Tommee Tippee ~ New To Us (review)

Have you heard of Tommee Tippee? I hadn't until just recently and decided to sign up to try out a bottle and sippy cups for my kiddos.  Of course, I have to be honest here. When I see new brand names claiming to sell outstanding items for my kids, I tend to get a little skeptical. "How is one bottle possibly better than another?"


I'm happy to report, that we've been using Tommee Tippee products in our home for a little over a week and I, as a mom, couldn't be happier with them.

First up, I'll tell you about our experience with the Closer To Nature bottles. We were sent one bottle and one pack of 3 months+ bottle nipples for Eliana to try out.

Initially, I thought everything about this bottle looked to be unique but I wasn't sure how Eliana would take to a different bottle and if the nipple would be effective in reducing gassiness. After using it, though, I was quite impressed.

The bottle is molded in such a way that it makes holding it much easier for me. (When Eliana begins to hold her own bottle, this shape will be much easier for her to grasp than a round bottle.) Also, the bottle's nipple is made to bend and flex with Eliana's natural feeding habits. I was a tad bit confused by this at first as I had never witnessed her feeding from a bottle that way. However, she was far less messy using this bottle and seemed less fussy overall.  It was actually pretty neat and I was happy that she was so content.

Alex was sent a set of Explora Truly Spill Proof Drink Cups in blue/green. These cups are completely different than the other sippy cups I've seen in stores. They're made for children ages 24 months+ and are specifically designed to help older toddlers learn how to drink from a glass.

Alex has been drinking rather successfully from these cups and has a new-found boldness for drinking out of my glass. (Which always makes me giggle.) He's mostly excited to be able to use his own "big boy" cups now that he has the hang of it. However, the "mom" in me really enjoys these cups for my own reasons. I love how they keep his drinks cold for long periods of time and that they're spill proof so he can still drink like a "big boy" on the go without making a mess of my diaper bag. Awesome.

Did I mention Tommee Tippee's products are BPA free? 'Nuff said, right? I love that they're safe for my children to use but affordable at the same time. There's also an entire line of items beyond the bottle and sippy cup I reviewed. I'm very curious about their pacifiers and tableware so if you happen to check those out, you'll have to come back here and tell me what you think. 

If you'd like to try these out for yourself, you can visit their website or check your local Babies"R"Us store. Also go ahead and click to read the Company Background to learn more about Tommee Tippee.

I received the reviewed items from Tommee Tippee in exchange for a write up as a reviewer for the Mom Bloggers Club. The opinions expressed are my own and may be different from others.
