Customer Reviews

Concerns about carcinogens
When I first started looking for bottle nipples, I automatically assumed that latex would be better because it's natural. Not so, however - the FDA recently announced that latex leeches carcinogens (particularly as it gets older) and that early latex exposure can trigger latex allergies later in life. So, at the very least, toss latex nipples the instant they start to get shiny or worn.

Easy to use
Easy to use--I love these liners. You should know that this listing is not for 8 oz. liners, but for liners that are 8-10 oz. (so they expand).

These are great!
Trying to find a bottle that my breastfed baby would actually take was so hard. My mom bought some of the Playtex Nurser System Drop-Ins for her and she took to them with no problem! I think because you can push all of the air out of the liner, so there isn't such a problem with gas!

Customer Reviews

highly recommend
These bottles are much safer than plastic. They're heavy but they give good piece of mind to the concerned parent who doesn't like the idea of harmful chemicals in baby's milk from plastic.

Safest Bottles Out There
With these glass bottles there's no worry about chemicals in plastics.
Also the glass bottles are so much easier to wash. They come perfectly clean. When I had plastic bottles the milk stains never came out no matter how much I scrubbed. These bottles also fit on my pumping machine, so it's easy to store milk.

better than plastic
I feel better using glass for my babies instead of plastic. I think they hold onto the bottles better because they are narrower. I recommend this product.

Philips AVENT Manual breast pump Out and about set

Features

• Includes one ISIS Manual Breast Pump, two 4-oz AVENT Natural Feeding Bottles, two 9-oz storage containers, eight Ultra Comfort Disposable Breast Pads, one insulated micro fiber tote and two cool packs for breast milk storage

Editorial Review
The discreetly quiet and portable Isis Back to Work Breast Pump Set is a gentle, safe, and discreet way to express and store breast milk for later feedings. This set weighs less than a pound and includes an Isis handheld breast pump, an insulated shoulder bag (about the size of a lunch box); two 4-ounce and two 9-ounce Avent bottles with newborn nipples and silicone sealing lids; disposable breast pads; and two freezer packs.

The Isis breast pump is a one-handed manual pump (no batteries or electrical hookups are required) with a silicone diaphragm and soft cushion "petals" that work together to mimic breastfeeding. The soft "petals" in the cushion send a message to the breast to stimulate a natural let-down reflex, and the silicone diaphragm creates a vacuum to help express more milk quickly and quietly. Many moms claim that this manual pump can express the same volume of milk in the same amount of time as the larger electric pumps. Dishwasher safe. --Deb Oroszlan

From the Manufacturer
Clinically proven as effective as competitor electric pumps and the manual pump preferred by breastfeeding moms! This set includes the ISIS Manual Breast Pump and a stylish, insulated tote with everything you need to pump, store and feed. The ISIS Manual Breast Pump is designed to be physiological ¿ stimulating a natural milk flow most like natural breastfeeding. ISIS is the only manual pump with a gentle Let-down Massage Cushion that flexes as you pump and creates a reliable vacuum, so you can express milk gently and quickly. ISIS is clinically proven as effective as competitor electric pumps, resulting in the same amount of milk in the same amount of time, and also rated by mothers as more comfortable to use. It's easy to see why ISIS is the manual pump preferred by most moms! ISIS works with the entire AVENT Natural Feeding System and lets you pump, store and feed in any bottle or cup. Try it and see!

Customer Reviews

Excellent product for excellent results
I have 2 of these pumps and they are fantastic. I find it to be easy and efficient to use...and I've been using it for over a year. It is THE BEST hand pump on the market. I ALSO have a Medela Pump N Style double electric pump...but I must say that the Avent Isis works just as well. I alternate between the two types of pumps depending on my schedule. I keep my Pump In Style at work...as it is faster to pump both sides at once...but I use the Avent Isis at home and on weekends...or if I am going to be away from the office for business travel, tradeshows, or off site meetings. It is compact and small and easy to pack for the day or a trip, etc. It is comfortable...you have a lot of control over the suction...and I can express just as much milk with this hand pump as I can with my electric pump.

All of the Avent products are fantastic. I can't recommend them more highly. My biggest advice to anyone looking into breast pumps is NOT to buy ANYTHING sold by formula manufacturers...they do not care if you are successful breastfeeding. Avent and Medela products are wonderful. This is the absolute best pump for the money. My friend Christine used hers for over a year while working...it was the only pump she had...and she did great with it.

Surpassed my expectations!
I tried several "NEW" electric/battery designs before I found this manual set. It is the best! I was worried about going back to work and having to pump every 2-3 hours and make so much noise in the restroom. Yet I was also concerned about the length of time I thought a manual pump would take. This back-to-work set was the answer to both of those concerns! I made sure my milk supply was well established (it only took three weeks for me before I started pumping). I was able to pump 4-6 oz in about 5 minutes and up to 9+ in under 10 minutes (and absolutely silently!) The washable breast pads were great for night, but I used super thin ones during the day. The pump is easy and fast to assemble, and easy to clean. I stored the bottles right at my desk and the ice packs kept them cold all afternoon. And now that I am not nursing anymore, the two 4 ounce bottles and two 9 ounce bottles that are included with the set are always in use for his formula. He won't drink from any other nipple! And the carry case - I use that for a lunch tote with the ice packs! A GREAT value!!!

I've been very successful with AVENT products!
I am a first time mom to a newborn who has problems latching on when I try to breastfeed, mainly because he has a tongue thrust. I resorted to pumping to help maintain my milk supply and continue giving my son the benefits of breast milk. This back to work set is definitely worth the price! I also have a Medela Pump In Style and both products work just about the same, although the Avent Isis is definitely quieter. I can express the same amount of milk as I would using the Medela Pump In Style - usually about 4-6 oz. in 5-8 minutes. The set packs into a discreet "lunch bag," so you can feel comfortable taking it to work and keeping your milk cold thanks to the freezer paks. I also like the fact that you can actually see the milk spray into the funnel. I think the secret to this successful product are the petals that help to stimulate the areola when you pump - very similar to your baby on the breast (this also helps maintain milk supply). Although I wouldn't recommend this product for daily/constant use - I know most moms will get frustrated at having to use a manual pump and of course dual pumping is always better, (the Medela Pump In Style or other hospital grade pump is recommended for that) I have been successful using the Avent Isis for every feeding. I am so grateful to Avent for all their products!

Avent Nipple - Medium Flow
From Philips

Product Description

Its soft wide shape encourages your baby to open the mouth wide when feeding and to literally 'latch on' to the teat. He or she can then suckle, using the same movements of tongue and jaw as when breastfeeding. That's why it's easier to combine breast and bottle feeding with AVENT. Medium flow nipple. 2 Pack.

Customer Reviews

Tummy Blues Basher/Tastes Pretty Good Too
It works wonderfully to get rid of diarrea and tummy aches. My son hates the taste of soy formulas, but drank this down like it was melted ice cream. I just wish it wasn't so expensive. It only comes in ready-made.

WORKS WONDERS!!!
My son had horrible diarrhea for two weeks, nothing could get it to stop and no one knew why. Of course along with the diarrhea came the diaper rash, it was open and bleeding by the time we were sent to the ER by our pediatrician.
The ER doc told us about Isomil DF, and gave us a 6 pack sample.
Within 36 hours my son's stools were firming up and the diaper rash was beginning to subside.
This stuff REALLY works. Now we use it whenever he goes on an anti-biotic as they give the little ones horrible diarrhea as well. It even works for this!!

Definitely helps the diarrhea!!!
I used it when my son caught a stomach virus and within two to three days, his stool was firm again. Right on the heels of that, though, he got an ear infection and had to go on antibiotics, which caused diarrhea and a terrible diaper rash. Within few days of Isomil DF and some balmex, the diarrhea is not as bad as it would be without it. And my 9 month old (who was the biggest fan of breastmilk) LOVES the taste. I highly recommend.

Customer Reviews

LOVE IT !!!!
I have used Bobbies and others. Now for my third child I have found this one and love it.
This fits well around you without leaving gaps. Your baby will snuggle close to you and you can adjust it when baby gets older so that you can elevate the baby, give a bit more head up or however she prefers to nurse.
The pillow snuggles right in and around you. PERFECT for rocking chairs.But also to just for lap use, like on a couch or such. I have one for upstairs and one for downstairs.
It moves right in as the pictures shows. The baby is NOT laying off the pillow, as shown in the pictures, unless you want her to.
I love that it doesn't show stains. I have a pink one and the color is beautiful. Soft but not pastel. It never loses shape. Bounces right back or stays soft but in shape.
As you can tell I am really happy and satisfied with it. Can recommend it.
Note: it has no changing option. It is one peace and you can't take the cover off.
LOVE the prodcut. Never felt that satisfied or happy with any of the other nursing pillows.
Especially the Bobby pillow. It never fit right nor around me.
Usually things are made for shorter women, but I am 6 feet it works well for me.
My friends who are shorter have come over and used it for their baby and it works well for them also.
Doesn't lose shape or firmness.
It is soft to touch but feels like a very good pillow you would rest your head on.

Enjoy it.

Great Product
Unlike the other nursing pillows that I found, this pillow is flat instead of contoured. This allows baby's head to lie flat at the same level as breast. Makes getting a good latch easy. I no longer have to rig towels or blankets under baby's head. Wish it was a little larger..other than that great.

hate this nursing pillow
I hate this nursing pillow. When I put my baby on my lap, on the pillow, the pillow wanted to slip forward constantly. The baby kept falling between me and the pillow. I am a small person and it doesn't stay in place. I would have liked the Boppy pillow better, since it goes around your belly. I wish I hadn't gotten this pillow and can't return it as I got it before the baby came. Now I have to donate it, hope the next person finds it useful. Waste of money.

Customer Reviews

It's the best product I have used so far
I'm a mother of twin girls. I was always looking for a formula dispenser that is clean and practical. This product has all I was looking for. It's beautiful, clean, easy to stack up. I love it. The only problem I see is when I pour formala out of the container, I had to tab many times before I can get it all out. That's not a big deal as I think it's the best product on the market right now. Dishwasher clean everyday, still brand new look.

Wish I had it sooner!!
I love this product. I bought it at a baby fair and have used it literally every day since! I wish i had it for formula and cereal, but now that i have a two year old i use it for snacks and fruit. Mostly we carry just three sections at a time and that is great. it fits in any bag we use. They have proven to be dishwasher safe for quick clean up and truly shatter proof. I have given this as a gift on a couple of occasions and everyone seems thrilled. A DIAPER BAG MUST!!!!! YOU WONT BE SORRY!

Okay for formula, great for snacks but fell apart.
This is a good product, but for formula I found the little baggies made by The First Years and the more common compartment containers more useful and I was disappointed that I spent more than twice as much on this thing. We used it for daycare for about a year. Then, when my daughter was a year old we started to use it for snacks. For this purpose it is really useful and it fits in the bottle pockets of diaper bags. The thing is that it started to fall apart. The little part that makes it lock together just breaks so now we have 2 compartments left and I'm going to look for another alternative. Also, it's not easy to use for people with hand-issues so the Grandmothers have had problems unsnapping it. I would have easily purchased it again if it didn't cost $20 (which is actually quite a bit for something like this).

Amazon.com Review
Congratulations, you're expecting a baby! What you may not be expecting is all of the requisite gear you "need" to look after your dear bundle. Fear not. Denise and Alan Fields, authors of Bridal Bargains, are here to tell you what's super and what's silly, and how to find it at the best price. You'll learn all about how (and where) to shop for a crib and dresser (including how to get European styling at reasonable prices), what you need in bedding and what can be skipped (a hint: no baby requires the $200 quilt!), which clothing brands are safest and least expensive, and how to shop for monitors, toys, car seats, strollers, books, videos, and more. The authors have field-tested every major brand (and several of the minor ones), and they provide star ratings and annotations at the end of every chapter. A helpful feature in each chapter called "Wastes of Money" will steer you away from $35 Baby Air Jordans and frilly diaper stackers that match your bedding. If that's not enough, they offer a money-back guarantee: If the book doesn't save you at least $250 in baby expenses, they'll refund the price of the book. Well researched and written in a witty and comfortable tone, Baby Bargains should be required reading for every safety- and money-conscious parent-to-be. --Rebecca A. Staffel

Customer Reviews

A better resource than the Consumer Reports version.
Put this one in the "I shoulda payed attention" category. I noted, while checking the reviews to the Consumer Reports book "Guide to Baby Products," that the Fields' book was clearly given the nod as the better book. Still, I've been a Consumer Reports subscriber for many years, and I reasoned that "Guide to Baby Products" must surely have information that "Baby Bargains" lacked. So, I bought both of them. My advice? Those other reviewers were right. "Baby Bargains" is as least as complete in its evaluations of products, and it's a much better source of background information. To boot, it's warmer in tone, funny, and a more enjoyable read all around. Buy "Baby Bargains" and skip CU's book.

Great Bargains & Reviews, but read carefully!
It will be my baby shower gift from now on! This book is EXCELLENT - great for 1st time parents or parents who want to buy the best stuff at the best price. It's also useful for ensuring good baby gifts, especially baby clothes. People who don't have babies buy all the wrong clothes - no easy diaper access, snaps in back & not front, etc. So be sure to share the baby clothes tips!

Some readers complain that a lot of the recommended brands are pricey - like Peg Perego strollers. True, but you need to read ALL the recommendations. Peg Perego is said to be the best stroller. However, the text notes that only city-dwellers really need a stroller this light and durable. For suburbanites, the 4-in-1 travel system from Century is recommended, and it is cheaper than Peg Perego. I have a 4-in-1 Century Travel System, and I'm very happy with it. I bought it based on Baby Bargains' recommendation. Sometimes the book is wordy or confusing but this is a minor complaint.

Every new parent can relate to the huge money drain that comes with a new infant. We want our children to have the best, and it just seems the list of must-haves is never-ending. Many of us choose to do without certain items or find them second-hand, but there are certain things, like car seats, that are often better to have new. Thus the dilemma: how to find new items at the cheapest prices. Furthermore, how does one choose between the multitude of companies, brands, and styles of endless baby stuff? Baby Bargains to the rescue! This book is about "how to save money and still buy the best." If you're looking for a detailed comparison of brands and how they rank up, you`ll love poring over the chapters that range from Nursery Necessities to Maternity and Nursing Clothes to Catalogs, The `Net, Child Care and more. They also include lots of up-to-date safety info, "email from the real world" (letters from parents-they interviewed over 1000!), and they even tell you where to find specialty items like African-American bedding, affordable art prints for baby's room and rental baby equipment when you're on vacation. On top of all this, they include Smart Shopper Tips, a Phone/Web Site Directory, and they have a web site of their own
