New feeding device

The Podee system has been introduced into the UK recently from the US and is designed to help those who have more than one baby at a time to feed. Podee consists of two specially designed tubes - a short tube that fits inside the bottle and runs from the bottom of the feeding bottle to eliminate the uptake of air that can cause problems like colic, and a longer tube that goes from the bottle to the teat and ensures that no more liquid can enter once the teat is full. The idea behind this is that babies can be fed in an upright position, so the carer doesn't need to cradle the baby while she feeds and more than one child can be fed at a time. The 'Give Me a Hug' bottle holder, available as an optional extra, comes with a 3" soft teddy and prevents the bottle from tipping over in chairs and buggies. The Podee comes with the bottle and teat, a bottle cap, two connecting discs, the lengths of tubing and a cleaning brush, priced 9.99. The bottle holder is priced 7.50. A refill pack, containing six long tubes, six short tubes, and three silicone teats, is priced 3.99. All of these items conform to BS standards.
