Product Recommendation Requests thread

[Deleted]

I know I'm always looking for recommendations, I thought others might as well. So please post your requests for product recommendations here and people can reply. I hope it helps someone!

I need recommendations on:

1) Toddler sized lunch box for a mom whose daycare can't accommodate child allergies very well so she's sending her own lunches/breakfast/snacks. (not me)
2) Hearing protection for kids between 9mo and hopefully a few years old.

For #2 we have Baby Banz ear protection from Amazon. We like them. They say 0-2 but fit older too. Heck, they even fit on me .

We have this crib mattress www.target.com/p/colgate-classica-iii-foam-crib-mattress-white/-/A-14163232#prodSlot=medium_1_3&term=crib+mattress
It was listed highly in baby bargains (2 years ago).  Its holding up well.  My daughter suffers from princess and the pea syndrome and like a mattress pad on top.  We use this one.http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12334193&cp=&parentPage=search

We use the motorola video monitor.  No complaints.

Levana Stella monitor.

I followed Lucie's list's advice to just get a cheap mattress and have no regrets. I think it's Safety 1st brand.

@sessalee re: #2 I bought Moggies Ear Muffs for DD. They are great, a little cheaper than Baby Banz, and shipping is very fast. www.moggiesearmuffs.com/product/child-hearing-protection/

Not a request, but a rec.

I'm loving the new Cetaphil baby wash and shampoo. My kids' hair is so soft! Only complaint is it's pretty thin/runny, so I feel like I waste a lot squeezing it out of the bottle. Would be better in a pump.

We have Pelter Junior Earmuffs for DD. She loves them.

@sessalee DD1 uses a Skip Hop lunch bag with Rubbermaid Lunch Blox. We can fit a sandwich container, fruit container, small container, yogurt, and probably another small container if we needed to. It says spot clean, but I run it through the wash and air dry.

countthestars we have a motorola video monitor. no complaints.

DD2 had thrush and a pretty rough yeast rash all over her face. We were using oral Nystatin and Triple Paste AF (amazing stuff for yeast diaper rashes!) on her face, but it was really messy.  

Someone here recommended grapefruit seed extract for the laundry so I began googling and found that it could also be used orally and on the face.  THIS STUFF IS AWESOME.  I was at the Container Store so I grabbed one of these bottles and made a solution of 15 drops of extract to 1oz of water.  I dropped it on a q-tip to wipe DD's tongue several times and day and wiped her face and my nipples with it on a cotton ball after each feeding for a couple of days.  Gone!  I had stopped the Nystatin at this point because she kept spitting it up, so the GSE got rid of it completely.  I also added 10-15 drops to each rinse cycle of laundry to be sure there's no lingering yeast.  I also ordered GSE tablets for me to take as a prophylactic.

We have the sealy soybean, but it's pretty hard so now she uses this mattress topper: www.amazon.com/Milliard-Ventilated-Memory-Portable-Mattress/dp/B0089ME18S  

We actually have the crib size and the pack n play size, so when we travel she's essentially sleeping on the same thing. I think it's helped!

Got nothing concerning the mattress, but I second the Dropcam.
