Medela Pump in Style Double Electric Breastpump

When I was trying to pump this is the breast pump I used. I got mine for free through my insurance, so if you want one but think they are pricey I would definitely call up your insurance and see if they will help! The machine itself is very high quality. I like that it come with the bag so you can just grab it and go as well and just know that you have everything you will need in that little bag. Also, the pump is very compact and light weight so it is easy to take from place to place. The pump is pretty quiet as well, I have even pumped before with my son napping in the room with me.

My main thing with this pump was the price, which stayed around the $250 area no matter which store I tried to look for it at ( Walmart, Target, Babies R Us, etc.). One thing I did learn from people who tried to take the cheap way out is that some of the less expensive breast pumps can tend to be more uncomfortable so what would happen is they would buy the cheap pump trying to save money and in the end have to go buy the Medela brand pumps anyways. My advice would be to either bite the bullet and buy the nice Medela the first time around so you do not end paying for the cheap one that doesn't work and then the expensive one as well. Pumping is not the most comfortable experience in the world anyways so I really would spend the extra money if at all possible to get the better pump.

Honest Review: Fisher Price Sweet Snugapuppy Dreams Cradle 'n Swing

Photo Credit: www.babiesrus.com Fisher Price Sweet Snugapuppy Dreams Cradle 'n Swing I originally bought the Fisher Price swing as a replacement swing for the MamaRoo Infant Seat I had, which I described my experience with in another post . I love this swing so much and so does my little boy! He is actually in this swing right now. This Fisher Price swing has three different way you can turn the seat (left, right, or facing forward) so baby can swing different ways. The swing also has multiple speeds so you can swing baby faster or slower. There is also a musical feature where you can choose between different sounds and adjust the volume as well. Another good feature this swing has is that it can plug into the wall so you do not have to worry about having batteries handy. The mobile that hangs above the baby moves in circle to attract the baby's attention, and it has a mirrored dome that the mobile is hanging from so that your baby can see his/her reflection. My...

Honest Review: MAM Anti Colic Bottles

Photo Credit: www.walmart.com MAM Bottles I decided to try the MAM Anti-Colic Bottles because they were recommended to me by a family member. I had originally planned to use the Dr.Browns bottles but I heard they were hard to clean at times. The MAM bottles can come completely apart which I really like because I can get in there and clean each individual part. These bottles also can sterilize themselves in the microwave if you put them together a certain way and fill it up with water (instructions on how to do this come with the bottles) which can be very helpful if you are traveling and cannot use your sterilizer. Another thing I noticed about my son is that he has a very wide mouth when he latches and the nipples on these bottles support wide latches. I tried him on other bottles with different shaped nipples and none of them really worked well for him besides these MAMs. The bottles come in 5oz and 9oz sizes and the colors available right now are purple, blue, and a yellow/...
