New Bottle Eases Transition from Breast to Bottle

     Transitioning your baby from breast and bottle can be a daunting task for any parent, whether you’re new to the game or if you’re an experienced player!  But, just when you think that you're ready to hold up the white flag of surrender to your bottle picky baby,  think again! The mimijumi Very Hungry/Not So Hungry bottle set was designed by a father (who also happens to be a physician) and a psychiatrist, who struggled with what they both felt were poorly designed transitional bottles available on the market.  Inspired by their own personal struggles as well as years of gathering and analyzing research from mothers, doctors and lactation experts, they were able create a product that meets the unique needs of both mother and baby.

      I recently received a sample of the mimijumi Very Hungry bottle, and it is clear to see that the design of the bottle was based upon the dynamics of transitional feeding.  When the time comes that you have decided to wean your baby from breast to bottle, the titled angle of the textured, easy-to-attach nipple closely resembles a mom’s breast─assisting your little one to easily latch on just as they would to your breast.   But, a word of warning─ latching on is key, as your baby must attach onto the nipple in order for the bottle to express milk.   The wide mouth makes for quick, easy filling (I happily observed  that unlike other bottles, there was no leaking from the mimijumi Very Hungry bottle when filled), and best of all, the one piece, snap-off cap and no-skid bottom bottle is free of BPA and phthalates.  The bottle design includes a ventilation system that aids baby’s delicate digestion, helping to ease the symptoms of colic. The nylon bottle is easy to clean (safe to clean on the top rack of your dishwasher), and can be sterilized with any traditional method including boiling and microwave sterilizing devices.

     Retailing for $14.99, The Very Hungry bottle (pictured below) is 8 oz., and comes with a Flow Rate 1 nipple.  The Not So Hungry bottle is 4 oz., comes with a Flow Rate 1 nipple and retails for $13.99.   For further information, please visit the mimijumi website at: http://mimijumi.com/
