I need help finding a bottle for DD
I have been BFing for the past two months but with less than four weeks untill I go back to work I need to wean DD on to a bottle and formula.
It is not going very well. I have Dr. Brown bottles from my son, she will not take them. I have also tried a soothie pacifier and a NUK pacifier and she will not take them...
What bottle/nipple is closest to a boobie????
I don't think the flow of the formula is the issue its more like the lack of area around the bottle, if that makes any sense.
Thanks

I EBF. However, DH has given DS a bottle of BM a few times. We use Playtex drop ins and DS hasn't had a problem.

My son was so easy... he didn't care how the food got to him as long as it got to him. But DD is so different

Re: I need help finding a bottle for DD
Yeah, Ryan really doesn't seem to care. Once he figures out it's the good stuff - he's cool with it.
As far as binkies are concerned. Ryan never took a binky until about a month ago, 3 1/2 months old. He really just had no interest before then. And now he uses it more than anything to chew on to help the teething.

Re: I need help finding a bottle for DD
I was in the same boat....went back to work at 12 weeks.
From the start I BF and occasionally gave a pumped bottle using the Avent bottles. The nipple has a wider base. I am back to work about 7 weeks now and we are still BF and bottle feeding so there is no problem with DS goign between those 2!

I second the Avent. We use them, they are great. They make the BPA free ones now.
