Has anyone tried using this for breastfeeding?

I was planning on using it for the same thing! Did you end up buying it? How did it work out?

I haven't but I'm sure it would work just fine as the back is strong enough to support the mother's back and the arms would give her support to hold the baby comfortably.

No, I'm a 68 yr. old female so a bit old for that use. My daughters-in-law used boppies and they worked well. I'm afraid I'm no help in that area.

my wife always used it and still using it for breast feeding along with the boppy pillow

I do have trouble mixing this into breastmilk at least, my LO is young enough that is all she eats as well so perhaps it is just the breast milk, but I thought I would give everyone an update.

I have not tried it - but my vegetarian daughter says you can use it successfully on Almond Milk.

It has a very slight effect on the muscles tones. But I would say that if you use it for as many hours as possible everyday you might increase your results. Also, breastfeed for as long as you can! :) Goodluck.

I wouldn't say these bottle were brilliant for gassiness they are excellent for breastfeeding babies who don't want to take bottles, I would recommend that you try the Dr Brown bottles that is what they are specifically for and they really do work.

I don't think its made specifically to accommodate nursing, but I know moms who have been able to. Personally I don't think I could haha!

This product does not necessarily helps with lactation but if the mother is already breast feeding it will help draw out the milk, but not pump it out.

Yes, we've been really pleased with it. If the baby isn't breastfed then there's no point buying this, but if the baby switches back and forth between bottle and breast you'll be happy to have it. If you're buying it for a mom who already has a bunch of Medela stuff (pump, bottles, etc) then I recommend buying the CALMA nipple in the 8oz option. Unless the prices have changed, you get way more for your money with that option (2 bottles versus just 1) and I already had a bunch of 5oz Medela bottles. The two 8oz bottles that came with the CALMA nipple i purchased are still the only two 8oz bottles I own, so I'm glad I did it that way....kinda killed two birds with one stone.

I don't see why not- I would just mix the formula first completely and then add the breastmilk and mix a bit more. You won't regret buying this- it really comes in handy!

Yes, I have. Always remember to heat milk slowly...I really love this product. Bought a second for my daughter!

No I do not recommend using it at night (as in during your sleep) It will spill all over. I suppose you could modify a milk storage bag to it and attempt to wear it to bed. I just have not had the need to try it. My use is when i'm nursing and have such forced let downs. It collect the milk instead of loosing it to a breast pad.

I breastfeed exclusively and have no issues with this pacifier. My daughter has only used these soothies and won't take anything else.

the pump was great while i was using it...i have now stopped breastfeeding unfortunately but the memory function does come in quite handy...only thing is be careful of the connecting powerpoint plug...the one that comes with the pump is uk or us fit i think and because i live in australia i had to attach a different power outlet cord which i happened to have one spare!

I only used formula with it. It always worked fine. After about 3 or 4 weeks it is time for a new one. But it is intended for a one time use, so 3 or 4 weeks of use is not too bad. My baby used it all the entire time she was breastfeeding.

I don't see why not but it might not be as effective. Some thoughts from me.....I have fed 4 babies with formula and have mixed other vitamins and such with it. Sometimes the mixture will cause a breakdown of the milk if you try to save the unused portion (not saying that the Gripe Water will do that). If your baby won't take it from the dropper which would be a normal baby behavior try just putting a dose into a bottle with 1/2 oz and feed them that before giving them the full meal. That works for me almost always w/o fail on all meds, vitamins, etc. Good luck! Colic is a tough trial.........I swear by giving a Chiropractor a shot!! May take 3 or 4 trips but the sanity for you and the relief for baby!!!!!!! :-)

I have not but it works great for spice bottles. I'm sure it would work for baby food as well. The non skid pad works pretty good.

No, I used this for 2 weeks at every feeding and it could have still been used. I also had the bigger one and the smaller one is so much easier to use. I adapted it by getting some 1/4 inch elastic and trying a piece into a necklace. That was much easier to use than the lame clip that it comes with. Good luck with nursing!
