For those who felt calma helped baby to learn to latch, how soon did you notice a difference? And how many weeks was baby?

Our baby did not have an issue with latching, the problem was with the Chicco bottles. He got lazy from those bottles because he did not have to suck hard to get the formula/breast milk, so he did not want to nurse. Once we switched the the Medela nipple, that issue went away. They have to build up a vacuum in order to get the milk to flow through the nipple, mimicking the nursing process. They are expensive, but well worth it.

I can't say it helped my little one to learn to latch, it just helped with her confusion between breast and standard bottle nipple. We started using it week 3 and has helped a lot. I could tell almost immediately that there was more consistency for her. I really like the calma. I like how she can control the flow so much better too. It helps with her gassiness and burping. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi Meg, I have an 8 week old (baby#3) and I have been using it as an all over moisturizer. Keeps skin nice and soft with consistent use. This oil and the Badger Baby Balm works pretty well for cradle cap too, although nothing has compared to pure jojoba oil. That's only my experience though, what works for one baby may not work for another. Hope that helps a bit.

Depends on how old she is and if she is already teething. I had mine the day I picked up Louie at the breeders, I put it in with him that night and every night or about8 weeks, and never heard a peep out of him at night or crate/nap time......it was absolutely wonderful, he still is a great sleeper now even tho he doesn't want it anymore and did try to tear it up when he was teething, so I put it away and will donate it. For me it worked as it said it would do and was worth every penny, I hope it does the same for you.

Yes, I believe so. We started at 3 weeks, but I suppose it depends on the size of the newborn.

I found it most useful when my daughter was small. Up to about 3 or 4 months old. By then, we were both into the swing of breastfeeding and I was more confident too. I think it could still be used for an older baby though if required.

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.

Hi there congrats on new baby!!! My baby was born a month earlier and her we has to work on her weight due to her early birth but I put her in the cangaroo bag when she was a month and a half . I had a cheaper one but it didn't offered a solid back support but this one is perfect. I am not going to lie I have tries several and they are all kinda complicated to put on and then of but I like this one. Hope I could help :)

My baby is 3 months and just outgrew it but she is pretty large for her age, 25+ inches and like 15+ pounds. I know of other babies that used it for a lot longer. Even though I only used it for 3 months I feel it was definitely worth it especially if you are breastfeeding!!

My stretch marks are from my pregnancy and I didn't start using this product until about 7 weeks after having my baby. I honestly feel like I've noticed a difference in the week that I've been using it! However, I'm sure it depends on the type of skin it is being applied to and how deep the stretch marks are. I've noticed a difference on my lighter marks so far.

Sorry it took me forever to answer. I started the training around 28 weeks and it was perfect. The only added benefit to starting earlier is that it helps you sleep at night. You should be fine waiting a few weeks and ordering it with your gift cards! Good luck! In my opinion Hypnobabies is the best choice you'll make for your pregnancy!

I've relied on it since my little boy was about four weeks old. The baby's body temperature, is pretty stable from the beginning, so age shouldn't be an issue.

It took my daughter a few days to learn to sleep on her tummy. It wasn't as bad as I thought it might. It was similar to my son learning to sleep not swaddled. Anything new always takes a few days I think

Used 17 months now with no sagging. Only thing is, we used the infant side until 12 months, then I flipped it and the toddler side now seems firmer! That's because she broke in every square inch of the infant side. When we use it for a new baby, we'll just have to put it on the toddler side. They are both super similar anyway--I'm not worried a bit.

For me, it was about 8 weeks. I love this stuff! I also take Biotin and Cellfood. Cellfood is awesome too!
