The NEW BUTTON!

Makily has had her new AMT mini button in for one week now.

It's working BEAUTIFULLY.

I like it so much better. It's WAY flatter and smaller. It's more flexible so it moves more with her. It's leaked a smidge but nothing that's a big deal. Cool thing is it's really the same concept as the Mic-Key button, just a little different. I keep using Pampers and Huggies to compare them. Same thing just different brand....some people like one more than the other.

As long as this thing does not start popping pin holes in the balloons Makily will forever be an AMT girl. I also would love to find out what the difference is in the make up of the balloons for the AMT vs. the Mic-Key.

I wish we would have tried it sooner.

So if you have a child with a Mic-Key button that keeps developing a pin hole within days to weeks of inserting it, I highly recommend trying the AMT.

**I just re-read through this post and I sound like a television commercial.**

*Note: I reserve the right to completely change my tune about the AMT if for some reason it too starts popping pin holes......this review was made after just one week of use. Actually if the AMT starts popping pin holes like the Mic-Key's did then likely it's an anatomical issue with Makily and not the button after all. Let's hope it was just the Mic-Key right?

Here's a short vid just showing the differences in the two brands and after putting it in Makily's tummy.

We have been trialing the ELF button for quite some time now and love it. I hope it comes out on the market because it is 100 times better then the Mic-key. We have the Mic-key for several years. It leaked ALL the time and was always disconnecting at night. We have had 2 disconnections and 'feeding the bed' since using the ELF and it hasn't leaked at all from his stomach expect for when he is sick and coughing a lot it will leak from the stoma but not the button itself. I highly recommend it if you end up not liking the new button!

This is the same button that Grace uses. It has worked great for us. Hope the good luck with this one continues!
