Bottle teet

My boy has been refusing feeds cuz he’s ill. This is literally the only type of teet he will have a full bottle with, the hospital gave us a few but they’re disposable. Does anyone know anywhere that has bottles like this. Update: we have found something we think will work, thank you for the recommendations

Our baby now won’t drink any of h...

Bottles

My little boy has turned one and we can’t start the milk ladder again until May. He has 3 to 4 formula bottles a day - I’ve tried making one of them an Oat milk bottle but he won’t touch it he have a few sips but he’s not that keen on it. What milk did you try? How did you transition it? Any help welcome 🤗
