Podee...the "other Mom"

Well, occassionally, desperate times call for desperate measures. As a Mom of multiples, I purchased the Podee hands free bottles, "just in case" I needed them. Until recently, the boys have been very patient around feeding times. In fact, usually I could get one fed before the other one woke up hungry. Well, times are a changin'.

It would appear that JD has the patience from the Leach side of the family. For those of you not familiar with our lack of patience, it definitely runs in the family. That said, he went from happy baby to screaming baby in less than 3 seconds the other day. Podee to the rescue! I had taken the bottle out of the package a couple weeks ago just to try it out so if I needed it in emergency, I knew how it worked. Thank goodness I did. There was no time for "learning" at that point!

I was calmly feeding Cole and JD was fast asleep; he started to stir so I told Cole to step on it and get going because his brother was starting to wake up. Low and behold, it only took a few seconds for JD to let us know that he was hungry - RIGHT NOW.

Cole has the patience of a saint so I put him down in his seat and scurried off to the kitchen to load up the Podee, hands free jobby. I gave JD a bib and stuck the nipple in his mouth and off he went. He went to town on that bottle - and finished it before Cole finished the second half of his! The only drawback with these bottles is that they don't get burped through the whole thing. That can make for a miserable baby if you're not careful. But we're working through that...

Here's how it works. And it really does work!





Bottoms Up!


I can honestly say that to date, that might be my best purchase thus far. It will never be a good substitute for feeding the baby because that is my favorite time with the boys - but when meltdowns are emminent, we can't live without it!
