[blparent] bottles, bags and nipples

[Melissa Ann Riccobono]

Like so many other things, this all depends on the particular baby involved.
Since this baby will be exclusively bottle fed though, it probably won't
matter quite as much because the baby won't be used to the breast and then
have to get used to a bottle.  My son was fine with any type of bottle.  My
daughter HATED most bottles, and we had to do a lot of searching before we
foundone she liked and would drink from.  (Luckily she was only in day care
1 day a week for part of a day, and breast fed the rest of the time.)  I
used the Playtex with the bags for my son.  I can't remember the brand we
finally found that Oriana would drink from.  I've heard good things about
Dr. Brown's bottles--again, this is all up to personal choice and what a
baby prefers.  It will also depend on how gasy the baby is, how much of a
sucker the baby is, and lots of other factors.
Sorry I can't be more help.

Subject: [blparent] bottles, bags and nipples


A friend of mine is going to have a baby and she has already decided that
she will be pumping exclusively  (For the six weeks)  and then  maybe even
supplementing with formula, but she does not want to actually breastfeed
from the breast.... ... it is complicated and she is a bit strange. But,
anyway, . 
She asked me about bottles.
I usually  get the playtex bottles with the bags b/c I thought that the baby
would  get less air from  them.
but, all of the breastpumps come with plastic bottles --- all, except the
playtex pump and I did not find that one very effective.
Is there something good that I don't know about the plastic bottles????
And, I get the playtex slow flow (most like breast nipples) nipples. [at
least that is what the package says].  
Has there been any reviews/studies on nipples and which ones work best. One
of my friends got the nipples that are round nubs and flat on top. the
nipples that I buy are kind of rounded, like the nipple shields. 
the little formula packets that the hospital gives you have these round
nipples, but they are small and my lactation consultant said that they were
also not good to help baby's suck.... Any suggestions. she asked me which
bottles and nipples were best and while I had my own opinion, I just wanted
to see if the facts matched my opinion.
Thanks.
