EBF'ing moms - what bottle are you using?

Kristen61607

I'm EBFing this baby, but she's close to 5 weeks and I thought I'd introduce a bottle. I don't really want to, but I am worried that if I wait much longer she'll flat out refuse one and what if something ever came up where she'd need to take one, you know? I also have a wedding in June that I'd love to go to.

Just wondering what sort of bottle would be best? Anyone have experience with medela calma nipples?

We love tommee tippee. They're just so damn expensive.

Avent. My DS1 did well and this baby does too.

Dr. Browns is our fav. We tried tommee Tippee but they were too fast flowing even with their slowest flow nipple. She would gag and cough every time. No problems so far with Dr. Browns and she usually gets 1 bottle a day.

Medela bottles with latex nipples, Colton won't take a silicone nipple.

I tried a couple kinds, and tommy tippee was the first that LO didn't seem to mind.

When I was EPing, the boys did great with tommee tippee. I've been EBF since they were 3 weeks, and the few times they've had a bottle since, we've had no issues

We started introducing bottles this past weekend. So far he's getting a bottle once a day, we are using Dr. Brown's

I used the calma with my first to avoid nipple confusion. He hated it. This time I am going to use tommy tippee ones (my first really liked those).
I have just started pumping to introduce a bottle since I start softball in a week. Hope she takes one.

Am I the only one that was confused by the title?

If you're EBF then you don't use bottles...just sayin'.

I EBF and do not use bottles.
Buuuuut when/if I do, they will be Playtex drop-ins.
DS1 only ever drank from a bottle 3 times.
I don't expect that to be much different for DS2.

She's taken every bottle we've tried with no issue. We're using Dr. Brown's because that's what we have from DS.

Soooo ... What should the thread title be? "Moms who mostly breastfeed except when your LO gets a bottle sometimes for whatever reason, what bottle are you using that causes the least amount of problems transitioning from bottle to breast and back again?"

Because that would be an obnoxious title.

On-topic: We're still trying out different bottles so I'm glad to read these responses to get some ideas!

We used Dr. Brown's with DS1 and Owen does great with them. Keira is really hit or miss with taking a bottle but we haven't tried any other kinds out yet.

We use the regular tommee tippee and DD has no problem with them and they have no extra parts.

I've tried them all but Avent works for us.

Avent natural. First one we tried and she liked it, so we didn't try any others. Introduced at 2 weeks bc I had to go back to class and we had no nipple confusion.
