I sent this letter to the makers of this awful device.  Perhaps too strongly
worded, but I am aghast!

<<What a horrible invention!  I can't imagine a worse way to feed a baby than
to prop the bottle and forget it.  Babies will choke and die with your device.

If mother is breastfeeding, she already has a free hand to:

- Answer the phone

- Read to an older child

- Read a book

- Change the channels on T.V.

And, she doesn't have to waste her time preparing bottles with awful smelling
chemical "formulas" in them. (even though most baby formulas begin with cows
milk or soy, they are basically chemical cocktails with no real resemblance to
mother's milk)

I hope, for the sake of babies everywhere, that your product sells poorly.
