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

**As far as the niplettes slipping off, get a $1 tube of personal lubricant. You put it on the entire area, then put the niplette over it. It creates a seal that was strong enough for me to sleep in! Yes! I started using mine as soon as I found out I was pregnant. The longer/more often each session you use them, the faster/better the long term effect will be. I've had flat/inverted nipples my whole life, just never knew the terminology. After 6 children and only the last baby bf successfully for 6 months ONLY because I wore breast shells 24/7 before delivery and for 6 months after, I was determined to bf again... With a lot less trouble! These are great! **As far as the niplettes slipping off, get a $1 tube of personal lubricant. You put it on the entire area, then put the niplette over it.

Good for you for breastfeeding 3!! (I am a Lactation Consultant) Yes, I think it would work but it has been quite a while since i tried it on.

I am also a nursing mom of a 4-month old and have been using the BodyBugg (similar product-same manufacturer different on-line tools) for 2 months and feel it has been pretty accurate. I have already reached my pre-pregnancy weight and am continuing to lose weight at a rate of just over 1 pound per week. I've found the online tools very helpful in tracking the quality of calories I'm eating (more protein, less "junk"). I'm not sure about the online program for this armband, but I think it could be a very helpful tool. Best of luck!

How many do you need in the 1st year? I a actually have 5 bottles so I get a bottle that already has the nipple and then 2 packages of 2. 1 hole is great for the 1st few months, then when your baby is eating more, go to 2 holes and then after a few months go to 3 holes. Don't worry about following the timeline set by Avent. If the milk is thicker more holes is better but just know that your baby may not be ready for more holes if they spill a lot. Also if they get suction blisters on their lips, that's a clear sign to up the holes on the nipples. I hope that helps. Good luck!

There is nothing on the packaging or bottle itself mentioning that it is not safe to take while breastfeeding. If it helps you to decide at all. I have taken it while breastfeeding and I give it to my toddlers. Ages 2 and 4.

I found it most useful when my daughter was small. Up to about 3 or 4 months old. By then, we were both into the swing of breastfeeding and I was more confident too. I think it could still be used for an older baby though if required.

I'm not sure if it can be used while breast feeding. I believe it's too big to fit in your lap, and the middle is lower than the edges. It would be difficult to position. I have the standard Boppy as well. I think this serves a completely different function.

If you want dad to be able to feed too, i suggest medela calma. I bought and use both Philips Avent Natural and Medela Calma and i find that Medela Calma system is closer to mother's breast.

I am a 36 D to DD when nursing and it worked fine for a short time. However, it broke and the company would not do anything to rectify the situation. Your money is better spent on a better pump, even if it costs more money. You should consider investing in a Medela. Please read my review and don't waste your money!

hi , looking over the reviews it sounds like they come with a average nipple not for newborns so maybe get some nipples for newbornsand save the ones they come with for the future . i bought this product as a baby gift for my niece's baby . her baby shower was huge but the baby bottles she used were the ones i bought her . those old fashion glass ones along with another gift of all 3 stages of nipples.

I had to replace them probably once a month because I would deflate one of them eventually... But yes I microwaved them multiple times a day and just kept them in my bra. Apparently they are really helpful postpartum with problems like mastitis too, although I did not have that issue luckily, so I can't speak to that directly. Good luck!

Hi all I can say is I wish I would of taken this from day one at the hospital. It took my. About two to three days for it to start working full on. I don't have to supplement with formula anymore. My son is 4 1/2 months 18 lb 27. The dr told me I could start to try baby cerial but I haven't had the need to feed him baby food yet he's gets all he needs from me. I'll wait till 6 months but this capsules are really worth it. Tell her not to get discouraged. Pump for 10 min 2 to 3 times a day or just let the baby eat anytime the baby wants and for as long. I'm passed that stage of him nursing every 1 1/2 to 2 hr. Now it's more like every 3 to 4 hrs. It's hard in the start and that's why most mothers give up. But keep up the nursing and pumping and take these supplants and she will be happy she did.

Only one device was sold on Amazon, but you can purchase a pair from the Milkies website. I've considered purchasing a second device since it does such a good job of collecting. However, I really only see using one at a time (while nursing on the other breast). If the milk saver was less bulky and were a closed unit to prevent spilling, then I would definitely order a second to wear while going about my day. But they are rather large and cannot be concealed under clothing. And I've forgotten twice and bent over, spilling all my collected milk. Therefore, it really should only be worn while actively nursing and should be removed when you remove the baby.

I am wondering if you took this while you were breastfeeding? Or did you decide against it??

Hello,To be honest we stopped using this brand a while back, first of all as they didn't not feel "comfortable" putting "baby" on it for us was a big red flag.Yes we know breast milk is the most important nutrition a baby can get but we also need some clarity here! lolI don't see any other brands using this term so not sure exactly why they would use this as an excuse.Anyway we switched to Holle, some much more exceptional product, wow nothing even comparable on the market.I would just recommend that instead, well worth it and it seems every body that tries it is completely sold on it.Good luck!

Hi... former breastfeeder here... wouldn't the suction devices just need to evert the nipples just long enough for baby to get a good latch? I would think the repeated suction over the course of time nursing of the baby would do far more than any gadget toward any kind of permanent eversion of inverted nipples. I started out with normal nubs before nursing my children and it took years for my nipples to go from half inch long down to large nubs.
