What is a the best bottle for breastmilk?

Q. I have a friend who will be breastfeeding her newborn and she got everything she needed at her shower but no bottles or storage bags or breastfeeding supplies. So i thought i would get her some of that sort of stuff. Since she goes to school she won't be able to strictly breastfeed without a bottle.Any recomendations on what one to get or any other gift ideas

A. I am preggers and due in a few months so I have done a lot of research.

1) it's great to ensure the bottles or the storage bags or "bottle liners" are BPA- free (and also phthalate-free if you can find that also); That is easy since almost all plastic bottles nowadays (or liners for those which use liners instead) are bpa-free

2) I think that whatever system (AVENT, PLAYTEX, BORNFREE, etc) she gets, remember that is the one that she will have to continue with as far as bottles because each "bottle system" has it's own nipples. Being that it's breast-fed newborn, whatever nipples it's used to, more than likely it will take to it. Different nipples confuse the "Formula-fed" babies, from what I have heard.

3) whatever system "intro. pack" you choose to buy (or more than 1 if you go with Dr. Browns and say Playtex) make sure the mom-to-be can afford to keep up with the prices of the bottles in that line. It is a thoughtful friend who does this!


I found 1 set that I love...it's made for the breast-fed baby to transtion to bottle-feeding because the nipple is designed to feel like and suction like a real breast. It is The Adiri Natural Nurser Ultimate Baby Bottle, and it won the iParenting Media Awards as one of the Greatest Products of 2008

Ideas on a nice way to recognize my mother during my wedding?
Q. My dad is walking me down the isle and that is his moment but what about my mom? My mom and dad are divorced and I want to recognize my mom during the wedding too. The catch is my dad is remarried and even though I don't feel the need to recognize my step mom I don't want to hurt her by not singling her out too. I want everybody to know how much she means to me but my step mom take EVERYTHING personally. I am trying to keep the peace.

A. If your step mom takes everything personally then it doesn't sound like you are going to please her one way or another - that shouldn't stop you from honoring your mother.
Here is what you could do. You could have your father walk you down the aisle, then when the pastor/officiant says, "Who gives this woman?" have your mother stand up and say, "I do." This way she plays a part in giving you away.
You could always dedicate a special dance to her. When my cousin got married she actually had a mother/daughter dance since her parents were also divorced. It was really sweet and a nice moment for both of them.
I think that's sweet you want to honor your mother on that day.
I had my mother walk me down the aisle, but the night before the wedding I also pulled her aside after everyone had gone home. I gave her a special gift that she really loved. Maybe you could try setting aside some time with your mother the day before or the day of the wedding to say a few nice words. I'm sure you saying something to hear will make her feel honored...


What is a good gift idea for a baby shower?
Q. My friend is having a girl and I want to find a creative gift, not just baby clothes or blankets.

A. I read this in a baby magazine, and I thought it was the perfect idea.

If you think about it, everyone will probably be getting something for the baby, but I think it would be awesome to get the soon-to-be mom a gift.

Something that will benefit her while she is pregnant, whether its a sleep pillow to help ease her strain when she is farther along, whether its an at home spa treatment type of gift, (her favorite body wash, loofa, candle, lotion, etc for those difficult days of pregnancy)

I just thought it was a great idea. The expecting mother will apreciate it father down the line. :)

Plus, with my baby shower, I had so many things for the baby, I didnt have much space to store everything! we had so so so so so many blankets, I have a whole stack my daughter hasnt even used, and shes 10 months old.


What should I get my mom for Christmas?
Q. She says she doesn't want anything, but of course I'm going to get her something. She likes to cook but has every cooking gadget imaginable. What do you get a mom who has everything she wants? She doesn't like soaps or anything like that and she doesn't wear make up, but she does like yoga. Any good ideas for hand made gifts? What should I get her?

A. Does your mom need a new mat for her yoga? If so, this would be a great idea. You could scan an old picture that you like of her and make a handmade frame for it. It could be a Christmas ornament for the tree. My mom liked the button down sweaters I got her. Does your mom have a shredder that cuts up credit cards? That would be a useful gift. You could add a small Whitman's Sampler on top of this gift.
