![]() ![]() And then Philips Avent size 1s were too fast for her and caused her to choke on the milk). ![]() It would come out in gushes so half of it ended up on the burp cloth. They were too slow for her and she'd suck for a whole hour and not be able to finish a 2 oz bottle. Some babies are super picky about which nipples they'll take, and some babies really struggle with some nipples and not others (my daughter really struggled with the Boon Nursh. See what your baby likes and does well with before stocking up. Browns, because those pieces add up fast when you're feeding 8 bottles per day). If you're exclusively bottle feeding, you can generally follow the age recommendations on the nipples.Īs for what I'd recommend, pick a few bottles you're interested in (I recommend avoiding bottles with lots of difficult to clean pieces, like Dr. Browns, and Philips Avent sell preemie nipples that are even slower than what their bottles traditionally come with). If you're transitioning back and forth between breast and bottle, you'll want to find the slowest flow nipple you possibly can (some brands, like Tommee Tippee, Olababy, Nanobébé, Dr. Generally small bottles (4-5 oz) come with size 1 (newborn) and larger bottles (6 oz or more) come with a medium flow nipple. I love the feel and the reduced use of plastics while avoiding the weight and fragility of glass).Īs far as nipples, there are different flows. I personally pumped into plastic Philips Avent bottles (plastic is a lot lighter than glass, and as an overproducer, I filled 9 oz bottles, so with glass that would have been prohibitively heavy) and then transferred the milk to Comotomo bottles (I personally really like silicone bottles for feeding. Philips Avent and Mam bottles will both connect directly to the Spectra S1. Thank you, thank you, thank you.The Spectra S1 takes standard wide mouth bottles. Your work is proof positive of the amazing things that happen when women can create, imagine, and enact solutions for the benefit of human kind. This may sound melodramatic, but thank you from the bottom of my heart on behalf of all the other new and future mothers out there who will benefit from this technology. Your work has allowed nursing mothers (and those who want to nurse but are having difficulties with latching) to miraculously eliminate so many steps and just ENJOY the time with their babies. at a time when physical, emotional, and mental energy is taxed beyond belief. This required so much additional planning, sterilizing, washing, and storage. ![]() every night, I nursed one daughter and fed the other pumped milk from the previous pumping, and then pumped again to save up for the second twin's next feeding. The number of steps that it reduces is mind-boggling. As a working mother of twins, who struggled through a year of breastfeeding (where one twin readily latched and the other completely did not), while also going back to work after four months and pumping an average of 8-10x a day, I am shaken by how monumental your work is and will be to mothers everywhere. The LacTeck Pump2Baby Bottle really saved us a lot of unnecessary stops on our big “meet the whole family” road trip and I’m so grateful for it!ĭear Katherine, I just read about your brilliant new invention for breastfeeding mothers on Next Pittsburgh and I am almost moved to tears. I kept a large zip lock with a little bit of water in it and would throw everything in there when I was done pumping and just shake it up, then at the next stop I’d dump the water and wipe it down so it would be ready for the next use. He got to a point where he’d get all excited and reach for the cap with the nipple and just hold it himself while he’d happily look out the window. Instead of having to stop every two hours and nurse him, every other feeding I would do with the LacTeck Pump2Baby Bottle. You can imagine that this would create a problem while trying to do 7-9 hours of driving a day while traveling the country. Our little one is 5.5 months old and he nurses every 2 hours on the dot. Thank you so much for allowing me to beta test the LacTeck Pump2Baby Bottle! We’ve taken it on two big trips already and it has been a wonderful way to save time. ![]()
