Bottles for mixing with breastfeeding

[womble17]

Can anyone recommend good bottles to use when giving a baby expressed milk?

My son is 3 months and has been EBF but I am trying to get him to take a bottle of expressed milk as I have a hen night to go to in about 6 weeks. Plus it would be nice to share the feeding a bit with my husband. We have been trying tommy tippee and have tried with avent tonight. My husband says that he just can't seem to get the right sucking motion on the bottles.
Thanks

Mam bottles worked well for me, they have a flatter teat which is similar to the shape they press your nipple into.

The tommy tippy ones with the boob shaped teat worked well for us.

Medela Calma were the ones we used, they need an action that is a bit similar to the action used to breastfeed.

I found lansinoh Momma ones good

Thanks for your suggestions. Will look into trying a different one. It's just so expensive to keep trying bottles!

I've used the Tommy tippy closer to nature ones for occassional formula top ups and expressed milk.

Word of warning though, DD is 4.5 months and has always been an enthusiastic breast feeder, but I've just come back from a hen do weekend and after 36 hrs of bottles she is already completely refusing to be breast fed. I was planning to stop in the next six weeks anyway so I'm not going to push it but I'm a bit devastated.

Mrs Bartlett can you post a link for the flat tommee tippee teats? Thanks.

Blahblah sorry that wasn't me think it was Phillipa12
