Bottle recommendations for giving EBM to a mainly directly boob fed baby

[CoffeeCoffeeAndLotsOfIt]

Hi all

My dd is 4 months old. She's ebf.

I've been out a few times and Dh has attempted to give her a bottle of ebm but she doesn't really get on with it.

What bottles do you recommend that are as boob like as possible iykwim?

She also has a habit of gulping down air which makes her windy. Medela calma is what we currently have along with some teats we were given by the hospital when she was firstborn.

Thanks all :-)

Anyone?

I used the medela swing and got the bottles to feed with but ended up getting MAM self sterilising ones which my baby much preferred and easily went from breast to bottle for 9 months. Check them out.

I use dr browns with no problems but I've heard good things about the NUK bottles with latex teats for breastfed babies.

Thanks both

tomee tipee 'closer to nature' bottles are meant for breast fed babies, my DS prefers them to other bottles.

We also used the Tommee Tippee closer to nature for both girls when they had the odd ebm bottle when small. They both guzzled it down

And they both needed much more frequent burping during a bottle feed, I just assumed it was normal.

Nuk only one she would attempt

Used the closer to nature as well. Also you could cup feed or teaspoon feed in a pinch/if you don't want to waste the milk. Videos on you tube and have tried it myself.

Oh and just keep offering a little regularly (daily?) in bottle to give her a chance to get used to it.

Medela calma teats are awful imo. Mams anti colic self sterilising bottles are fab.

Another vote for MAM. Got a pack from TK Max x.
DS had his first bottle at around 8 weeks. No issue at all after stressing out about it.
Wish I'd realised with DD who refused bottles for ages (we had Tommee Tippee ones for her). I thought all bottles were the same .

NUK with latex teats for DD1.

Haven't head the energy to try yet with DD2.

Another vote for Nuk bottles although only DC1 was prepared to take boob and bottle, the other two refused a bottle point blank despite my extensive collection of different types of teat.

Have a read/get DH to read about paced feeding. It might help with her gulping down air. This is quite good:

Great - thanks everyone :-)

I'll get my husband to look at the paced feeding link

We used dr browns but after tolerating a bottle for months, when he turned 8 months he had a bottle strike (just as I went back to work, yippee) so now he is cup fed if I am not there.
