Even though I nursed my 1st daughter I did supplement with formula or bottles of breast milk.  I was given this item as a shower gift and I have used it daily for the past two years.  We have another baby now and we use it all the time.  I don't believe in microwaving babies milk for several reasons.  One is that hot pockets can be created by uneven heating.  Another is that some resources report a breakdown of nutrients in foods heated in a microwave.  So for me this is a great and easy alternative.  The opening of the bottle warmer is wide enough to ...

When I heard about BPA, an additive in plastic that can be found in baby bottles and may cause harm, I decided to trade in my old bottles for new BPA free bottles.  The FDA has yet to ban the use of BPA but I'm still a cautious mom and decided I didn't want to take any chances just in case.  I decided to try Avent bottles.  The Avent bottles that are BPA free are the Tempo line.  This line of bottles uses disposable liners.  This way you avoid having to boil the plastic parts of the bottles so there is no chance of BPA leaking out.  This is ve...

I bought the Medela Harmony when I went on vacation.  I needed to bring something that could express milk, but was not so bulky.I liked the soft breast cup and the handle which allows you to rapidly pump to acheive letdown and then once letdown is acheived their is a lever that you can hold down to continue to express milk.  this product also comes with two travel storage containers.I was suprised to find that the Medela Harmony actually allowed me to express my breast milk faster then my pump in style.  the manual does require a bit more work from the user and is not designe...

When I first brought my baby home I tried this bottle warmer and decided early on that it was not going to work. I tried warming up only a few ounces of formula and it took over 20 minutes! When a baby is crying for food this is not a good product to use. I found it a lot more useful to just put the bottle in a cup of hot water. The warmer does not have a timer or an on/off switch. Each time it is used you have to plug it up into the wall. I just did not find this to be a good product at all. I still have it but I'm not sure if I will ever use it again. I have not tried to warm up baby ...
