When looking for bottles that promote optimal feeding and proper latch you want to pay attention to the NIPPLE and if it’s going to encourage a deep tissue-like latch vs a shallow nipple-only latch. Don’t be fooled by all the “breast-like” baby bottle marketing tactics out there.
❌Avoid: nipples with a wide neck and short nipple
✅Look for: nipples with a gradual slope
A few optimal bottles/nipples: EvenFlo Balance+, Pigeon SS, Lansinoh Momma
As mentioned in the video below the Evenflo Balance+ WIDE NECK nipple works with the following bottles: Philips Avent, Nanobebe, Spectra, Nuk, Maymom, Avima, Parents Choice, Baby Buddah. There may be more, but these are the ones I know of.
You can purchase the EvenFlo nipples alone at lactationhub.com.
And, as always, I recommend opting for glass bottles to minimize microplastic exposure.
