Hands-Free Baby BottleConvert A Bottle Self Feeding 9 oz Baby Bottle Kit (Standard Neck)

Omg these are amazing!! I don’t even have a picture to use yet I just have to say I highly recommend this product!! I have an 8 month old with severe stomach issues and these are so helpful especially when we’re on the road, baby cant hold their bottle yet but can hold this just fine even when it slips out she puts it back in so easily! Also switched the Dr browns nipples in them and they fit perfectly!

I used a hands free bottle with both of my boys who are 28 and 24 now, and this is one of my go-to baby shower gifts. Easy to clean provided you rinse out the tubes when done, or have the thin long brushes to clean them. It let's mom or dad eat their own dinner while feeding and holding the baby, use their other hand for any tasks needed! Also makes car trips super easy. The babies don't spit up as much, or need to burp as bad because they get no air from the bottle at all.

It has taken me a long time to revisit this product.I believe that this bottle had a large aid in my baby having extra gas, causing him to vomit and then aspirate on his vomit.I have twins so the morning I received these we immediately set them up for use. We followed instructions perfectly. The ONLY difference in my babies routine that day is that we used these bottles.I had wondered if air was coming through this bottle but assumed it was fine because it’s allowed to be purchased so it must be safe for my baby.Almost immediately after eating I noticed my babies (twins) were excessively burping and passing gas. One of them became so uncomfortable so I rocked him upright and he eventually went to sleep.About a half hour later after going to sleep I laid him down beside me in his crib. He didn’t make a single sound and I’m so grateful I noticed his movement because he began thrashing .I realized he was not able to breathe and upon picking him up saw his nose and his mouth was clogged with his own spit up. Immediately I called 911.Very quickly we begin baby choking maneuvers(Thank GOD we took that class) unfortunately upon flipping him over he had turned blue. Finally a cop arrived prior to the ambulance and took over. He dug some of the spit up out to where he was at least wheezing SOME air. He was still blue and becoming lethargic.The EMT, later ER, hospital and doctor all told me it was due to having too much gas in his system. When he threw up it went through his nose as well and caused his airway to be clogged.I threw these bottles away and I’ve NEVER had that issue again

I think as my 6 month old gets older this will work perfect for car rides but definitely needs strong suction, but easy to put together and clean, bottles are actually pretty good quality as well!

This bottle is definitely a game changer. If you are a caregiver of young children this is a must have.

My twin girls started using this about a week ago - They are almost 4 months old.I needed something to help me during those times when BOTH of them were fussing and screaming to be fed. They're at an age where they can't sit up on their own or hold a bottle, so I have to feed them both myself. It's not easy --I quickly ordered these thinking that I just needed a quick solution ... then I read some of the negative reviews and decided to cancel my order.FORTUNATELY for me, they had already shipped so I was unable to cancel. I could just refuse the pkg when it arrived, but instead I decided to give them a try.I didn't know how to 'prime' these, but quickly figured out that it just meant to squeeze the nipple to get the liquid up through the straw.Like others have commented - the fluid does not stay up in the nipple. There is a bit of air at the top of the straw leading to the nipple sometimes but the girls have not had ANY problems with gas. The nipple is not FULL when they drink but it does have fluid in it and every suck pulls more into the nipple and then into their mouth. There is a small reserve in the nipple when they feed.Rarely the straw completely empties b/c the girls have left the nipple in their mouth without sucking, and they breathe regularly with it just sitting in their mouth - thus pushing the fluid down back into the bottle. The girls do not have a problem sucking it back up the straw, though it takes a few sucks. At which point they are taking in air. Still - no problems with spit up or gassy-ness so far.One of my girls has trouble keeping this in her mouth, same thing with a pacifier for her -- so I have to keep putting it back in. It's a lot easier than holding a bottle to her mouth AND her sister's mouth at the same time though :-)The great thing about these, is they can eat sitting up now while in their bouncy seats. I rest the bottle between their legs and they do most of the work to feed themselves :)One of my girls has pulled it out of her mouth a few times b/c the straw was near her hand, I'm sure when she gets older that may become a problem, but if she wanted to put it back in her mouth she could figure it out - we aren't there yet though.This bottle DOES NOT leak -- I got the 2 pack, and NEITHER leak -- the reviewers with leaky bottles may have had a defective one or did not screw in the part that goes into the nipple tight enough.Also, the nipple has a criss-cross at the top -- making it easier for the babies to suck the fluid up.When I cradled them and fed them with regular bottles, they would only eat 3-4oz at a feeding. I would have to burp them every 2 oz througout.NOW, with the podees they feed themselves 5-6oz at a time. They spit the nipples out when they don't want anymore or if the bottle is empty. It seems they don't need to be burped in between as much anymore. I wonder if it's b/c now they are eating sitting up ... which would happen when you start feeding your child solids around 6 months (which is when most people stop burping their babies).I now find that since they have such an EASY time getting the fluid out of these nipples, I have to change the flow of my regular bottles to something faster ... they get frustrated b/c the holes on the regular nipples are smaller. Be aware though, even though these are criss-cross cut nipples if you hold it upside down it does not pour out. So unless your baby is laying flat with the nipple in their mouth for a period of time, I doubt they will choke on any excess fluid intake -- but then again, common sense is to be present when your baby is feeding to avoid a problem like that.I WOULD recommend these to other parents to aid in feeding --- I also ordered the pacifeeders which are 3x's the cost of these. They are supposed to be different in the way that all the CONS of the podee are not present in the pacifeeders... Once they arrive, I may update my review here to compare :-)

I work from home so this was great to have. The first day was a little challenging and took her getting used to it. Second day much better but she needs to have her hands distracted because she’ll pull the tubes and I’m scared it all come apart. But overall love this product

My little one ended up taking in a lot of air and being gassy.
