mimijumi Very Hungry 8 oz. - Breastfeeding Baby Bottle

Made well. My daughter still wouldnt take this bottle but not its fault.

HI, I am from Trinidad & Toabgo & I must say this is a miracle bottle. My daughter is my very first child. She is 3 months of age & since birth, I have been breastfeeding her. At 2 1/2 months, I started her late with bottle feeding. At first I thought was the brand of formula. Which was one of the problem. I tried Enfamil at first but comparing the taste of it to my breast milk I believe it was to strong. I tried Similac and she was taking the milk if i squeeze from the nipple to her mouth however now the nipple was the issue. I switch from dr. brown to avent phillips & even tried gerber . none worked. I immediately searched online for a bottle that has almost the same resemblance and texture to a breast. I purchase this 8 oz bottle (very hungry) as my child is accustom to my breast milk flowing fast. She fuss alot on first day refused. day to i tried again. fuss during the morning as the end of the nipple was a bit still stiff and the bottle is new. but after hours of trying and her pressing on the nipple, soften it a bit. She finally gave in during the course of the evening. She was confused at first but the skin tone colour and shape of the nipple definitely made her think it is breast that she is getting. Basically within two days my 3 months old breast feeding baby accepted a bottle. im so greatful because I am to return to work the following week ahead. This bottle is indeed awesome !!

Initially I rated this bottle at 5 stars, because my LO refused every other I offered when I run out of breastmilk. However, 3 months later, if I could I would not even give 1 star, because it started leaking. And I am not talking a drop here and there from the nipple, I am saying really leaking steadily from the seal, to the point where my kid is laying in a paddle of milk if I would not use a sealing celofan wrap all around the bottle's neck/seal.Also, I would like to add that it is not only 1 bottle that leaked, that I probably could understand, but both. And both started leaking at around the same time. I do not believe that it is due to something I did or the overuse. It can not be. I used it for only 3-4 months as of today, without microwaving or even bottle warmers. Some might say, it's the plastic from heating and cooling the bottle or some sort physics like that, so I tell you - it is not. I always poured only lukewarm or room temperature liquids, so my assumption it's just a poor quality and poor testing of the bottle before releasing it to the market.I am so upset, it is 30$ bottle, which is very expensive to begin with. I purchased 2, because you can not have only 1 baby bottle for all kid's needs. One would expect it will last, if not forever, but at least for a few years. Unfortunately, it is another rip off, 60 $ for 3 months. Wow, mumijumi, great business, I have to say.Just a simple suggestion for the mumijumi engineers - make the thread deeper, at least couple of cm, not 5 mm, maybe that will resolve the issue.So, ladies and gentlemen, if you can find something cheaper and longer lasting for your babies, and they are not as picky as mine, please do.

My son loves this bottle. Little bit of background story, my son was exclusively breastfed until he started solids, when he was about 1 month old I started pumping about 7 oz a day so that my husband could feed him, I tried a lot of bottles and nothing worked until we found the joovy boob bottle, by the time he was 9 months old he had already weaned himself from the boob bottle and the sippy cup. When he was 12 months old I tried introducing regular cows milk and nothing would work, no matter how u tried to give it to him he just refused to even try it, but it was fine since I was still breastfeeding him, when he turned 19 months old I decided it was time to wean him from the breast, at least during the day (I only nurse him if he wakes up in the middle of the night) I tried giving him milk in regular sippy cups, straw bottles, his old joovy boob bottle, big boy cups and nothing worked so I decided to buy him the mimijumi bottle and give it a try, it worked and he absolutely loves it, it helped with the weaning process and made it so much easier.Now, yes I know he is old enough to not use a bottle but it was a desperate situation (keep in mind I'm only telling a very small portion of our story) and it made the whole process him a lot easier, a process that he wasn't taking too well at the beginning, so I think it's worth it, I definitely recommend it for breastfed babies. Great bottle and worth its price.
