Bottle and pacifier recommendations

MAM all the way x

I’ve ordered Dr Brown’s slow to breast bottles (wide neck). This is based on me wanting to breastfeed too, so hopefully will work out as a good transition. A lot of people told me not to buy a huge amount of bottles straight away as your baby may not like the bottle brand you first try out with. So only got 4 bottles for now and will purchase more depending on how it all goes!

As for bottles, I used MAM for my twins, only that one worked with baby #1. It helped preventing with the colic and gases and also avoided the niple confusion. As for pacifiers, they only liked Philip Avent and MAM. I recommend you to buy one and test it, because the baby can deny it and you’ll have to buy another brand. It happened with me…

Used nuks and Mams orthodontic with my first son, going to try the round BIBS/Itsy Ritzy this time due to them being supposedly better for breastfeeding. With my first I was afraid of the round messing with his teeth but they promote a better latch which he had a shallow latch and I’ve read if you can drop pacifiers by a year it shouldn’t matter either way.

We are loyal to Dr Brown bottles!

If you plan to breastfeed I would wait before buying bottles! Also, if you want long-lasting ones I would suggest you buy the glass ones. Like the Avent. For pacifiers, one at the time 😖 I bought like 8 last time and my baby hated them all. I will try the Bib first this time since it was highly recommended

I have used Mam pacifiers since my son was born, I plan on doing that with my daughter as well.

While all of these bottles are great i highly recommend the Emulait if you plan to breastfeed, they have the same structure as a breast for good latching
