Fed with Love

They go from crying to completely asleep as they get just enough to make their little tummies happy again. But, you and I both know that if they don’t finish their feeding, they will be back up again in no time!

Here’s how to keep them awake.

What’s your favorite method? Let the new moms know in the comments!

Comment BOTTLE GUIDE & I will send you info on the top 10 bottles in the US.

Mam bottles are very popular in Europe.

They have venting in the bottom and are self sterilizing.

Here’s what you should know:
The 0 flow ni**le actually has a medium flow and is likely too fast for most newborns.
The ni**le shape is unique with a wide base and compresses tip. We know that we DO NOT want compressed ni**les while breastfeeding so that is weird marketing.

What do I see? Some babies do great on the bottle and some will not take it. The babies I see doing really well on it often have bubble or high palates, special feeding considerations, or a chompier feeding pattern, but that isn’t necessarily true of every baby on it.

For some reason, babies with bottle refusal may take this bottle when they can’t handle others.

If it’s working for your baby, I am reluctant to make any changes.

If it’s not working for your baby, you can consider changing out the ni**le for a Pigeon or Lansinoh ni**le. It appears to fit without much wiggling so hopefully minimal leaking!

Is your baby taking the mam bottle? Did they hate it? Love it? Let me know!

Can I tell you something that may surprise you: baby bottle companies have really good marketing teams that know just what you’re struggling with. 🫣

Sure, there are a lot of bottles that are “best for breastfed babies.” But are they really?

What happens when your baby still refuses it?

If this is you right now, it might not be the bottle! Comment the word “podcast” to listen to my latest episode where I tell you exactly how to choose the right bottle and ni**le for your breastfed baby.

And if you want to skip to the good part, get a 1-1 consult where I can help you navigate this struggle with you. You’re not alone, parents! Click the link in my bio to learn more about my feeding consults.

Parents of older kiddos, I know you remember those earliest days! 😅 Whether it was a few months, years, or decades ago, the newborn season is a mixed bag of emotions and sleepless nights.

Take a moment and share some encouragement in the comments.
