Weaning onto a bottle at 6 months - which bottle?! Help!

[Fleetw00d]

So I'm trying to navigate the minefield of bottles and finding it impossible so hoping for some help!
My dd is 6 months and has been ebf, she had i think about 3 bottles when she was a few days old of expressed milk which she took fine but nothing since.
I'm looking to start her on formula by replacing one boob feed with one bottle for now and then gradually increasing. We're also doing BLW which is going great and she has water at meal times from a munchkin cup.

I tried her on a tommee tippee bottle and I think she was ok with the taste of the formula (cow and gate, open to recommendations here though) but was very confused about the teat and just kept biting it. I tried putting some of my breastmilk on the teat and she would suck a tiny bit but then stop.

What bottles have people found work best for a previously ebf baby?

As she’s 6 months and drinks from a munchkin cup, I would give her formula from a cup/beaker
Tt replicates the nipple but try the variflow teat.
Mam bottles may be ok too.

Ignore any claims that bottles are like breastfeeding as none of them are.

Essentially it's just trial and error which ones they like. Start with the cheap ones - might as well! And then work up to different types if she doesn't take it.

And yes agree it doesn't have to be a bottle, but if you go for a beaker, use one that's easy to clean as you don't want old milk collecting in the mouthpiece and going mouldy.

We found MAM ones great.

Second vote for mam - they are great. Both mine struggled with every teat except mam. Just check the teat flow as I think many babes don't always go by mam's recommended ages. Mine did size 0 as a newborn, size 1 til about 7 months, size 2 til about 11 months and only just on to size 3. He was miles off their recommendations! X
