Okay Moms.. OR DADS out there in the blogosphere, help!

* edited post title because, as Duane commented, "You don't need to have breasts to use a bottle!" Gotta love those male "readers!"

Has anyone used one of these Adiri Natural Nursers?

Better yet, does anyone (in San Antonio) have one I could try?

They are $13.00 each, so before I buy one, I thought I'd see if any of you have had success (or lack of success) with this product. Ask your friends, too!

Please let me know asap... I would LOVE to go on this week-long road trip with a bottle he will at least TRY!

I will buy you one if you think it will get here before we leave. It's worth the small price to pay for that luxury!

I found them at Babies R Us, and will go try one. Just thought maybe someone had a "customer review" to share!

First of all, I'm a little insulted that you only asked "moms" to answer your question. You don't need to have breasts to use a bottle!

Second, Elisa and I used this same brand (I think), 6 years ago. The design has changed a bit, but the concept is the same. From what I remember, the bottle worked well. As far as Cason was concerned, it was great. She latched on well, and from what we could see she was not having to use a completely new technique.

The downside was in the design of the bottle. I remember it leaking a bit. I also remember that the "venting" system wasn't great. As Cason drank the milk, the bottle sort of collapsed and didn't fill with air to offset the missing liquid. These design flaws are more than likely fixed, since the one you're looking at is a completely new design.

Anyway, we used one (we had two, in fact), liked it, and would recommend it in spite of the design problems we experienced.

Hope that helps.

Duane! You are awesome. Thanks for the info. I adjusted my title to this post and added a little shout out to ya. I remember now your blogpost about breastfeeding and fatherhood! :)

I used something similar, although I'm not positive that it was the same brand. The one I used, which was two years ago now, was actually shaped like a boob, not quite as tall as this one appears in the picture. I remember it also leaking quite a bit. Shelby did not take to it any more than any other bottle I tried.
All babies are different, though, and you never know, this may be the ticket for Davis. It's worth a shot, anyways.

I looked it up to see if it was the same brand and the one I had was the Adiri from One Step Ahead. It definitely looks different now, though, so maybe they did resolve some leaking issues.
