Medela Calma

Has anyone who is breast feeding tried the Medela Calma? My baby had been using Tommy Tippee but isn't doing so great with them anymore. Wondering what's working for everyone. Need to get her used to a bottle before heading back to work.

    We tried it and had luck for 1 ounce :( our baby never took a bottle. We started using the Avent sippy cup marked 4+months at 3 months and we had great luck with it! It takes a little while for baby to get used to the flow of it. Make sure baby is sitting upright if you try this. My lo does fine and has had no confusion with the sippy.

    We tried it with DS2 & it worked ok, but he did just as well with the Playtex Drop-ins slow flow nipples.  For much less $ we decided to stick with them.

    I do have a woman in my BF'ing support group whose son (a preemie) wouldn't take a bottle for the longest time.  Around 4 months old, the Calma came out & lo& behold he took a bottle. So I'd say if you can't get baby to take anything else it's worth a try.

    My dd didn't take to it any better than the other 10+ bottles we tried. Was a giant waste of money. They're so expensive!
