As unpleasant as pumping can be, this pump does the trick. Portable - easy to use and it works. It has a double pump which is efficient and the parts are pretty simple (and there are only a few parts required). The pump isn't cheap - so only buy if you plan on using one long term. Either rent or buy one used online. My third baby decided that the breast wasn’t her thing at 2 months so I decided to pump – and have continued for 6 months.

]]> Comment on Guzzie & Guss GUGU 102 Stroller by Yuliya http://thebabyscoop.com/products/strollers/guzzie-guss-gugu-102-stroller/comment-page-1/#comment-6033 Yuliya Wed, 02 May 2012 18:14:37 +0000 http://thebabyscoop.com/?p=10050#comment-6033 Motherhood is fun, but hectic. Every day is full of errands that can’t wait and the baby that constantly needs my attention. There is no time for a break for a mom on-a-go. But I can still make the most of my day because I have a stroller that meets my everyday needs. When I did my stroller research, I narrowed down some key points: 1. low-resistance rolling for easy maneuvering 2. one-touch brakes 3. recline and reversible seat that converts to a bassinette 4. large, accessible basket 5. Reasonable Price (for a mom on a budget) There are lots of strollers on a market, and it is not so easy to find “the one”. However, only few had characteristics I was looking for. Even fewer did fit my budget. One of my friends told me about Guzzie+Guss G+G 102 Stroller, and I decided to “test drive” it. It was so easy to maneuver and had many features. Fully suspended aluminum frame, air filled tires, telescoping adjustable handle, one-touch brakes, three-position recline and reversible seat that converts to a bassinette (no need to buy a separate bassinette), full rain gear, an insulated footmuff, large, accessible basket and more for a reasonable price. Comparable strollers were much more expensive. So, I have made my choice. I am a busy mom on a budget, and I am very happy with my G+G 102 Stroller. Motherhood is fun, but hectic.

I joke that it's like walking through an uppababy convention downtown. It's a great stroller - easy to use not too heavy. Very flexible with the bassinet, car seat adapter and regular seat. Also stylish. this is probably the most popular stroller in Toronto, at least downtown for sure. I joke that it’s like walking through an uppababy convention downtown.

So, we decided on this crib and love it. Simple clean lines it fits in well with our modern nursery and is very affordable. although I would love an ultra modern, beautiful crib, there is no way I’m spending that much money on something with such limited use.

Plus, it's a hassle to use - changing the bags is both an art and science and takes much too much time. Until babies are on solids, a regular garbage bin with a lid will do just fine. I got one at loblaws for $20 and it's better looking and I can use regular bags. This is almost a scam… the price of the pail plus all the specialized bags is just insane.

The only downfall that I would point out is that they are sooo expensive I would wait for a sale or just get a couple items for special occasions. I even found gently used items at garage sales, just a thought. I love the carter’s line of clothing they are too cute on my daughter and any other baby that I have seen them in.

They are too short when getting the size by weight. to get a good fit we had to go up a size and then they were a bit too big. Wasn't too happy about that.

Surprising because other brads I tried would either barely fit or just not look good at all. These items I felt great and looked nicer than wearing my 'frumpy' clothes as I would call them. If you are pregnant I would check them out for sure! I bought two sweatshirts and a few other things from Old Navy when I was pregnant and they fit great.

Plus inhaling that stuff is not good for my nose and especially my baby's. I hate the smell of it and how it gets all over the place when you use it.
