The First Years Breastflow Complete Starter Set Baby Bottle —
If your baby is a "problem-nurser" -- having trouble learning to nurse (her mouth is small, your breast is large, or he just isn't catching on) -- you want the BreastFlow bottle.
I went through 6 exhausting weeks of pumping milk to bottle-feed with my son. He wasn't figuring out how to latch and suck properly, despite several weeks of appointments with lactation consultants. We had tried several bottle brands, each claiming to be "just like the breast". But none of them were working. Finally an acquaintance described the BreastFlow bottle. I was skeptical that these would be any better, especially as they are significantly less expensive than some of the bottles that hadn't worked for us.
Within 2 days of starting to use BreastFlow, my little one was latching and sucking normally. In just a few more days, we were able to transition fully to breastfeeding for the first time in his life. We continue to use the bottles with great success and no confusion for the baby two months later, and will use them for the rest of his breastfeeding time at home and daycare.
From now on, I will buy a BreastFlow bottle for every expecting mother I know, just in case she too gets a "problem-nurser".
