Closer To Nature Breast Care Starter Pack | Tommee Tippee | Review & Giveaway

Yep, it's another Tommee Tippee product review and giveaway! *smiles* Here's a little something for mommy, this time...

Allow me to introduce the Closer To Nature Breast Care Starter Pack...

Containing 36 disposable breast pads, 2 washable and reusable breast pads, and 1 zippered storage bad, this is a great starter kit for new moms. The bag is made out of some kind of neoprene, is waterproof, and easily holds up to 8 pads at a time, so it's especially great for carrying your nursing pads around in your diaper bag. No more fishing around in the bottom of your bag for loose packets!


The disposable fabric on these breast pads is super soft and comfortable, and breathes well. The back of each pad has a sticky spot - just peel off the tag and stick it to your bra. Unfortunately, this feature didn't work at all for me, but I am quite large breasted, so that may have simply put to much strain on the poor things (gravity and all that). In other words, the stick patch held the pad to my bra very well until I wore it for a while, and then it no longer stayed put (but it did stay sticky).


These are the reusable breast pads. I have to admit that I did not actually wear these; I was put off by the rough weave of the pad, which really did not feel that comfortable on my fingers, and I wasn't thrilled with the thought of them rubbing on more sensitive tissue. It did occur to me well after the fact (darn that pregnancy brain!) that running them through the wash a few times before using them may have made a difference. I would like to point out that even if you find them too rough like I did, the value of the Starter Pack is not diminished at all by their presence.


As you can see, these breast pads have a very slim line design, that doesn't take up much room inside your bra, and you can't see the outline at all from the outside, even with a tight shirt.

Closer To Nature Clear Shield Pacifiers & Pacifier Holders | Tommee Tippee | Review & Giveaway

Yep, here's another Tommee Tippee review! Like I mentioned before, they sent me a HUGE box of awesome products to review, and today I want to tell you about the Closer To Nature Clear Shield Pacifiers and Pacifier Holders.
{ Closer To Nature Clear Shield Pacifiers 6-18m }

Serenity is only 2 months old, so all I can say about these adorable pacifiers (which are designed for babies 6 to 18 months old) is that they are very well designed, very cute, all the pieces move smoothly, and I love that the clear design allows more of your baby's cherubic face to remain visible while they self-soothe. Here's what Tommee Tippee has to say about these cute pacifiers...

The new Closer to Nature pacifiers (Pure, C-air, and Soft) were created by a bio-medical engineer and a pediatric dentist. They studied the way that the tongue functions and the way that infants suck, and wanted to develop a soother to be more natural and fit more naturally in the mouth.

When a baby sucks on a pacifier, they build up internal pressure in their mouth, the tongue is low and the cheek muscles push inwards on the palate. Our new pacifier is designed to have a natural fit in the mouth and gently expands in an umbrella-like fashion to support the palate and maintain its natural shape.

There are a lot of orthodontic shaped pacifiers on the market today, but what we have developed is a pacifier that provides an orthodontic function. 

This pacifier promotes safe and healthy oral development because of its natural fit and unique attributes in the design of the teat.

These pacifiers also come in a handy sterilizer case that doubles as a storage case. All you have to do to sterilize these pacifiers is put them in the case, add water to the first oval line on the case, and microwave for about a minute and a half (adjust time for microwaves with wattage over 1000 watts).

In addition to the pacifiers, I also received a pair of Closer To Nature Pacifier Holders for review...

These holders have flexible rings designed to either clip onto ring pacifiers (like the ones in this review) or around the plug on plug-style pacifiers. They are also BPA free and easily wipe clean. While I haven't used them with Serenity yet because of her age (at the moment, she refuses to take any pacifier, and we're still working through some latch issues), I did check out the flexibility, ease of use, sturdiness of the clip and the various components, and I am impressed with the craftsmanship. These are quality pacifier holders!
