Anyone Hear Anything About Playtex Breastpumps?

I know that I have had overwhelming results saying Medella is the best and I have been researching the best price. At Target there is one for $129 but is not recommended for daily use so if I am going to get one, it will probably be the pricier ones. However I have come across one from Playtex that is new. Anyone know anything about this one??? Thanks everyone for your responses!

Need Help on How to Use Playtex Drop in Bottles Correctly

My daughter is 2 weeks old and I am using the Playtex Drop In bottles. I am not to sure about these. It seems that when I set the bottle down to burp her the bottle takes in air so I am having to push the bag up each time. Do I need to be doing this? The bag is also not collaping during feedings. She also seems to be taking in a lot of air. Her tummy is always tightening up during feedings. I am current using the 4 oz bottles and making 2-3 oz of formula. It is also hard to check how much she is eating. I am currently pulling down on the...

Sending Drinks to School

Hi Moms, What containers do you use to send lunch drinks to school for your kids? I have 2 in preschool and hate to send sippy cups (they seem babyish) or bottles of water (it seems wasteful to throw them away). I'm looking at Foogo straw cups, but they are pricey. What do you use? Thanks! C.

Recommendation on Bottles

I have been using the Playtex drop ins for my daughter. I've recently weened her and am bottle feeding exlusively and find that the Playtex bottles are a pain and not great for the environment. I am looking to switch to a BPA free bottle. Any recommendations. I haven't heard great things about the Avent brand (leaks) or Dr. Brown's (too many parts to wash). Any advice would be much appreciated.

First Cycle questions....is It Safe for 11 Almost 12 Yr Old to Use Tampons, Etc?

My daughter is almost 12, and just received her very first visit from "Aunt Flo". She started at school, and I had to go and pick her up half-way through the day. She seems to have a VERY HEAVY flow (with some small clotts), and was wondering if this is normal for someone her age.......and is it safe for a girl her age to begin using tampons if she want to try them? I do not remember what mine was like (since it has been about two decades ago) when I first started. Should I be concerned with the heaviness of her flow? Also, if it is ok...
