Bottles / breastfeeding
For those of you that breastfeed and pump/bottle feed what kind of bottles do you use? I breastfeed and only use the pumped milk when I go out or if my boyfriend feeds him at night. So he basically gets one bottle a day but the bottles come out way to fast for him and get all over him, I've tried dr browns and the Medela bottles but neither are slow enough. I feel like he's gonna choke. Help.
If you have Tommee Tippee bottles try the Very slow flow nipple. Most of tommee tippee slow flow nipples start at 1. You have to find the nipples that are 0. They are very hard to find, I have 3 that came from a newborn set someone bought for us. I was able to find another at Babies R Us, but you had to buy the bottle with it.
Alot of my friends recommend Dr Brown as well.
My baby is a week old and I'm still using the hospital nipples that comes with the little disposable 2oz bottles , when I pump I just transfer the milk in there and use that rubber nipples instead of the silicone. When she start drinking more then I'll swith to regular Dr. Browns bottles.
I used Avent Natural with my daughter while she was in daycare and they worked good. With this baby, I've tried the Latch bottles as well. He seems to do better with the Avent but also took the Latch bottle well. Definitely sit baby upright and use a slow flow nipple. Look up info on kellymom.com about paced feeding.
I Am Still Deciding If I Want To Try And Breastfeed or Bottle Feed I Might Try Both...But Does Medcaid Pay For A Breast Feeding Pump???
Quick question to breast feeding mum i would like to breast feed my baby when she comes as I’ve never really breast fed my other 2, is it uncomfortable also how is pumping out milk????? For bottle feeds is the pump uncomfortable... I would normally just breast feed and not pump when home but I do drive so when I’m out and can’t stop I’ll have to use a bottle...I remember trying to breast feed my youngest and I keeped getting milk ducts why was that??? I think that’s why I gave up as I was scared...
so my husband wants to feed are baby but the thing is that I will be breastfeeding so idk how it would work. he was thinking that when he wants to feed him he would give him formula but I just want my baby to have breast milk. so then he said why don't you pump your milk out and I'll feed it to him and i thought that would be the best thing but then I'm scared that my baby will get use to the bottle. I need help idk what to do because my husband really wants to feed him :/ and we need to come up...
Just curious but can you breastfeed and bottle feed? Or is it one or the other situation? Xx Wanting And hoping I will be able to breastfeed this time around! X
