Is First Years or Evenflo Breast Pumps Any Good?

When my son and daughter were born premature, the WIC offices where I lived provided a motorized Medella pump supplied from a medical supply store. Obviously this was very good. I know that Medellas are sold in Target but I also seen other brands. Is there an "off" brand ie, Evenflo, First Years, etc. that is comparable but without the price??

Cereal in the Bottle at Night?

Hello all... This is my first posting on this site so bare with me if you can for a bit. I had my baby 5 weeks early and just got to bring her home from the hospital. She is at an adjusted age of 2 weeks, but is already passing many of the month-milestones. Anyway, I am going to have to go back to work soon, and she gets up about every 1 1/2 hour in the night for feedings and tends to "snack". However, during the day she will often go from 3-4 hours between feedings. I have had many people tell me to try putting cereal in her bottle...

Weaning Baby off Breast-milk

I am starting to wean my 10-month old off of breast-milk. He has been drinking BM from a bottle since birth (I pump all BM).Currently, he drinks 4-5 4oz bottles per day. I am down to pumping 2x per day, producing 16-18oz. I noticed that my milk is slowly diminishing since I reduced the pumping frequency to 2x per day. I have a large supply of frozen milk that I've pumped earlier, when baby wasn't drinking as much as I was producing. My question is, if my milk continues to diminish, can I use my frozen milk as the majority of his BM intake,...
