"Work the best of all disposables."
"I can't say enough good things about these pads!"

"I have tried a couple of other products (Lansinoh and Earth Mama Angel Baby nipple butter), and Motherlove still takes the cake. I LOVE the jelly-like consistency of it; not too flaky like Earth Mama Angel Baby, and not too stiff like Lansinoh. I breastfed my first for 8 months and now, on my second baby, I am just now running out of my first jar and came back to order another one and update my review."
"I used Wal-Mart's lanolin free (plant based) cream & thought it was fine, until i received this as a gift and started using it."
"I know this nipple cream was not intended for pumping but I have to say that this one is by far the best for that purpose, both to alleviate the friction and also to heal, as pumping incorrectly made me very very sore..."
"I chose this product for both of my pregnancies, or rather once each of my children arrived and we began our breastfeeding journey."
"No better or worse than other creams."
"I had so many issues with breastfeeding in the beginning- my little one had tongue tie and a terrible latch."
"I use it on myself and my son whose skin is suffering from winter air and drool rash."

"One way around this is to bring morning milk and afternoon milk to the same temperature by chilling in the fridge, then, once both bottles are cold, transferring to a bag. I used to store in 3-4 oz portion sizes (I'm still not sure how much baby needs to eat in one feeding since she's EBF) but why waste bags if I have enough more than one bottles' worth?"
"Clear Storage Bag: The new bags look like they have a reinforced seam. This is a plus - some of my old bags would leak. . White Dispenser bag: I like to use the dispenser bags because it keeps the actual storage bags clean and dust free. The new dispenser bags don't have the slit down the middle which I started to enjoy with the older bags - rather than opening/sealing the entire bag down the side. I used to switch between these and generic storage bags from a big bix store depending on price - but now pricing is very similar, so I choose to purchase these Lansinoh bags since the brand is focused on nursing moms."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I have one that I keep in my pumping bag and just wash every weekend and return on Sunday night for the week. Then I have both hands free to do whatever- including checking email, making phone calls, etc. Yes, when you receive the product there is a request for reviews on Amazon and if you do they will give you a few dollars off a second one. Compatibility- this will work with any breast pump that has flanges that can be placed in the bra- whether double, single, electric or hand. It also gives you an idea of exactly how large you need the bra and where the openings should be on you in order to hold your pump. Since it isn't worn for as long as a normal bra or in the same way by no means do I feel the need to have multiple. I know it's not the cheapest product considering you probably just bought nursing bras, breast pads, a pump, and everything else your baby needs but don't feel like you need multiple to get the benefit."
"Then I did the whole home hack and cut holes in my sports bra. Then after being back at work a few months and getting tired of having to remove my shirt and bra every time I decided I needed a better way. Having the bad experience with the Medela one turned me off to buying a pumping bra, but I'm SUPER glad I gave this one a chance. I'll elaborate on what makes this better than the Medela and why I am in love with it (I'm uploading a few pics that help). There's also a small cloth section with a zipper on each side that you can zip into the middle. With the Medela pumping bra there is no areas you can adjust. I wondered if I should buy the large, but I figured I'd go with what their size chart said. -Flange holes: The cloth holding the flanges in place has vertical and horizontal sections. The Medeal bra has a small circular hole, which isn't nearly as great of a design. I had problems with my sports bra method with getting the breast shield directly over my nipple (I know it's almost TMI, but we're all breastfeeding moms, right?). Then I stick the skinny part of the breast shield through the hole on the inside and then center it over where it needs to go."

"I prefer to use pump parts where the flange comes off separately and push the small piece through from inside rather than squeezing the whole flange through the front opening."
"The velcro is extremely tight and secure, so no worries about it popping off or lifting in the middle of a pumping session."

Find Best Price at Amazon"My girl would latch, but I couldn't tell how much she was getting and she would get tired after a few minutes and wouldn't take the rest of her bottle. Since I had preemies, my insurance paid for me to use a Medela Lactina pump. This is the big blue thing that is "hospital grade" and retails for a boatload ($1500 for the love!). And, the Lactina is loud as all get out, which was annoying and I actually covered it with a blanket to muffle the sound so I could pump in the same room my husband and 3 year old daughter were watching TV in so I could be part of the family. I contemplated getting a Medela Freestyle, but read mixed reviews about being able to maintain supply. I took a leap of faith and bought this pump using gift cards for about half the cost. I wanted something I could clip to my belt and walk around the house, but that is the Freestyle and I couldn't risk it. It never fails that when I'm pumping my husband is out of the house and my older daughter needs something. The "massage" feature speeds up the pump and is designed to stimulate letdown. Quirks: -It took a LONG time (probably 12 hours) to fully charge the battery when I first got the pump. Also, and this is a problem with most pump kits, most women would need to lean forward to get the milk to drop down when sitting upright. So, my Lactina kit had removable flanges which I promptly tossed and used the angled ones from Pumpin' Pal. The tubing is nothing special and you could easily replace it with something from the hardware store if you needed to. It would also be pretty easy to jerryrig the tubing from another pump kit, which I may do so I can attach the backflow valves. Links for the products I mentioned: Pumpin' Pal Super Shields, Angled Pumping Flanges, the Best Flanges By Far in a Complete Set of All Sizes Mom Will Need. Simple Wishes Hands-Free Breastpump Bra, Pink, XS-L. Playtex Drop-Ins System Breast Milk Storage Kit. Updated 10/16/13 -A couple more product links for all the parts I'm using with my cobbled-together homemade kit. You really don't NEED anything but the angled flanges and hands-free pumping bra, but if you wanted to piece something together that's a bit more user-friendly, here are the links: Medela Personal Fit Breastsheild Connectors - Medela 87071. Medela Valves & Membranes (Set of 1). UPDATE 10/28/13- I've gone back to work and am taking this pump back and forth. I basically just cut the tubing and attached one piece to either side of the valve. Now I can still stick the end of the tubing into my homemade Medela kit and it works great and I don't need to worry about moisture getting into my pump."
"Best pump ever (only pump I've used but only one I will ever need!). It's nice to have the mobility of a rechargeable battery Bc I can pump and do chores and even pump in the backseat of a car while someone else is driving. I purchased this pump out of pocket and then mailed receipt and reimbursement application to tricare and they returned my money 100%. So worth it because if you go through a retailer they will only give you the S2 (which is not rechargeable)."
"Wow. I was concerned when returning to work with my second baby that I would not be able to produce enough milk."

Find Best Price at Amazon"When I got home from the hospital, I started using this and in just 5 days I had collected two large ziplock bags full of one ounce cubes."
"I read a review that stated this product was harmful to evening out milk production in the early stages of breastfeeding, but I found that it helped me manage my engorgement and nurse my baby more effectively, getting us off a nipple shield much more quickly than with baby #1. With the Milk-Saver in my over-producing side, I would massage the lumps while nursing the other side, collecting the milk and relieving a lot of the pressure from engorgement so that my babe could then nurse on that side when she finished with lower-producing side."
"In theory, yes... it does help collect the extra milk but for ladies who aren't so "blessed" up top- it's WAY too bulbous to keep under your shirt discreetly."
"Love these!!!!"
"I purchased this product because I had a problem with engorgement and over-supply the first few weeks after my son was born and was going through nursing pads quickly with feeds, and even then I frequently soaked my shirt (and my child). Here are the pros -. 1) It does what it says - catches milk without leaking (although it will spill if you lean forward). 2) Heavy duty - holds up to washing, repeated use. 3) Easy to use- I was able to tuck it into my bra for hands-free use. It is my preference to prevent leakage altogether, as collecting milk with every feed from the opposite breast only leads to more issues with over-supply. I wish I had it for when my oversupply issue was most severe, and would have found it primarily useful to prevent the mess of the leaky breast during feeds."
"I only wear this while feeding (on the opposite breast, obviously) and I store the milk in a milk storage bottle throughout the day in the fridge and then in the evening transfer to a bag to be frozen."

"they are individually wrapped, so its easy to grab a few and stash them in a diaper bag or purse."
"Each breast pad is individually wrapped (like period pads) for sanitary purposes."
"They soak up A LOT in those early days before your supply regulates, and keep you dry and comfortable."
"I pump at work (do the fold-down-the-bra-and-put-on-the-pumping-bra thing) and these are the only pads that stay put when I fold the bra back up after pumping. They're also great at night - stay put in my nursing cami through dream-feedings and (very occasional) long sleeps."
"Depending on the force/amount of my let-down, these last 1/3 to 1/2 of a day if I move them around strategically after each feed."
"Love these!"
"Don't yourself a favor and buy some comfy, reusable ones (even though I had to try 4 different kinds)."

"My husband ordered this for our baby and when it arrived (he wasn't home), I had no idea of how it worked???"
"I also have to wash the milk cups daily or they start accumulate milk in the hole in the center of the rubber lid and will start smelling like sour milk. There are only 4 pieces to take apart and wash and that includes the rubber ring that seals the cup and handles, which only needs to be taken off and washed every week or so."
"My husband and I both tried to drink from it and it does seem a little hard at times. I did hold it up to her mouth and push the sides down so a little water would come out into her mouth to show her what would happen and she tried it a few times but was done quickly."
"Cleaning is easy too- 3 pieces- the cup, the lid, and the colored portion of the lid which just pulls off with a little force."
"We have had ours with water (and probably a little food leftovers) in them for a couple of days, if we forgot it before going away for a weekend, and we haven't experienced any mold."

"I have to formula feed my baby and was on a quest to find the best bottle. So naturally, I started with Dr. Brown's standard bottles. But she was still occasionally having issues and Dr. Brown's bottles are a real pain to clean. After a lot of trial and error, and research, I decided to go with Comotomo.

"Chances are you are reading this review because you are either 1) Being proactive about finding a bottle for your soon to be arriving baby that you plan to breastfed or 2) Absolutely desperate to find a bottle that your breastfed baby will actually take. I worked in a daycare center years before I got pregnant, and though I wasn't working in the infant rooms themselves, it was so utterly heart-wrenching to hear some of those newly enrolled babies screaming and crying hysterically since they refused to take a bottle."

"I could not fall asleep without a pillow in between my legs and then I would toss and turn all night only to fall asleep and wake up shortly afterwards due to hip pains."
"After poor sleep with the pillow, I started researching more about sleep positions and while you see some talk about a pillow between the knees, other advice suggested that wasn't a good idea and the key was having a pillow of the right height to support the top leg for side lying. When I used the pillow as a straight 'I' body pillow, it provided the right support for my hips and didn't make me hot."
"I have used this pillow now 3 nights in a row, and my Sleep has not improved, just got worse. The first night was uncomfortable, but I thought it may have been how I slept with the pillow, so I tried it again the second night."
Best Baby Feeding Gift Sets
The Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Standard Baby Bottles offer a wonderful feeding experience with innovative vent technology. As the baby feeds, air is channeled from the nipple collar through the vent system to the back of the bottle. Air never mixes with the breast milk or formula so oxidation is prevented, thereby maintaining essential vitamins such as C, A and E. The vent system eliminates air bubbles in the formula or milk, which helps to reduce feeding problems like colic, spit-up, burping and gas. The Newborn Feeding Set comes with 3 8oz/240ml Standard bottles, 2 4oz/120ml Standard bottle, 2 extra Level-Two silicone nipples, 2 Storage/Travel caps and 3 "cleaning" brushes are small nipple brushes and they are INSIDE the bottles. Internal Vent Decreases Vacuum Effect. A patented system enables babies to feed more comfortably because the built-in vent discourages ingestion of air bubbles. Dr. Browns newborn feeding set includes everything needed to get started on the wonderful, ever-changing world of sustaining an infant (except the actual milk, that is): Three 8-ounce standard baby bottles, two 4-ounce standard baby bottles, five Level-One silicone nipples, two extra Level-Two silicone nipples (faster-flowing for the older baby), five 2-piece patented internal vents, two storage/travel caps, three cleaning brushes, and instructions. Vent system that removes air from milk maintains essential vitamins such as C, A and E. Helps prevent fluid in the ear.

Find Best Price at Amazon"3) Overflowing water - I'm guessing this can only be the result of not bothering to notice the MAX FILL line on the reservoir. If you wait too long, powder will build-up and change the consistency of the formula (aha....another reason for poor results!). Another bonus...When grandma babysits, there's no measuring, mixing and bottle-heating required - we just tell her to put a bottle under the dispenser and press start. It's basically "formula on demand" (we jokingly refer to it as the baby's Kuerig as it sits next to ours on the counter and works similarly). One thing we make a habit of doing is capping the bottle and giving a gentle shake to ensure the mix is blended - in our quest for the right formula, we've noticed some formula clumps more than others in the bottle, but this is not a result of the machine - it's a result of mixing powder and water. Update Feb 2015...Still working fine for us....Changed the baby's formula type - adjusted the settings...business as usual."
"I found that just by the look of the two comparisons in a dish, the Brezza was dispensing too much formula. The reviews about mold in the water dispenser silicone "straw" are because they left the lid on 24/7 and of course mold will grow in warm humid conditions. I have never seen any mold but I am super paranoid about it, so I leave the top off the water any time that I know there is no chance of anything getting in the water container (like when I'm cooking, etc). So far, no mold EVER, and the water dispenser acts just like a sink fountain when dispensing the water."
"Time saver and kicked up the quality of the bottle milk to a whole level. I never understand why good items always seem to attract the "fake" news. During the 3rd week cleaning I did see a small, very small, amount of mold on the side of the unit where the water tank touches the unit. We had to use a different powder, my error is ordering, which required an adjustment to the selector wheel--no problem."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I'm a first-time mom so I bought three different brands of this type of silicone pocket bibs when my daughter really started feeding herself - -and making resulting messes! I initially liked the OXO bibs as the tops are a comfortable looking water-resistant fabric at the top w/ a Velcro fastener, and a silicone pocket bottom part. I had to scrub the fabric part to get certain foods out and repeatedly rinse and wring to then get the soapy water out. Also, as the fabric part of the OXO bibs dried (hanging up) water would drop down and accumulate in the silicone pocket part, so much so that I'd have to periodically go pour it out as the bibs dried. At one point my daughter's hair grew to the exact length where it was getting caught in the fastener of these bibs quite easily - but that was also a brief stage and happened with the Tommee Tippee bibs as well. He adds that he was initially a bit put off by the silicone "button" type fastener on these bibs, thinking they would be difficult to get closed with his bigger man hands and fingers, but he got the hang of closing these easily and quickly. Incidentally, he does have big hands and gets frustrated w/ certain snaps on our daughter's PJ's - but has no problem whatsoever with the fasteners on these bibs."
"I love that the pocket on the bib stays open to effectively catch any food that she drops while attempting to eat."
"When I received these my first impression was that they were made of a thinner silicon layer, and I was afraid they would not stay in place as nicely and that the pocket would eventually collapse inward."
"We've used lots of bibs over the years, and I do like the waterproof green sprouts bibs for drooling babies, but as far as eating goes these are by far the best."
"My baby is just learning to use his hands to eat and this is the most comfortable bib that I bought for far for him as I can see it in his reaction the first time he wore this."
"My son and his wife received silicone bibs as a gift for their first child, who was a pretty neat eater but the fastener on the back would always pull her hair so I was looking for a different way to fasten the bib onto the child. I love the buttons that easily slip through the slit in the other side to fasten the bib on; it doesn't pull her hair like the other ones did."

"My daughter had trouble keeping a pacifier in her mouth due to tongue and lip ties and the wubbanub was a sanity saver. • 3 star (It’s ok): Product has both positives and negatives, but I’m neutral on whether or not I’ll continue using it. • 4 star (I like it): Item is exactly as described in appearance, functionality, purpose and quality."
"The price is ridiculous so I bought a beanie baby for $3 and made my own by sewing a loop of velcro into it's mouth."
"My husband and I think these are just the best pacifiers."
"She likes being able to play with the stuffed animal, but it also soothes her."
"You could probably also throw in the washer machine inside a mesh bag or put it in the dishwasher (clip it secure on top rack) This thing is great, I really recommend having at least one of these if you have a baby."
"It's also great when I need the paci to stay put as he's falling asleep and I can use the legs to prop it against the side of his side sleeper."
"We haven't had it long so maybe he'll get used to it, maybe I'll find a better way to sterilize it than dipping it in boiling water while trying to keep the money face dry, but for now we really don't like it. It would be better if the mouth was velcro or a snap so you could change the paci to one of your choice and clean it easier."

"After reading the many reviews of MANY different style pouches, I bought this style and the LITTLE GREEN POUCH (LGP) version. WHY I NEED THE POUCHES: I have a 12m old (also have a 2 year old that loves pouch-eating) that is a very independent eater and SUPER BIG eater that will scream and refuse to eat unless he is involved with feeding himself. // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // //. 5 LITTLE SPROUTS (5LS). PROs. • Spout it on top like other store-bought versions. • You can see your contents through the back. • Easily cleanable + fill-able through bottom zipper (ziploc®-type) opening with help of a NORPRO 3040 Funnel Pitcher I bought here on Amazon. • utilizes standard cap, as most reusables seem to. • no spout spillage from either only because both of my kids have just been sucking and not squeezing so far. // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // //. LITTLE GREEN POUCH (LGP). PROs. • stands up on its own in fridge. • utilizes standard cap, as most reusables seem to. • has larger 7oz size available, while still being shorter than 5LS 5oz size. • no spout spillage from either only because both of my kids have just been sucking and not squeezing so far. For regular meals with my independent 12m old, we normally chop up cooked sweet potatoes, bananas or strawberries for him to feed himself while we stuff a spoonful of broccoli soup, steel cut organic oatmeal, etc. I am not going to feed him every meal with these pouches, just use them for snacks, small meals or when preparing the meal and he's h-angry."
"The front shows their logo, lists the pouch size you ordered/quantity in the package and a summary of important basic facts. I purchased the variety pack which comes with 2-3.4oz, 2-5oz and 2-7oz pouches. Initial thoughts: •the packaging makes you feel "green" •the pouches feel like they are good quality, the plastic feels nice and thick •double zipper for added protection *see through world symbol on the back for contents viewing (see through panel is at the top of the pouch) •max fill line •belongs to panel to write your child's name •freezer safe. •downfall: ~the pouches can not stand upright since the zipper is on the bottom (that was to be expected ~the pouches themselves do not have their size printed on them (I understand that people will put different amounts in them but I had in my head that it would have a "at max fill line contents are X oz" somewhere on the pouch) but not a deal breaker. Filing: double zipper is at the bottom of the pouch. The pouch stands alone upside down with cap on. If you are holding it open do not go up to the fill line; when you let go and the pouch settles your food will be above it. However the lids from my Pumpkin Tree Peter Rabbit pouches fit(orange caps) (I haven't tried other brands yet) so SAVE YOUR OTHER LIDS!"
"Used a breast pump shield as a funnel and filled an applesauce pouch faster than i could've opened one!"
"One word of advice for the user--when re-filling, make sure you check that the bottom is zipped shut, so you don't push allllll that yummy food through it straight onto your floor (lesson learned here)."
