HELP!!! does anyone know…

anything about latex-free nursing products? breast pumps, pads etc? I have been searching for the past 2 days, and for some reason, all of the companies and websites that I’m finding say NOTHING about being latex-free or not! GRRRR I’m so frustrated! the bottles and such I have figured out,but I’m ata loss about the rest, it’s driving me crazy! If anyone knows anything about this stuff, Please, please, please let me know! I guess i should note that I don’t have a latex irritablility, I have the anaphalaxis kind…latex will actually kill me!
(funny story: Did you know silly putty is latex? I wish they would put warnings on this stuff! I found some silly putty while going through drawers a couple days ago, and without even thinking, I was playing with it……BAD!! instant hives, throat started to close! I was eating popcorn at the time too, so my tounge swelled, and I have hives on my tounge. It’s a good thing I have paramedic friends! or I would’ave gotten a ride in the big orange and white bus! A very kind friend of mine came and gave me a shot of benadryl (yes I called my OB first) stupid silly putty!!!)

That’s what I thought too, but when I registered, they weren’t positive, she said some of them were latex. I had thought they went to silicone. I tried the major brands websites (Doc brown, aventi, playtex) and the websites say nothing, I didn’t think to call, thanks I’ll try that too!!

Thanks Frozen, the bottles and drop in’s I have figured out, most of those are labeled, it’s the other stuff I can’t seem to get info on, but thanks again!! 😀

ive messed around with latex and its pretty easy to tell latex form silicone . laytex has a texture to it and a rubbery smell . Silicone is usually has a shine to it and little to mo texture . Just look at an old silicone glove it feels a bit gritty , Silicone is much smoother

But wouldn’t she have to touch it to tell the difference??
Yes, I would, and therin lies the problem. I can’t do that. While most stuff I can visulally tell is latex or silicone, there are componets in things that I never would have guessed that have put me in the ER. I will be making lots of phone calls, that seems to be the only sfae thing to do, especially because you can’t return these kinds of things. Oh well, thanks for trying guys!!

My first born arrived when I was only 27 weeks and had problems digesting any formula. LLL was a wonderful help to me than. Surly they could connect you with latex free resources if anyone can.

OOH!! didn’ think of them, THANK YOU!!!
