The GreenKiddie reviews are here!
Last month we teamed up with our favourite green parenting website GreenKiddie to find testers for our BPA-Free, leak proof, anti-colic bottles! Five mummy bloggers who bottle-feed their babies (either expressing their breastmilk or using formula) were selected and they have now all posted up the reviews on their blogs.
We have been overwhelmed by the positive comments and recommendations and can`t wait to share them all with you. Here`s a snippet from each mum to whet your appetite and you can click on the links beneath to read the whole review:
