Baby Love!
As many of you remember, I teased about a wonderful product launch I was attending in December last year, but couldn't reveal all the details at the time.
I had the pleasure of attending the U.S. product launch of well known and much loved #1 selling U.K. brand, Tommee Tippee®! I enjoyed the up close and personal opportunity to interact with the folks behind the brand (phenomenal team!), the chance to see the line of products set up for various age groups, there was even a stand up comedian, but the absolute highlight was that beverages (water and green tea ladies, NOT those kind of beverages!) were served from Tommee Tippee® Weaning Cups! It certainly made a room full of moms and bloggers giggle, myself included!
In the last couple of months, there were a lot of 'little butterflies' in my circle between friends and family! All the new babies meant one thing, new recruits in my product testing army! Yes I start them young! I sent out some Tommee Tippee® goodies to the mom's and let the 'wee ones' 'field test' everything.
The report from the troops are all Spectacular! All the mom's had nothing but good things to say, and based on the baby giggles when I speak to them on the phone, Tommee Tippee® products are baby tested, mommy approved and Auntie endorsed! Blogging has put me in the rank of 'favorite' and 'best' Aunt ever, I LOVE IT! (I'll post pics of smiling baby faces as soon as they come in from the field!)
Because I'm surrounded by newborns I tried out a few products in the newborn range of products, but the line takes you through the toddler years too!
ABOUT TOMMEE TIPPEE
Today, Tommee Tippee innovations provide comfort for babies and peace of mind for parents in 45 countries around the world.Tommee Tippee is the number one brand of infant and toddler feeding products in Great Britain. Since 1965, Tommee Tippee has earned a reputation for its clever ideas, product quality and simply intuitive designs that promote natural development at every age, stage and feeding need. These smart ideas have earned the company top ranks in the prestigious Mother and Baby awards a head-to-head assessment of competitive products voted on by moms themselves. In fact, the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature line of baby bottles has been chosen as Great Britains best baby bottle winning the Gold Award in 2006/7, 2008/9 and again in 2009/10.
The company’s first product, the Tommee Tippee Cup, featured a rounded, weighted base that makes it impossible to tip over and eliminates spills. Since then, Tommee Tippee has advanced the baby and childcare industry, partnering with parents around the world to create products inspired by nature and scientifically designed to solve real consumer needs. Tommee Tippee is especially known for two brands–Closer to Nature® baby bottles and accessories and Explora® toddler feeding cups and mealtime accessories.
Now you all know how much I adore butterflies, and I had to make a butterfly themed product my editor's pick! The Tommee Tippee Explora Truly Spill Proof Trainer Cup 9oz - 6m+ - Green/Butterfly pictured below:
I also wanted to highlight the features of the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature First Sips Weaning Cup - 4m+ - 5 oz. pictured below:
No More Hard Drinking Spouts
The unique soft spout with flexible ribbing offers a natural transition from bottle to cup for comfort as baby learns how to sip.
Switch easily between bottle and cup
The bottle base interchanges with Closer to Nature nipples, and the removable handles are interchangeable with all Closer to Nature bottles, making the transition from bottles to sippy cups easier on both baby and parents.
Convenient for travel
Traveling with the Closer to Nature First Sips Cup is a breeze thanks to the included hygienic lid that protects the spout.
Another product tested by my little butterflies was the Tommee Tippee 2-Pack Closer to Nature Clear Shield Pacifier - 0-6m pictured below:
