Does anyone have experience with this product specifically when they brought their premature child home from the hospital? (27 weeker for us)

My son was not a premie but I have been using this for 4 months now. It works great and you can hear it clearly through a baby monitor (it has only gone off once). My only suggestion is order batteries now; even though they last about 3 mo you don't want to be left without it! I was not able to sleep while waiting for replacement batteries!

I love this product, it gives me peace of mind at night! Our baby was premature as well but not as premature as yours... Make sure when you clip on the Snuza that you fold over the diaper before clipping it on otherwise you will have false alarms!

You should be able to use this for a new born. I didn't use it until my baby was 2 months old but he was a preemie and born at 4lbs. He was too small. I used it when he was about 6 or 7 pounds and it worked great.

Thank you for the advise. I went ahead and ordered it out of our medical fund. But I will definalty look into the babies can't wait for the rest of our modifications.

You cold use it, the problem is if you do not change the diaper in all the night, you could irritate the skin of the baby, if you change it every three or four hours then it is fine.

Yes we used the night and day warmer. I am thinking any warmer would probably work. We took off the top of the bottle when being warmed. Of course we mixed it around and tested it before giving it to the baby. The manufacturer said you could actually put it in the microwave but we didn't do that. Loved the bottles we even dropped them several times on hard services and they never broke. The only complaint I have is they are heavy for the baby to hold.

It's a little late for this reply, but I used this during pregnancy and it helped a lot with nausea. After a while it really bothered my legs and I had restless legs at the end of the pregnancy so I couldn't tolerate the itchy/stingy-ness. This was my third child and I wish I had known about it with my first two! - Amy

I put Dr Brown preemie nipples on mine and they were still aweful. It makes it very difficult to get formula with out air in it as the formula doesn't fill the nipple until the child actually sucks. Thus they suck in air and then formula. This is with every swallow. Mine were super fussy and gassy afterwards.

What a wonderful idea. I haven't tried it, but I can tell you, I sure am going to. WE bought our first Baby Alive this year for Christmas. It has to be okay. I think the main idea is to just have something that won't mildew and get gross, just in case it doesn't all get rinsed out with water. Great idea, good thinking! I think I'll just compare the consistency to Baby Alive food, and if it happens to be thicker, I thin it out with water to make them more comparable. Otherwise, I won't worry about it.

I didn't use them on day one, but I did start using them at the hospital with my second and third children; probably on the second or third day. Be sure not to just use it exclusively though. You will want to nurse as much without it as with it. My baby is two weeks old and I still use it about twice a day just to give my nipples a rest. Good luck!

We used it for formula just fine both Gentlease and Nutrimigen. Of note I didn't try it with the thicker AR formula which has rice starch for acid reflux. It works okay but it is easier just to by the interlock tube and a syringe as we were given at the hospital by the NICU nurses. We found that because our baby was used to the flow of that syringe and it was easier to control---this was too slow and hard to adjust in terms of flow. We only used it a few times before going back to the old system were I tapes the tubing from a syringe to my breast.

Wondering if this worked for your child, or if you found something better? I am looking for a solution to the same problem with my son. Thanks!

I'll bet you can use it! It's really sticky and thick, so make sure your skin absorbs all of the oils before feeding baby again. I used this for my baby's bum actually! I had one bad case of diaper rashes when my son was about 1 month old. It cleared the rashes up within hours, and now that he's almost 15 months, I still apply it to his bum every night. He hasn't had rashes since. I keep a bottle for myself as well for my chapped hands. Works like a charm!

I actually just used the swaddle wraps that they used at the hospital and bought some more wraps from buy buy baby. They worked for me but as they get older the swaddle sheet doesn't stay in place. I have read as well that those changing pad covers work so try that.

I haven't tried that but it seems to key in on the baby's movement more, however any movement will make it think all is ok. Try to only use it in a static environment where the baby is the only thing that can move.

In my own personal experience, if I ran out and was not able to re-order right away, I noticed it "creeping" back up after several weeks. Thankfully, it definitely didn't jump up drastically "overnight". I suppose it depends on each person and how sensitive their body is or severe their condition is.

My baby couldn't latch at the hospital (flat nipples) and I was pressured to give her formula. I had to send someone to get a nipple shield from the hospital. Yes, it's much better if you can nurse right away but if it you have an issue like I did you will feel good to have a solution at hand.

I've used it during breastfeeding before. You will get very feel green lights. It will depend on your own body signs. They have very good costumer service. Send them an e-mail or call and they are usually fast at responding.
