Best bottle/teat?

5 replies

I am breastfeeding 7 week old and would like to be able to give her an occasional bottle feed. Tried on Avent bottle few times, took it once but now refuses and gets very distressed. Can anyone recommend a different bottle/teat or offer any suggestions please?

When I was still trying to BF but advised to give topup with formula I was advised to use a variflow teat so she still had to work for the milk. The Baby Whisper suggests Haberman Feeder a friend of mine used them to give EBM and she thinks they are great.

ps I now use MAM teats in my advent bottles

i found the best were tommee tippee closer to nature as the teat encourages the baby to latch on like he does with the breast - ie nice wide open mouth. I BF my DS for 7 weeks and my DH gave a daily bottle using these and when i switched totally there was no issue. It can be trial and error tho' - i tried Avent and Nuk without success.
