Amen.

This is absolute madness I cannot imagine who woukd buy such a thing!!

I genuinely thought the picture was a hoax and it was some crazy joke taking the p out of modern parents. Could not believe it was real. This is absolutely bonkers that this exists. Just horrifying.

Poor babies. Imagine if someone did this to you when you couldnt move your head or get it out your mouth. Torture

Hadn't seen this. There is no way that the retailers selling these don't know about the severe risks.
Disgusting.

Forced drinking and also lying virtually flat😧How the hell did someone even invent this in the first place 😳

In other news, if you have blinds with a string you need to tie them firmly, not leave them hanging, and don't hang things from the baby's cot.

That’s contraption looks ridiculous and unbelievably unsafe

wth

Exactly

YEARS AGO THEY WERE CALLED ‘MURDER BOTTLES’ for obvious reasons 🙏🏽👍🏿☘️

I remember looking at nurseries for my oldest (gsce old) and them using things like that. <shudders>

Not being funny but given everyone has said how ridiculous this is does it really need to be bumped multiple times a day?

It makes me feel short of breath just looking at that stupid contraption. There's no way I'd leave a baby with it or buy one.

What the actual fuck? Who in their right mind would do this? I don't even have the words. Dreadful. Besides the very obvious safety concerns, which you'd have to be really stupid not to spot instantly, feeding a baby is a lovely experience and the ideal opportunity for cuddles and bonding. I can't imagine ever wanting to just prop my baby somewhere to "feed themselves". 😕

Well I don't think anyone is going to read this thread and reply saying "Oh wow I would have no idea! Those look like a really great idea!" because going by the replies about how stupid anyone would be to think that, they would get crucified!

But, these products do sell, so somebody is buying them. Maybe one of those people would see this thread and think that, even if they wouldn't publically post it.
