Breastflow or Tommee Tippee CTN for EBM?

cath · Oct 25th, 2009, 15:15 PM

I really want to BF but will hopefully be returning to work when LO is around 4 weeks old (not ideal but I'm self-employed so dont qualify for maternity pay) Its only for a couple of days a week initially so I'm hoping to be able to combine BF & expressing. Which will give me the best chance of combining the 2?

It depends on your milk flow and your baby... You might need to try both and maybe others too.
My LO only has an EBM bottle a couple of times a week. We used breastflow bottles at first and they were good, then he started to headbutt them and get really angry and refuse them, my midwife watched and said the flow seemed to slow for him as he has got used to my fast let down. We swapped to TT bottles a couple of weeks ago and he is much better with them.
