She will even take a bottle from me with no problems with confusion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1604061 Thu, 01 May 2014 00:33:47 +0000 pinkcupcake 1604061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for the Comotomo. That's the only bottle my daughter would take. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1604043 Thu, 01 May 2014 00:02:28 +0000 AprilFool 1604043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our comotomos and LO took to them with no issues. I think they are vey boob like ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1603934 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 21:37:39 +0000 matador84 1603934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amelieisme: we are having success with TT bottles. She still will only take 1-2 oz at a time, but if they wait and reintroduce she finishes the bottle. Yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1601621 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 09:55:27 +0000 Amelieisme 1601621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: Checking in to see if you found a bottle that worked? We are still troubleshooting at this point but I'm starting to worry. I still have a month but would put my mind at ease if LO would start taking a bottle. How's it going for you and LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1593705 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 16:55:20 +0000 Jellyfish 1593705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for tommee tippee. We have no issues switching between bottle and breast. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1593701 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 16:50:47 +0000 MsMini 1593701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To protect your breastfeeding latch you should use bottles with a gentle slope from nipple to bottle. Most of the "breast like" bottles are terrible for this, it is all about marketing and not about good feeding principles. Advent, and Born free are horrible. Dr Brown (narrow opening, the wide is horrible) and Momma are good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1593651 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 16:03:31 +0000 Pancakes 1593651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ended up having to use Playtex Drop-Ins with the brown (latex) nipples. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1593615 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 15:47:09 +0000 SweetMamaM 1593615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chiming in with another vote for the Tommee Tippee - hope you find one that works for you both soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1593535 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 15:12:19 +0000 danda 1593535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: The nipples are interchangeable and I find it much easier to get the last bit out. Also, the markings are printed in purple so the volumes are much easier to read. Additionally, they fit better in the cooler and in the daycare fridge...so overall I am thrilled with the new design for the bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1593378 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 14:11:36 +0000 Honeygold89 1593378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the momma or evenflo those are the only two he takes. I got the momma bottles from Walmart and at first they were marked down to $7 for a two pack so I just bought one to try and he lived it so I went back to buy more and the were marked down to $2 a pack so I bought all that they had left which was 7 packs lol. He also only drink the milk if it's warm so when bottle feeding him I have to run it under warm water. </p> <p><a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Lansinoh-mOmma-Baby-Bottle-Kit-with-Nipples-BPA-Free/20216203" rel="nofollow">http://www.walmart.com/ip/Lansinoh-mOmma-Baby-Bottle-Kit-with-Nipples-BPA-Free/20216203</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Evenflo-SimplyMilk-5-oz-Breast-Milk-Storage-Bottles-BPA-Free/21684706" rel="nofollow">http://www.walmart.com/ip/Evenflo-SimplyMilk-5-oz-Breast-Milk-Storage-Bottles-BPA-Free/21684706</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1593348 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 14:05:58 +0000 Pirouette 1593348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: good luck! those were the two that got us over the seemingly insurmountable hump with bottles!</p> <p>@danda: haha i meant the nipple...i mean i agree the bottle is shaped boob-like but i assumed that wouldn't make a difference to the baby. but that's interesting about the new bottles, i hadn't heard about them! How do you like them? my only issue with the bottle is that it's hard to get the last bit out of the bottle because of the shape...are these better? and are the nipples interchangeable between the bottles? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1593319 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 13:56:40 +0000 matador84 1593319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsjets: I will ask them at daycare to make sure it is pretty warm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1593314 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 13:54:30 +0000 Mrsjets 1593314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: good luck! I just wanted to chime in and say that I also think the temp of the milk make a big difference. Both my kids like(d) it pretty warm. FWIW we have only ever used TT bottles and have never had any confusion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1593285 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 13:45:44 +0000 danda 1593285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NovBaby1112: @Pirouette: I assume you mean the combination of bottle and nipple is most boob-shaped? They redesigned the bottle (not the nipple) so it is now normal shaped! I went out and bought a full set of 8 new bottles because I hated the round shape of the old style. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1593159 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 13:05:15 +0000 matador84 1593159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alrighty girls I picked up a TT bottle and m0mma...if one works, I'll get a set!

I just recently did a survey for them and asked them about the wide neck nipples and they said many did use them for breastfed babies. But if I remember right they'd have to be a whole new bottle, collar, nipple. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1593084 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 12:49:10 +0000 matador84 1593084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: I'm not sure they were DS. I think they are just standard size? At bru now and all the bottles...sheesh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1593081 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 12:47:48 +0000 MrsB2012 1593081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've spent a ton of money on different bottles. I know use the Lansinoh ( which were like $2 on sale! ) We also have tommee tippee that she will take as well. I ended up making the hole in the nipple slightly bigger as well which seemed to help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1592960 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 12:19:14 +0000 gingerbebe 1592960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've registered for the Avent Naturals starter set (4 bottles, 2 small, two large) because a number of moms we know have said that was the only bottle their babies would take and they are easy to put together. I also registered for different nipples with different flow rates to see if that would help. They don't cost very much so I thought we'd try those before moving on to more expensive ones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1592948 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 12:16:15 +0000 kjpugs 1592948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've seen comotomo and I think it's promising.</p> <p>Are you using the Dr Browns wide mouth nipples? Apparently those are more similar to the breast?</p> <p>I also know some people have luck with Tommee Tipee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1592891 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 12:01:29 +0000 Adira 1592891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Avent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-breast-shaped-bottle#post-1592861 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 11:52:46 +0000 Meltini 1592861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS isn't picky when it comes to bottlesbut we haven't had any problems switching between Tommee Tippee, Comotomo, and the boob. </p>
