Slow flow bottle for BF babies

I’m hoping to breastfeed my baby almost exclusively once he’s here, but allow him to have a bottle or so a day when I need to sleep or babysitting. I’m looking for your suggestions of slow flow bottles that didn’t cause nipple/flow confusion and you felt like didn’t impact your breastfeeding journey.
TIA

We used Philips Avent Natural Flow bottles. Teats number 1 and 2. She kept taking boob and bottles no problem! Remember to not increase the teat number if you're still BF (if it's easier for baby to drink from bottle it could make them not try with boob anymore)

These are brilliant! My son is able to go at his own pace like the nipple. I was using the Timmy toppee before but the flow was too much and he would sip out the excessive milk. So far these work for me.

The link I sent are glass bottles I think there are plastic ones if you prefer that

I used Gulicola slow flow and only used xs nipple. I love the bottle its breastfeeding friendly, slow flow and glass. Here sharing the Amazon link if you like.

We combo feed and use Thyseed bottles. Haven’t had any nipple confusion or flow preference with the 0+ month nipple. Love the shape and feel of the nipple on these bottles. We got the glass ones but I believe there are other bottle materials.

What to do 😩

My daughter is a side sleeper. I put her down on her back every single time and she rolls onto her side and will fall asleep. She's never rolled over onto her tummy yet but I'm paranoid waiting for the day she can and I won't sleep again until she can fully hold her head up 😩😩😭😭 she's 2 weeks and 5 days old.

I've tried constantly moving her back onto her back, every single time she moves onto her side or fusses until I let her. Once she's on her side she'll drift off into a peaceful sleep. I'm forever constantly checking her to see if she'a breathing or rolled onto her tummy and gotten stuck.

The picture is of the position she will get herself into every time. With her hand under her head. I'm lost for ideas please help 😭😩

No interest in sex

I have NO interest in sex anymore. I'm so touched out and tired by the end of the day i don't want my husband to go anywhere near me. He has gently brought up that i might be struggling a little postpartum. He feels the distance between us and has said he is worried about me. I'm about to be 1 year postpartum with my second baby. Is this normal or should i be seeking professional help?

4 YO refusing nap

My 4YO is taking a hard stance on no napping. I know he’s age appropriate to stop naps but the trouble is him falling asleep at 6PM and sleeping the rest of the night.

Not sure what to do as I navigate this territory.

Ever had these thoughts?

Honestly it breaks my heart thinking about it when the thoughts come up.. but have any of you ever thought to yourself about "maybe my child would be better off with someone else"? I have but mainly because there's so many problems here. He's loved and supported and well fed and healthy. But we have very little money, I can't drive due to medical issues, he has medical issues himself, I'm recently divorced but live with my ex(no where to go)... I'm the main one taking care of him even with others around.

Feeding

How much are all your little ones drinking in a full day? My little girl is 9 weeks tomorrow and drinks between 120-150ml fir each bottle she goes every 3 hours ish but will then tend to go for a long stretch through the night as we give her a bath to settle her for the night. Shes had 750ml for this entire day.

Had sex with husband and now hes agreeable

I mean....we were not intimate for years because I wasnt feeling it but we started being intimate these past two months and boy I tell you. Like a changed man. Is this really how easy it is??
