Thread: "Can anyone recommend a bottle their babies like?"
My daughter went through a bottle refusal stage for almost 2 months and we finally found that the spectra bottles that came with my pump worked best for her. We then moved onto the lansinoh bottles since they have the same nipples and we needed a faster flow. I must have spent hundreds of dollars buying every bottle and nipple out there. Sometimes it’s just trial and error. She gagged and chewed on everything else we tried but luckily we found something that worked!
