Feeding Bottles (Thread 5)

[bagaholic_chewy]

^^ if you can, direct latching is still the best. One risk kasi of introducing bottles is baka magka-nipple confusion ang baby. In Breastfeeding Pinays, they would recommend cup-feeding instead. Even day-old babies can do cup-feeding naman kasi, some hospital NICUs actually practice this lalo for preemies.

In my case, i introduced the bottle nung around 6 weeks si baby. If i needed to go out or do some errands (or if i just badly needed an hour or two of sleep/rest), bottle-fed sya with my pumped breastmilk. I may be one of the few lucky ones whose baby did not have nipple confusion, so yay for me! my strategy was to use different bottles para wala sya makasanayan, and lahat ng teats e yung slowest flow lang. And minimal lang din sa use ng bottles. Hanggat kaya ko na direct, direct kami.

At first medyo hirap kasi ayaw ni baby, one time i was out from 10am-4pm and baby only drank about 3oz of pumped breastmilk. Nung pinalatch pagkauwi ko, grabe gutom na gutom. But eventually um-ok naman sya.

Anong alternative with the Pigeon Peristaltic Nipples? Every 2 weeks I need to change my lo nipples medyo mahalya din kasi Php 550 for 2 nipples baka may alternative or the pigeon wide neck bottles

[belle_v2g]

I tried several bottles with my eldest, first enfant, then pigeon, then avent.. Pinaka nagustuhan ko is avent. For this pregnancy, since ayoko ng magtry ng ibang bottles, i got the Avent Natural Bottle Solutions Set, coz it works well for mixed feeding. The set already contains the following:

4 in 1 Electric steam steriliser x 1
Naturals feeding bottle 125ml x 2 (newborn teats 0m+)
Naturals feeding bottle 260ml x 4 (slow flor teats 1m+)
Newborn silicone soother x 2
Bottle and Teat brush x 1
Electric bottle and baby food warmer x 1
Thermabag
Milk powder dispenser x 1
Day breast pads x 2
Night breast pads x 2

I bought this for $239 which is sulit narin. My breast pump is single electric din from avent, i bought it during a baby expo at $200.

Question sisses,kailangan ba palitan ang feeding bottle or tsupon once in a while?

[salvage_me]

how will you know its time to change teats na from slow to medium flow?

[keejac21]

my rule before was to change nipples when they have lost their natural luster or have become a bit yellowish caused by frequent washing.

plus of course when we had to change because of the flow type as baby grows. 

[belle_v2g]

how will you know its time to change teats na from slow to medium flow?

depending on the age of the baby too. like with avent teats, it is already specified in the packaging.

[gwyne21]

^ yes depende sa age ni baby. we also use avent and they recommend specific teats per baby's age

Buhayin ko yung thread... Natry ko ng brands ay Avent natural at classic, Dr. Brown slim, Pigeon wide neck peristaltic.  Eto reviews ko.

Yung Avent natural hindi ko gusto kasi lagi na lang may leak sa rim. Yung classic wala ako prob sa leaking sa rim.  Mas madali sya isara kaya mas gusto ko ang classic.  Ang prob lang mas madami natural bottles ko kesa sa classic.  Yung teats ang problem sa #1 size which is the smallest  sobrang leak at parang nalulunod pa rin si baby ko both natural at classic. 

Dr. Brown ok sana kaso ang toxic nung additional part nya for anti colic. Kelangan syempre sterile yung kamay mo pag ni-lift mo yun to put the milk.  Hindi ko natry yung wide neck but I think better yun kesa sa slim kasi sa slim hirap din ilagay milk dahil ang narrow ng opening. Pwedeng may matapon na milk powder.

Yung pigeon peristaltic wide neck so far so good.  Sya the best for me. Walang leakage sa rim at konti lang leak sa sides ng mouth ng baby namin.  Para hindi masayang ang Avent classic bottles ko, bumili ako ng teats ng pigeon at nilagay don since fit sya. 

[msals2007]

Agree with the Avent Natural, lagi ngang may leak sa side. Akala ko kasi hindi ko lang naayos ang rim, pero kahit anong gawin ko, laging may leak. Kaya sandali ko lang nagamit yun. Hinayang na hinayang ako kasi nga mahal. First time ko bumili ng Avent. Pigeon wide neck ang ginagamit ngayon ng baby ko and very satisfied naman, no leak at all.

[fionaapple]

we use Pigeon Peristaltic Plus wideneck bottles and teats. until now, turning 9 months na ang baby ko, pero 4 na bottles lang kami. bottlefeeding kasi kami while at work. direct latch when i am at home.

yung 4 bottles na yun, nabili ko ng 360 each sa Grand Baby Fair nung Jan. 2015. malaking discount compared sa regular price na 549.75 each.

naka 3 palit na rin ako ng teats. una SS (0+), then M (3m+). nitong 8 months ang baby ko, napansin ko humina consumption nya, tinry ko palitan to L (6m+) at naging ok na siya ulit sa bottlefeeding. mahal nga lang ang teats. 549.75 yung 2 pieces. pero ok lang kasi 4 bottles lang naman. swerte ko kasi di na kami napabili pa ng ibang bottles.

pag di na siya gumagamit ng bottles, tabi ko lang, para yun ulit gamitin ng anak ko. palit na lang ng teats.

[hushush]

^Avent user din ang panganay nuon pero nun pinanganak ko bunso ko ayaw nya yun teats ng avent kasi matigas. Nagustuhan nya yun Pigeon Peristaltic wideneck. Then dahil mahal ang teats naghanap ako ng pede pamalit na mura at accepted ng pihikan kong anak. Babyflo ata ang brand nun..P79 ang 2pcs.palagi ako may stock nuon dahil palaging kinakagat ang teats kaya lagi nasisira..@age of 3 ayun naawat ko na din.itinago ko yun mga bote at napilitan uminom sa baso hehe..

hi sis. magkaka ngipin pa lang ang baby ko. hanapin ko nga itong Babyflo kapag nangangagat na ng teats.

[prettylove]

Torn between pigeon, avent and tommee tippee? Ano kaya ang mas ok sa tatlo?

[ficklemind]

my baby is just 6 weeks old, mix feeding but kahit sa BM bottle gamit namin.

nalulunod baby  ko sa avent naturals 😔 grabe din ang leak basang basa yung bib/lampin akala ko sa umpisa lang eh pero up to now ganun pa din. yung pinakaslow na nga gamit namin (1 hole) ang dami pa naman niyang bottles ng 4oz,  dami din 9oz for later use.
pinagtitiyagaan na lang din kasi sayang, palit damit na lang.

meron din siyang pigeon peristaltic wideneck, nagleleak din nung una pero ok na ngayon.

we have 2oz bottles , para sakto for newborn,  farlin nabili namin then we replace with babyflo teats, mabilis din kasi yung flow ng teat ng farlin so pinapalitan namin ng babyflo, eto  pinakaOk sa lahat eh walang leak tska mas gusto ni MIL, nasstress din siya sa leaking nung avent kaya pag pinapaalagaan namin sa kanya  farlin lang.
pero ngayon bitin na si 2oz, 2 bote para mabusog.
for BM eto gamit namin para no leak, walang sayang.

just bought yung pigeon peristaltic slim neck 4oz, so far ok, eto na ireplace ko dun sa mga farlin while maliit pa si baby

ok naman si baby kahit iba2x bote niya, hinde pihikan.

hopefully when baby is 3 to 4 months ok na sa kanya si avent sayang kasi ang dami kong nabili before pa manganak at  gifts din nung binyag niya.

tempted to buy tommee tippee, kontra lang si hubby kasi ang dami na.

[yn061515]

madami na din nagamit na feeding bottle brands si baby 'ko, iniiba ko pag nagluluma na tsaka pag feel 'ko bumili ng bago hehe!

New Born: Fischer Price NB
1M -12M: Avent, Dr. Brown and Mothercare
12M - 18M: Avent and Pigeon
19M to present: Pigeon and Farlyn at isang Avent nalang

So far hindi naman naging pihikan si Y sa dede, basta may laman go sya!
We use 10 feeding bottles kasi Y has to go to daycare and she brings 6 bottles with her, tapos the rest mula pagkauwi nya hanggang matulog then we'll wash again. Yung pinaka matrabaho hugasan before is yung Dr. Brown pero lakas maka sosyal ng bottles nayun, haha!

[prettylove]

Parang mas ok ang pigeon na bottle based sa mga nababasa. Thanks mga sis. Nghihinayang din kasi ako bumili tapos baka di rin magamit dahil di gusto ni lo or mag leak.

[najine]

LO is using Dr. Browns wide neck and so far so good. I really recommend this kahit mas maraming part nililinis compare sa iba dahil sa air vent. very worth it naman. will try Tommee pag dating ng padala ni mother from abroad.

[prettylove]

I bought pigeon and avent na since eto mas madalas na recommendation ng mga mommies. 🤗🤗🤗

[dinagztm]

San nyo nabili yung Avent feeding bottles nyo? Bibili sana ako sa mall last week kaya lang nakita ko made in Indonesia sya, while yung nakikita ko naman sa internet ay made in England. Original din kaya yun?
