Any tips on getting a breastfed baby to take a bottle of expressed milk? I absolutely LOVE breastfeeding but I'd also love to take a bath in peace one day 😂 right now I only have the tommee tippee closer to nature bottles. Is it worth investing in some better bottles or should I just 'suck it up' (hahaha pun intended)😂 and get over the fact that he doesn't like bottles.
I just got clawed in the eye and gave up and baby is now happily snoozing attached to my boob.

I used NUK bottles with Layla she was breast and formula fed and she took to them really well! The teat mimics the shape of a nipple xx

My son refused the bottle. I even tried that MiniBe one and he wouldn’t take it so I have no advice but good luck, I hope you find one he’ll take.

I'm okay if he doesn't take one in the end as I was only planning on doing 1 bottle a day. Will definitely keep expressing milk to use in baths and stuff

oh I get it. I loved breastfeeding(actually just started weaning this week 😫) but having them be able to take even one bottle a day would be amazing. Mama freedom. 😂

We tried a few bottles with Theo. Tommee tippee - no chance.
Nuby - not much better.
Munchkin - he'd take it on occasion.
Medela (so bloody expensive) - took it for about a week.
MAM - still takes them now xx

I'd heard the mam ones are good 😊 xx

I never found a bottle my first daughter would take but with my second she took to a minbie bottle. It took until she was 10 months but we got there. Good luck! X

Thanks! We'll get there eventually! Xx

We went through lots of different bottles with my daughter. She eventually took the Lansinoh one, but never off me. xx

yeah my partner tried once but Owen hated it and screamed so much it kind of put my partner off. He was really disheartened. Will see if I can get him to have another go 🤔 xx

my partner was the same so I used to get my Mum try. She was much less fazed by her going nuts at her 😂 xx
