Bottle Dilemma

I have not yet found the perfect baby bottle for Amir. Sigh. I am a breastfeeding momma but Amir still needs to be bottle fed at some points especially when someone else babysits him. We have tried to change bottle teat but Amir has never shown the slightest interest in any sort of the teats. Yang peliknya, Amir was fine with bottle feed earlier. Masa dah dekat nak masuk kerja, konon-kononya dah train him to drink milk from the bottle. I’ve not had a bit of trouble getting him to take it. But when he turned 2 months; he hates them all and won’t take anymore than a couple ounces from one! Uwaaaa.. My babysitter has to feed him using syringe then.

When I talk to some experienced mommas, well ya they have plenty of solutions;

- We currently using Avent bottle, some of friends told us to change the teat. So we looked for teat that claims to be similar to nipple. Kitaorang dah tried pigeon peristaltic, NUK, First Year’s breastflow bottle and latest is MAM – yang ini dia claim easy to switch between Mum and MAM. Ha amek ko die punya tagline. Tapi still Amir tak mahu minum from bottle like he used to 4 months ago. Kami ni punyalah risau anak kurang minum susu.

- When we share out situation with paed, he suggested trying Soya milk. Berlolah (berkejar) omak dan abah Amir poie boli susu Soya. Tapi Amir tak mahu jugak, siap naik rashes sikit bila minum susu soya tu.


Logiknya bila baby ada masalah minum susu dari botol ni, mungkin disebabkan 1) puting botol tak sama macam ibu atau 2) rasa susu tak sama macam susu ibu. Untuk masalah pertama, itulah yang keep changing teat tu. Yang masalah kedua tu, memang kami ni taruk susu ibu lah dalam botol, dia tak mahu jugak. Samada EBM yang dipanaskan semula atau fresh EBM.

Maka memang kami still in trouble nak feed him using bottle ni. So macamane Amir survive dari kelaparan so far? Itulah yang kami feed him with solid food earlier than 6 months, it helps Amir daripada lapar or windy. Bila afterwork or weekend, I direct bf him.

Alhamdulillah, bab bagi dia makan memang senang. Sekarang siap dah pandai nganga awal-awal and bising kalau kita suap lambat.

Tapi, bak kata paed Amir still needs to drink milk. Inilah yang kami masih tercari-cari solution camane nak bagi dia minum susu banyak kalau emak pergi kerja.

Yesterday my bestie ada mention pasal botol brand Mimijumi. Not so sure ada jual kat sini atau tak, she bought from US. Since dia ada dua botol so she’s very kind nak hadiahkan Amir satu. I really hope Amir nak minum dari bottle thereafter. Nama botolnya 'Very Hungry' LOL.

My sis-in-law kate she guna Tommee Tippee, pun Okay. Not yet try yang ini, well actually yesterday teringat nak try sekali my friend told us about Mimijumi and nak bagi hadiah kat Amir satu. So cancel try Tommee Tippee.

Ada ke solutions lain yang kami boleh try lagi?
