Loulou Lollipop Sippy Cup (llama) When I bought the silicone plate and bowl, I also bought this cute sippy cup with straw. I had heard it is better to let a child learn to drink from an open cup or straw, so I thought this was a good buy. Cost: $17.95 + tax My cost:... Continue Reading →
Noüka Divided Plate & Bowl I fell into the trap of trusting in silicone to be safe for feeding my baby. I bought these in store last October to feed my baby some solids. I knew better than to buy silicone, but I did it anyway. Cost: $20 (bowl) & $22 (plate) My cost: $15.99... Continue Reading →
