As you may have gathered from my previous posts, I’m
breastfeeding. But due to weight gain problems, we had to supplement for a
while – and now, I occasionally have to leave the house for more than two
hours, so my husband bottle-feeds him pumped milk. We tried a number of
bottles during those first difficult weeks. Some of them, he wouldn’t take at
all. Others, he’d drink from, but it would be a messy, long process with
frequent burping.
Until we discovered the Playtex Drop-Ins System. The
Playtex website describes this as:
A bottle system with a Nurser holder and pre-formed,
pre-sterilized liners. The liner collapses as baby drinks to keep air out of the
liquid and out of baby. It is clinically shown to reduce gas and colic, and
clinically shown to mimic breastfeeding.
All I know is that they make feedings go three times as
fast, with no fussing and minimal burping (and for the record, no nipple confusion).
A starter set of bottles and liners is available on Amazon for $19.99.
