Standing in the bottle aisle can feel… overwhelming 😵💫
Here’s what actually matters (and what doesn’t):
🍼 Flow > “breast-like” marketing
A appropriate sized ni**le is usually the most important factor, even for older babies
🍼 Watch the baby, not the age range
Coughing, gulping, leaking, or frustration are signs the flow or shape may not be a good fit.
🍼 There is no perfect bottle
No bottle truly mimics breastfeeding and that’s okay!Responsive, paced feeding matters far more.
🍼 You don’t need to buy 6 different brands
Start with one, see how your baby responds, and adjust if needed.
