 Yuck, January 8, 2008
This was the first drink I made with my Tassimo, and I seriously considered taking the machine back! It's chemically tasting and has a bad aftertaste. I gave it 2 stars because I did finish the drink and didn't vomit. I've heard that adding it to a latte covers up the awful flavor to make an OK mocha, but don't waste your money! I recommend buying the latte or cappuccino milk disks and adding your own hot cocoa powder (the Tassimo steams the milk great- better than just hot milk, in a homemade cocoa). All the message boards I read said most of the people dislike the cocoa, I don't know why they keep making this brand!

 Great drink!, January 8, 2008
I'm drinking one now, and it's excellent! The Tassimo machine foams very well, I'm considering using the cappuccino milk disks for the chai (which uses the latte milk disks) and even using the cappuccino milk disks to mix with hot chocolate powder (since the Suchards cocoa is disgusting!). The Maxwell house espresso isn't too bitter like some espressos. I haven't tried any of the other T-disk espressos yet, however. Tastes creamy, yet only 60 calories, which isn't bad for the maybe 10-12 oz of drink you get (considering 10 oz of nonfat milk is 110 calories!). [...]

Great for infants, September 8, 2006
For some reason, my son is obsessed with the star- it was the first toy he would ever pay attention to (at 5 weeks!) and he still loves it. It's a well made gym and I have no complaints with it so far.

 Does its job, September 8, 2006
The PIS advanced is not too comfortable- I previously used Lactina select which beat this one by far for comfort. But this one really gets a lot of milk out! I got on an average of one half ounce less with this pump than with the Lactina select (which is a hospital grade pump) when I had them both at the same time. I wish I could try one of the pumps that claims to be comfortable like the Playtex Embrace to compare them better, I just don't feel that the super hickey vacuum suck is the best approach to keeping my poor nipples happy. But I am definitely impressed with how much I get out!

 Not very comfortable, September 8, 2006
Not that the hard breastshields are very comfy either, but these can be awful! Sometimes, when all conditions are right, they aren't bad at all, but if your nipple is not perfectly centered, the rubbery stuff that makes it 'soft' is kind of sticky and doesn't slide at all, rather it pulls and chafes-- not a sensation I enjoy! But occasionally you get it perfect and it's fine.

This set is a teaser, September 8, 2006
With one of each type of adapter ring, you can't double pump and you can't freeze more than one bottle. However, if you are planning to freeze much milk, don't go with Playtex anyway. You just need to much hardware (a ring and a cap for each bag you freeze- please!). (Actually, I've tried many methods for freezing- save yourself the time and money and just use Lansinoh bags- I know you can't pump directly into them and you can't feed directly from them, but they are far superior anyway!). Despite my other complaints, this set does get 3 stars because it really does minimize gas! My son rarely spits up and hardly even burps after drinking from these bottles! It's really hard to tell how much I've fed him already, but the system is pretty good anyway.

SwaddleMe Infant Fleece Wrap

Helps my baby sleep through the night!, September 8, 2006
This swaddleme is so easy to use, and the slightly stretchy fleece is perfect for swaddling. My son hated to be swaddled with a blanket and would wiggle his hands free so quickly, but with the swaddleme, he can't wiggle out, there's just enough give in the fabric that he doesn't get too frustrated. We originally gave up swaddling and he would sleep for 3 hours like clockwork, but with the swaddleme he sleeps for 6 hours. And I love being able to change his diaper without completely unwrapping him. I haven't used it with his carseat yet, but the way it is set up so that safety is not compromised is impressive.
