What bottles do you guys recommend for newborn? I’m planning to breastfeed but people are telling me to be ready with bottles and formula just in case. What are the best options?

We use the MAM bottles, we tried the tommie ones but not all the milk could get round the shape. The MAM ones are good and he took to them really well

My breast fed baby likes MAM bottles and doctor brown was accepted too. She hated Tommie ones

Tommee tippee bottles are awful, terrible shape teat, clog all the time. We used MAM and NUK, they were fab.

Been using both Tommee Tippee and MAM, baby seems happy with both. The Tommee ones seem to stop him from gulping less air but the MAM ones stop him from spilling less out the side of his mouth.
Unfortunately I think it's baby specific sometimes too

The mam bottles are no good for putting breast milk in if thats what yiu want to use them for as water can get into the bottom seal and into the milk.
My baby boy went through a bottle rejection hes EBF but need him to take a bottle occasionally if hes left with grandparents. The only bottles he now takes is the vital baby breast like bottles and they never affected his latch and mimic breast feeding the best.
When we used mam or tommy tippee or nuk he we shallow latch it would be really painfull for the next few feeds.

Depends what your baby will take.
Took me three times to find a bottle. Tommee Tippee and NUK were a big no, but my little boy took straight to Dr Browns.
I EBF for 4 months then combi fed for a further month before going to just bottle.

Each baby is different. Mine is EBF and has never really taken to a bottle.
One thing I discovered is some teats fit in different bottles. My little one did take some milk from a minbie teat on a MAM bottle. A few of my EBF friends also had luck with a lanisoh teat on a MAM bottle.
It could be trial and error for a bit but fingers crossed you find something that works 😊

My breastfed baby only took Lansinoh bottles

We’ve tried MAM and tommee tippee. Although the mam ones are good, we Much prefer the tommee tippee ones just for ease as they don’t have so many parts to take apart and you can sit them in water without worrying the water will leak in.
It's not long now until my baby goes into his own room and id like some opinions on baby monitors😅
Also how loud are they? I worry I won't wake up if the monitor isn't loud enough 🫣

Ladies, throw me some suggestions for nursing bra's please. Last time I had some from amazon and overall they were good I just don't find them as supportive/ shaping as i would like. Also they need to be fairly budget friendly and plus size.
I'd love to be able to buy the expensive ones but cant. Tia.

I’m seeing so many people talking about them still having contact with their health visitors… I haven’t seen mine since my daughter was 2 months old nor had a check in. Just wanted to know if that’s normal or is it because of the area I live in?
