Breastfeeding is, without any doubts, good for baby’s health but there might be some circumstances (for example, when you have to take certain medicine incompatible with breastfeeding) when breastfeeding has to be stopped for some time. In this case, it would be great if you have several baby bottles at your disposal.
You may also want to have a night out with your girls and leave the baby to the daddy or give a chance to other members of the family to help you with the feeding and get a more profound connection with the little one.
For these reasons (and, I’m sure, you’ll find some others, too) it would be great to have some pumped and stored breast milk ready for different occasions when you can’t exclusively nurse your baby.
Just like their parents, babies can be very choosy, therefore there is a big selection of bottles perfect for breastfed babies for you below. At least, one of these bottles will definitely suit the high demands of your little one.
