I EBF my first for 18 months, and I don't want to BF again this time. I know bottles aren't going to be as "easy" as BF, but I've been a bit overwhelmed by my research! Different types and bottle, different types and speed of teats - not to mention different ways of preparing the milk! In the supermarket the other day, I saw own brand bottles for much less money, and I started to wonder if they would be ok...
In short, can any FF mums give a bit of insight in to what is really necessary, kit-wise. What are the must-haves, or is it a wait and see what your baby is like situation? Can you prep bottles in advance (even though I know it's not recommended)? A friend gave me a perfect prep machine, but then does the baby not get used to bottles at a certain temper, and also - what about when you're out and about?
Am I overcomplicating it? Thanks in advance for any advice from more experienced parents!
