I opened the package and checked out the bottle - I even sterilized it and tried it on a baby that needed some help.  IT was useless. Requires the baby to lie on back with head extremely extended to get milk into the nipple!  It's a marketing ploy.  Just like sending free formula.

Subject: Lansinoh



First I will apologize as I have not been giving any input in the last several months.  I just searched the archives but found nothing addressing my issue.  Today I received a box delivered via Fed Ex from Lansinoh!!  Has the name of the hospital I work for on it as well as mine AND my credentials!  Strange!  I would not think ILCA or the IBCLC would share that.  My last thought was LaLeche which at one time I was involved in.

Anyway, the contents of the box are interesting.  First the large item; an Affinity Pro Double Electric Breast Pump!!  Also a 'slow flow' Lansinoh Momma Natural Wave Bottle, a package of 3-in-1 Therapearl Breast therapy, two packages of Lansinoh Disposable TheraPearl  Sleeves...lots of information and a packet of fliers and coupons!  HUH??

I am confused!  Did all IBCLCs get this package!?  They are asking for me to sample these products and give them a review.  They state that by providing feedback you will be entered to win several different items they list!!

First, the only product I am familiar with of theirs Lansinoh Lanolin.

Okay lactation buddies....what do you say about this!!??  Our hospital is in the second phase step of Baby Friendly, so I cannot endorse a product by handing things out.  The pump would be nice to give to someone in need that cannot afford one, no insurance, ect, or maybe a WIC patient who does not qualify for a WIC pump.  Those of you that also received this 'gift', tell me what you are going to do with it!!!  Many thanks...Kerry
