How To Get The Air Out Of My Sons Podee Hands-free Baby Bottle?

I have no personal experience with them but I have seen them in the stores (would have bought it if I didn’t have tons of Dr. Browns). I wondered the same thing when I thought about buying it and went to their website and can’t find any info about that. I don’t think there is a way short of possibly holding he bottle upside down after filling it.

You shouldn’t feed a baby a bottle in a car. They could choke, especially if you’re not sitting next to them.
I would recommend throwing it away. When it’s crushed all the air will be out of it. That has got to be one of the most ridiculous products I have EVER seen! Along with the bottle holder; gee, nothing like a company that makes it soooo easy to be a hands off parent. Seriously, if you are going to plan on using products like that, why even bother having children? I just don’t get it. I also love the whole “when your 2 hands aren’t enough”. I guess BFing moms have 8 arms or something, because I have NEVER had to give my son a bottle. Even with having a toddler and newborn, I always found time to cuddle my baby and nurse.
You don’t, the design is so that the air doesn’t get sucked up as long as their is stuff in the bottle. They’re crap as far as I’m concerned, my SIL gave me hers because her son hated them. I tossed them.
You don’t feed a baby in a moving vehicle, great way to cause motion sickness and no way to get to them fast enough if they should start choking. You pull over, find a coffee shop, a restaurant, a park or just the shoulder of the road and you feed your child. Or you do better at planning where you are going to be when it is time for feeding the baby. I wouldn’t dream of not holding my son while he eats, it’s the closest thing I get to having cuddle time with my independent little guy!
I had never heard of those things. Why on earth would you use those wretched things? I did have a laugh at the slogan: “When two hands aren’t enough” What happened to holding your baby to feed them?
Ignore them? Goodness no. If we were in the car and my son was hungry, we pulled over to let him eat. I believe your child comes before anything else, no?
no, don’t ignore him……. pull over until he’s old enough to hold his bottle himself. that’s what we breastfeeding moms do, if we’re late, well then we’re late. it’s not the end of the world to be a little late sometimes because your baby is hungry. if people cannot understand your tardiness for such a good reason, then they have issues.
You shouldn’t need to get the air out since the tubing goes to the bottom of the bottle. Once all the air is out of the straw then the air in the actual bottle won’t pose any issues.
Were you to use a proper infant feeding device you would tilt the device in such a way as the air stays away from the part the infant drinks from. Of course if you can’t manage to hold a bottle, cup or paladai then I guess you have to use this silly product -surely it comes with instructions.

Edited to add:
Huh, well lets see you could PULL OVER and FEED your child. I breastfeed and I somehow manage to hold my baby every single time he feeds even though breastfed babies eat more often than formula fed babies.
Sorry but babies DESERVE to be held when fed. They DESERVE someone there to make sure that they are getting their food properly, that they aren’t swallowing air or choking, that they don’t need to be burped, etc.
Your baby doesn’t deserve to be neglected or endangered just because you can’t be bothered to pull off the d@mn road.
PS how do you even get the podee properly positioned if you are driving and the baby is in the backseat, rearfacing? Or do you leave a bottle back there every time “just in case”?
