Is First Years or Evenflo Breast Pumps Any Good?

When my son and daughter were born premature, the WIC offices where I lived provided a motorized Medella pump supplied from a medical supply store. Obviously this was very good. I know that Medellas are sold in Target but I also seen other brands. Is there an "off" brand ie, Evenflo, First Years, etc. that is comparable but without the price??

Autism and the Army

I was wondering if any mothers out there who are military mommies can tell me anything about having a child with autism while being in the military. My DH is joining the army and I just want to have some things cleared up that I've been wondering about this past week. Okay so the recruiter told us that our son would receive a "check" or "payment" monthly because of his autism. Is this true?? And if so how much will this payment be? If this is not true...then can someone tell me if you know about being able to keep receiving an ssi...

Constipated 4 Month Old

My girlfriend's son is 4 months old and is breastfed. He has been severely constipated for most of his life. The doctor told her to give him 2 oz. of water every day and also to cover a thermometer with vaseline and give him an enema. I wanted to climb on here and ask our fellow mommies what they have done for their little ones in similar situations. Any advice, i'm not sure who I feel more sorry for, mommy or baby! ps....she tried giving him corn syrup mixed with breastmilk, which seemed to work for a couple of days, then the doc...

Causes of Diaper Rash

Hi! My son recently turned one and has started having problems with developing diaper rash. Up until now, we haven't had too much of a problem with this but recently it has become an ongoing issue. I always change his diaper as soon as I know that it is soiled so I don't think this is the issue. I have talked to his peditrician about what could be causing the flare ups and was told that it could be a reaction to something that he is eating. He informed me the only way to find out which food was causing the reaction was to start all...
