Baby Willows certainly doesn’t disappoint! In addition to the easily viewable and accessible category listing, found on the left side of the website, there is also several blurbs about what Baby Willows has to offer. They feature baby clothing, hats, accessories and gifts, but also ideas and products for pregnant women and nursing women. I love these last two categories and the selection that Baby Willows has, because it’s nice to not exclude the not-quite-mothers and the new mothers!

Something that immediately grabbed my attention on the main page is the play garden. I can tell right away that this isn’t something you’ll find in your average Wal-Mart, but it’s also something that is sure to entertain an older baby or toddler, without requiring batteries.

If you’re not sure where to start shopping at Baby Willows, or what exactly you’re looking for, just click on a category! You’ll be greeted with an informational page that details the items you can expect to find in that particular group.

Overall, I am very impressed with Baby Willows, and will probably be heading back within the month to purchase a baby gift for a friend of mine. I’m simply waiting to find out what the gender of her baby is.

I was thrilled at the prospect of pumping and storing milk for my daughter. At first I pumped just here and there, as I was busy breastfeeding my daughter. But by two months of age, due to us introducing a bottle way too early (something I have a lot of regret over, and it made me that much more determined to succeed with breastfeeding my son!), I was suddenly having to pump exclusively. And when you’re pumping to provide milk for a quickly growing baby, you’re going to want to make best friends with your pump. I was attached to mine every two hours for at least twenty minutes at a time.

Pumping was boring, until I decided to hook it up while I was at the computer. Then came the hassle of pumping one breast, and then the other, and losing a free hand while doing so. Then it dawned on me – why not pump hands free? So, I took an older bra and made a horizontal slit over the area where my nipple would be on each cup, and then slipped the flanges inside. They were held in place by the pressure of my breast against the bra, and the whole contraption was great for hands free double pumping.

This breast pump held out beautifully for eight months of continuous, around the clock use at maximum speed and suction. It was a great buy (on the insurance company’s tab ), and I recommend it to any woman that needs a pump!

But overall, I would definitely rate this sling as being worth the buy and use. It makes outings much easier, since we do not have a double stroller and our two year old is too heavy to carry around yet not old enough to walk everywhere, and I know my son enjoys being so close to me.
This sling is also very soft, very flexible, and easy to clean – all definite pluses!
