Best bottles for anti reflux formula

If anyone can help. My baby girl has just been put on anti reflux formula and the Tommie tippee bottles we were using don’t seem to let it through as the formula is so thick. She’s only 4 weeks old and I just want the best for her. Any ideas on better bottles to use

Have you tried changing the teat? A faster flow one might let more formula through as the holes are bigger

We use the Mam bottles with a 1 or 2 flow teat, our little boy is 4 weeks and had Carobel added to his formula for reflux so it makes it’s thicker and find these work well with pace feeding 😊

It’s the teat size for thick milk it needs to be upped my girls on allergy milk with carobel thickener I use mam bottles with a size 2 teat x

Try a bigger teat size so bubba doesn’t have to work so hard. I’ve heard the anti reflux formulas are super thick x

we have started using the number 2 teat which seems to be helping but still slow going

do you find that your little boy doesn’t struggle drinking as we are using the number 2 teat for the bottles but don’t seem to be making much difference is mam bottles better as I saw someone saying they are a nightmare to sterilise. We have the microwave steriliser so didn’t want to have to buy a new steriliser on top of new bottles

I'm sure that with those types of formula you need to use the fast teat. My little man is 4 weeks, on regular milk and has size 2 mam. 0 and 2 were too slow for him.

Tommee tippee have a vary flow test which I used for my daughter when she was on reflux milk! It seemed to work well for her as a 2 it just wasn’t fast enough and she got frustrated or fell asleep it was too slow

he doesn’t really struggle no, we found with the 1 tear he was getting annoyed because he couldn’t get it out and was crying a lot, but he’s better with a 2. We do still need to burp throughout and hold it up right for about 20 minutes after. He’ll have a bit of spit up but no where near as bad.

You can sterilise them in the microwave just adding 20ml of water to the base. 😊

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.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
