I always used to use the adult Nuk ones but I've since changed to using Tommee Tippee closer to nature fast flow ones. I find them really easy to drink from and are the only ones I use now
I opted to make my own cot and highchair. Luckily I'm pretty skilled with woodworking so that option was open to me but the cost of materials still added up.
I think that's similar to what I had when I started using a nuk 5. The inside of my top lip at either side. I think it's from sucking too hard and it pretty much disappeared once I got used to sucking naturally.
It's a great feeling when you come to accept yourself as an AB. What else is a great feeling is when the people that you choose to spend time with also accept and encourage you to be yourself.
That's the first time in a long time that I've woken up on Christmas morning cuddling a teddy bear, sucking a dummy and wearing a wet nappy. Merry Christmas
