Bottle for breast obsessed baba 🍼

My little one is 9 months old and will be starting nursery soon so I want to pump and give him bottles. He has rejected the bottle every time we've tried it and I don't want to waste money on loads that he won't even use.

Which brand have you found best for babies who are bottle resistant please?

My LG stopped having expressed milk for a few months, but I needed to start getting her back into it and she has taken to a Lansinoh Anti Colic Bottle - Natural Wave. From using this for a couple of days she now takes a bottle again, and will now also take her Nuk Perfect Match bottle again that we had used previously.

We used Nuk Simply Natural to get them started then we would add in Phillips Avent. I started my oldest on a bottle when she was 6 months and it took 3 weeks and trying about 8 different bottle types. Good luck! 🤞🏽
You could try a sippy straw cup if needed too.

Thank you! 😊

At that age I wouldn’t give a bottle I’d go straight to a cup

When I was ebf I had to order MAAM because Tommee Tippee which apparently Is close to breast & even this other type I can't remember didn't work at all. Once the UK MAAM brand came in... she took to it immediately lol

2020 they didn't sell maam in the US & pandemic lockdown so that was so much fun lol

My son was exclusively breastfed and would only take Dr. Browns narrow bottles.

My son has never taken milk from a bottle or a cup.. at that age they’ll be fine apart from you with food and water and nurse when reunited

Lansinoh! And until he’s used to the bottle, hide in a different room and have someone else give the bottle x

My son was also EBF and would only take dr browns bottles.
But also if I gave him more than I bottle a day he’d start to prefer it over the boob and it would take a few days to get him back on a bottle again if he wasn’t used to it.

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

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. 🥺

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?
