If you are planning to introduce a bottle to your baby, it is generally recommended to wait until they are at least 1 week old. This gives your baby time to adapt to breastfeeding and to establish a good nursing routine. If you introduce a bottle too early, it can interfere with breastfeeding and cause your baby to become confused about how to nurse.
No, you cannot overfeed a newborn. Babies are born with a natural instinct to suck and swallow, so they will only take in as much milk as they need.
It's not necessary to pump every time baby gets a bottle, but pumping can help maintain your milk supply. If you're away from baby and can't pump as often as baby is eating, try to pump at least every 8 hours.
When choosing a baby bottle, it is important to consider the age of your baby, your baby’s feeding habits, and your own personal preferences. For newborns, it is important to choose a bottle that is specifically designed for newborns. These bottles typically have a slow flow nipple, which is important for preventing your baby from choking. If you are unsure about which bottle to choose, it is always a good idea to consult with your pediatrician.

Since birth, our 6-week-old has typically had one bottle feed at night (to bond with Daddy and preparation for when I leave for work). Then, she abruptly changed from accepting any bottle (including Dr. Brown's and Philip Avent Natural) to absolutely rejecting it. As a result, we tried a number of different bottles to see if any of them would work. The Lansinoh came out on top for our little one in the end.Dr. Brown's: Our friends greatly recommended this bottle, and it initially worked for feeding. The only downside was that there were numerous pieces to clean. Then, when our child rejected it, she briefly took the bottle container with a Similac single-use nipple (for 1-2 days), but she kept experiencing gas (she is not anti-colic), so she eventually refused it totally.Avent Natural: We received a sample of this bottle and nipple from a baby fair. It suited its purpose and was quite simple to clean. It has a firmer tip, so when our little one started refusing it, we thought we needed to locate a nipple that was gentler.Kiinde: We received this as a complimentary trial and on the advice of a friend whose child also went through a bottle-refusal phase. Our infant would take one ounce before crying and rejecting milk. This "bottle" uses bags to feed, is simple to pump and store, and ideally keeps contaminants out (came with universal pump adapters). Too bad the nipple on this one didn't appeal to our infant.After touching many nipples and measuring nipple tip lengths, we concluded that the Munchkin Latch and the Playtex AirVent were softer, shorter nipples that still allowed for stretching. We got them at BabiesRUs. It was simple to clean these bottles. I would inspect the bottom of the bottle before buying the Munchkin Latch because the first one we received had a plastic piece at the bottom anti-colic device that was ripped (which may be the cause of leaks in some of its reviews). The Playtex AirVent bottle was nicely angled to aid in feeding. Once more, our infant drank only 1 ounce each from the two bottles before crying and rejecting them.After reading the reviews on numerous bottles on Amazon, we chose to try Lansinoh Natural Wave since the nipple is soft and would expand naturally like a breast nipple. Our tiny one accepted this bottle right away and eventually drank more than 1 ounce of it. This bottle is simple to clean and only has 4 pieces. The Size 3 nipples (medium flow) in the 8 oz bottles may flow a little too quickly for a baby who is used to breastfeeding (which I assume is slow flow). Our young one has been doing OK ever since we purchased these 8 oz bottles and the Size 2 nipples (slow flow; there is no Size 1), thank heavens.

After experimenting with a variety of baby bottles from various manufacturers and categories, this one is by far the best. In conclusion, they offer the unique quality of being both vented AND simple to clean. Let me elaborate.We have been exclusively using bottles to feed our baby (with breast milk that has been pumped) due to some difficulties with nursing, so we have had lots of chances to experiment with different bottles! Our initial choice of non-venting bottles proved to be a costly error. When our baby was a few weeks old, she had a suck that was so powerful that when she drank, it would eventually force the nipple to collapse by creating a vacuum inside the bottle. We had to gently tug the nipple to one side of her mouth several times during each feeding to break the seal and allow the nipple to reexpand. She was obviously not pleased with frequent interruptions throughout her meal.We then tried a popular brand of vented bottles, which vent through a little tube that runs straight down the middle of the bottle. These bottles featured four independent parts, two of which had tiny internal tubes, yet they were able to overcome the suction issue. It was difficult to say the least to clean all these tiny pieces, and the idea of having to do it several times a day made me feel hopeless in a way that I was unable to overcome. A vented bottle that was easier to clean has to exist!Let's get to the Comotomo bottle (accompanied by rays of sunshine and a renewed sense of hope). This was the solution! Why is this bottle so fantastic?1. The bottle only consists of THREE pieces: the bottle itself, a nipple, and a plastic ring that fastens the nipple to the bottle. The bottle is simply vented via two tiny "valves" on the sides of the nipple. No tiny pieces to misplace!2. These are VERY simple to clean thanks to their wide-mouth shape and lack of microscopic tubes.3. The bottle is easy to handle because to the gently textured silicone body's non-slip property.4. They are waterproof (at least, WE have never had a problem with them leaking)5. They have a hip, contemporary design (this is purely a question of taste and opinion, but yet...There is only one "negative" I can think of with these bottles, and it's more of a shape-related characteristic than a true flaw. The remaining amount of liquid will pool at the top side of the bottle rather than going into the nipple if the bottle is held at a 45-degree angle or so as the contents are drank (see my photo). Although it won't cause much of a problem—you only need to momentarily tilt the bottle more upright—you should keep an eye on it when the bottle gets close to being emptied.Oh, and these bottles DO have volume marks on them, despite what can be seen in the product photos. Despite being subtle, they are nonetheless simple to read.Our satisfaction with these bottles is HIGH.

It has been a few months, and my kid is still only willing to drink from this bottle. Although I still find it mainly satisfactory, I do have a complaint. We were ready to switch her to a quicker flow after approximately 6 weeks of using this bottle because it was obvious that she was growing frustrated or bored with the 15-20 minute wait to finish a 7 oz bottle. The Stage 2 nipple is MUCH faster than the Stage 1 nipple, though. It increases from 3 to 6, which is obviously too much when you stop to think about it. For a baby, going twice as fast is too much of a change. So, depending on how exhausted she was, we had to switch between Stages 1 and 2 for a week or two. She was able to keep up with Stage 2 when she was awake and active. We would go back to Stage 1 because, when she was drowsy, she would choke on Stage 2 and dribble everywhere. She has only been on Stage 2 for a month with no significant problems since we started making the transfer. Although there is a little more dribble because she still can't keep up with it, she only needs 5 minutes to finish an 8 oz bottle. To facilitate the transition, NUK should add an intermediate nipple (perhaps with 4 or 5 holes). Although I still adore and recommend this bottle, it annoys me that it has a problem that seems to be simply fixable or avoidable and that you would think would have been discovered during R

These containers are fantastic!When I was pregnant, I purchased two sets of these bottles in addition to two sets of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JU5W3PQ/ref=sspa dk detail 0?psc=1 . They are excellent, and I would unquestionably buy them again and suggest them to others.Working GREAT is a pro. They operate perfectly! They have not leaked or broken down while I've owned them.- Bright colors! The vibrant colors are so much fun and make bottle washing a little less monotonous.– Simple to clean! All the parts are simple to clean; I can even insert my hand into the bottle while holding a sponge, negating the need for a bottle brush.Just 4 pieces! When you have to clean countless bottles, this is a BIG DEAL! Cleaning a broken-up bottle is not anyone's favorite task.Excellent value! These bottles are a terrific price!- Wide mouth makes it simple to pour breast milk inside! The large opening also makes adding powder to bottles for babies who are formula fed a snap!Cons: - The nipples occasionally collapsed when I initially started using them seven months ago, but it only happened a few times and has not happened since. I am not really sure why it happened, but it wasn't a major deal.- Numerals can transfer. My bottles' numbers have started to peel off in spots. I'm not sure what caused it, but I believe it was due to the few times I washed it with an abrasive sponge. Even then, the numbers are only partially rubbed off on only 3 out of 18 of my bottles, making it impossible to read them completely.Although they are dishwasher safe, be aware that when you put these in the dishwasher, they will become frozen. I did this when I first bought them. Particularly the nipples will appear disgusting and aged. I made the decision to switch to hand cleaning them after a few weeks of running them through the dishwasher. I first soak them in a sinkful of hot water that has been diluted with dish soap and vinegar. Any bad odor that the bottle may have had from remaining milk is eliminated by the vinegar. They always come out looking brand new with perfectly clear nipples after a thorough soak in dish soap and a sponge.If you're debating whether to purchase these bottles, just do it! You won't be sorry; they are amazing!

These are perfect, and I just bought them a month ago! I pump 16 to 20 ounces. each 6 to 8 hours. With the 5 oz. bottles, I would have to stop pumping in order to either buy another pair or store what I had already pumped in order to continue. First 10 ounces of milk were foremilk, and second 10 ounces were hindmilk. Obtaining a quality milk combination proved challenging. These bottles enable me to complete a full pumping session and combine the milk. I used the offered nipples for one feeding and didn't care for them. When my son would breathe, a lot of air bubbles would enter the bottle and it would appear like he had taken in too much air. With Playtex bottles, we always use the drop liners, so there is never a problem with air. I was more interested in the bottle size than the nipple attachment, and I'm glad I did. The dark numbering is an additional advantage. It is quite simple to see. Although the numbering is part of the bottle and challenging to read, I purchased another pair of 8 oz bottles that included 6. Still five stars for convenience.

My two-month-old kid and I both adore Dr. Brown's bottles! I regret not buying these sooner. Although I pump so my husband may occasionally give my son a bottle to give me a break, my son is almost exclusively breastfed. Unfortunately, my son suffers colic and gets quite gassy. We first tried the Lansinoh bottles, which we loved a little bit more than the Avent natural bottles. The Dr. Browns were suggested to us by our pediatrician, and we adore them. Our son is only burping at the end of each feeding and is significantly less gassy (rather than needing burped multiple times during a feeding with the other bottles). There are a few more pieces than standard bottles (which many reviews have criticized), but, really, people, these are still simple bottles, so how lazy can you be to gripe about 2 extra pieces if they help your child feel better?

Baby bottles are only good for a certain amount of time before they need to be replaced. The average lifespan of a baby bottle is about three to six months. After that, they need to be replaced because the materials start to break down and become unsafe.
Babies typically use 4 oz bottles until they are around 4 months old. After that, they will usually move on to 8 oz bottles.
A newborn should sleep for about 15 to 18 hours in a 24-hour period. This includes both nighttime sleep and naps during the day. A newborn should be feed every 2 to 3 hours, or 8 to 12 times in a 24-hour period.
A newborn baby will need around 8 to 12 bottles per day, depending on how much they are eating. It is best to have at least 2 to 3 bottles prepared in advance so that you can have them ready when you need them.
It is important to sterilize baby bottles after each use to protect your baby from infection. You can sterilize bottles by boiling them for five minutes or using a cold water sterilizing solution.
You should change baby bottles every few weeks to avoid bacteria build-up. You may need to change them more often if your baby is sick or has a compromised immune system.
