Saw it when looking at the scoop thing michelle put up.

I always thought prop feeding was slightly dangerous re choking/temptation to leave child unsupervised. I can see how if you had twins or even a cpl of small children it could be tempting but.

What do you think? I admit I was a bit horrified when I first saw it. I sort of saw feeding time as 1-1 bonding be it breast or btl and with mum or someone else close to baby able to sit and cuddle for 20 min. Maybe the experience will be different 2nd time round but I kinda feel with all the distraction that Caitlin will bring for the baby, 1-1 feeding time will be more valuable 2nd or 3rd time round?

I think it is a daft idea x
Why would you not want to feed your baby yourself?
Would you really put your baby in a chair like in the pic and leave them unattended so you can dick about doing something else?
I think it is for lazy mums tbh x

Erm, not too sure TBH. Havent you got to keep burping a baby when its being bottle fed? you'd have to keep an eye on it anyway so whats the point?

i can see how it's practical...but i love those few minutes where i can just sit down with the baby and give it a bottle

I love that bonding time of feeding baby so would hate something like that! I can't see how you could leave baby unsupervised to feed themselves with it because they'd need burping and stuff anyway

I think thats awful tbh.... if a mother doesn't have time to feed their baby then well..enough said!


Its also VERY dangerous...far too tempting to pop to the loo, answer the phone..get distracted and leave a baby thats possibly not able to remove a bottle from its mouth ..and the baby chokes.

I find the idea of that quite disturbing tbh. How can any mother not have the time to feed he baby?

Scary to be honest and they put it on a car seat so feeding when traveling which can be dangerous

Um, I think I will give it a miss, lol! x

i saw something like this on 87 kids plus 9 or whatever it was, because they genuinely didn't have enough hands and had all the babies in a circle

See Mari thats what I was thinking. I dont like the idea of it at all BUT I can see if you had triplets and maybe another toddler it may be a god send. Provided you didnt leave the room iykwim.

I dont think many of the 100+ people who have bought it have multiples but!

i remember seeing on underage and pregnant or something a girl sticking a bottle through the bars of the cot and leaving it there like a hamster bottle, that made me so angry - it kind of reminds me of that in the wrong hands

I dont like bottle propping anyway so dont like them x

when a baby sucks it pushes the bottle away and brings it back, so surely it will cause the baby to have a ridiculous amount of wind because there is nothing there to stop it being pushed away and letting all the air in?
