Any experience with different teats?

Hey Mamas

So my little girl is exclusively breastfed but she wont even take FRESHLY PUMP milk from the bottle. I had a whole 4oz that was going to waste and baby girl was just massanging her gums and smiling lol :/
Ive tried adding extra holes with a needle, the ol' switcheroo (BF first then switch ti bottle) but she's very keen and notices straight away.
Im currently using Nuby and Tommee silicone bottles, and I would like to try more softer, boob-like teats.

Id ideally like her to take a bottle so Dad can give me a REAL break yknow.

Has anyone had this same experience? Any teats one would recommend?
Thank you in advance!

Have you tried Morrisons own? The Nutmeg bottle teats were specifically recommended to me by a breast feeding specialist so that I could continue BF and have dad feed pumped milk

Neither nuby or tommee tippee have been recommended to me for breastfed babies as their tests just don’t mimic the breast well enough

My little girl loves the Nuk bottles! She was combi fed and completely went off the Tommy tippy bottles. Decided to try these and they work wonders for us. I haven’t been able to find them in stores, but Amazon has them!
These are the ones : https://amzn.eu/d/02JKHJzN

Lansinoh bottles have worked well for us. The teat needs to pass the “triangle test”

Try mam and nanobebe. I rarely bottle feed but when I do, I use nanobebe and have no issues. Also look at using a size 2 teat x

Thank you, whats the triangle test?

The Evenflow Balance+ fixed my daughter’s latch after Phillips avent wide bottles gave her a clicking shallow latch. They were recommended by my LC.

I had this issue too with my own little boy. The ONLY bottle he finally settled with was the MAM bottles anti colic slow flow as its similar to feeding from the breast. Theyre worth the money in my opinion.

My little one is exactly the same too! Been trying for weeks to get him to take a bottle, today we had our first success of 2oz! We are using the lansinoh bottles.
What I’ve done recently that has been different which may or may not be the reason for our win today.. 1. Gave him an empty bottle to explore himself with no pressure of drinking 2. Putting a bottle teet in his mouth with my finger on the inside, he’s really taken to chewing on it but then also began sucking.
We also tried different times of the day and my partner doing it instead of me (and me leaving the room completely!) but neither really helped us but both were recommended to us from other people!
Good luck! 🤞🏼❤️

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?
