I've used it during breastfeeding before. You will get very feel green lights. It will depend on your own body signs. They have very good costumer service. Send them an e-mail or call and they are usually fast at responding.

I had the same question, and went to their website to investigate. Here's what they say:"Since the concept of natural contraception is based on recognizing the moment of ovulation, it makes sense to start using the device once you are ovulating again. This means that you can begin using the device once you've had your first new menstruation."Lots of good info on their FAQ's: http://www.lady-comp.com/en/page/frequently-asked-questions

I put Dr Brown preemie nipples on mine and they were still aweful. It makes it very difficult to get formula with out air in it as the formula doesn't fill the nipple until the child actually sucks. Thus they suck in air and then formula. This is with every swallow. Mine were super fussy and gassy afterwards.

I would try without it first. They gave me one at the hospital when breastfeeding wasn't working due to how my nipples are shaped. You may not need one at all, and you have to train your baby to eat without a shield at some point when you use it.

Hi Debra, This was the only bottle that my 4 month old breast fed baby would take. It still wasn't an easy transition since he had previously been only breast fed. We left him at my in-laws house over night and went "cold turkey" switching him to the bottle. Then my husband did all the following feedings for a couple weeks by bottle while I pumped. A hard transition... but I don't think we could have done it without the comotomo bottle.

It was super uncomfortable right after birth so I didn't use it much right away anyway. I've heard people have the best results when they use something right away. I thought thus worked well regardless if when you start.

I have to second Michelle's post. I LOVE my Isis Duo pump & use it 6 times a day---it really pumps out my milk! My breasts grew form 33DD to 33H and my nipples were becoming bruised in the Isis. I removed the petals which helped, but didn't solve the problem. I read about the Pumpin Pal during a late night of very painful pumping & ordered them. They are incredible! The XL encases about half of my breast tissue which seems to pull out even more milk--and the pumping tube is now so long that my nipples don't hit anything--they just extract milk. It's the best complement to the ISIS. I also have the Simple Wishes bra which is also a great product and allows you to go hands free in pumping. Good luck! I have to second Michelle's post.

I didn't use them on day one, but I did start using them at the hospital with my second and third children; probably on the second or third day. Be sure not to just use it exclusively though. You will want to nurse as much without it as with it. My baby is two weeks old and I still use it about twice a day just to give my nipples a rest. Good luck!

I'm not sure...I'm pregnant right now- but have never nursed, but I'm assumin you might want someplace to rest your own head while nursing if you're tired, and the back isn't high enough. Sorry, to not be more help. Guess it depends on how tired you are when you're nursing. :)

It is for babies. It says "for breastfeeding moms" because mothers who are primarily breastfeeding can use this product to supplement their baby's diet. If you have a good milk supply then you obviously wouldn't need to worry about using this product, but if you have trouble keeping your baby well-fed with breastmilk alone, then this product can help.

Baby A is breastfed and still is now she's 10 mos. She used to take bottle and now preferred the hoot. I tried using this bottle, she doesn't really care much about it. But, I have a friend whose baby is breastfed and tool some from this bottle. It really depends on the baby and the shape of your nipple. This one has a pretty big nipple in my opinion. I had better luck with the medela nipple, which is smaller, more to my size.

Well our baby girl was not a preemie but we did try it when she was 1 month old to help her between bottle n breast transitions when she needed to be fed breast milk from bottle. I would not recommend it for a preemie our any small baby. It was to big for our 8 lb baby girl nearly choking her because of the length of the nipple. Being it wasn't cheap and I do like the concept we kept it to try again later and she is just now able to comfortably use it at 6 months and over 14 lbs...

My baby is 3 months and just outgrew it but she is pretty large for her age, 25+ inches and like 15+ pounds. I know of other babies that used it for a lot longer. Even though I only used it for 3 months I feel it was definitely worth it especially if you are breastfeeding!!

I started using this at the advice of a Nutritional Response therapist. She started me out with a half pump dose daily, but after a year, I find I need a whole pump dose. I know it works because when I run out, my hot flashes go from a power-surge to debilitating, drenching, exhausting... get the picture? Her advice is less is best, but not in my case. She also recommends abstaining for five days per month (25th to 30th) but I can't do that either, so I go to half dose as a compromise. My primary care physician says to use as much as I need. I take other supplements that don't seem to help much. Hope this isn't TMI... I started using this at the advice of a Nutritional Response therapist.

Conservative! They still have to work at it to get the milk to come out. It mimics the breast still, but nothing like when we let down, it will allow the child to get more milk at their pace. I stayed with the advised 3+ months before introducing it since they seem to be better "suckers" and can handle a faster flow. If the child can't work the stage 1 nipple then they may still have problems with the stage 2.

To be honest with you, I've no clear idea about this issue. I recommend you to contact producer to make sure since it concerning a baby. Sorry for my failure to help you in this matter.

Pumping sessions depend on each individual. I usually pump 5-10 mins but have pumped up to 30 mins. My daughter is a very efficient breast feeder and at the breast for 5-15 mins on average; therefore that's about how long I pump. I pump until the milk stops, or until I have long pauses between drops. Don't forget that it's common to have more than one let down. Check out Le Leche League website for more info. Good luck!

I'm not the mom; I'm the grandmother. I do believe, though, that my daughter gets Emma ready for bed and then breastfeeds her so that she can put her right down into the crib. Hope this helps. She said the suit has been fantastic, had me get the blue in case they have a boy next time. :-)
