If taken as recommended you should notice an increase in supply in at least 72 hours. It is recommended to drink lots of fluid when nursing even when one doesn't feel thirsty. Before and after nursing sessions. Great product!!! I give it a 5 star...does what it says!

There is nowhere to add Vicks with this unit. The mist is also not a steam (not warm) just mist.

I get my capsules at amazon subscribe and save which is a good deal compared to CBTL's website . Thank you for your comment....I will try my machine again....it is a new machine and so I was trying to prime it....and no water came out. I tried mine about 10 times in 2 hours before I gave up. But I will try it again before I put it in the garage. And thanks for the tip on Bed Bath and Beyond.....they used to carry them at Target and I got a good deal when they closed the brand out there.

You don't need anything, keep in mind there is a weight limit for this product (I think it's 14lbs) When the babies are that small they don't move much. Your baby may try to touch the water, but it won't hurt them. Do not get this tub if your baby is over the weight limit, it will not work well

My baby is less than three months old, therefore I still have not filled up the tub all the way. I filled it just enough for him to lay down and not get water on his face or mouth.

Don't think it will work, people buy Nose Frida for out of the house use. Just be careful with using your mouth as a suction mechanism, many people have reported getting dizzy and almost passing out. Honestly, we had to use babyvac no more often than every 3-4 hours, usually in the am right when the child woke up, then around 10 am before going to school, then at 2 when came back, then 6 pm after nap and last time at 9 before bed.

The adult spray now also contains sodium chloride, and is no longer just saline solution. I didn't know if the babies' spray formulation has also changed.

Look on the container; if it's not there look it up online on a search engine. My wife uses it and doesn't have any problems with it; it was recommended by her Doctor.

I do not have the package any more, but I have the product and it is the best thing I ever got. It can be taken apart and placed in the dishwasher or you can put it in the pot of previously boiled hot water to sterilize it. I use dish soap to wash it and put it in the dishwasher at the end of the day. It is plastic and hose is rubbery. It is small but very powerful just as everything else that is made in Japan. I had bought bigger aspirators or automatic ones, but they just do not work. In this one, you place white tip into the child's nostril and the end of hose into your mouth, and pull like you are sucking form a straw. It sounds yucky, but it all ends up in the little plastic cup, and the good thing is you can see how much is really stuck in your child's nose or baby's nose, and what color discharge is. As doctors will tell you anything green or yellow means infection. More often you clean, faster your child will recover and less the chance to develop an ear infection. Hope this helps.

Hi Stacey! The device I have produces clear CS. It works well. I always carry some in an old CS bottle from Higher Nature, and anytime someone has a cough, sore throat, etc., I give them some which is then followed by instant relief. :-) And I'm only using fresh tap water from a well so distilled would probably work even better.

I'm thinking of getting the irrigation system. My doctor recommended irrigating the sinuses with salt water, I just make it at home. I used to use a neti pot, but I don't like it so I just use my clean hand cupped and it works better for me. Yes, it does help much. It also prevents colds and the flu. Another thing that helps my allergies to pollens is filtering the air I have a hepa filter that relieves my allergies after filtering the air for 45 minutes, and rinsing out my sinuses, together that helps a lot. I'm thinking of getting the irrigation system, if it'll save me time. I wish some one who had one would post.

I think so, for a while I put vicks on the swab and made my own method of menthol. It really most about having moisture in the air. Hope that helps.

No you have to use the solution -or at least something similar from another brand. You can only use water for the sponge type humidifier. This guy is composed of several small gel beads that rely on the solution they sell. It looks expensive, but it's way worth it. The beads require much less service than the sponge. It took me a long time to get through my first bottle.

This product should be used with the NeilMed's 240 ml (8 fl. oz.) Nasal Irrigation Bottle sold initially as a kit with some of the premixed packets. Although some have indicated you should use bottled water, I use warm tap water and I do not get any burning sensation. However, my husband recently forgot to put the saline product in his 8 oz. irrigation bottle and it did, indeed, burn like holy heck.

I didnt feel like it! You need to clean two nipples instead of one and that is all! I used Tommee Tippee for my first baby and that yes it was a meticulous cleaning (bad) however, loved the fact my child didn't have gas colic though!

Definitely! You can pick up just the packets at most any store that sells medicine. Amazon also sells just the packets. They are pre mixed and just make sure you use distilled or previously boiled ( and cooled) water while irrigating your sinuses. I recommend this to anyone that suffers from sinus problems.
