For those of you who are parents on here... (girl thread)

What brand/type of bottle did you use for your child?

This thread is asking to be closed. It violates the new NO PINK law I'm putting into effect.

Sorry, can't help a lot with this one, I breast-fed all three of mine

 

[CletusJones]

you should be breast feeding.

I don't think it's the brand of bottle that matters so much as the type of nipple.......

 

[BigDov]

and I only know this because it just wasn't possible for the wife to breast feed.

The pink perky hard ones are the best.

Of course they are......

IIRC, when my mom (nurse practitioner) recommends bottles she recommends Avent (or maybe Advent) because they have 3 holes in the nipple.

Plenty thanks- all three kids were bottle babies. Breast feeding just wasn't in the cards for my wife........ Advent bottles are what we had though, and then later on, Nuk or something like that.

The type that helped prevented gas and colic.

What does breast milk taste like? Have you guys tried it?

It doesn't work out for everyone, and not all women want to do it. It's a great thing for the babies, but somehow most bottle-fed babies do fine

I am planning on brest-feeding, I just want to get some bottles for when its not possible to brest-feed. I am in a wedding shortly after the baby is due and it won't exactly be easy with a dress on. Also for when I am at work, and when the baby is with family.

Feeding time?

Oh yeah. Let me get some cookies.
