Yesterday, I decided to try out the two new bottles April gave me. I've had them for awhile, but for whatever reason, I've never made the effort to use them. One is called Dr. Browns Natural Flow and the other is a Playtex nurser.
On my journey, I discovered that I do not like the Playtex bottle; while trying to get all the air out I managed to dislodge the plastic sleeve and spill ALL 3oz of milk on Jaxon. When you already have a screaming impatient baby, this does not make the situation any better. Especially when, that was the last of the thawed milk!
On the other hand, I fell head over heels in love with whoever this Dr. Brown is. This bottle is a miracle. As you know, Jax has been suffering from severe acid reflux and unless we follow a strict feeding process he spits up almost half his milk. And even with our strict guidelines he still spits a fair amount. Well, not anymore. This bottle has a special positive pressure tube that redirects air and reduces (if not eliminates) the amount of air the baby takes in. It is ideal for any preemie baby. I would love to be able to supply our NICU with these bottles. I think other parents of preemies would benefit greatly from this product. So far I've only used the bottle 4 times, mainly because it is my only one until I can get to the store, but I am sold. I wish I had known about and started using this bottle sooner.

So, there you have it- my amazing discovery- a spit free bottle! What will life bring me next?
