if your baby was ebf...what kind of nipple did you use for bottles? pacifiers?

I really really want to concentrate on getting this one to drink a bottle and take a pacifier.

DH decided that he does like babies and my sister is currently staying with us. There is no way I can pass up help this time around.

thanks!!

i used evenflo glass and nipples, NUK pacis (which lasted a week or two tops with both DD's which was a-okay with me )

Re: if your baby was ebf...what kind of nipple did you use for bottles? pacifiers?

i used dr. brown's standard bottles and nuk pacis with DS, when he was exclusively breastfed and afterwards.

if you get the baby accustomed to it early on it shouldn't be a problem. with DS i was so nervous to give bottles and pacis for fear of nipple confusion, but my lactation consultant told me that in her 17 years of practicing she had seen extremely few cases. sure enough, i introduced a bottle when DS was 2 weeks old and he never got confused.

We use medela and weil baby bottles. DD seems happy with them. DS used medela as well but needed special vent nipples that were $$$.

We used playtex bottles and avent binky

Re: if your baby was ebf...what kind of nipple did you use for bottles? pacifiers?

My LC told me to use Playtex Drop Ins and I used Playtex Binky's

My DS never had nipple confusion as easily went from boob to bottle

I used the Adiri bottles.

My DS never took a pacifier. I tried just about every one on the market and he just never really went for them. (And we did try from the beginning so that wasn't it.) Funny thing is now that he's 2.5 he's obsessed with them. Whenever he sees one in the store or finds an old one that I missed around the house, he has an absolute fit because he wants it.

thanks!

Josh was such a bottle/pacifier failure.
He was jaundiced and I was engorged, so we started bottles in the hospital. He never took to it.

This time around I am so tempted to buy one of each bottle and just keep trying. I think having someone else give it to the baby will make all the difference.

DD has no problems going between the Playtex Drop-Ins and the boob. As for pacifiers, she likes soothies.

Mam pacifiers and Born Free bottles

Re: if your baby was ebf...what kind of nipple did you use for bottles? pacifiers?

we used the avent bottles and the playtex binky that is just like mom

Re: if your baby was ebf...what kind of nipple did you use for bottles? pacifiers?

Well NONE of them worked for us this time - DD#2 refuses since birth to take a bottle. She will occasionally take a paci (soothies) and I just found out that they make a bottle with the same nipple which we are trying now.

I used Dr. Brown's bottles with both kids.
To get Erik initially interested in bottles, I used these Gerber nipples:



Ella took gerber nuks. Erik never wanted a pacifier of any kind.
