Bottle feeding journey - finally figured something out

P

2w ago1 min read

We were combo feeding and my daughter was getting frustrated switching between breast and bottle. Talked to the lactation consultant and switched to bottle feeding pumped milk and she's so much happier now. My wife can actually get a break and I'm bonding with our daughter during feedings. Took us a while to get here but man what a difference. Anyone else bottle feeding exclusively? Tips?

This is the kind of problem solving that makes early parenthood so exhausting but also kind of awesome. You're learning your kid's actual needs instead of just going with what worked for someone else.

Bottle preference is so real. We dealt with this too and it was one of those things that felt bigger than it actually was. Glad you found something that works for your daughter. The nipple shape really does make a difference.

Combo feeding can be tricky but it sounds like you nailed it once you figured out what she actually needed. What bottle type ended up working for you guys?
