I was told to fax in my purchase plan (or receipt) ...I did. Then I was told ...(wait for it)....... to go ahead and pay the bill and THEN they would credit it to my account....and not all of it mind you....only around two hundred...LOL.....I wondered what planet I had been transported to where you owe someone $$$ and choose how much you will be paying back....I talked to everyone and their mother at customer service ( and other depts...I lost track)...went into several sprint stores and FINALLY after three months ( and no phone service because I refused to pay till it was resolved) I got it taken off my bill. — Switched to Cricket...NO SURPRISE!! —...

I'll try to add some that haven't already been mentioned.. like..... it makes you SKINNY. I AM THINNER NOW THAN BEFORE I GOT PREGNANT. No gym..just exclusively breastfeeding for the first nine months!!!! —  If you are a busy mom (and who isn't?)...who has time to prepare bottles and wash them all and how long can you prepare them in advance, anyway?...why stress???? Breastfeeding is food on the fly. Wether you are going out on an outing or to another continent it's one less thing to have to pack or worry about. — I feel for everyone who has had their nipples destroyed. I have been there and now it's just a funny story I'll tell my little cannibal. LOL — Hang in there..get someone who knows to show you how to do it right.......Breastfeeding....it's SOOOOOO worth it. — ...

First in a sling and then moved on to the Bjorn. — Once she hit 15lbs.my shoulders and back screamed in protest. I have to travel often and I tried out all kinds of other carriers.  The backpack ones, like the Kelty, distributed her weight well but were bulky and awkward. The slings and front carriers started to strain my back after only 20 min and EVERYTHING was a hassle to take off and put back on trying to get through the airport security checkpoint. Traveling by myself with an infant was a nightmare. —  Enter the ERGO...I discovered this before going to Hawaii. It made my now 25lbs daughter seem weightless. All her weight seems to rest on my hips. Putting it on is a snap; no folding,  tying,or fighting with straps. I hiked volcanoes, breezed through security, shopped for hours...I did everything with this carrier...even vacuum. My daughter loves it even... Fri, 11 Apr 2008 21:20:30 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/Ergo-Baby-Carrier-review-f4a66 NiaKarina 5
