As we get ready to celebrate the 4th of July, everyone seems to want to show their USA spirit in a big way. Little ones can show their patriotism in a fun way too!
Baby can now be decked out in stars, stripes, red, white and blue right down to their pacifier and sippy cup! That’s right, Tommee Tippee’s new Stars & Stripes product line is here! The limited edition sippee trainer cups and insulated sipper cups feature a removable, two-piece, spill proof valve. The insulated straw cups feature a flip down straw that keeps the straw clean and keeps mess to a minimum. All the cups have super soft spouts and straws that are gentle on sensitive gums.
The Stars & Stripes pacifiers have the same baby approved nipple they are used to which means they can show their pride for the USA without any confusion or having to give up the familiar nipple they love! The symmetrical, orthodontic shape of the nipple is designed to improve balance and make it easier for babies to hold in their mouth. The pacifiers are available in 2 packs for ages 0-6 months and 6-18 months.
The Limited Edition Stars & Stripes Line is available exclusively at Babies R Us stores and will be available at Target stores at the end of July! Let me know what you think.
Then you have the older, experienced parents who want to let you know that they have been there and done that. They want to tell you what it was like in their day. In there day…children were seen and not heard, had respect, ate what was in front of them, listened the first time, knew their place, were not spoiled, would never have a tantrum in the store, did not need car seats or fancy toys, were happy playing with a stick in the dirt.
If you have received unsolicited parenting advice from friends, strangers, parents, grandparents, coworkers or anyone else that wants to point out your child is too big to have that bottle, should not be using a sippy cup, should go to bed without crying, should eat everything on his plate, should be potty trained, should not still have a pacifier and more you probably feel like exploding.
It can be hard to stay in control when what you want to say is, “Who Asked You?” There is a much better way to handle their advice. Just #ParentOn and ignore the unsolicited advice, trust your instincts and embrace all of the perfectly imperfect parenting moments you will have as your children grow. Sure you will make mistakes, we all do! I will let you in on a little secret-the so-called parenting experts will be making mistakes too when they finally have kids.
We all have had that unsolicited advice and one of my favorites is when I was told my daughter should be potty trained at 12 months old! That was a great one! What is your memorable #ParentOn moment? I would love if you would share it in the comments.

The limited edition set of six bottles is available now on Amazon.com. I just love the bright colors, the set is like a rainbow! The Closer To Nature bottles have a revolutionary nipple to mimic the breast’s natural flex, the compact shape of the bottle allow for more natural feeding and for baby to be closer to mom or dad, the slow flow nipple and easi- vent valve eliminate excess air flow, bottles are BPA free and easy to clean.

Closer To Nature Bottles Feature:
Revolutionary nipple developed with breastfeeding experts and moms to mimic the breast’s natural flex, stretch and movement, closer to nature bottles makes feeding time easier for mom and baby. The soft silicone nipple feels like skin, and gently elongates and flexes during feeding to mimic natural breastfeeding action.
The compact shape of Closer to Nature bottles allows baby to feed in a natural position and to be closer to mom or dad. The easy hold bottle can be held in 3 ways–cradled comfortably in the hand, gripped in the same way as a traditional wide neck bottle, or held from the base.
The slow flow nipple with a super sensitive valve eliminates excessive air flow, so little ones ingest more milk and less air.
Closer to Nature bottles and nipples are easy to clean and fill. They are microwave and dishwasher safe, yet light and easy to hold. The easy hold bottle is marked in millimetres and ounces and has a hygiene seal cap to keep germs out and drips in.
The soft silicone nipple feels like skin, and gently flexes during feeding to mimic natural breastfeeding action. The breast like shaped nipple allows baby to latch on easily and further supports the transition between bottle and
breast.
“Mommy I accidentally spilled my cup of (insert beverage of choice) all over (insert object or objects of choice).” That sentence strikes fear in me and I know I’m not alone. With laptops, iPads, Kindles and smartphones all around our home it can also be an extremely expensive problem as well.
My preschooler has a tendency to spill drinks a lot and while I do not want him to have to feel like a baby drinking from a sippy cup, the fact is he is messy, messy, messy!
Tommee Tippee had the answer in their Explora Special Edition, 3 Ring Circus, 12 oz. Water Bottle. These manageable cups are great for little hands to grip and their no spill features is great for my little mess maker. Great when he wants to keep a cup of water by his bed and perfect for travel. Now even if they get knocked over, dropped or tossed there are no messy spills to clean.
With great Special Edition designs for boys and girls, it’s easy to pick the perfect pack for any child. The Water Bottle is intuitively designed for guaranteed easier drinking and more natural transitions, their Advance-Flo Technology ensures that the truly spill-proof water bottle is truly spill-proof, leak proof and easy to drink from.
Unlike other valve systems, Tommee Tippee’s Active Sensor valve was designed by a physicist to be sensitive that liquid flows on demand, yet truly spill and leak proof. Water bottles are BPA Free and are sold in are sold in sets of 2, available at Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores nationwide. Best of all it puts an end to, “Mommy I just spilled…”
