Best bottles for a reluctant bottle drinker

8 replies

My daughter is nearly 6 weeks old. For the past couple of weeks she has been having a bottle of EBM every other day. She initially took the bottle quite well but is becoming more reluctant-
she gags on the teat and takes ages to drink an oz.
We are using Dr Brown's bottles as this is what we used with our eldest . Just wondering if changing to a different bottle with a more nipple shaped teat would help? I really don't want to end up with a bottle refuser.

BTW she had a post TT which has been snipped - if it makes any difference

my daughter will only drink ebm from tommee tippee closer to nature bottles.
spent £15 on the Medela Calma bottle as it "mimics breastfeeding". She hates it.

Philips Avent may work?

Nuk with a latex teat, small feed hole (bought from the Nuk website as M'care only seem to sell medium). Worked straight away compared with M'cares own range & Nuk medium teats. Good luck.

tommee tippee for us. although didn't have much luck with them to start with - took me going away on a hen do. After refusing off me and dh (even when I wasn't around) he took bottle straight away.

The Breastflow bottles were the only thing that worked for us. On amazon, bit pricey, but you get desperate!

My LO also hated the Medela Calma, but seems to like the regular Medla teats. They are much softer than the Avent and Tommee Tippee which he hates.

Sounds daft but have you changed the dr brown teat?

I'd search eBay for some bottles - far cheaper than brand new (I sold mine on there, after dd still refused everyone I brought!!)
