The Mothers Minder
Reminder Bracelet helps moms remember when you last fed your baby, put
your baby down for a nap and/or when your baby woke up, or gave a last
dose of medicine. For breastfeeding moms, the bracelet can be
placed on the wrist that corresponds to the breast that you finished
nursing. For your next feeding, refer to the bracelet to know
which breast to offer your baby first, then switch breasts and place the
bracelet on the other wrist.
By using the bracelet
you will have the opportunity to learn your baby's natural routine;
eating, burping, diaper changes and sleeping. It will enable you
to quickly assess your baby's needs, thus reduce stress for you and your
baby. The bracelet will help you do away with your old-fashioned
log.
Bracelets are
available in many colors in silicon or stainless steel (with baby blue,
pink, sunflower, black, white and lavender embellishments).
INDIVIDUAL CATEGORY RATINGS

In comparison to a daily written
log, the Mothers Minder Reminder Bracelet makes it
super-easy. Following sleepless nights and hours
of exhaustion some of the moms on our panel wondered how
they ever made it through it all without one! That
being said, there are just a couple issues our reviewers
found with the stainless steel bracelet. While
delightful to look at (we'll get to that in "visual
appeal"), the bracelet is a little tricky to use -
moving the slider is difficult as it's affixed fairly
tight. When our reviewers pulled at the bracelet
to adjust the slider, the bracelet tended to pinch our
reviewers skin quite a bit once they let go. While
not a major issue, it would just be something you'd need
to get some practice at so as to not pinch yourself each
time you use it. Additionally, the Roman numerals
utilized on the stainless steel bracelet would take some
getting used to, especially at three o'clock in the
morning. On the other hand, the silicon version
was a snap to use! Easy to put on and take off,
simple to read numbers and extremely lightweight. |

Both the stainless steel and silicon
versions of the Mothers Minder Reminder Bracelet rated
well in this category. The slider is fit very
tight and doesn't appear that it will breakdown or fall
off. |

It's a nice bracelet, but by no
means is it Tiffany! Keeping in mind its purpose,
our panel agreed that both the stainless steel and
silicon versions are pleasing to the eye. The
stainless steel version is pretty and in most situations
an on-looker wouldn't recognize it as a mommy reminder.
The silicon version is similar to other fundraising
bracelets - with the added numbers and slider.
While our moms specifically took a look at the pink
version, they agreed that its good to recognize there
are many other color options as well. |

Ooooh....Aaaaah. Awesome!
That's what our pro breastfeeding moms had to say.
Gone are the days of needing a rubber band on your wrist
or a notepad with scratchings such as 2L (fed at 2
o'clock, left breast) to remember which breast to offer
your child next. In the early months, keeping
track of nap times during the day or soiled diapers when
you need to be counting could be a breeze. Our
reviewers agreed - until you become a mom you really
don't realize just how difficult it is to remember
everything (or anything!) when you're running on fumes.
The Mothers Minder Reminder Bracelet will give you some
of that memory back (even if it's cheating!). We
must admit, our dads just didn't get it - but our moms
made it clear - this would be a great tool with tons of
functionality for any new mom trying to get to know and
understand her baby's rhythm. |

The Mothers Minder Reminder Bracelet
rates extremely well in this category. At a price
point of just $5, the silicon version may be
under-priced (did we really say that?!). At
$19.99, the stainless steel bracelet was at the exact
price our reviewers guessed. As a side note, our
moms did point out that when it comes down to it they'd
pretty much pay any price for a product that would help
them keep their sanity! |

Our moms were aware of a couple
other bracelets available for a similar purpose - some
had even used them previously. What our moms were
extremely interested in was the silicon version as they
were not familiar with this variety - and thought the
simple, less expensive version was a perfect add-on to
any baby shower gift. |

Difficult to figure out what
your baby wants now? You may not realize what
you're missing by not having an easy way to keep
track of your baby's needs. The Mothers Minder
Reminder Bracelet will help you get in tune with
your baby, making every day a calmer and more
enjoyable experience. Our reviewers highly
recommend this product as a shower gift - and even
think doctors should encourage moms-to-be to
purchase to help keep mom's sanity during baby's
first months of life. |
