Choosing the right bottle for breastfed babies

If you decide to introduce a bottle to an exclusively breastfed infant, the type of bottle can make a significant difference in acceptance. Look for brands that offer wide-based nipples or those specifically designed to mimic the breast, as these are often preferred by babies who are accustomed to nursing. Always opt for an extra-slow flow nipple to ensure the flow closely matches the breast, and try to offer the bottle consistently—even if only once every day or two—to help the baby stay familiar with the technique.
