Breastfeeding

Which bottle have you found successful if you only rarely pump?

DD is four months as I EBF. I have attempted to give her avent bottles w/the newborn nipples and she wants NOTHING to do with them. We've been trying on and off for the past few weeks. Basically, I need her to take a bottle ocassionally so that I can go out w/DH and mainly for my brother's wedding in Sept. Which bottle have you found success with? I plan to just keep offering her the bottle on and off. (By I I really mean DH or my mom/dad).
TIA!

  • my hayden is also 4 months old and i EBF and don't give her a bottle very often. we use born free bottles with the stage one nipple and she dos fine with them.  it mayjust take time too - like you leave the room and let your mom or DH feed your LO with the bottle a few times.  hayden would surely rather have the boob, but will drink a bottle like a champ now too - even from me.  GL!!

  • DS was like that- honestly he never really took one, but it got easier when he started solids that at least he was getting that. Some bottles to try that he liked a little are Playtex drop ins, Adiri, the Medela bottles..get one of each of a bunch of different ones and just keep trying! He also would only touch it if it was very very warm so try that too. Good luck!

  • I know this might not help for right now, but by Sept. you might be able to get your LO to drink from a sippy cup.  I know some babies who don't take bottles will do sippy cups fine.  GL!
  • I pump daily now that I have gone back to work, but my son will ONLY take a NUK bottle. I had to offer it daily and would only nurse after he took one bottle.  He still doesn't like it, but will eat some while I'm gone.
