Bottles for breastfed babies

Hi guys, I’m hoping to introduce a bottle of EBM to my four week old in the future. My boy was a bottle refuser 🙃. UK mamas which bottles have you found your breastfed babes have taken to best.

MAM eventually! Took a couple of weeks of persevering! I tried Nuby (worked for my first!), NUK and Tommee Tippee too but she point blank refused them 😂

When they eventually take one, don’t bother getting the bigger bottle, bf babies only need 5 Oz of expressed milk. My LG takes Mam x

MAM bottles are amazing!

Both babies are/were breastfed. I introduced the Mam Easy Start anti-colic ones to my daughter and she took to it properly after a week. I then kept them all to save money on buying bottles again but when I tried them with my son, he absolutely hated it (crying, spitting it back out, refusing the bottle altogether for around 10 days) so we changed to Tommee Tippee and haven’t had any problems so far.

It all depends on your little one x

Both of mine have taken to the Tommee tippee advanced anti-colic x

We’re on tommee tippee closer to nature. Small ones and just the number 1 teet. Takes it fine on the odd day he has a bottle

Thank you so much for all your input guys. My boy was a solid bottle refuser but I’m hoping that if we offer a bottle once a day for a little while now then she’ll take one in the future if we need it. If not then so be it ☺️

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
