I used this while breastfeeding, sometimes even before feeding the baby, and he's doing great. At some point the doctor told me I could use coconut oil. I'm not breastfeeding anymore, but now I put an empty glass jar in a bowl of boiled water, and I melt lanolin in half of the jar and then put in an equal amount of coconut oil. It's wonderful. I use it on the baby and on myself. I told my husband we won't be buying body lotion in this household anymore. This is the best.

We actually fed our baby from a bottle with expressed milk after a week. I started pumping and we did not give him a bottle frequently...mostly in the evening when my husband would feed him before bed. He had no problems continuing to breastfeed until he was a year. The other option would be to mix it with a little water and feed it to your baby in a bottle before or during a breastfeeding session.

We introduced around 6 months, my son had a learning curve on how to suck successfully from it. He's 15months now & we have several & he still likes them.

Lol! I hadn't noticed but I feel like my baby was completely safe when she was smaller. She is 14 months now and I have been using it since she was 9 months about 3 days a week. She can climb out of it now and it tips so maybe that's why? Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I completely took the nipple apart after every feeding and washed/scrubbed each piece by hand. I sterilized it out of the box and then probably 1x/month or so for the first 3 or 4 months.

Yep! My daughter (18 months) would use it on herself, and then want to "suck mommies boogies". I didn't even realize how congested I was one day until she caught me off guard with the Baby Vac. It was amazing the difference...and how much better I felt.

Tricia is correct. I will add that Medela does make an excellent slow flow nipple. Our daughter started on that, which then helped her learn to breastfeed.

Absolutely. I'm an exclusive pumping mom with an 8-month-old son, and it has been wonderful.

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.

My son hasnt used it yet...I didn't think it would be difficult for him but since he's exclusively breast fed he's doesn't care for it. Sorry can't be more helpful

Hi Melissa, not a big fan altogether but I think best thing to do is to stop by a store and try it. Congrats on your baby!

Hi! Not sure.. My baby was already 1 when I bought it so I didn't try but perhaps you can. He'd be sitting straight up so it might not be the most comfortable position to always nurse like that...

I tried like crazy to get my little guy to latch. I had to use the shield to even make it work. I would try to pump and then get him to latch, and no such luck. I was never able to wean him off it. :( it only lasted three months though I ended up drying up, I don't think it was caused by the shield. I also found that the Medela therashells helped draw mine out some, wear them between feedings they also helped lots! Good luck!

My husband told me a year but u can ask the sellers before buying also look into meyenberg goat milk it's great. My son can't drink cow milk & this u can find in any vitamin store near you or u can find it in any organic or healthy markets near u.

I did the same thing and my husband has had success with it. I will ask him about it tonight and get back to you. :)

from what i have seen in 9 months the answer is no. if you want breasts then this product is great. it will give you all you want and maybe more. if not then i would say dont use it. what i have seen and read it stays with you for good. hope this helps
