for the record, even formula using mothers do not need such a product. all it takes is a sling to bottlefeed with one hand, or sitting down and cuddling your baby in your lap while bottlefeeding. this leaves on hand free. Honestly in this instance formula isn't even the issue, it's a health hazzard if it's got EBM in it too. the vast majority of bottlefeeders I know are just as grossed out by these things as we are. my dh's cousins use a towel to do this, my dh calls it "towel parenting". -wendey, studying LC
