What bottles worked best for your breast fed baby ?
I'm trying to give DD (6-7 weeks old ) one bottle a day
To prepare for when I head back to work but she is having a horrible time with the bottle / nipples that came with the medals starter kit
Any recommendations ??

DS does really well with the MAM bottles. They're a pain though because they have 5 pieces. We tried tommy tippee which he died ok with but doesn't get a great latch. The born free bottles kept collapsing on him. I want to try the Avent also.

I'm no help because my DS took to the Medela ones. I will say though that at that age he had a hard time with bottles due to the fast flow so I had to feed him very slowly.

Always Playtex drop ins....stayed on fast flow nipples from birth until they were done with the bottles. I tried switching the nipples and my son used to gag.

If you go to BRU the platter drop ins have different kinds of nipples. I didn't bf but dd 2 had trouble with the dr Browns which dd 1 took no problem. Dd2 did really good with the drop ins and I love them b/c easy to clean. DS now 2 months is on the drop ins as well but slow flow he has to work hard but the medium flow is to fast. I would go check them in the store. All the different shape nipples

We don't use bottles and at this point I don't think there's a need anymore, he's 11 months. But when I was contemplating in starting, a lot of moms in my mommy groups recommended Comotomo and Mimijumi bottles.

I use Lansinoh bottles and I know a bunch of other BFing moms who had trouble finding a bottle had luck with Lansinoh too.

Both my breastfed babies did great with Advent bottles, my son with the original bottles and my daughter with the natural bottles.

My granddaughter did well with the Munchkin Latch bottles. She would drink from them, which we tried after a lot of others she wouldn't take. Good luck!

Lansinoh mOmma and Playtex Nurser with DropIns

She did not do well with Avent Natural, Joovy Boob, or the Medela bottles.

We use Avent Natural. DD had them very early on- maybe 3/4 weeks since my nipples were SO sore and needed a break. We never had to try any other types.

ETA: And she went right back to the boob with no issues either.
