mimijumi Very Hungry Baby Bottle by MIMIJUMI

Physicians, lactation experts, and designers collaborated to create the mimijumi, designed to be practical, attractive and functional. The bottle serves to ease the transition between breast-feeding and bottle-feeding. Gold Award Winner of the Spark Design Awards, the mimijumi replicates the look and feel of a mother's breast with natural colors, textures and forms. “Two main features separate the mimijumi Very Hungry from other bottles,” states Dr. Bill Colomb, child psychiatrist and co-inventor of the bottle. “First, the look and shape of the nipple prompts a feeding response, making the baby more likely to accept the bottle. Second, the baby must latch on to the nipple in a manner almost identical to breastfeeding in order for the bottle to work, thus minimizing confusion and making the transition between bottle and breast a breeze. In testing, 100 percent of babies who had refused traditional bottles took the mimijumi Very Hungry." The bottle is crafted from BPA-free plastic engineered in Switzerland, with medical-grade silicone molded over the thread. The one-piece nipple includes an integrated ventilation system to aid in digestion and reduce colic further helping to calm the baby. Launch date: 2010.

Customers familiar with Sophie will find that the three varieties of Chan Pie Gnon are made with the same natural rubber. The varied tops of the toys provide soothing relief for teething babies, and parents need not worry since the plastic and paints are non-toxic. Reviewers on Amazon.com rated Chan Pie Gnon an average of more than four stars out of five, though they warn against submerging the toy in water or getting it too close to a dog accustomed to playing with chew toys.
