Cons: Narrow spout

Best Uses: Meals, Travel, Snacks, Anytime

Describe Yourself: Harried Mommy of 3, Parent of Two or More Children

A lot of cups/bottles claim to be shaped "like Mom" but they just...aren't. I don't know many people whose nipples sick out 3 feet and are completely flat at the end. This cup's spout really is shaped like a nipple. Consequently, my baby has an easier time latching on. However...I don't know too many people who have nipples the diameter of an atomic sub particle, either. The spout is the perfect length, it just needs to be a bit wider so that when babies latch on, they aren't taking in most of the lid with the spout. When that happens, I will give this product 5 stars. However, lots of cups say they don't leak, but still do, and this one stays true to it's promise. It doesn't leak. Unlike nursing mothers everywhere...

Pros: Comfortable, Convenient, Almost womb like, Lightweight, Durable, Easy Use, Easy Setup, Portable

Cons: Can get hot

Best Uses: Daily Use, In the baby swing, Travel, Infants, Newborn

Describe Yourself: Parent of Two or More Children

With our first two children, we did not have this, so as newborns they just seemed to be dwarfed by their gigantic infant car seat, and their little heads just kind of drooped. I always wanted one of these, and insisted we get one this time around. My husband reluctantly acquiesced. He was skeptical about the product and thought it was a waste of money when we could just use rolled up receiving blankets to support our new baby's head. To make a long story short, we got it, used it, and loved it. Our baby's little head never had to droop in his car seat, he felt more secure surrounded in the cacoon like body support, and I felt like he had an extra layer of protection. BONUS: We used it in our travel swing when he was little so his little head didn't droop in there, either, and the body support thing was great for helping him feel cozy!

Pros: Effective, Acts Quickly, Easy To Use

Cons: Messy

Best Uses: Infants, To Keep On Hand, Toddlers

Describe Yourself: Harried Mom of 3, Parent of Two or More Children

I used this for my kids' diaper rash. It works very well. Their diaper rash was significantly improved overnight and gone within a couple of days. There were only a couple of drawbacks for me: the smell (like bug spray mixed with baby powder & arsenic), and the fact that it doesn't wipe off as easily as I'd like. but other than that, this stuff gets the job done.

Love, love, love this product. soothes and banishes diaper rash quickly, and is still easy to wipe off, doesn't have the overpowering odor of other diaper rash ointments, and has beeswax in it, so I know it's really sealing out wetness. My baby doesn't cry when I put it on, so I know it isn't burning his poor bottom!
