Octopals

A fantastic toy that will keep children entertained throughout their entire bath time!

This brilliant bath toy will keep children happy for hours. There are so many activities that children will not want to get out of the bath until they have discovered them all time and time again. Octopals consists of a mother Octopus with a baby octopus sat on the end of each of her eight tentacles. The head of the mother octopus separates and becomes a fun pouring cup, which can also be used as a showerhead for bath time fun.

The baby octopuses each come away from the mother and can be used as fun bath squirters.

The little babies can also stick to the side of the bath or on wall tiles, which can lead to lots of bath time fun and games. Each baby octopus also has a number on its back which corresponds with numbers on the mothers tentacles – so there can also be some playful developmental play too, as the child matches the correct baby with the right number. Box Contents: 1 x Mother Octopus Body 1 x Mother Octopus Pouring Cup Head 8 x Baby Octopuses

Fabulous toy...
...but not if you live in a hard water area.

My daughter loved these after they were given as a present. However, despite trying really hard to get all of the water out after every use, and storing them so they could drain, they gradually turned black with limescale and mildew, and even squirted out little black bits. We've sadly had to throw them out as we simply could not get them clean.

Fun but don't let the water stay in them when not using!
OK like many of these bath toys they are good fun and can keep you playing in the bath with the kid(s) for ages.
But a note of caution!
When finished playing with them in the water make sure you empty out the water from these things.
As over time mould will build up inside of them and you see little dark spots inside. If the child puts them to their mouths and squirts of sucks from them like most will do then these mould spots will be swallowed.
They also will appear in the bath water as I have discovered.

Ok, but...
This is a reasonable toy, but no more. There aren't that many different things to do with it, and it fills up a lot of bath space for not much functionality. My son quickly got bored with it. Plus, be careful to squeeze all the water out of every baby octopus after every bath before you store it as mildew can build up inside them (ick). Frankly, my son is happier with a plastic funnel, a plastic water bottle and a cup in the bath.... But this was a present, and so here we are.

Grobag Cotton Swaddling Wrap

Product Description

The grobag swaddling is a cotton wrap that has been especially designed to make swaddling simple. The swaddling effect recreates the comforting feeling that baby had in the womb and makes baby feel secure at all times. Swaddling helps your baby to sleep undisturbed by preventing the moro reflex, which is where newborn babies have the tendency to startle themselves by suddenly moving their arms during sleep. The swaddling blanket can also be used for underarm swaddling as the baby starts to get bigger, therefore still providing the comfort and security that they have become used to.

Manufacturer's Description

grobag® swaddling is a cotton wrap that has been specially designed to make swaddling simple. Swaddling recreates the comforting and soothing feeling of being in the womb with a gentle pressure around the baby's body. A safe and sound night's sleep for your baby means peace of mind and more sleep for you.

Swaddling helps your newborn to sleep undisturbed by preventing the 'moro reflex', which is the tendancy for newborns to startle themselves by suddenly moving their arms. Swaddling can also help ease the discomfort of colic in the early weeks. As your baby gets bigger, grobag® swaddling can be used for underarm swaddling too.

Grobag Cotton Swaddling Wrap
Swaddling in the early months is thought (by some) to assist babies to sleep. It suppresses the moro reflex (or the jerking effects of it) and gives security to the baby. The Grobag Cotton Swaddling Wrap meets these aims. The only problem I had with it was that it is quite 'short'. I don't think my baby is particularly 'tall' but he would regularly get his feet free of the wrap. Baby's feet are meant to be contained by the bottom of the wrap being folded over them - obviously the 'taller' baby is, the less fabric there is to fold over. Minor quibble probably but there other swaddling products out there which are bigger.

a new born must
Got given this as a gift and it is extremely useful. Really great in the first few days to help your baby feel snuggled and safe. Great later on as you're able to wrap up your baby more loosely and he/she has wriggle room but can't kick off the blanket.
