I started Ilyaas with bottle feeding when he is about 3-4 weeks old. I trained him slowly by the help of my husband and my mum, plus my dad and my little brother too. (See, it needs help from lots of parties). I firstly used Medela Bottle and Teat size S to bottle feed him. Alhamdulillah, he can drink the EBM from that bottle. Then, around 5-6weeks old, I stopped a while and continue direct feeding him. Once I started bottle feed him again, he become confused. So, I tried using MAM Bottle and Teat No 1. He can corporate now.

As he grows, the teat needs to be change. And following the guidelines from most bottles' product website, they recommend us to change the teat accordingly to the baby's age. Like teat No 1 is for 0-3months, teat No 2 for 3-6 months, and so on.However, in ensuring Ilyaas can cope well between bottle feeding during the day and direct feeding during the nights and weekend, I did not change his teat from No 1 to No 2.Means that. he is still using the slow flow teat even he is growing big. Why I did like that? It's because in common sense, our milk flow from the breast will still be the same nonetheless how old is our baby. Their sucking might be stronger when they grow bigger, but the milk flow is just the same. Bukannya makin laju, like when we are changing to teat no 2 from no 1, the flow will be faster.
And Alhamdulillah sampai skrg Ilyaas can tolerate that he needs to drink the milk from bottles during the day, and direct feeding from his Umi during night and weekends/off days. But I still facing a problem of me bottle feed him by myself....He will always make lots of reasons (by crying out loud) if I want to bottle feed him, especially when we are out in public(when I can't find baby room/nursery room in the shopping complex). Anybody have suggestion for this?
Tommee tippee 3+ is what i use and nvr change since then. Yeap, die macam tau je ade yg lagi sedap dr botol tu (miss B ehehe). Rasenye, memang camtulah sampai die besar sikit dan faham ckp kite. Maybe, boleh minta tolong husband yg suapkan...
