Breastfeeding Acceptance Fail

this upset me so much. it normalizes bottle feeding (which to most conjures mental images of enfamil and similac in those bottles). but i have to laugh it off.
and then focus on a WIN. the WIN? that this place created a safe place for nursing mothers.
im pro breastfeeding, and im pro breastfeeding in EVERY location.
but i personally would MUCH rather have facilities to nurse in. then again im very modest and not graceful with a cover. lol.
since you failed and you won, i give you a C people.

Our Latest Endeavor: Breastflow Bottles

these bottles are cool looking, to say the least!
they have a patented nipple that has a purple nipple stopper inside. it works like a breast in the way the babies have to use their tongue in the same rolling motion to move that purple stopper around for the milk to come in. there are small holes in both the nipple and the stopper to allow milk transfer, but its not much. so far M is still using the sucking mechanism, but i can tell she does use her tongue as well.
i bought these online from Target 3 for 12.99 plus shipping.
they normally offer them at babies r us, but our local one isnt very well stocked on some items.

i like them so far, and will keep using them for awhile. its nice because the base of the nipple is large, so i can press the base against her chin and emulate a deep latch just like a breast :)

i read reviews of people that said it was hard to clean or it leaked....
ive had no problems cleaning them; it takes just a little bit longer...only an extra 20 seconds really. and i havent had a leak once!

just my thoughts!

happy breastfeeding!
