The Baby Sport is a water bottle nipple adaptor that turns any water bottle into a baby bottle.
This is a terrible product.
Let me tell you why...
First off, the inventor of this “brilliant” device is Tommy Habeeb, the former host of Cheaters and current host of STAG: Last Night of Freedom, not exactly what I’d call a "child health expert".
“I was surprised that this product did not exist already. All of the retailers that I have met tell me it's a no-brainer that this product will sell." -Tommy Habeeb
Well Tommy, maybe there’s a reason why it’s not already out in the market. Like...it not being at all appropriate for example.
# 1. Breast milk or formula is the only nutrition infants need during the first few months of life.
Infants don’t really need to be drinking water from a bottle. Breast milk or formula is all an infant needs, until solid foods are introduced at around 4-6 months of age. In fact, during the first few months of life if too much water can upset the electrolyte balance and cause GI distress.
#2. This product only really aids in perpetuating extended bottle use.
Starting at 6 months, a child can and should start using a cup or sippy cup. By the time the baby hits 12 months of age they should be weaned from the bottle.
#3. It’s another tool for baby bottle tooth decay.
Undoubtedly, some ignorant parent will attach the adaptor to soda and juice bottles, which can lead to baby bottle tooth decay.
And finally...
#4 Great, just what we need, another gizmo for stupid parents.
The BIG idea pitched for this product is that parents often forget their baby's bottle when leaving home.
Another wag of my finger goes to...
DANE-ELEC, makers of cheap, shoddy USB key chain memory sticks.
My long time loyal blog readers will recollect my bad luck with my previous USB flash drives, and today I have some very sad news to report. As we all knew, it was just a matter of time before my most recent one would fail me at the most incontinent of times. Last night was the night. I was about to work on some homework, I uncapped my drive from the key chain, and its insides completely fell out of its protective shell. Thanks DANE-ELEC, at least you live up to your slogan, Memory truly is everywhere!

Thanks for memories.

Please feel free to leave me your fondest memory of Memory Stick III in the comments.

The USB? Well...there was the whole *Censored* thing where you would *nuh-uh* with the *whoa* then the tub of jello.... and then the PPV audience would applaud.
Looks like I got my blog back by the way.
I so agree about the nipple for water bottles. The only thing I would add is that children should actually never even use a sippie cup either. Sippie cups are like glorified bottles.
Anyhow, sorry about your memory stick III. I guess I didn't realize this was your third...I thought it was the second..what happened to #2?
The sad thing though, is that some kids stay on the bottle until they're 5....so, sadly...his product will make money.
Just like pull ups do.
Parents who fall for the pull up nonsense are fools. If your kid can pull up some diapers, they need to be wearing underpants.
But, the diaper business has worked out convincing parents that it's acceptable for their 3 year old not to be toilet trained.
Back in the day, kids used to be toilet trained by the age of 2...and some cultures (Like the Chinese) make sure that their kids are out of diapers and sippy cups stat.
It's better for the environment too.
