Anyone using Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature?

dd is in SCBU after being born 12 weeks early. She is now nearly due to go homeSmile and I am hoping to breastfeed but she has so far not latched very well. So we are going to persist and I am giving her breastmilk in TT Closer to Nature bottles as I felt that her "latch" looked a bit better with them than other bottles.

However, I do find that she drinks most of the milk and then there is a tiny bit left at the end, which, no matter how long she sucks, stays in the bottle. It's only a little bit so not all that important but I am wondering whether other people find this with these bottles or does a bigger, full-term baby manage to get all the milk out?

There's always a bit left - don't worry about it. I think it's the shape of the bottle. Don't try to give your little one every last drop or she'll end up sucking down air. Congrats!

Thanks, AJ!
I did wonder. Am not terribly used to bottlefeeding either as all my boys were bf and if they did get a bottle, it was given by someone else so I feel like a novice even though she's my fifth baby!
