Was wondering...do you reckon it takes any bottles? and if it doesnt, i remember on TV a while back saying something about babies bottles releasing a chemical....how do i know if the Lindam bottles are safe? |

| What do you 'for when the baby is on formula'? You're not planning to do 50/50 with breastfeeding and formula are you?
+ That looks good to me. It has won lots of awards which is always a good sign  |

To be honest I dont think I will breastfeed for very long maybe a week or two at most so the baby will be on formula milk....
Im really rubbish when its comes to bottles - which ones are best and now i just found a bottle warmer from avent so i dont know now... |

You never know you might really enjoy it  I know a lot of women who were really upset at having to stop breastfeeding. Is this your first LO? Atleast you're going to try  I never understand people who don't go into things with an open mind  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I had breast implants three years ago and one of my nipples is really sensitive and painful when touched even by me or my OH, the other is painful but not half as bad so Im going to try and breastfeed with the good one first (and also try and see if the breast pump is any easier which i will still need bottles for)....if it all goes welll then great. I would like to as its best for baby and me but to be honest i dont hold out much hope as they REALLY hurt when touched or even slightly pulled but i will definately give it a try though...you never know...!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | The chemical is called Bisphenol-A(BPA). It's usually found in canned items but can also be found in plastic bottles. So when buying baby bottles look for BPA Free or buy glass ones. |

Everyone is different, you have to do what works for you. |

If you're supplementing breastfeeds with formula you won't produce as much milk and it won't satisfy the baby cos the baby isn't regularly stimulating milk production. I don't see why you'd need both anyway :s Just express your breast milk into bottles if you want OH or whatever to feed the baby. |
