Because it was such an ordeal to find a bottle that Jax would take, I feel like I should share what finally worked for us in case you are dealing with the same issue. As you can see we tried 7 different bottles (everything from Dr. Browns to Medela) before we found a winner - the MAM bottles. I had never even heard of them until a lactation consultant at Baptist Hospital told me about them and said they were great for breastfed babies.

Literally the weekend before Jax started daycare, he finally took 3 ounces from a bottle and the rest is history. These bottles have quite a few parts, but are very easy to clean and they have a vented base to prevent colic (just make sure you screw them on tightly so they don’t leak). If you’re in the market for bottles, you should definitely give these a try!
