Anyone used....
....a haberman feeder? (have been glued to baby whisperer on home and health all day!). They look really good for BF babies but are quite pricey so thought i'd ask the experts before I invested! Or has anyone found a good alternative?
Also, my mum keeps harping on about using vaseline on LO's bottom - she used it on me and my bro and she is VERY proud of the fact we never had nappy rash because our bottoms were 'water-proofed' by the vaseline. Does anyone else do this??? ADVICE PLEASE!!
Thanks in advance and sorry to g/c (from due in Jan 2010)

I'm currently breastfeeding my 10 week old daughter. For a few weeks I was topping her up using TT bottles and she had no problem with nipple confusion and fed fine.

no idea re feeder
but grace had v bad nappy rash when she was a few weeks old and gp told me this:
at home use cotton wool and cooled boiled water to cleanse then dry, smear vaseline over bits then renappy
if out use wipes, but try to use water too to wipe off the chemicals the wipes have on them
the water is to wash away the chemicals disposable nappies contain and the wee that gets locked into skin, vaseline prevents too much of this happening due to it forming a barrier
HTH
