Question about giving EBM in a bottle

2 replies

DD (4 months) has never refused a bottle of EBM. My DH gives her a bottle occasionally if I'm out or busy, but it's not a daily thing. We're using the Avent pump and bottle. The thing is that after a bottle feed, she yanks and tugs my nipple, presumably frustrated that the milk is not as easy to get from the breast as it is from the bottle. OUCH! We're using number 2 teats. A friend recommended Tommy Tippee bottles and teats as they are more similar to the breast, however DH claims that she fusses more and gulps more air and he has to burp her more when using these bottles.

Have any of you had any experience of this and would another change of bottle/teat help?

I would just try changing to a newborn teat which will be a slower flow.

Def a newborn teat - sounds like she's annoyed with the slower flow.
