Best Bottle to use during Breastfeeding???
I am having such a hard time figuring out the best bottle to use during breastfeeding. ?The First Years Breastflow bottle or Dr. Brown's?
Re: Best Bottle to use during Breastfeeding???
My kid never got on the bf bandwagon. But I've heard really good things about the MAM anti-colic bottle. It is supposed to have a special nip that simulates bfing. They sell them at BrU.

Or just buy one kind, but not a lot of them and then switch if it's not working. Generally, If you introduce the bottle once BF'ing is established, but the baby is still very young, it shouldn't be a problem, regardless of the bottle type you try. "specialty bottles" are a bigger issue for kids with reflux/spit up problems. Just don't wait until you're 12 weeks in and about to return to work to try introducing a bottle! (unless you're a big fan of stress and trauma) I used to pump in the morning before DD woke up and would have DH feed DD with a bottle in the evening when she'd go on her nursing marathons. It helped 1. me get a break. and 2. gave DH a chance to get some quality time with her and 3. got her used to getting milk from a bottle and a different person.
Then of course there's the BPA issue, look for BPA-free bottles to avoid getting a lecture on 'bad plastics' from your local "bottle nazi's"!
