Bottles for expressed milk fussy baby

[Belle1616]

Expressing now so my partner can do the odd feed, however need bottle advice. Tried lanisoh medium flow last night and he did a couple of sucks and then protested and screamed after a few tries we gave up. How do we introduce bottles? Obviously I want to still breastfeed so don't want any confusion.. also what are the best bottles to use?


He won't take dummies ( tried nuk, mama and tommy tippee )

I got the mam ones you can sterilise in the microwave. .
And the tiny dummies 0-2 months were the only my ones ds would have. . Smaller than 0-6. Can order online as not many shops have that size.

If it's just the odd feed I don't think this is going to work easily. Babies usually reject bottles fairly strongly and need persistence to get them used to them. There will be no confusion so don't worry about that but I would maybe plan for every night the 10 or 11pm feed is always a bottle. So your DP can do it and you can benefit from a good sleep from 8-2am ish if you need it. Just offering a bottle here and there every few days will not help baby get used to one easily and is not great for your supply, you'll spend the time engirged and miserable.

We're using the Mam bottles with slightly more success than the Tommee Tippee ones. You should stick with the slow flow teats for breastfed babies though.
