Y'all remember The Nanny?  You can see it again at:

This was the bottle-propping device that looked like a hand.
Apparently, our complaints led to a change in their text.  I'm not sure,
but it may even be more offensive than it was.

>>God's helping hand will always be there for you! We at The Nanny Company encourage that you hold and feed your baby as much as possible. Nothing can replace your loving embrace while nourishing your child.

>>At the same time, we all realize there are instances when you would gladly welcome a helping hand. During those times, taking advantage of The Nanny can make for a calmer, happier baby and a less stressful moment for you. A helping hand can reduce some of the jostling around endured when you must feed your baby and finish another task simultaneously.

>>When feeding your baby, the next best thing to you is The Nanny, God's helping hand.

The pictures show mom trying to juggle cooking over a hot stove while
bottle-feeding baby (no nursing sling).  Mom puts baby in infant carrier
with The Nanny, so she can continue cooking and *talk on the phone*.
There is also a statement that says The Nanny should only be used with
low-flow bottles.

To quote a famous Lactnet Doc, "Aaaaaaarrrrrgh!!!"
