omg the baby self feeding pillows

edit: loads of them https://ec.europa.eu/safety-gate-alerts/screen/webReport/ale...

I suppose they have had to really scale up the testing/alert system in the last decade or so due to influx of millions of new products

Holy shit, how the hell did this ever become a product?! Absolute insanity.

Any parent probably invented the equivalent of one within the first six months of their kid being born - but I guess this is one of those things that are bloody obvious and desired, but not supposed to ever become products, like pacifiers on an elastic band.

Em, no. Never had anything like this, don't know any other parents who did either.

What?! No! (and yes, I'm a parent)

I don't detect any sarcasm in your post, but this is such an obviously dangerous idea that surely you can't possibly be serious?

[TeMPOraL]

I wasn't clear enough: I meant invented only, conceptually, not actually deployed.

My wife and I joked many times this should be a thing, but we would never have actually bought one, because it's clearly insane.

I mean this is obviously a bad idea, but:

> During self-feeding, the baby is not able to control the flow of fluid. The fluid will continue to flow even if the baby is not swallowing. This may lead to choking.

Eh? Nothing comes out of the bottle if the baby isn't suckling. The baby is able to control the flow of fluid very easily.

If you pinch the rubber tip (or chew on it) gravity will make fluid come out even if you don't suck.

omg indeed. Are those pillow 'handles' suppose to work as handcuffs?
