BARE baby bottle is considered as the next best thing when it comes to breastfeeding as this bottle features air-plug technology which works similar to a syringe, hence the breast milk that your infant drinks from this bottle remains air free, which mean your baby won’t ingest any air that could lead to gas, tummy ache, discomfort for the baby. The BARE baby bottle has been designed in such a way that its design allows an infant to get milk from the bottle in several positions as well.

The use of air-free technology keeps the infant’s aftermath from going into the container that can cause bacteria. The liquid comes out of the bottle only upon suction. The silicone nipple has been designed to be innate and breast-like. In fact, the nipple stretches in length during feeding, allowing babies to develop accurate latching techniques. Breastfeeding moms can take a deep breath now! Babies can now transition from breast feeding to bottle feeding and vice versa without any hassle.

Unfortunately the funding of this project on kickstarter didn’t end well, they didn’t get their $65,000 goal. Hopefully this won’t stop them from trying to bring BARE Air-Free Baby Bottle into reality, because I’m sure there are a lot of mothers expecting this product.

It is a mobile breastfeeding unit, which is part public service plus part performance art. The milk truck is to be displayed at the Andy Warhol Museum this fall. The Milk Truck solves the problem of women having to leave eateries or cover up when feeding. It is also Miller intention that this Milk Truck can start a discussion about the basic human right, feeding a baby. In such forceful scenarios, when breastfeeding moms are asked to leave the place, they can call up the truck that will park its huge boob before the anti-breastfeeding firm, creating a sight and giving the mom complete freedom and comfy shelter for the baby’s next meal.

The main goal is not to hide nursing moms behind closed doors but rather to bring this issue to the forefront. How? Well the Milk Truck itself has been designed like a giant breast and nipple attached to an ice cream truck. So, imagine the reaction of people when they see this truck runs through town. Miller also encourages mommies to breastfeed in front of the truck if they prefer or stay in their usual public spots to do their next feeding. Miller as well desires to take the boob mobile over the road to concerts, fairs and sporting events primarily to grab the attention to the cause plus providing a spot to nurse.

Currently, Miller is raising fund to bring Milk Truck into reality. You can support this project on Kickstarter.
