Weeks before I went back to work, we've practiced giving Nolan a bottle here and then already. We've used the same Avent Natural bottles that Maddy used, with new nipples (but still 0+ level). For some reason, when I started working, he hardly touched his bottles! 3 days in, when I got home after a whole day at the office, I was informed he only drank 1.5 oz THE WHOLE DAY. WTF.
That same night Hanley and I went to Ayala so I can get my hands on these Pigeon Peristaltic Plus bottles/nipples that are supposedly also for breastfeeding babies transitioning to bottles.
Next day, he promptly downed 2/3 oz. So it's about the bottle nipples after all?
It's been a few days so far that we've been using these Pigeon nipples, and well he more or less consumes naman the bottles. He doesn't chug the entire contents down like I remember Maddy doing (sometimes kulang pa nga), but he finishes a 3oz bottle in installments over a span of 2-3 hours.
Did you know a brand new Pigeon Peristaltic bottle costs like 570 pesos! And a nipple is around 299! Cray cray expensive, especially since I need about 6-8 bottles on hand, since half are always in the fridge with the pumped milk.
So at least when I have a third kid, ayan may options na sya sa bottles. Sad lang hindi na ROI ang Avent!
