Is it any good for a breastfeeding mother or mainly for formula fed babies?

It's great for both. I pour boiling water in mine and put it in my diaper bag for the day. When I need to heat a bottle (breastmilk or formula), I just unscrew the top and pour the boiling water in the cap and place the bottle inside and it's warm in minutes. It's just like having a thermos. Great product!! I wouldn't have survived without it!

Yes it is! I would carry bottles of breast milk with ice packs around them and then use this to hear up the milk. You just dropped the bottle into the hot water and it was ready to go in less than 5 min! It was a life saver!

I found it worked more efficiently and faster to warm up my breast milk bags than it did formula in a bottle. I highly recommend this and wish I had it for my other two kids. I now carry warm water in it to make my formula bottles or to warm up baby food. Hope this helps!

If you pump and bring cold breast milk places, this is good to heat bottles of breast milk. If your using bottles it's good basically. You can heat jars of food later too. I love it.

I would imagine it would be good for both. I wouldn't warm it as long as I would formula tho.

Hi Abbie,I did a lot of research before I decided to use Baby's Only toddler formula. I wondered the same thing, because I was looking to switch my daughter at 4 months as well. I read on many different websites, including their own. that they label their formula "toddler formula" because as a company they feel that the best milk for babies is breast milk. Here is a quote from their website:"Breast milk is the best organic choice. Baby's Only Organic® is labeled a toddler formula to promote breast milk as the best first option. Following breast milk, parents can continue providing organic nutrition using Baby's Only Organic® formula. For a baby less than 12-months, use as directed by a healthcare professional.

Of course! Just remember that you should only keep a 24 hour supply. Some say 48 hours but, why risk it :) Also if your pediatrician approves it I used motherlove more milk special blend it helped my supply a lot since I was exclusively pumping for a preemie who couldn't latch on. It's a lot of work just keep going as long as you can! And pump as often as you can, you should read about power pumping that helped me a lot as well. Also try motherlove nursing cream its great!

Well I use it for baby formula and with newborns it took about 2-3 days to go through a batch. I haven't really ever had enough made to go longer than that. I probably wouldn't go longer than 4-5 days personally.

I'm pretty sure it is... I have been using this since my LO came out of the hospital and he doesn't like anything else besides the similac one.. What you could also get is the MEDDELA bottles with medium flow nipple at Walmart which are pretty good as well.

I called Abbott Labs to ask about this.. I was told that Similac for Supplementation is fine to feed a baby who's not being breastfeed.. It offers complete nutrition.

I would definitely recommend as my baby is exclusively breast fed and she could easily use this one , she is still using it! She is 1 y o now�

Yes. I've mixed it with both breast milk and formula and have had no issues. Also it didn't matter whether the milk was cold or warmed.

When you call them, they clearly state that they promote breast feeding, hence the 12 mos+ suggestion. However, nutritionally, it is the same as any other formula on the market- it simply has superior ingredients and processing. You cannot go wrong with the brand. We absolutely loved it. I had to supplement 2-4 oz at birth for my son and continued using it until he was 18 mos. I really believe this stuff is safer than nearly any organic milk we can buy at the store since the quality of processing varies so much in the dairy industry.

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

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.

The supplementing formula contains what they call "comfort proteins" which are basically probiotics. These can aid in the baby's digestion and is supposed to be more similar to breast milk. I think it may have more iron as well, but I'm not sure about this.

Not sure it would keep milk that long. Personally I wouldn't trust it for more than a few hours for milk for babies.

Absolutely it can be used for baby food. It's one of my favorite kitchen tools. It has different sizes and the smallest pulls every seed and peel out of every thing. I love this tool. Very smooth.

You can def. use it for formula but they get tired faster because they have to work at sucking, I recommend the regular medium flow nipples for formula.
