Here is some information on Bottle Feeding. The video I am sharing is useful no matter what you have in the bottle, and it can also help with introducing a bottle to a primarily breastfed baby. I will also share some links to bottles and pumps that come recommended from other parents. I intend to add more links as people share their experiences and recommendations with me. You can do this by sending an email to info@douladee.ie
Paced bottle feeding has many benefits. It can reduce risk of overfeeding, and it helps the baby feel more in control of the feed.
I’m often asked which is the BEST pump and best bottle to use. I am always very reluctant to give an answer because what works for one person doesn’t always work for another! I’ll post a few here though that have come highly recommended by other mums, and you can decide if they look like they might work for you. If you have tried something different and you found it worked well for you, please let me know and I’ll see if I can post a link up here for other mums!
