Bottles While Breastfeeding

There are lots of bottles for breastfeeding babies

out there. There isn’t one bottle that works for all
breastfeeding babies though. We have tried quite a
few different bottles between our three children. They
each had a different preference.
Medela: my oldest was the easiest when it came
to bottles. He used the standard Medela bottles that
came with the pump. There are different nipple flows
but we stuck with the “slow flow” since it would aid in
an easy transfer between nursing and bottles. Some
children will become frustrated with nursing after using
a high flow bottle nipple since it takes more work to get
milk.
Avent: my second was exclusively bottle fed with
breast milk. She used the Medela bottles in the
beginning but she started taking in too much air when
feeding. My sister-in-law gave me some Avent bottles
that her son didn’t like and they were a perfect match!
They have a ring that helps prevent gas. There are
other anti-gas bottles on the market but I preferred
these since the parts were easy to assemble and clean.
Bare: my third child has not liked any of the
previous bottles we used. I did a lot of research to try
and find a bottle that would work for him. I came
across a mom-invented bottle that had not been
released yet. These bottles use vacuum seal
technology so there is no air in the bottle. These bottles
function as similar to a breast as possible. We have only
used it a few times and I’m still learning how to
assemble it since it is different than regular bottles. He
really isn’t a fan of bottles but will drink a few sips at a
time from this one. Check them out
