MAM Oral Care Bunny review!

This week we received a wonderful parcel from MAM! And boy have we been busy testing! 

This is the oral care rabbit! He's super cute, and super effective! We struggle in our house to get little monkey to open his mouth, so it's all guesswork going with a toothbrush! Never actually knowing what's reached and what isn't! Also, even though I know it is soft bristle, I still worry about hurting little monkeys gums! So receiving this I breathed a huge sigh of relief! We put it into action straight away, and have been using ever since!

The design is fantastic. It is eye catching for the child and very cute! The slot is easy to fit your finger into, with no faffing about. So it's just as quick as using the toothbrush!

In actual use, it speeds up brushing time! Rather than fighting to get his mouth open its straight in! I feel a lot safer using the bunny as I can tell how far into his mouth I am, and clean all of his gums, so we don't miss anything. All the while my little monkey is distracted by having something fun in his face rather than a stick!

It's really simple to clean too, no harder than rinsing your toothbrush, and no bristles to get in between where it all dries hard - yuck!

Since we have been using this, toothy time has been much more relaxed. As a result, monkey is happy, mummy is happy, and we have a better oral care routine! What more could you ask for from it?!

This highly recommended product is available at good retailers such as the MAM online store, amazon, and toys r us! It's available in blue or pink, so if you have a prince or princess you are catered for! 

Thanks to MAM for another wonderful creation!

Starlight Mobile review!

The lovely people at Mattel have sent us a wonderful new mobile for our little monkey!

It is the Fisher Price Starlight Cot Mobile and is available now from Boots, Argos and other good stockists - see http://www.fisher-price.com/en_GB/Products/FindaProduct/index.html?&catCode=cribs_mobiles,

First up, the style. It is a standard cot attachment, with a long arm. Off of this arm are some adorable teddy bears holding onto mirrored stars, with more stars underneath. On the unit there are 2 additional coloured stars, which light up. All fairly straight forward. However, on top of the arm. There is a light. And over this light, cut outs of the moon and stars! This makes for a gorgeous display on the ceiling of the nursery! The shiny stars on the mobile also reflect the light which bounces around the room.

Now, the functions! No more on/off buttons for us! On the arm of this mobile, you have many options to have the mobile how you want it! Control the lights, sounds, spin, volume... It allows the parent to provide an atmosphere the specific child requires. 

The noises are fantastic. There is the music with well known soothing tunes, and also nature sounds. The other half and I almost fell asleep ourselves while those were on!

Our little monkey can be a bit of a terror sometimes when it comes to sleeping - wanting to be rocked or driven around. So to be honest, I was a little skeptical. However, he loved it! He watched the lights and was calmed by the sounds enough for us to have a peaceful bedtime!

In all honesty, this is a fantastic little mobile. It does what it should - provides a calming environment for baby and aids their sleep. What more could we ask for as parents?!
