65 lbs!  The seat can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge. Dry with a soft cloth.
