When it's just too inconvenient to feed your baby yourself...

[LaraMN]

Thank God, because I always hated having to touch my babies to feed them when they were infants.




:scared:

1. Well, its so hard to talk on your cell phone when you're feeding the kid

Seriously, one thing that really bugs me is seeing these people out with their kids and the entire time they're on the cell phone. :grr:

5. Reminds me of that time on 'Family Guy'

when Britney Spears was holding her kid, talking on the phone and smoking. She put the cig out on the kid's forehead, then dropped the kid on purpose when she hung up.



I don't think it was too much of an exaggeration.

[Shell Beau]

9. I swear Family Guy...

:rofl:

Except she pushed a dent in the soft spot of the babies head and used it as an ashtray!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Oh, yeah!

I'd forgotten that part. Nice detail fill-in. :thumbsup:

[LaraMN]

6. I didn't nurse my first two kids for very many months,

so I was always painfully conscious of the need to make physical contact with them during bottle feedings. This just creeps me out; I totally, completely understand the need for a little convenience with an infant around, but this just seems like a really bad idea.

2. what is thar pink contraption the baby is in?

i've been out of the baby business for a long time.

[LaraMN]

3. It's a modern-day incarnation of the traditional "bouncy seat".

They are nice- I had one for my kids. I did not sit them in it and plug a bottle in their face, though.

[AlCzervik]

4. i like how it comes with a built in little house on the prairie bonnet.

i breasfed my dauhgter for 6 months and then i would hold her on my lap to give her a bottle.

7. That poor kid.

Why do people have babies if they aren't going to pay any attention or devote any time to them?

[sasquatch]

11. Hello.....tax write offs!

:eyes:
































:rofl:

[LeftyMom]

12. The Town and Country did not pay for itself, you know.

[Midlodemocrat]

27. Meany.

:rofl:

[Dogtown]

21. And the welfare checks!!11!

:mad:

[redqueen]

16. The same reason they just follow their parents

into whatever religion or political ideology they subscribe to.

Cause isn't that like... just... what people do?

Not real big thinkers, these types.

[Lyric]

8. I can see how it would be useful if

you're a single Mom with screaming, hungry twins, and very little help. And perhaps for older babies for long-ish car trips, so nobody has to unbuckle. But otherwise...ick.

[colinmom71]

23. I went through several of these hands-free bottles....

But I was in an atypical situation like you mention above. My little guy had severe low muscle tone issues and this thing helped maintain his strict bottle schedule while traveling out of town, to therapy appointments, or in the stroller so I could get some errands done. He felt like he could feed himself because he could hold the straw and nipple (since it weighed so much less than a full 9 oz. bottle). I can definitely understand not liking it for normal situations but for me, that thing was a god-send.

[Gormy Cuss]

26. Most mothers that I've known have fed a baby with a propped up bottle some of the time.

I think it's a neat idea for those times when the parent needs an extra hand.

[LibDemAlways]

13. I've heard of "hands-off" parenting, but

that's just ridiculous.

Seriously, though, people who are unable to put someone else's needs before their own should never become parents. One time I overheard a woman in a restaurant telling her friend how pissed off she had been the previous Friday when her babysitter showed up late and drunk, making her and her husband ALMOST miss their flight to Vegas for their weekend getaway. When the friend expressed surprise that she would leave her children with someone who had been drinking, the woman just laughed and said, "I knew she'd sober up after a few minutes with my three." I couldn't believe what I was hearing, but then I never left my daughter with a babysitter other than her grandparents, and then only for an hour or two.

Jeez, if you can't give your children the gift of your time and attention, do the world a favor and stay childless.

Thanks for sharing. Hope that baby survives!

14. Can I get them in teenage size?

"Dad, I'm hungry, what's for dinner?" ARGHHH! I've got a beer to finish!

[Midlodemocrat]

15. LOL.

I remember driving to NJ when BoyMidlo was an infant and he started crying because he wanted to eat. I ended up perched over the car seat while he nursed.

Never felt more like a cow than that day. :rofl:

17. My sister-in-law fed my nephew by propping the bottle up with a

blanket, putting him in his carrier, sitting him on the dryer and turning it on to dry a load of clothes...multi-tasking :shrug:

then she would wonder why he colic-(k)-ed :eyes:

[CreekDog]

18. This way I can go to the bar!

don't flame me, I left the dog in charge. :hide:

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. This, nannies, "baby" videos, and disposable diapers - is there anything else we can do

to make parenting as hands-off as possible?

[QueenOfCalifornia]

20. Don't knock

disposable diapers.

You still get to touch them.

And it is with a happy heart that I say my only contact with poop is picking up the chihuahua's cigarettes.

[JVS]

24. It's important for the baby not to need attention when mommy is tending the meth-lab or "pleasing"..

"customers" ;-)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

25. reminds me of the harlow experiment. nt
