What bottles cause least problem with nursing?

Nursing is the best thing you can do for your baby. The nurses cannot make you bottle feed if you don't want to.It's your baby and your body, breast feed if that's what you want.

um, get some backbone mama!!!!

Why will the nurses "insist" that you give bottles???? If your hospital is that unfriendly and misinformed about breastfeeding, then you need to choose another more progressive place to deliver. If that is simply not an option, then grow a pair and breastfeed. Period.

Screw what your family thinks. They are your t*ts and your baby.....you will nurse him and NO ONE gets to bottle feed him until nursing is well established and not until you say it's okay.

If you want to breastfeed, you cannot mix bottles with nursing from the beginning. Bottles can always be introduced later on, but you will struggle to undo the damage bottle feeding creates in the newborn.

Get super educated on this and be prepared....visit with a certified lacation consultant and know your game plan for becoming a success. Bring a sign with you to the hospital that reads "Breastfeeding ONLY, no bottles and no pacifiers"......and keep baby with you as much as possible.

And, are you sure you have to have another section??? I don't know your circumstances, but VBACS are very possible and a vaginal delivery makes breastfeeding so much easier. Good luck.

To answer your question; I breastfed all 4 of my babies, and used playtex drop-ins for bottles of pumped breastmilk starting around the 2nd week, only because I had an over-active letdown & responded well to the pump. My babies all preferred a differnt nipple on the bottle though, and luckilly that brand offers a variety of shapes. They never had a problem nursing, even with using the occasional bottle.

More importantly, the nurses can "insist" on anything they feel like, but Only YOU are the MOM of your baby, so YOU make ALL the decisions regarding your baby. You can INSIST that your baby is only breastfed by you, not bottlefed, and kept by your side at all times. It's sad but hospitals & many pediatricians get $$ from formula companies, and they all know that the sooner a baby is introduced to formula, the more likely that that baby will be eating it full time soon there-after.

Maybe you can incorporate your parenting decisions into your birth plan, so that it's in writing; or make a pre-birth visit to the hospital and voice your concerns to the staff who cares for the babies, and see what happens from there. Good luck to you, Mama :) And Congrats! :)

You must be going to a very old-fashioned hospital! Nurses can't INSIST you give your son a bottle. They don't have that power. Most nurses today ENCOURAGE you NOT to use bottles. Just say no. When you get there to register, tell them to put it on your account - no bottles or pacifiers. That should be the only thing you need to do.

Arm yourself with knowledge!! Knowledge in power and since you have some time before giving birth, I would learn as much as you can about breastfeeding and breastfeeding after a c-section and you will realize that you do NOT have to give your baby a bottle. If you don't have family support, find a local La Leche League (LLL) leader and group and go to meeting before you give birth. Also, try to find breastfeeding classes or other resources in your area (LLL leader should be able to help). Bring some family members along to meetings or class and give them information to read and hopefully some of them will come around. You are making a great decision to breastfeed but it can be hard to succeed with little or no support and with introducing a bottle so early.

Here are some links that will hopefully help! Good luck!

Well, there's no reason they should force you to use a bottle to my knowledge. But my breastfed babies both did well with playtex dropins or ventaire with the natural latch (wide) nipple. But I waited until 2-4 weeks to introduce a bottle. I have never had a c section but my best advice would be try and avoid bottles the first few days or couple weeks if possible. Good Luck.

i do no longer understand if it would help yet possibly you're able to desire to attempt expressing your milk for a pair of days and seeing if she will take that from a bottle... possibly if she takes breastmilk from a bottle then she could be happier to start taking formulation?? might that's worth attempting a distinctive formulation? I honestly have been fortunate that I honestly have been able to breastfeed, yet I honestly have acquaintances who've had to start supplementing with formulation and staring at their decision to start has made me savour how complicated that's once you at the instant cannot absolutely produce adequate milk, and how making particular your baby is happy and correctly fed is the main obligatory. i think of that's large which you're nonetheless breastfeeding as much as you could. that's authentic that returned interior the day there replaced into no formulation, yet there replaced into additionally usually different women who worked as moist nurses to assist supplement some mothers, in spite of the reality that granted this wasn't attainable to all. solid success

Tell the nurse NO. It is your baby and your decision. I use glass evenflo bottles when I am away from my baby and she needs a bottle of expressed milk. I have had no problems with them. Best of Luck!

I use what the lactation consultant recommended and that is First Years Breast flow... I had bought and registered for Tom Tippe bottles but the lactation consultant recommended the breast flow and they are great. The only issue is finding them I sometimes can get them from Target.

Tell them you plan to breastfeed ande ask for the lactation consultant. No need to give into pressure.
