Mommies ?
Can we talk about bottles? I'm hoping to breastfeed/pump and will need some, but have no idea what I should be looking for? Do I have to get the Medela ones for pumping or can I use any?
Which ones do you use and why or why not to use certains ones. I had no idea there were so many types out there!
Re: Mommies ?
I used the basic Gerber because they worked with the Medela pump and DS wouldn't take the Advent bottles or the Dr. Brown.
My best advice is to get one or two of a few different types as your LO may not take to the one that you decide to stock up on.
Lauren really liked the Dr. Brown's. I have a Medela pump, but didn't use Medela bottles. The pump will come with some containers for pumping, then I would just transfer to a Dr. Brown's bottle.
I had some Born Free as well, but Lauren didn't like them.
A friend of mine who is BF'ing uses the Born Free - it's all her kid likes!
I agree with getting 1 of each and trying them out..
You know how DD refused all bottles (gah).
We have Cicco, Playtex, Born Free, Gerber, Evenflow, Medela... she hates them all
She loves her sippy cup but we've had to function til 6 months with no bottle feedings. Twas very hard!
When she did take the bottle (the one and only weekend that she ever did go for it, when my appendix came out), she took the medela bottle like a pro.
no real answers for you, Sarah. Noah never really took to the bottle... well, I never offered him one. Only a sippy cup, with different nipples. and even then, he only took it very few times.
I hope that your baby doesn't make you have to buy a whole whack load of bottles.
