Best bottle for breastfed baby??

ahowell88 · February 2013

I will be going back to work in a few weeks and will be pumping during the day and continuing to breastfeed at night but I was wondering if anyone had suggestions as far as bottles that worked well for their breastfed babies. Obviously, I want to avoid DS rejecting the breast in favor of the bottle but I need him to also not despise the bottle!! TIA for your ideas/ suggestions!

We use Tommy Tippie and have not has any issues. DS only gets a bottle for his last feed before bed to give us a but more cintrol. He is a gulper and we can have a slow flow nipple and more frequent burps.

No advice on the type of bottle, but my lactation consultant suggested paced bottle feeding. We youtubed for a good video.

We use Avent and DD goes back and forth from the bottle to nursing without problem

She gets a bottle before bedtime (only formula at that time) another around 3pm before I need to go pick up DS1 from school and sometimes 2 or 3oz of formula aftr I've nursed her in the evening if I don't have any more milk and she's still hungry

The most common answes you will get are Tommy Tippie, Avent and Dr. Browns. All 3 came highly suggested by the lactation consultant and by the breastfeeding board when I asked the same question. It just depends on which one your baby ends up having a preference for.

Good luck :

Dr. Brown's works great for us. We use Soothie pacifiers and Dr. Brown's nipples look almost just like the Soothie ones. We had to give DS a bottle of pumped breast milk at 4 days old and he's never had nipple confusion.

I like the drop ins.

With any bottle just be sure to use slow flow nipples.

I use Playtex Ventaire wide slow flow nipple. I haven't had any issues with him going back to the breast.

We've been very happy with Tommee Tippee.

We also tried Breastflow and didn't like those at all.

We use the Avent Natural and DD has zero problem bouncing back and forth!

I love Breastflow by The First Years, its the only bottle my LC recommends as the baby has to suck just like their at the breast to get the milk out.

We use Dr. Brown's. DS goes back and forth with no issues at all. Honestly I'm glad I didn't wait 6+ weeks to introduce the bottle for I think he might have rejected that! Nice to have a little freedom when mama needs it!

my LC recommended introducing bottle before 4 weeks.
