Tot Snob: Interview with Ron Vigdor

Tot Snob just published a great interview with Ron Vigdor, the President of BornFree. The most common questions about BPA and BornFree products were touched on including the question of all questions: Can you make a truly leak-proof sippy cup?

“With so much debate and controversy over BPA and it’s harmful affects, I decided to speak to Ron Vigdor, President of Born Free, maker of BPA free sippy cups and bottles. The importance of the discussion regarding BPA cannot be over stated. It is because of consumers like us who demand change that the industry and government has taken action.”

Notes From Motherhood: Happy Teething, Happy New Year!

For some reason I can’t at all remember when my first daughter started teething. Was the memory so horrific that I’ve blocked it out? That must be the case because my 3.5 month old has started teething. Isn’t this a little early? I’m assuming this means she’ll be an early reader as well.

Some of the symptoms are: eating around the clock, crankiness, not sleeping well…and that’s just me, the baby is having a hard time, too.

I’ve tried homeopathy, good old Tylenol (although she’s so young I’m keeping the amounts minimal) and lots of love. Of course I brought out her pink Teether Gum Brush for the occasion!

Bite as much as you want, honey! There are no BPAs!

She loves the feeling of the soft bristles against her ailing gums. Great mom that I am, I even popped it in the freezer so that she can cool down her gums a bit. Okay that’s not an original idea but I get points for remembering to do it, right?

Yes, I do keep flour in my freezer...Try to find the Teether Gum Brush!

Tonight I’ll be excitedly watching New Year’s Eve celebrations all over the world on television while tending to her little gums. Babysitters across the globe will be raking in the dough big time, too I’m sure.

I’m hoping that she’s not awake when the clock strikes midnight. Cross your fingers that I’ll enter 2010 with a peaceful, sleeping baby.

Happy New Year, everyone!

“Since I’m returning back to work next month, we’ve been having to supplement breastmilk with formula just to get Kaila used to a different routine. However, as some of you know I’ve been having some problems with the bottles that we currently use….”

Review: Is it Monday Already?

We’re so pleased to be featured on “Is it Monday Already?”  Lisa reviewed our Trainer Cup with great results!

BornFree BPA free Trainer Cups Review

“Bottle brushes cant even get into some of the hard plastic valves. BornFree cups have a great one piece valve insert unlike any other I have seen, The one piece design comes out of the bottle and is easily able to be completely cleaned.These trainer cups also feature a soft Silicone spout and removable handles for the purpose of transitioning from a bottle to cup. Once the child is comfortable you can remove the handles.

The soft spout allows the child to drink with out having to suck so hard.”

NowWhatBaby.com Review

Melissa from NowWhatBaby.com just posted a great review of our Trainer Cups and Teethers! As a mom of two young boys, Connor and Jackson, she’s an expert on all things toddler and I’m so excited that she’s given us her seal of approval.

Straight from Melissa:

“This one never leaks! It is so easy to clean. There are no straws with impossible to reach crannies or weird plastic suction pieces I can never put back on correctly. My little boy loves smoothies and many cups will not allow him to get the teeny tiny fruit through the spout – not the case with the soft spout on this cup.”
