MissNae says "The manual Avent Breast Pump is not for the pumping mom." about Avent Breast Pump, Manual, On-the-Go Set, 1 set

MissNae — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 23:30:47 GMT

The Avent Manual pump, on the go set, is not the best pump for a mother who is a pumper. I think it would be good for the first couple of times. The pump is gentle and does not hurt my nipple area, I just feel that the it wasn't creating the best suction to produce milk. When I first used it, I was over filled so I was able to pump a 2 ounces... it took almost 20 minutes. ( I normally can do 2 ounces in about 5 minutes with an electric) After that, I can barely get anything out when I use the manual pump.

Overall, it was gentle with my breast, but I know I need an electric to produce enough for my child.

beetlechic says "The Mi Pump Breast Pump is a great value " about The First Years miPump Breast Pump, Double Electric/Battery, 1 pump

beetlechic — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:00:02 GMT

The purchased this pump to replace the Medela pump i rented from the hospital. I had no problems with the medela, it was just too expensive to keep. I have had no issues with the Mipump and feel it has done the same job as its more expensive pump.

I called the First Years Customer Service line to order a larger breast shield, and other attachments. The service was fantastic!

The hand bar that is used to for " one hand pumping" is not so useful for large chested ladies. I ended up purchasing a nursing bra that made the task easier. This however, may work just fine for a smaller lady.

i also purchased the bottles that go to the pump. Overall I am satisfied.

monyka23 says "Johnson's nursing pads" about Johnson & Johnson Johnson's Nursing Pads, 60 pads

monyka23 — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:07:43 GMT

These are by far the best nursing pads I have found. They are thick and condensed and made of cotton. When the pad gets full it still keeps its shape and doesn't spill, unlike other pads that are held together by plastic. They do have a nipple-shaped indent but it didnt bother me much. I would definately recommend these for the support they offer. Once they were in I didn't have to worry about my leaking

monyka23 says "lansinoh cream" about Lansinoh HPA Lanolin, 2 oz (56 g)

monyka23 — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:07:42 GMT

This is a must for breast-feeding moms. I only needed one or two tubes the entire time i breast fed. It helps relieves cracking and soothes the nipple. It stays on and it's safe for the baby. With that said it doesn't wipe off very easily so the baby's cheek may get a little greasy. Overall a great product and necessary for breast-feeding moms.

dforkner says "Best, most effective nursing pads" about Lansinoh Nursing Pads, Disposable, 60 pads

dforkner — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 21:13:14 GMT

These are the nursing pads that I ended up using with all three of my children while breastfeeding. I tried several other brands, as well as reusable pads. I found that all others would eventually leak if over-full. These did not. The stay in place well, are smooth and discreet under a bra, and they absorb a great amount. They can become fully saturated and still not leak out the side.

sillyrachel says "Helps to calm chafing as well as prevent it" about Lansinoh HPA Lanolin, 2 oz (56 g)

sillyrachel — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 02:12:45 GMT

I really loved this product while I was nursing my daughter. It helped with cracking.

It does stain clothes, but if you use the breastpads it won't get on your bra (too much). I used cotton rewashable pads and the stains stayed with them instead of my bra.

dyates24 says "the avent breast pads worked fine for me" about Avent Disposable Breast Pads, 40 pk.

dyates24 — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:29:21 GMT

The avent breast pads were comfortable to wear, but they were bulky and you could see them through a shirt, not that it matters to me cause i am a hoodie type of person, but they absorb well and are good for their price.

cmg15 says "not for someone who leaks alot!" about Avent Breast Pads, Washable, 6 pads

cmg15 — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 19:21:14 GMT

i started using these pads thinking to save money. well it turned out that they do not hold milk so when i leaked it was bad. i had to go back to the disposables. i hate paying the money monthly but now that i dont' hardly leak and just want something to protect my bras i tried them again, which work just fine for that. but if you need protection these are not for you.

sabjimata says "Sore nipples? You need this!" about Lansinoh HPA Lanolin, 2 oz (56 g)

sabjimata — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 01:27:31 GMT

I had received lansinoh for my baby shower when I was pregnant with my first kid 8 years ago. I never used it. I had no issues breast feeding and did not find it necessary.

When I had my second baby, I had no lansinoh and did not need to buy it. Again, no issues with the breast feeding. Thankfully.

Then with my 3rd baby I was so glad that I was given it by the hospital. And then when I left the hospital, I had my husband run to the pharmacy and get me some. It was really helpful. Not something I would think you would need throughout your baby's entire breast feeding career, but in those early weeks of nursing, it definitely can help see you through the tough times.

I did not anticipate having any trouble breast feeding my third baby, especially since the first two nursed so naturally and easily right away after being born. However, my third pregnancy was a little different.

My water broke and I was not going into labor. The midwife gave me a bunch of recommendations of things to try to...

cheesecake1985 says "Lansinoh Lanolin is soothing and healing." about Lansinoh HPA Lanolin, 2 oz (56 g)

cheesecake1985 — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 19:47:53 GMT

This lansinoh lanolin is a must have on your list to buy before baby. It is so effective at relieving the pain, cracking, and peeling of skin when you are first trying to nurse. It is safe to apply even when they are going to nurse. It is totally Non-toxic. I also use it on dry areas on my baby's skin.
