So I wanted to point something out. I find this very interesting how companies that are all about babies will exploit every angle they can in order to get you to buy their product. Take Playtex® for example. Their Drop-Ins® bottles are being marketed as the next best thing to the breast. Granted, William has been on a bottle a couple times a day when I'm gone, but I know what he's getting. I have pumped milk, I give him freshly squeezed juice and on occasion he'll get water.
Now I would really love to give him a bottle that promises: Clinically shown to mimic breastfeeding; Liner collapses like the breast for an air-free feeding; Nipple promotes latch-on like the breast; Clinically proven to reduce gas, colic, and spit-up. It is implied, I suppose in all their jargon, that you will use this bottle with pumped milk.
Now, we have all seen this on cans of formula. Formula companies say they have the next best thing to breastmilk for those who can't or won't breastfeed, including their promise that their product has been proven to reduce gas, colic, and spit-up. Sound familiar? It pains me that companies will do this. And especially to formula-fed families. Formula hurts a baby's tummy anyway and they will have all these problems regardless. Funny how they won't post this information, but they'll state how they're product will make your baby feel so good.
