Comparison of The Catepiller from Alice in Wonderland and Tina with the Podee Bottle
Now, personally, I don't see any resemblance at all. Old soul, bald, dressed in blue with a hookah-looking device hanging out of his mouth... Looks nothing like my Tina. (yeah, right!)
These bottles, a great invention by someone knowing the true hearts and minds of a MOM (mother of multiples). Assuming that your "lovie" can produce enough suction to keep a pacifier in, they can also feed themselves without having the motor skills to hold the bottle themselves. You can prop the bottle against them in the stroller, lay it next to them in the car seat, or anywhere your baby likes to eat. Now, I don't recommend this for regular feedings - it's better to hold your baby, their bottle, and coo and bond over eye contact. However, this is really great for those times you're in a pinch: both babies are crying and hungry; they haven't finished feeding and you'd like to throw them into a car seat to go to an appointment; or their fussy and you just need them to make it back to the car/home/crib. Besides being great for a MOM or a mom on the go, they are also credited for being an excellent tool to combat colic and ear infections. What more do I need to say to spark interest?!? The only downside: they're more effort to clean!
They are very popular in England and other parts of Europe, and especially so with other MOMs, but can be found in some specialty baby stores. If you're so inclined, try one out. I think they're great! And, if you don't think twins get enough attention as we walk down the street, try a set of twins sipping on a set of Podees!
