Bottles

Can anyone recommend a good bottle/teat for my 6 month old mostly BF baby?

He used to take the MAM bottles but now he’s just chewing/playing on the teat 😭

I heard a dr brown’s bottle. My baby used Lansinoh” its pretty good

Nanobebe breastfeeding baby bottles

A few mums on here recommended the lanisoh bottles and I have had the most success with this bottle after my baby girl refused loads of others. They’re the closest to breastfeeding and I was recommended the medium teat to match your flow. Also best to try when baby is in a happy mood and isn’t too hungry, and also sat upright.

I’ve heard a lot about lansinoh! I’m going to give them a try 🙂

Try the avent by phillips, that bottles are amazing! The teat simulates mom's breast shape so the transition from BF to bottle is really smooth. I used it with my daughter when I stoped BF and my sister used with my nephew. I cannot recommend it enough.

dr browns bottles they are amazing my baby girl has been bf for 5 months now and they are the only bottles she will take to!

i’ve started to mix between bottle and boob and it’s great she loves it x

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
