Hi, I'm Libette
Mom, researcher, and product tester at 3 a.m. I started this blog to cut through the noise of endless "must-haves" and share what actually works for pregnancy, postpartum, and baby life. Think of me as your bestie who's tried it all so you don't have to.
Picture this: You're 8 months pregnant, standing in Target, staring at seventeen different types of bottles. The $40 one promises to prevent colic. The $8 one looks exactly the same but now you're wondering if you're already failing as a parent.
I've been there. We've all been there.
The baby product world is a special kind of overwhelming. Between Instagram ads promising miracle solutions and those endless "must-have" lists, it's nearly impossible to figure out what you actually need versus what's just really good marketing.
So I decided to become the friend who tests everything first. The one who'll tell you the $8 bottle works just fine and the $200 baby monitor is actually worth every penny. The one who admits when something was a complete waste of money, even if everyone else is raving about it.
What you'll find here
Real reviews from someone who's actually used the stuff. Not just unboxed it for a sponsored post, but lived with it at 3 AM when nothing else matters except whether it works.
I test everything with the kind of scrutiny that comes from spending your own money and dealing with the consequences. Does this high chair actually clean easily, or will you be scraping dried avocado out of crevices for months? Will that "miracle" sleep product work for your baby, or just the babies in their Instagram ads?
Some products promise to "change your life." This swaddle? More like "buy you 20 extra minutes of sleep", and honestly, that's still a win.
My approach
I'm not here to sell you stuff. I'm here to help you buy less stuff, and make sure the stuff you do buy actually works. I'll share the messy reality alongside the wins, because perfect parenting doesn't exist and neither do perfect products.
When something's worth it, I'll tell you why. When it's overpriced nonsense designed to prey on new parent anxiety, I'll tell you that too. And when I can't figure out how to use something without reading the manual three times, I'll definitely mention that.
You won't find affiliate links pushing you toward expensive options or gentle suggestions that "every baby is different" when something clearly doesn't work. You'll get honest opinions from someone who believes parenting is hard enough without the pressure to buy all the "right" things.
Got questions about something specific? Drop me a line. I'm always looking for new products to put through their paces.
