I only use my amp-iso glasses for driving, but they do make veins easier to see.

Although I am not a medical person, I have never heard of any honey being unsafe for children. Whether they would enjoy it is anybody's guess. I love the taste but a visiting friend asked to taste it and she responded with, "That is nasty!" I was shocked, as I think it is yummy. But, although I like the flavor, I actually use it for esophageal reflux. It works better than any prescription or O.T.C. medications. And by the way, it works great for wound care, sore throats and many other ailments with its natural antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties. If we give credit to the 2,940,000 web pages, it is able to leap tall buildings in a single bound! I would say, "Give it a try."

I ordered this to use for my 18 month old daughter who sucks her thumb relentlessly. The idea behind the device is good, but it is not a good fit for her because too much condensation builds up in the area surrounding her thumb causing her skin to stay in a constant moist state. That being stated, the device could technically be used on the index finger, but I wouldn't advise it because I don't think it will be very comfortable for your child. I have resorted to covering my daughter's hand with a sock and securing it with medical tape. The sock method works the best for her; it's breathable, keeps her thumb out of her mouth and she is still able to grasp onto things.

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.

Hello,To be honest we stopped using this brand a while back, first of all as they didn't not feel "comfortable" putting "baby" on it for us was a big red flag.Yes we know breast milk is the most important nutrition a baby can get but we also need some clarity here! lolI don't see any other brands using this term so not sure exactly why they would use this as an excuse.Anyway we switched to Holle, some much more exceptional product, wow nothing even comparable on the market.I would just recommend that instead, well worth it and it seems every body that tries it is completely sold on it.Good luck!

I have not tried this personally. I mailed this to my daughter who has a new baby and is breast feeding. I was hoping this would give her back support at night.

Hi... former breastfeeder here... wouldn't the suction devices just need to evert the nipples just long enough for baby to get a good latch? I would think the repeated suction over the course of time nursing of the baby would do far more than any gadget toward any kind of permanent eversion of inverted nipples. I started out with normal nubs before nursing my children and it took years for my nipples to go from half inch long down to large nubs.

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.

I haven't used the others so I can't compare. But I can compare it to a Medela and the spectra was much easier to clean. Milk never got in the tubes at all. And it pumped so much better and there was a lot less pain than with my medela.

I wouldn't advise doing so. You wouldn't be able to get the head support and secure strap tightening that you'd need for your newborn to be safe.

What I intend to use is for medical purpose; saliva or blood. My mother has renal failure and her transplant got rejected; potassium keeps varying (she had a close call at 9 mmol). I live in India and shipping this doubles the actual cost. Plus I wont get any support here. I will give it a try as I dont have an option. I cant seem to find sampling sheets on amazon. Can someone provide me a link please? I will buy the unit, an extra sensor head and sampling sheets.Deb, did you use it for checking blood potassium? Im sorry it does not work for you; but others have commented positively. Maybe you should get it replaced once again. What I intend to use is for medical purpose; saliva or blood.

I checked the instructions, and it does not say that it can be used for infants. By looking at the device itself, I would say that the bevels for the finger clamp would be too big.

I have had the best luck with born free. They are BPA free and work great with babies with or without reflux issues.

a couple of years ago I volunteered in an Outreach science workshop for middle school girls and I used them for an intro to spectroscopy at an elementary level. we passed the glasses out and while the girls played around with them marveling at the rainbows in the lights we explained refraction and spectrums, it was a lot of fun and i think the children got a kick out of the glasses. i don't believe you can use them for 3d tv's their pretty much just for filling your world with rainbows.

You might also check to be certain ionized air is safe for a baby. For adult use and settings other than an airplane, I will say that I love this device. I believe it helps with my allergies.

Not that I Know about, ask Masimo. Adult probe will probably work on a neonate.

Cristina, I haven't tried this. If you're near a medical library (larger hospital or medical school), one of the librarians may be able to help you. They may have tried this or read about it. And another thought, write to the company. Let me know what you find out. Charles
