Longtime lurker and infrequent poster but I wanted to chime in on the Adiri
bottle.
As we know, a breastfed baby who is refusing a bottle will often refuse various
teats before mom finds one that suits the baby. Some moms never find a
bottle/nipple system that works for her breastfed baby and will offer baby
pumped milk from a cup or via another method if she needs to be separated
from the baby. I see the Adiri bottle as just another teat/bottle system to try
if you have a baby who will not take a bottle. They are expensive but I have
had a number of moms tell me this is the only bottle their breastfed baby
would take. I agree that they are not the "silver bullet" of bottles or nipples
but it is a nice tool to have in the tool box for babies who know where their
milk REALLY comes from and are in the habit of refusing all artificial nipples.
