No, not really, more like new baby technology overload!
I remember I washed babies bottles in the hottest water we could stand, in the early days that meant from the kettle bloody carefully. Now we have a gadget the size of Birmingham on our worktop which does the job for us, takes about 3 weeks!
Well it feel like it when you have a screaming baby wanting milk and you weren't prepared!
Then there's the baby milk warmer, saves time and effort to bring a bottle up to the proper temperature, see above for average timings!
The first time I used it it overcooked everything, maybe I should have read the instructions but for some reason baby felt he shouldn't wait.
I used to leave a bottle in warm water for 5 minutes, I knew how warm it would be from how warm the water was when I started, easier? yes I think so.
What else? what other gadgets can they sell us? you know what I really want? I want a baby timer I can set myself, one that makes sure he's awake during the day and asleep at night! surely modern science can manage that?
Maybe I should resort to the remedy of our grandparents? a drop of whiskey in the final nights feed? (joking, I think)
Still, love him, he's sat next to me in his basket, chuntering away quite happy to himself and looking cuter than I imagined possible.
Love? I knows it!

And the bottles! what an amazing combination of biological reproduction and fluid mechanics! I know I sound like an old fogey but it was only 6 years ago I was bottle feeding my little girl, back then they were easy, bottle, teat and cap, no bloomin polarity reverser and Heisenberg compensators (OK maybe a little exaggeration! poetic license I call it) this bottle has a whole extra bit to stop pressure build up and air coming through on the teat! clever but quite simple, just glad I didn't have to think of a "better bottle"
