I would absolutely buy this product if my second kid is anything like the first. He was never good with the bottle after we had an impossible time getting him to latch, and we had to hold a burp cloth under his chin for every single feeding, and milk still found its way to the neck area, which was really gross.

I think I can manage to not let the bottle turn and strangle my baby while I’m holding it. And yeah, 8 bucks is worth the hour it would take me to make something like this.

Absolute shame because um… what if the bottle ROTATES??? hmm. you end up with the ’soft, plush, absorbent fabric’ covering baby’s NOSE instead.
BAD IDEA, would you not think???

$8 for something that is made up of 10cents worth of velcro and 15 cents worth of ‘absorbent fabric’? oh heckno.

As for people who want to give this as a shower gift, this one goes in the same category as that ‘pee shield’ that we got.
Still in its original packaging..
Which reminds me… i better get on that ebay…

Fame because, well, no matter how diligent you are with bottles, sometimes there just is the need. I probably wouldn’t buy one, but I’m guessing a baby shower gift would be perfect for this item.

Booby bib….tuck burpcloth into bra under boob. Catches leaks at no extra cost! VOILA…Booby bib!

Fame for this (though could be made for less)
Leaky bottles = soiled onesies
Mommy who forgets to shout out stains= ruined onesie :(

Shame at my house, because post-feeding spit-up dribbling down chins and into those scrunchy neck folds was a much bigger contributor to the stinky-neck problem than drips of milk/formula with my daughter. We had to clean her neck a lot no matter what, so I’d rather have one less item to wash.

I would have bought this or tried to figure out how to make it myself with my bottle fed first born. I don’t think you can always avoid milk spillage- bottle or breast. I have trashed plenty of onesies that prove this!

Funny, I was reading and thinking-when is he going to mention creating a breast version?

Fame for several reasons. First, baby products needed an equivalant of the ‘Snuggie’, ‘Tiddy Bear’ and ‘Comfort Wipe’ on Youtube. Second, previously advertisers were missing the purchasing power of people who do not know what to buy the mother who has already had her 28 page Babies R Us registry purchased two times over.
Third, the reasoning on the webpage in the testimonials sections cracks me up. There are four from MDs and it makes it sound like the choice is to buy this product OR have a kid who stinks like sour milk and wears a permanent ‘milk rash’ badge of parental neglect around his or her neck.

Fame because…. Once we traded our BPA bottles to the glass Born Free ones, we noticed that they would occasionally leak even after checking everything was screwed in correctly. Also, my son has always been underweight so we had to give him Pediasure or Kid Boost 1.5 and both are really thick and sticky. I am not sure if I would buy one though. Seems a pain to wash. Seems like wrapping his burp cloth around the bottle would also suffice.

Shame because… there is no way that thing would fit around my boob! LOL
