The bottle feeders are co-opting attachment
parenting! At least they allow that it CAN
be used for breastfeeding!

Hrumph,

Well, they say it can be used for breastfeeding, but I fail to see what
purpose it serves really. When used for bottle-feeding, it holds the bottle
for you, but my breasts generally don't fall off anyway.

There's something about the pic of the mom bottlefeeding a baby this
way...it's just....weird. Her boob's right there...

You all know what I mean. It just seems...strange.

Hee hee.

I've always found it *really* strange that some BF-ing moms give their babies
bottles sometimes for whatever reason. (Don't like NIP, when experimenting
with a bottle-refusing baby, when supplementing or weaning to formula, etc.) I
mean, I guess you do what you gotta do, but I don't think I could give my own
baby a bottle. It would just be Way Too Weird. :-)

I posted something similar a while back about a pic in the JCPenney catalog.
The item for sale was a nursing nightgown. The model was shown bottle-feeding
a baby. Weird, weird, weird. (I mean, I assume that the adult model was not
actually the baby model's mother, or the company just didn't want to have a
picture of a mom actually breastfeeding, but it would have made more sense to
just show the "mom" without a baby, or have her cuddling the baby without
feeding it. She was modeling a *nursing* nightgown!)

Right, yeah, I'm going to spend $29-$35 just so I can ... prop a bottle?

Hey, the world has been crying for that innovation, let me tell you. Milk
delivered from the maternal chest. Imagine that. It's right up there with
tea waste receptacles, fried chicken gloves and sporks.

I had to pump and dump for a day when DS was three months old and it was a
real nuisance not to have that hand free while bottlefeeding. Could have
duct taped the bottle to my chest, I suppose. :-)

Well that just looks silly! Anyway I actually like having my little man
holding onto my fingers when I give him a bottle!

What's the next step, a bottle that hangs over the cot, hey it could be on a
timer you wouldn't even have to be there!
