Bottle feeding advice needed!

My little one is 8 months old and up to now has been ebf. I’m looking to transition his afternoon feed to formula in preparation for returning to work after Christmas.
Does anyone have any bottle recommendations? We haven’t got on well with tommee tippees. Also what size teat would he need?

Hey, my DD is 3 months and has also been EBF. We’ve been using the Mam bottles, and have had okay luck with a 0 teat but also have some size 1 to try as we’re still in the early days!

A tip from my experience so far, I tried sitting her up to reduce gas but she wouldn’t take the bottle at all like that so I lay her down next to my boob as if I was about to BF and she seems to easily associate the bottle with food then, so we’ve had a couple of feeds!

I’d also advise not trying initially when they’re too hungry and try warming the teat between clean fingers first so it’s more nipple like!

Good luck! Xx

I would try Mam or Avent with 0 or 1 size teats as they won't have experienced an actual teat before.
