Milk Storage Bags

Does anyone know of any breast milk storage bags (for freezer) that can also serve as a bottle liner that works for the actual feeding? It would save the step of transferring to a bottle for the feeding after thawing the milk...less dishes for me!

How to Clean Playtex Sippy Cups?

Hi moms! My almost 16 month old son has been off the bottle since 12 months and is doing great with a sippy cup. We use the Playtex brand and they have been wonderful. However, we have noticed recently that no matter what we do to clean them, the milk and juice tends to really stick to the hard to clean areas. We do not have a dish washer. Do you have any advice for a safe, effective way to clean them? Thanks!

Milk (Cow's or Goat's) vs Formula for a 1 Year Old

I have exclusively breastfed my 1 year old, but now my milk is starting to slow down & I think we are going to have to supplement soon. Any advice on cow's milk vs goat's milk vs formula? She has never had any of the three. Also, she is a little on the low-weight side (15th percentile), if that makes any difference...

Powdered Vs. Liquid Formula

Hi Everyone, I have a 3 month old baby who is having some feeding issues. From birth he has had acid reflux and he has been on medication for it for about a month. He has gone through periods of massive spitting up, almost like vomit. And he had also stopped eating for some time before he started the medicine. He was on the Similac (soy) powdered formula until it was recalled and we then switched to the liquid (ready to use) formula. Things were getting better, so it seemed. Well we switched back to the powdered formula two days...

Milk Based Vs. Soy

I have a 4 1/2 month old daughter and we started with breastfeeding for 9 weeks (milk dried up) then transitioned to Enfamil Gentlease (for gas/fussiness). She seems to do fine on this, for the most part. But she throws up all the time. Sometimes it is just a little bit but sometimes it is maybe an ounce worth. I am just wondering if this means she might need soy milk. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Playtex Drop-Ins System

With my 2 1/2 year old, we tried nearly every bottle on the market before he settled on the Avent bottles. They were great, but I'm thinking with the next one (due in a couple weeks), I would like to use the Playtex Drop-Ins. But my question is this... To those of you who have used these, how do you warm the milk or formula? Microwaving is always a no-no, and with the other bottles we've used, we heated the contents with a bottle warmer. These say not to put the bottle into a heat source. Do I have to heat it in a separate container...
