I am concerned that this product will be incredibly difficult to clean properly.

They claim that it "eliminates nipple confusion." That's a big claim. I've seen no research that evaluates this claim. The requirement for baby to generate suction for milk to flow sounds like a step in the right direction, but I am not convinced. I need more info about how breastfed babies fair with this product in real life. What about the other factors involved in nipple confusion? Yes, I am trying practise my critical thinking skills! But wow! is their marketing ever seductive!

I would like to have a full picture of this product so I know whether or not it is a good option for moms who insist (or truly need to) on using a bottle.
