did anyone try the NUK bottles? with this little guy i dont think i will be breastfeeding and if i do it wont be for long. i need to get back to work asap (shooting for two weeks after he is born) i will try my best to breastfeed when around him and while im home with him at first but my job is not very "pumping friendly" they dont just give out breaks to go pump and some days i dont even get a break at all. i dont want to kill myself over trying to pump/BF.

ive looked around at a bunch of bottles and since raleigh was only ever breastfed we didnt use bottles. we tried a couple for when i pumped a few times away from her but she wouldnt take any except the drop ins and well that will get to be to expensive after awile. id rather just keep using the same bottles over and over again and keep washing them.

the NUK bottles say they are supposed to be like BFing so thats why i was wondering how well they really work if anyone has used them because if i do nurse/formula feed its supposed to be like mothers breast.

this is what they look like:

They are the kind of bottles that we used once we started BF. They were the only ones that Ben would take. I liked them a lot and they held up well.

I can't remember if Dylan used any of the Nuk bottles. We did the playtex drop ins for the first few months & then went to regular bottles, I know I mostly used the Gerber bottles like these: Walmart.com: Gerber - Premium 9oz Nurser Comfort Hold Bottle Set, 3-Pack: Feeding & also some Soothie bottles.

I used playtex drop-ins for both girls and will for this one too. I LOOOVE them! They are so easy to clean, you squeeze the air out so they cause less gas.

I loved the NUKs. We didn't use bottles often, but Tanith took them really well and since she preferred the NUK pacifiers the nipples matched.
