Hey! I'm not too sure, you can check wid ur Ob gyn though. but as far as my guess goes, there shouldn't be ny problem since ur using it on ur face, but I wudn't let my baby lick it from my face by any chance.

That is a very good question. As there are medical warnings on some ingredients in face products none of our products contain warnings. -Lydia Ann La Beaute Pure

If you aren't able to wean off the shield, don't worry. You can continue using it for as long as you need to, even all the way. I've been using it since the beginning, for 4 months now. I kept trying to wean off of it at the beginning but we were both getting too frustrated, so I gave up. She's starting to bite now so I'm glad I have the shield!Update: 10 and a half months now, and still using the shield. No problems whatsoever, milk supply has been great, the baby is doing great. She has teeth now so I'm REALLY glad I have the shield!

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!

I am wondering if you took this while you were breastfeeding? Or did you decide against it??

I only used formula with it. It always worked fine. After about 3 or 4 weeks it is time for a new one. But it is intended for a one time use, so 3 or 4 weeks of use is not too bad. My baby used it all the entire time she was breastfeeding.

Yes. We recently just had a baby girl born five weeks early. She's exclusively breastfed. However, I pump milk as well. She began using these bottles at just 8 days old. She hasn't had any issues with them even with her reflux. This is the only bottle that we had success with.... Highly recommended. Hands down thee best.

Meant to add this also....hospitals use petroleum as moisturizer for lips, and the other ingredient is lanolin which is actually recommended for breastfeeding mothers to put on their nipple areas to prevent soreness and cracking....its completely safe for baby. It will soften the lips quite a bit so woulda not recommend for daily use.

Yes, you can use it for formula or breastmilk. On the package it even mentions using it to warm baby food in jars.

I would start with Medela's web site. From what i have heard their customer service is superior. Hope this helps :)http://www.medela.com/AU/en/breastfeeding/products.html

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.

The best thing to do is check with your doctor. I avoided almost everything while I was breast feeding. It is a safe product, all natural but I don't know how it would affect your milk.

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!

As long as you're using fresh bags and nipples it shouldn't be a problem, although I would get some wipes to clean the bottle and the nipple ring atleast once a day. Either germs from hands/accidental dropping or sometimes milk/formula can pool alittle on the inside of the ring. If you're concerned about chemicals that close to your baby's food source, I know there are wipes that are made with natural subtances for on-the-go cleaning for pacifiers and teething toys (safe for baby) so you can just wipe down and let air dry for a minute. But I have used this system since my 7mos baby was born and I go through a whole day just using the same bottle but changing the nipples and bags for each feeding. No problem.

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.

yes it is... I breastfed and had used it. Excellent binky! Make sure to replace as soon as it starts to show wear.

The bottle actually says you can although I have never tried it. At times, I give her a dose right before a feeding and less than the recommended dosage yet it still works.

A little more on these bags here : http://www.medelabreastfeedingus.com/products/584/pump-and-save-bags#!Features. I can't help more. I don't know that it has been demonstrated that these bags are unsafe. For the most part, the milk I pump is given to my daughter the next day, so it's not frozen (freezing makes the breastmilk less beneficial). The frozen milk is there just in case -- and to not throw away the extra.
