Burette Feeding Container

THIS POST IS FOR ALL MY PARENT-2-PARENT ONLINE SUPPORT GROUP FRIENDS:


I use this 4 oz Burette to hold Eli's formula for his Day Feeds.
He never takes more than 5 oz of food at one time, so I use a syringe for one ounce and use the Burette for the other four. I like using the pump for feeds, because it gives a slow even flow of food in the given amount of time....and doesn't overwhelm is tummy.
I only use a bag at night. I hated washing those bags out after every feed....and after a hospital stay where they used Burettes...I asked our Dietician if I could start getting those for home. (One of those things they don't tell you about...but if you ask you might get it)
So, this is what we've been using for a long time. They last a couple weeks, if you rinse them well (especially the chamber) after each use.
I hope most of your kids eat more in one setting than mine can....but if you think this would work for you...I HIGHLY recommend them! :)
Thanks for looking,
Amy
