The great thing about bottle feeding is that it can compliment whatever feeding journey you are on. Whether it’s for your little one to bond with family and friends while you still nurse, bottle fed all the time, or even during those as needed situations these are some of the must-have bottle feeding essentials that you need.
7 bottle feeding essentials that were on my must have list
Bottles & Nipples – The Philips Avent Natural Bottles are available starting in 2oz, and go up to 9oz bottles sizes. BPA free, and easy to hold these bottles are also available in glass. There are also a few different nipple flows available depending on the flow that your little one needs.
Formula or milk – From breastfeeding to formula, whatever you choose make sure you have some backup breast milk pumped or your formula on hand. This is especially important if you’re taking some much needed time to yourself and someone else is watching your little one.
Formula Dispenser – If you’re using formula being at home it’s easy to measure it whenever you need it but when you’re out and about its another story. Having the formula measured for you just makes getting your little one fed that much quicker.
Burp Cloths – While I don’t have to burp Finn anymore, he was the one who spit up the most. Spit up happens and sometimes it’s a little and sometimes it’s more…way more. Having something on hand to help take care of that with that a lifesaver.
Nursing pillow – This is one of those items that sits on the top of my must have list! Made to use when nursing or when your little one is having their bottle I still use mine for those moments when Finn is feeling cuddly while he is having his bottle or when he wants to chill.
Bottle warmer – This became especially useful for us camping with Finn in the middle of the night, but it was a lifesaver with all of the kids. Specifically, during those night time feeds where Kris was on duty.
Apps – From banking to keeping track of what I eat during the day it all happens via apps on my phone. There are several apps available like the UGrow Baby Development Tracker from Philips Avent which you can use during your pregnancy and track your little one’s growth and eating schedule after they’re born!
