In this guide, we shall discuss how to transition your baby from the breast to the Thyseed bottles which are among the best baby bottles for breastfed babies.
Choose a Breast-Like Bottle
The market contains a variety of bottles, but if the decision is to be taken on the use of a bottles for breastfed babies then it is desirable that the bottle resembles the mother’s breast in shape and texture as much as possible. It has graceful bottles that are specifically for babies who are fed from their mothers and is a soft silicone bottle in the shape of a breast. This is especially beneficial to your child if you are considering using the baby bottle since he or
she is already acquainted with it hence few cases of bottle refusal.
Introduce the Bottle Gradually
Another challenge that the baby faces while using a baby bottle is transitioning from breast milk feeding to using a baby bottle as feeding is no longer continuous and the change is sudden. But the Thyseed baby bottle should only be introduced gradually to the baby due to some discomfort it may cause at the beginning. Initially, start with a small amount of the expressed breastmilk in the bottle for the first feed, which can range between 5-10ml and then use the bottle to feed your baby once a day when they are not ravenous. Slowly as the baby adapts to the process of taking milk from the bottle, the number of feedings using the bottle and the amounts of food given to the baby can be gradually increased, and the times of breastfeeding can be reduced.
Practice Paced Bottle Feeding
Another technique is paced feeding that is used to feed the baby from the bottle in a manner that resembles breastfeeding. Thyseed soft
nipples dispense milk slowly to help your baby dictate when and how much he or she wants to feed by providing short pauses throughout the feeding process. To practice paced feeding:
- For better support, always hold your baby in an upright posture.
- Turn the bottle slightly so that the nipple is covered with milk
- Let your baby take the nipple of the bottle into their mouth.
- Allow your baby to take breaks or even stop feeding if they become overwhelmed
Be Patient and Consistent
Switching between breastfeeding and bottle feeding is not an easy thing it needs time, effort and determination. As any first-time parent knows, some babies will happily accept the bottle, and others may require a little persuasion. Never make the baby take the bottle if he or she refuses to do so. However, do not attempt to do this but try it the next time you need to feed your baby again. Always ensure you use the Thyseed baby bottle and that your
baby has the chance to use and become familiar with this new way of feeding.
