Is it just me who thinks this is kind of...well...odd?

[marthamoo]

boob shaped bottle

(at least they don't come in a selection of skin tones...yet!)

Freaky indeed.
What gives me the creeps is the tagline on one formula 'Now even closer to breastmilk'

Urgghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

hehe yeah, although there are a couple of people on here who have used them when trying to persuade b/f baby onto bottle... very succesful by all accounts!

I suppose it makes sense . . . .

can't you get a bottle in the shape of a cow?

Wish I had those when I had to BottleF DS at 7 days old

No

If it comes closer to the boob than a bottle and yet holds formula what is the issue ??

oh I wish my breasts l;ooked like that

I think its quite sweet actually. What's so urggggghhhhh about it? Oh sorry I forgot, that was written by someone who had to move rooms in hospital because they couldn't bear the sight of bottle feeding mothers (yawn)

You are joking Bosscat ??

Please tell me you are joking....

Wierd, but bloody brilliant if they mean that when you're having a problems breastfeeding, you can feed a newborn expressed milk without having to cupfeed/ spoonfeed. From the blurb, they say that it's ideal for switching between breast and bottle - does that mean the baby has to use the breast-feeding technique to get the milk out?

okay I'm joking
Loving your husbands work by the way

Did you see him tonight, did you, did you, he was so masterful..................swoooooooooon

It's just a bit synthetic boob for me - like groping someone else's. Can see the benefits of course.

It looks like a Playtext teat, and they claim to have to be sucked the same way as a breast.

Well MMoo

When you go in to Hospital, determined to BF and you leave with a permanent heart condition and life long dependency on tablets, you would try anything no matter how synthetic it looked.

Walk a mile in my shoes.

My first reaction was ...ohhherr wierd.

My more considered reaction is - I guess it has it's place.

Hope my post wasn't insensitive to you MrsGR

I really didn't intend to upset anyone - kind of sorry I posted it now.

oh moo, dont take ity to heart love

these bf threads!!
anyhow, having looked at the picture, I can tell you now that it is certainly not what my busom looks like - I'd be stabbing dh with nips like that! I hope they have a range of designs so the saggy breasted among us don't get offended (mine have headed a looooong way south)

doesnt simulate my breast shape - poor ds was a lot more swamped that that!!

i'd need 3 to make up one3 boob

Just a bit sad at the polarity, I clicked and thought wow, and then what I can only presume were seasoned BFers rowed in behind. On here too long to go to bed upset,but as I said sometimes you need to walk a mile in some ones shoes on an issue like this.

So Moo, not upset with you, or anyone just dissapointed sometimes with peoples reactions.
