I'm planning on breastfeeding again! What are the best bottles in your opinion? I want daddy to be able to feed him as well!?
I understand wanting dad to feed baby as well but it’s not recommended to pump until at least 6 weeks. I know countless people and have heard even more stories of people who failed at breastfeeding due to pumping to early or using a bottle too early. Pumping causes your body to over produce having a heavy let down which will cause baby to choke and get frustrated with breastfeeding. Over supply will also be super painful for you. It is also much easier for baby to get milk from the bottle then your nipple so they will get lazy super quick and refuse the breast and only take a bottle simply because it is easier and faster.
I used avent natural but found that the flow is way more important than the bottle in order for them to not develop a preference for the faster flow of the bottle, the nipple should be a “0” flow or preemie depending on the brand.
