My mother-in-law, Sandy, made a big fuss about these and said I needed to buy one. I told her I wasn't about to spend $40 on one when Hannah could already sit up at 2 1/2 months. She ended up buying two at a yard sale and brought them over. Hannah has used the lilac one several times and once with the tray. She sits at such an odd angel in it that it makes her uncomfortable.

As it turns out, no matter how tight you have everything screwed on, formula still manages to leak out around the nipple and the holes at the bottom. It's especially bad while shaking the bottle. I lost count of how may times I found formula splatter on the blinds and wall...and that's with the protective cap on over the nipple. Second, there are no latex nipples available for these bottles that I could find. Only the ...
Product Review: Mylicon
Mylicon Gas Relief is a total life saver!! Hannah has a lot of problems with gas due to her formula, and since I started her on mylicon it's been a lot better. It's a little pricy, but it's worth it. Pros: -- use at every feeding -- can be mixed with formula or given with dropper -- $2 off coupon in every box Cons: -- costs almost $7 at Wal-Mart ...
