when you first bring baby home EVERYONE who hasn't had a child or at least hasn't had one recently will tell you your baby has mucous and is congested... the fact is they all do from being born... they are slowly going to clear their lungs... this just helped us keep our home from being too dry...keeps dust down or at least not floating around.

these are great for powdered formula. the advantage to formula is that you put in the water... no questions about it being pure or safe. Plus, you mix only the amount you want. I loved the idea of ready to feed until we were wasting it all the time. The blender lets you make a lot or a little at a time with no lumps.
