Mimijumi Very Hungry Baby Bottle {Review}

The first months of baby’s life EVERYthing revolves around baby’s eating. When will she eat, what will she eat, and dear goodness will she take a bottle when I need her to? For breastfeeding mamas, feedings can be a crazy balance of preventing nipple confusion by waiting until baby is established on the breast, but not waiting too long and ending up with a baby who refuses anything but the real deal. It’s nice to have a bottle that helps reduce this stress. Mimijumi Very Hungry bottles are designed to be the perfect compliment to breastfeeding and ease the transition to bottle.

Mimijumi

mimijumi, LLC based in Nashville, TN is a design driven company that specializes in simple, safe and natural products for the modern family. Through the design and production of infant care essentials, mimijumi products are made for both baby and parent to create the most natural experience possible.

This design is based on the psychological dynamics of feeding/soothing items as transitional objects. The benefits of breastfeeding are well known, but breastfeeding is not always practical in today’s society. Created with input from Designers, Mothers, Nurses, Physicians, and Lactation Experts, mimijumi’s first product the Very Hungry bottle was conceived as a natural, modern and stylish complement to breastfeeding.

Very Hungry Bottle

Mimijumi’s first product the Very Hungry Bottle has a nipple that truly resembles a breast and is designed to require baby to latch to express milk, like the breast. The nipple is a single piece, made of medical/food-grade silicone and vented to minimize gas or colic. The bottle has a wide opening, making it easy to clean. The colorful red base is non-skid to help keep the bottle from sliding around and matches the cap. The bottle is dishwasher safe and free of BPA and phthaltes.

Baby Kate was content to eat from the Mimijumi the other day when I went to a doctor’s appointment and preferred not to nurse. My children like to eat so much that we haven’t had to deal with the challenge of breast to bottle transition, so I can’t really speak to the effectiveness of the bottle for picky babies. It really does resemble a breast so I think it would be a great option for a baby having issues with this transition.

To Buy or Not to Buy

To Buy… The Mimijumi bottle is a great option for breastfeeding moms looking to minimize nipple confusion and for families dealing with a picky baby. The bold colors and unique styling make this a bottle that will be noticed.

Or Not to Buy… My one complaint about this bottle (and a lot of bottles) is that there’s nowhere to put the lid while you are using the bottle. I will drop almost anything not physically attached to me onto the floor. I would love if the lid clicked onto the bottom of the bottle or came with a little gnome who held the lid whenever I needed. (What, a helper gnome is too much to ask for?)
