I am a guy with a 6 months old.

We use Similac® Organic Infant Formula (Green Can)  It has been great, but I don't know if it is available in Vancouver or not?  (I live in Seattle).

If your are worrying about (Air-bubbles)  I recommend you try Dr. Brown Bottles, which works very well.  Basically, it has a tube that let air out instead of having air build up.

There is a technique for mix formula.  Water first, then the powder.  Do not shake, instead there is a spinning motion that you do with the bottle between your hands.  (Don't know how to explain this..)

As far as Electronic Steam Sterilizer, We like it a lot.

For the Poo Poo.., check online, as there are lots of info about how it should look like during the first week, etc..!  For the month or 2.  It's good to use a chart to track down the date/time of each feeding, and the amount of feeding, plus the # for wet diapers, etc..!

Take Care, and feel free to message me for more questions..!  (I am not expert, just a new dad)

好開心話比大家知，我個BB仲未夠兩個月，終於戒左夜奶。依家我地晚上十二點餵完之後，佢每日都大約七點幾八點先醒。我地最後一餐通常都全formula餵佢，同埋臨瞓前同佢沖涼／抹身，咁樣佢就真係好舒服咁瞓到天光。

我係用煲煲奶 ...

Do you know if it's dandruff or "changing skin"?  Did this happen just after you changed the soap?  Try change it back to see if the condition goes away.  However, it's perfectly fine for the baby to go through the a "skin change".

There a risk with pacifiers and that is it might not be easy to get rid of this habbit later.  You as the parent need to judge for yourself.  Some kids still needs to suck something when they're grade 1.  Also, who knows the side effects on the lip shape and teeth growth for long term pacifier usage.

So what are good brands for "Electronic Steam Sterilizer"? I think I will get one for my sister.

How about brands for manual breast pump?

This is what we have, which was purchased at baby R US.

  I can't say if it is the best one, but it's easy to use, and it fit all our bottles and other accessories when we sterilizer daily.

I bought Avent electronic steam sterilizer...i really like it and it's really convenient.....

And for the diapers, i am using Pampers, i think it's a better brand for my baby. I am using Similac concentrate milk for now...probably will change it to the powder later on. In the beginning, we use the Avent bottle, but we found out that there's a lot of air bubbles...so we change it to Pigeon (bought it from HK), a thinner bottle... and that is great.

If you want to get a manual breast pump, Avent is a better brand (as told by the nurse in the hospital)...but you are looking for an electronic one, get Medela (don't know if i spell it wrong)

我最初買Avent 的Manual breast pump，唔係唔好，不過pump到很累，很想放棄。
最後有朋友送左個Medela既 mini electric pump比我，之前我租左個Medela 既harmony型號pump，對於兩款 Medela既 electric pump，我都覺得好好用。

華美子, did you know you can sign up at those 奶粉 websites to get free samples?  They usually ship you a small can to try.  There are many baby products manufacturers websites for getting free sample ...

Can you please post the links to the websites to get free samples?

早兩個禮拜買左 Playtex 既奶袋黎試。

真係愛上左奶袋，BB食奶食少左好多風，掃風同食奶慳左好多功夫。

個Slow Flow 奶咀真係太慢，今日買左Variable Flow 試下。
