Nuby Bath Time Clock & Thermometer Review




As adults we all are used to hot baths.  But when it comes to a baby, it’s so difficult to find the right temperature.  Most moms are so scared that the water might be too hot that they end up making it cold which is not safe either. A daily bath not just cleans and freshens up the baby but also relaxes the baby. So when I got an opportunity to review Bath Time Clock & Thermometer, I was not the only one excited about it.  Look at my baby’s excitement before bath J





This might look like a bath toy to the baby but this fun product has so many useful features. Its unique 3-in-1 design incorporates a clock, a timer that counts up or down, and a thermometer that displays in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Not only that, the Bath Time Clock & Thermometer floats and will alert you if the water is too hot or too cold. Isn’t that all a mom needs J It also automatically counts up when the sensor contacts the water so you know how long your baby has been in the bath.






My daughter loves playing with bath toys, but most bath toys catch mould fast.  So I was always scared when my daughter would try to put bath toys in her mouth. But this Bath Time Clock & Thermometer is made in a way to not catch mould at all. Now isn’t that fabulous.

Tear-Free Rinse Pail Review

Bath time should be fun time for a baby. But in our household, it was like a huge undertaking. Even after using all kind of tear-free shampoos, cute looking toys, my little girl didn't like any soap in her eyes. She would start crying and I would have to rush up and bath time would have to end like that. Then I tried the Tear-Free Rinse Pail, a smart and innovative Nuby product designed to make bath time easier and more enjoyable for both the parent and little one.





 Comfortable grip makes it easier to hold, and a deep, slender base can be used for easy filling in shallow water. It has a unique tear-free edge that is soft, rubber like and contoured so that it can be gently placed against your baby's skin to help prevent water from running into their eyes. After using it for a few days, I found that it works the best, if we elevate baby's head a little bit, so that water goes at the back while rinsing hair rather than on baby's face. Try lifting little bit more than as shown in above picture.
     My little girl has not cried since I started using this pail. Now she opens her eyes, looks and plays with toys as I wash her hair.  If you want to make bath time more fun for your baby, you can buy this pail at :

Nuby Flower Child Snack Keeper Review and Giveaway



I always make sure my daughter is on her high chair while having lunch and dinner. But when it comes to snacks or fruits on the go, it was always messy. I can’t really blame her. It’s really tough for little babies to hold their snack cups while they have just learnt to walk. A little twist of hand and all snacks would be on the floor. Now when I have Nuby snack keeper, snack time is no more messy. These colorful fun looking cups are not only attractive for little kids but also useful.








As soon as she saw this snack keeper, she loved it. She didn't take much time in figuring how to get snacks out of cup.






The cup keeps kid-sized snacks inside the container instead of on the floor or car seat. The soft silicone flaps make it easy to grab snacks without spilling.





The rubber soft top comes out for easy cleaning.




How many times have you faced a similar situation, where your little one asks for a snack just before leaving for a party and you are scared she would make a mess and you would have to change her again? After using Nuby snack keeper, my daughter didn't drop a single snack. I asked her where the snacks are. And she pointed to her mouth :)
