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! 🤞🏼❤️

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!

How are we entertaining our babies

What toys does everyone have for their 7 month old?
Nothing is satisfying my little girl she's got blocks, rattles, playmats loads more. She would much rather hold my hands and walk all day but I cant physically do that and whenever I put her down to play she just wont, is this just a faze?
