My Infant Must Have by Tommee Tippee
As a mom of four I have had many different infant/newborn products. Some have worked great – other’s not so much! Now the one thing I can tell you, is that although I have had four babies, each and everyone of my four babies were very different. Some of the things that worked for my first baby did not work for my other babies and vice versa. So it is easy to say “try this it really worked for me”, however we all know it is ALWAYS worth a try, but never a guarantee. Babies are unique and wonderfully made and all so very different.
My favorite thing about being a part of the “mom society” is the honestly, willingless and excitedness to help other momma’s (first time and not). No matter if you are a mom of 1 or a mom of 6 you are a MOM and with that you have had an experience worthy of sharing with other momma’s. You never know when that one thing that worked for you and your sweet babe will be exactly what that other mom needs.
Now let me share with you a product that I absolutely LOVED through the first several months with my newborn babies – Tommee Tippee bottles. I know it sounds simple, but it’s not! I feel like I have literally tried every brand of bottle out there and as a breastfeeding momma these bottles were the ONLY one’s my babies would take. You see I have always pumped milk at the beginning when my milk first comes in and I have an over abundance. I then freeze that milk and once my babies are well established in breastfeeding (using a 3-4 weeks) I use that milk when I need a little break. Maybe I need to run to the store with my other kids and my hubby will be home with the newborn for a few hours, or perhaps I get sick and just need to sleep a little extra and my husband wants to have some baby feeding time. No matter what the reason, I have always wanted to make sure my babies could still get my breast milk, and the biggest challenge has never been “getting” the milk, it’s always been finding the right bottle that my babies will actually be willing to eat from.
What I LOVE about the Tommee Tippee bottles and nipples is that they are designed to look, feel and fit their tiny mouths just like a mom’s breast. They do not cause nipple confusion as the nipples are seriously so similar to their mom’s and they even offer a super slow flow nipple to help the flow from the bottle be just as slow and constant as their natural mommies.
So if I were to tell you my one piece of advice, my “mommy must have” for a newborn baby, it would definitely be the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Bottles! If you are a new mommy (or soon to be) I would highly recommend picking up a few bottles and giving them a try. Like my mom told me…it never hurts to try! You never know what might just work for you!
