The Bottlepotomus

Awhile back, I mentioned that I had an idea for the Bottlepotomus. It was hatched in a dream of being able to feed more than one baby at one time - key for when one of us is solo with the babies. After a long search for the proper components, I'm happy to say that the Bottlepotomus is a reality.

It's basically two vice clamps connected to each end of a flexible arm. Finding a suitable arm was more difficult that I thought. The best option I found was using a part from a lighting / lamp supply store (online). It's threaded on both ends so all I needed to do was drill holes into the vice clamps and attach with bolts on each end. Easy as can be. Total cost = $20 each.

The downside to the Bottlepotomus is that the girls really aren't into it. It works when they are really hungry (first feeding of the day). The rest of the time, it just ends up dripping milk all over the place.
