Nipple Confusion

I went to Babies'R Us today with a mission.... find a nipple that resembles mine. I know, it sounds sick and twisted. However, Miss Mya can not be fooled. We have tried the ole' slip the bottle in while breastfeeding again and it failed. I absolutely cannot handle the stress and pressure of being the one and only source of nutrition for this baby! I go to work and daddy has to be able to feed her. Today, Matt had to drive to my work so that I could feed her! Since when does a 4 month old control my life?
So, back to finding a "Rachel Nipple"- Do you know how many different size, shape, price, and even COLOR nipples there are?!?!? There is a whole wall at Babies'R Us just for bottles and nipples! After very thoughtful choosing I decided on the Playtex and Adiri bottle. Ok, let me just explain to you about this Adiri bottle.... It is by no means the ordinary bottle! It doesn't have a twist on cap like most bottles. Oh no... this bottle actually looks and FEELS like an actually boob! It is made of silicon and has a built-in nipple. I opened it in the store and about started cracking up! I HAD to buy this thing and see if it works. If there is any fooling my little one, this badboy should do the trick. The only problem with this costly ($12.99) teet is that it is 1/2 white and 1/2 blue! Now, if I'm creating a model breast, I think I would choose colors that actually resemble a real one!

The Playtex drop-in bottle was cheap and highly recommended on the internet. It was much more cost efficient and the nipple actually resembles a real one too. It is actually more true to color! I will try both of these in my pursuit of bottlefeeding happiness! Cross your fingers and I will keep you posted. I am including some pictures of these bottles/nipples. I'm not sure who has the most nipple confusion in the Wiegman household.... see for yourself!
