Never seen it, but it's great! lol

[cjuniverse]

Awesome!

Seriously, I thought it was going to be another loony ad for some breast/mother replacement product. What a pleasant surprise!

[dara00]

very cute!

[hunnybumm]

Cute cute cute!

[Sagesgirl]

: I dunno that the nipples can't come off; with my kids it's not for lack of trying.

[Zwillingsmama]

Ha ha that's cool. I like this part "They are decorative as well as functional"

[Nodtveidt]

At first, I thought it was some kind of ad for a fake boob...DW had to explain it to my slow self. Oh well, it's early.:

boobs as products with salient features.

I thought the same thing. And how nice that it wasn't.

have you seen these "replacement products"?

"adiri breastbottle nurser", a bottle with a breast-like shape:
http://www.adiri.com/

"second nature nipple" with multiple small holes:
http://www.secondnaturefeeding.com/b...allstages.aspx

when i showed these products to my DD she was upset and sad. she asked me why some people want to fool babies with this fakeboob, and if the babies don't complain when they have to use it...

i've never seen someone using such a bottle.
if you were a pumping mother would you like to use it instead of a normal bottle? the shape indicates that the content is also "breast-related" (i.e. pumped human milk, and not formula).
but i'm unsteady if this is a good thing or not, it leaves a bad aftertaste somehow.

How much do these products cost??? I know that I could use at least two, my husband also wants to order some for himself.

what does he want to fill in?

these boob-bottles are quite expensive:

and there's no cup size system, only one size (variety is another benefit of the original).

It is a VERY good thing! And I'm sure the second nature nipple is a vast improvement on available bottle nipples.
