Getting Your Breastfed Baby To Take A Bottle
I am so glad you all stopped by to read this post. I love creating content for my audience and I really appreciate that you’ve stopped by to learn something new. As many of you know, like with my first child Melanie, I exclusively nursed Finn until he was six months and we’ve been working hard to get him used to drinking pumped breast milk from a bottle. I have some classes that I teach and a few out of state conferences coming up so being able to leave him with his dad and a bottle plus pumped milk would be very freeing for me. Also, my husband is looking forward to getting to share more one on one feeding time with his little guy. We’ve been trying various bottles to no avail but then had the chance to try out the NUK Simply Natural bottles and – we appear to be on something! This bottle’s nipple is designed to mimic the shape of a breast and provide a perfect fit for Finn’s mouth. Plus, it is made of a really soft silicone with a pliability that allows Finn to create a create a stable latch with the nipple. I feel like these bottles must really feel like my breast to him while he’s feeding.
