Thread: "Using breast milk with a bottle"
Per our LC: The best nipple shape for mimicking baby’s latch are the kinds that go wide to narrow, not the ones that look breast like (such as como tomo). Examples: * Lansinoh Natural Wave (we use these, after trying every bottle brand- we use a slow flow Pigeon brand nipple with them), fit with the Phillip Avent glass bottles. * Evenflo Wide Neck * Dr. Brown’s (has glass bottle option) Wide Neck Okay at mimicking: * Phillip Avent Terrible at similar latch muscles: * Como tomo

Thread: "Bottle refusal and daycare"
I’m so sorry😢 some people in my moms group said their LC recommended Lansinoh bottle with a Pigeon nipple. Also maybe a syringe if daycare is willing to do it- I have a 20 ml one and if you can get them to suck on a finger or paci then get a couple ounces in with the syringe. I’d also start trying straw cups, sippy cups, open cups, etc. I’m not sure if this is recommended or not, but if there’s anyway you could swing by during your lunch for a feed, and a feed in the parking lot before you take her in I’d probably do that as well.
The Pigeon and Lansinoh nipples are interchangeable with one another. I have used both. I haven’t had my Pigeon bottles tested for lead. I did buy glass Maymom bottles and collars to use with Pigeon nipples, and I requested their lead testing report. They sent me all of their testing results. Of course, Maymom could have sent me whatever they want, but hopefully it was legitimate. I also swabbed them at home but I know that’s not as reliable.
Lansinoh is notorious for having a faster flow than most other nipples on the market. I would opt for pigeon nipples instead. They fit the same as Lansinoh but have a much slower flow rate. I will also second the recommendation for Evenflo. That’s what we use and it’s the only bottle LO will take.

Thread: "Phillips Avent vs Dr Brown"
Yes! That was us with our 1 month old. Philips Avent nipple's hole needs to be aligned with the notch on the ring for it to work properly. Our baby was getting tired after sucking on the nipple for hours and not getting anything as the notch trick is a hit or miss. Finally started using pigeon nipple (3+ months)with avent bottle and works fine for her now! #touchwood

Thread: "Compatible Baby Bottle Cap Rings and Nipples"
You might be able to find a pump adapter to make it work, it'd be a bit of a franken-bottle but I'm about to test it with a different combo, I'm trying to use pigeon nipples with the boon silicone bottle. I found an adapter that adapts avent to boon and a nipple ring that works for pigeon nipples on an avent bottle. So if my logic works pigeon nipple goes into the ring that attaches the avent side of the adapter, then the boon side attaches to the boon bottle. You can probably find an avent-nanobebe adapter and use the same ring so that it would be pigeon/lansinoh nipple going into the avent compatible ring, avent to nanobebe adapter, nanobebe bottle.

Thread: "Lansinoh, Pigeon, Evenflo?? What bottles are you using?"
For preserving breastfeeding LCs advise only pigeon, Lansinoh or Evenflo nipples
I already had glass avent bottles which are compatible with pigeon (though I've had many issues with the nipple popping out or leaking). Glass pigeon and Lansinoh (same manufacturer) have lead paint.
If you want to try silicone (I like for on the go /diaper bag) pigeon nipples are compatible with nanobebe bottles
Evenflos are impossible to find (the right kind for bfing)

Thread: "glass baby bottles vs plastic or silicone?"
Seconding this! My daycare won’t do glass bottles so these were perfect. My daughter conveniently only accepted this brand for pacifiers and bottles.

Tried those too! She latched initially and sucked even and then never again. 😭

Thread: "Bottle dilemma"
Pigeon nipples work with Chicco Duos, although I just saw someone say the Chiccos are out of stock everywhere right now. If you're willing to spend the money, they also fit Pura Kiki stainless steel bottles, although it's a bit of a tight fit, so you'd want to make sure they were still venting ok. I'd probably get the Pigeon plastic bottles for the short term and just do your best to avoid overheating them, and then get the Chiccos once they're back in stock. Or get the Puras, I guess. We use ours with the straw lid for water now, so they grow with your baby, if that helps you get past the price.
