What's the youngest age this can be used for? Thinking of getting it for baby before her 6 mo. shots.

It can be used at any age. I find it more of a distraction tool than an actual pain blocker. But it truly does work for decreasing the crying times after shots are given, especially tickling their little feet.

the way it works is icing and vibrating - both distract the brain from painful stimuli - it would be safe for 6 month old - I wish I got it earlier for my kids (started using at age 5)

I use it for every visit to the doc with my little one. She is a year old and I've used it since 4 months. It really helps!

My son's doctor is getting them for her offices. My family loves it. The Buzzy does not have anything that enters the skin. It is cold and vibrating in such a way that you don't feel the shots.

I'm currently using this with my newborn. And depending on the size of your baby and how they grow, I would assume you'd be able to use this until about 6-9 months.

yes this is mainly used for newborns but infants up to 12 months can use it - I would only recommend using it until the baby gets teeth - after that use a stronger nipple.

It states that it can be used for a newborn...but i would be hesitant. The tub is slippery and newborns are so wiggly it just seems a bad combination. I used it around 4-6 months. Hope this helps.

Well our baby girl was not a preemie but we did try it when she was 1 month old to help her between bottle n breast transitions when she needed to be fed breast milk from bottle. I would not recommend it for a preemie our any small baby. It was to big for our 8 lb baby girl nearly choking her because of the length of the nipple. Being it wasn't cheap and I do like the concept we kept it to try again later and she is just now able to comfortably use it at 6 months and over 14 lbs...

6 months. 18 + does not need nipples, you may use some other bottle with a different attachment.

I have been using it with my baby since she was 4 weeks old and 8.5lbs. I would have used it sooner if I had had it. If I have another child I will use it from the beginning!

The company specifies that it not be used on kids as they have not studied the effects it has on their normal development. It's the American way, if a little is good a lot is better, and that doesn't apply in this case. You need very little to keep mosquitos and the like at bay. Being that they have no control over that, they recommend not using it on kids 10 and under.

I got it for my daughter when she was 6 months old. Totally safe. I think as long as she isn't sleeping with it, it's fine.

Yes we are using two of these. One for our 28 mo old, the other 12 mo. We anticipate using till at least 3 years old.

I used with my son when he was about 6 weeks old and he slept good with it. I would say ask your pediatrician if you think it is too early for your baby to use it.

At six month old she is way too young for a pillow. To many safety risks. A pillow can be used starting at age 1 and over. Then this pillow would be an excellent choice.

Definitely not! I think kids up to age 8 (maybe older, if they're small/petite like my daughter) could use it!

We probably used it until 6 months for my son, but we still use it for my 10 month old daughter. She really likes it, so we're still using it, but we need to switch her out soon.

I started to use it with my baby when she was 7 months first time. That worked for her

I am not really sure about the age but it was given to us at the hospital when my baby was born. He was on ready to feed newborn . He is 11 weeks now and still using it.

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.
