Practical Parent Picks Award

As a new parent I found it incredibly frustrating to wade through differing parenting methodologies, or to determine which gear was necessary – and of those which ones were thoughtfully constructed versus poorly designed or manufactured. To compound matters, items that worked for mellow babies might aggravate babies with reflux or colic. I spent a fortune on products that I ended up throwing or giving away!

I’ve spent the last five years researching products that work well for infant reflux or colic but I also have a huge appreciation for quality products, thoughtfully made that benefit first the baby and then the parent. I phrase that carefully because I believe there are many items on the market today that benefit the parent to the detriment of the baby (like hands-free baby bottles and baby videos.)

If you have a product you believe is worthy of my Practical Parent Picks Award, or have a website that is sincere and genuinely helpful to families please email me at Annette@PollywogBaby.com with your info.
