I've never heard of them - you can buy different shaped teats for bottles though - have you tried using different ones?

are they the ones with the nippple bits on the teat if they are my friends uses them with her 6 month old dd and she said that thay are just the same as normal bottles but its worth a try !

agree about the playtex bottles, dd1 wouldn't have anything else and they do suck them like a nipple.

melli · 11/12/2003 11:19

thanks hermy..i'll try these first--website says the teats extend in the mouth-like real nipples. sounds promising

meli
thats great
my only concern about the breast shaped bottle is you will have to wean them off it eventually, whereas the playtex, is just like a regular bottle so if tey are slow to wean its ok while you are "out and about", if you know what i mean!
but you have sucess with something, thats brill, now dp/h can do some work!!!
