Best bottle for breastfed babies

Sorry if this has been asked recently but my 8m old bit my nipple for the first time and it was excruciating, I fully cried 😭.

I’d like to combi fed and then wean her off breast milk completely after she turns 1, what are some bottles that you have used that your baby accepted?

And do you have any tips for how I can make her successfully take a bottle?

TIA x

Eeek mine takes Lansinoh teats now, she refused the bottle for weeks until I switched

At 8 months, you could offer an open cup or sippy cup like they use for water instead of a bottle!

These, hands down. 💯 Lansinoh Anti-Colic Baby Bottles... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H0DH2NS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

The only 2 bottles my baby took was these. Make sure you have a couple of them though to balance them out

Whatever best matches your nipple.
For us its the Philips Avent

Skip the bottle and start using a sippy cup. What worked for me was pushing their face into my boob. My first stopped after 2 times and my twin a stopped right away when she first bit me

I just use the tommee tippee bottles, currently combi feeding she also bit me 🤣 but no issues with going from breast to bottle. I also used these bottles with my older children.

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? 🥲

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?

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?

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 🥰
