Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I chose these bags partly because of the reviews that I read on this website and because they made economic sense.I gave birth to a premature infant who was unable to breastfeed.I have pumped everyday btwn 6-8 times a day since she was born and was blessed to have an ample milk supply.However, when thawing these bags out I found that I was losing sometimes 4 and 5 bags of at a time due to leakage not from the double seal at the top, but from a seam at the bottom (and no I did not fill them over the 6 oz mark).I later tried some of the other bags out there and found that yes, these bags are better than their competitors, but they were not good enough for me. I have worked way too hard to provide my child with nourishment only to have it leak all over the place.My solution was to use bottles.They too have disadvantages (take up more room in the freezer), but I feel that they are a better choice.

Medela Nursing Cami - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The tank top is so soft and comfortable! I will be mostly wearing it to bed or under a sweater to go to work since you can see your nipples right through it, but other than that I cannot say just how soft and comfy it is!!!Only thing is the price on Amazon is about $17 more than buying it in a store like Babies R' Us... plus now you can use Bed Bath and Beyond coupons, it is even cheaper!

Medela Breastpumping Starter Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this pump in desperation while my daughter was sick and would not nurse for several feedings in a row (we were out of town). I own another manual pump - the Avent Isis (and use it successfully), but did not have it with me. On the box, the Medela Little Hearts pump is listed for "occasional use", so I thought this pump would fit my situation.I paid $25.
This pump comes with:
- 1 breastpump
- 2 5 oz. bottles with lids
- 6 CSF bags
- sample of PureLan lanolin
- 4 disposable bra pads
- 1 breastfeeding guide
There is nothing at all I liked about this pump, other than it was one of the lesser expensive manual pumps in the store. I can't believe Medela puts their name on this product.
Pros:
NONE
Cons:
The breast shields are hard plastic with no flexibility - you have to firmly hold it against your breast while pulling the "pump" handle in the opposite direction. Not only is this an awkward position, there is no way you can keep up this motion smoothly more than 5 or 6 times in a row! A turkey baster would have been easier. I found that the parts leaked milk while I was pumping. Also, milk spilled out if I did not hold onto the breast shield with the same force as when I pulled the pump handle outward for each cycle. There are 3 settings for the level of suction (Low, Med, High). Med was the most comfortable and smooth, however barely expressed any milk. High was more comparable to the force of a baby sucking, but was difficult to use smoothly (as described above).
After pumping, it is simple to unscrew the bottles and store them. Most other brands of bottles and lids were interchangeable with this pump and their bottles, since I have quite a variety already. Washing the pump was a little difficult, as water gets inside the pump "handle" if you wash the whole thing at once, and you can't get inside to dry it. I did not discover how to take the handle off easily, but if you want to spend more time when you wash it, you probably could.Overall, the quality of the pump parts was very low, so you get what you pay for.
All in all, it was a miserable experience and I would never buy this pump again - not even if you are only planning to use it occasionally. It may be useful if you only use it once a month to pump off a few cycles before feeding your child. Otherwise, spend the extra $20 and get the manual breast pump that is designed to be used in a comfortable position.
(...)
I contacted Customer Service yesterday, and they agreed to ship a new Medela Little Hearts pump, on the off chance that the store where I purchased it would take a return on a sealed package. (It is most stores' policy not to take back breast pumps for hygiene reasons). Customer Service for Medela was not able to issue any type of refund, since I did not purchase the product directly from them.They also stated that satisfaction is not guaranteed on their products, which is true.

Medela Mini-Special Needs Feeder Review

(More customer reviews)my daughter used these for a cleft palette until she was 5 months old now we switched up a size.you can use the nipple kit with other medela bottles also!!! carefull when washing the inside not to push too hard agianst the opening it can rip open

Product Description:
In case of severe feeding problems, the SpecialNeeds Feeder offers an alternative to spoons, enlarged and/or extra holes in bottle nipples, and nasogastric tubes. It is so effective and easy to use that it can change feeding sessions from difficult or traumatic experiences into a pleasurable activity for health care professionals, parents and babies. Special design features make the SpecialNeeds Feeder uniquely responsive to the baby's nursing efforts. The slit-valve in the teat regulates milk flow from zero to maximum, depending on its orientation in the baby's mouth. As milk is drawn out of the teat by even the slightest action of the baby's tongue and gums, air enters the bottle at the same rate through an inlet groove in the disc. Consequently, there is no turbulence. Milk flows in only one direction- from bottle to teat. The reservoir always remains full, and none of the baby's effort is wasted.

Medela Contact Nipple Shield Extra Small Size 16mm #67251 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very helpful if you're having trouble with baby latching on and can't get to a lactation consultant right away (It's what they give you anyway when baby can't seem to latch on properly)
Since my baby boy was born on July 3rd and the fourth is a holiday, we couldn't get to a lactation consultant when we needed to. Because of this, he lost more than the safe 10% of body weight since he couldn't latch on properly. If I had this when he was born it would have alleviated much of my new-mom stress.
