My husband and I are having a difficult time getting things together in time for our son, who is likely coming early while my husband is out of the state! and every little bit helps! Not to mention that the new design for your bottles is GENIUS! i look forward to using the bottle for when i mix in formula when "daddy feeds" and for when we are on the go! I will post on Facebook, and let all my family and friends know how well it works! Thank you, and keep up the great work!.
