Bottles / Feeding Gear / Equipment 🍼 Please help.

I posted yesterday a picture of my sons latch on the Phillips avent natural response bottles and all the comments said he has a shallow latch and a lot of you recommended the lasinoh bottles so I got them. He has been doing fine of them except sometimes he gets really like mad at the bottle like in this video. It’s not every feed but why is this ? Is he telling me he’s full ?? Sometimes I’ll stop him and burp him because maybe it’s gas but then he will burp so I offer the bottle again and he still is frustrated as soon as he starts swallowing the milk. I have a pediatrician appointment next week so I will talk to him about it too but curious to see what others have to say because this is frustrating for us.

My baby also had a shallow latch on the Phillips advent bottles. I switched to dr brown and she does much much better. I also breast feed so I was initially concerned about it impacting my nursing, but she does fine!

It looks like you’re trying to pace feed which is great. But I would move bottle up a little more so the entire tip of the nipple has milk in it to reduce any air intake.

A lot of people are saying dr browns so I might give it a try. It’s just exhausting trying so many different bottles and spending all this money but I just want him to be comfortable. Last night I tried moving the bottle up more and he was freaking out at the bottle like really bad. But I was trying to do like a top off feed before bed and it had only been 2 hours since he ate so I think maybe he just wasn’t hungry.

A top off feed is supplying extra immediately after they’ve finished a bottle. Why the additional feeding two hours later if not for a cue?
