My attempt at humour aside, some premium bottles have nipple shields (and lids that match Cooper’s other bottles). They add a step but work okay.
When it’s legit mucky I do one quick squirt away and then squirt into my mouth. No beaver-fever to date. Knock on wood x 1,000.
This didn’t work for my kid, and the bottle I had didn’t easily fit her frame either, and now she has a nifty Fidlock bottle ($$) where there’s a hinged cover - she loves it. I sometimes have daymares that she’s lost it and I have to pony up for another.
I actually did go back to a bladder one year after all my friends who did the Test Of Metal with bottles became sick-sick and my friends with hydration packs didn’t… I just so prefer bottles that I went back. I do think the hydration pack (with covered nipple) is the cleanest option.
