7 of the Best Bottles for Breastfeeding Babies

Let’s face it, breastfeeding mothers need a break too. But sometimes it’s nearly impossible if your baby won’t take a bottle. Even if it’s to take a long nap or to get your haircut! So after searching for something that would keep all the hard work I did to teach my baby to breastfeed, I discovered a lot of great brands that offer bottles for breastfeeding babies. 

The key is to find a wide neck bottle with a silicone nipple shaped like a breast.

Common among breastfeeding bottles is trouble with the nipples collapsing. Here are ways to help prevent that from happening. 

How to prevent the nipple from collapsing – Vent

When I first started using these bottles, I actually got really frustrated because I couldn’t figure out how to get the nipple to stop caving into the bottle. The collapsing is caused by the anti-colic valves on the nipple not opening properly. Before each feeding, just push a toothpick or cleaning pick (like the one pictured below) through the vent to prevent the silicone from sticking together. This stopped the nipple from caving in for me!
