Linda Madsen, Regarding your comment of 7/20/00
"Looking at the dome-shaped bottle, in my opinion, I just see one more
attempt to supplant breastfeeding."
Linda ,
I certainly agree with you.  When I viewed the bottle I saw no indication
that a baby would be able to draw into his/her mouth that part of the
bottle  where the lactiferous sinuses (missing) could be compressed
against the hard palate with his/her tongue to take the milk out like a
breast.  If that doesn't happen, wouldn't the same bitting action take
place to remove the contents as with all the existing nipples?  And we
know where the baby's tongue will be when s/he tries to latch onto the
real breast! OUCH!!
