I found a nipple that works!!!!
Posted On 07/24/2008 23:37:23 by smalltownmom

Yeah! I'm so happy! After buying several bottles and trying many different nipples, I finally found one that my ds would take. Its made by Medela. I've been trying to get my ds to take a bottle for almost 3 months now. I has been very stressful to not be able to leave him at grandma's or a sitter (for date night ;) I know I asked numerous mom's what they used and the general response was, "I don't know, if you figure it out let me know!" So here I am. Maybe this will help a mom or two out there: Medela nipples! I say just the nipple because it is kinda expensive for just one bottle but I found out the nipples work in the gerber bottle set. Now ds takes one bottle in the evening just to make sure he is used to it.

P.S. for all those mom's who aren't getting any sleep; my ped dr. said that now that he takes a bottle to start giving him water at night instead of nursing and he will work himself off night feedings. I don't know if this works but I'll try it tonight!

thanks Smalltownmom for saving me some $$$.  I will purchase only the nipples and not the entire bottle.  Any specific flow?  or does it matter.
