The First Years Breastflow Technology Bottles

With the numerous varieties of bottles on the market it can be extremely confusing and time consuming trying to figure out which brand and type of bottle to get.

I spent countless hours on the internet reading and looking at reviews of so many bottles I lost count.

Then I stumbled upon the Breastflow Technology bottles by The First Years. I planned on breastfeeding but wanted to be able to let my husband and others help in feeding my daughter occasionally (as well as be able to take a break every once in a while!!) but didn't want to get a bottle that would interfere with her nursing.

The Breastflow bottles are very different from all others, and in my opinion extremely superior as well. They have a two nipple system that mimics breastfeeding so that the baby has to not only suck, but compress the nipples to get the milk. Other bottles require a lot less effort and I have seen several of my friends babies end up refusing the breast in favor of the "easier" bottle.

When my daughter was born, she ended up with a neck strain and it hurt her to nurse. At first we used a syringe to get her to eat but feedings were taking so long that way. We got the Breastflow Technology bottles and they were an instant success. She was able to eat without crying and was able to get enough milk in each feeding that she wasn't constantly hungry and frustrated.

After several days of switching between the breast and bottle, her nursing actually improved and as her neck healed she was able to transition easily back to the breast full time.

I have recommended these bottles to all my friends, and several strangers too, and would recommend them above all the others. I was a nanny for several years and have used many different types of bottles with the babies I took care of. None have even come close to the Breastflow Technology bottles!!

For any mother who wants to maintain breastfeeding while still having the flexibility of letting others help out, these bottles are a must have!!
