best bottle for breastfeeding baby

momtoalmost3 · March 2009

It is my hope to breastfeed my baby to be as much as possible. With two other kiddos at home and a husband who is a pilot, I am not sure I will have the uninterrupted time to do this.

So my plan is to breastfeed and pump. Which bottles have you found that best mimic the breast, so that the LO does not get confused? I am guessing I will not have to begin bottle feeding for at least 4-6 weeks since I will have DH and parents at home to help out for that extended time.

Thanks.

playtex drop in system thats what our $500 LC told us to use because its most like the boobie.

We also were given the Playtex Drop-in recommendation. LO is 6 weeks old and still pretty much refuses the bottle. We've tried the Playtex bottles and they are the closest she will come to taking a bottle.?

We first tried a bottle at 4 weeks, and we tried Avent because that is what we got for our shower. She had no problem with it.

Since then we have tried Nuby, and the cheap Gerber ones and there hasn't been an issue and no nipple confusion.

We use playtex ventaire and have had no problems going from bottle to breast. We introduced her first bottle just before 3 wks.

For DD, we're just using the Medela bottles/nipples that came w/ my pump. She's only had a bottle maybe 3 times in the last 3 weeks, but she doesn't have nipple confusion and seems to take the bottle okay.

We're also using the Medela bottles because I can pump directly into the bottle without having to transfer the milk again.
