Best Bottle for a Breastfed Baby?

My baby is exclusively breastfed, but I’d like her to take a bottle so that my partner and I can go out once in while.  What bottle would be best for my otherwise breastfed baby? – Jayne M., Chicago

No bottle or nipple is the equivalent of mother’s breast.  There is no research to support any of the bottles recently developed to approximate the breastfeeding experience.  However, some nipples seem to be more effective for breastfeeding babies.

[Our doula], especially in those first few nights, was an amazing support. Her encouragement, knowledge of breastfeeding and baby care, and peaceful nurturing presence was so valuable.  Having her there so I could get some sleep was priceless.  I am a better mom because of her!!
