[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I scheduled a lactation consultant and an ent appointment for him. I wonder if a tongue tie is the reason he didn’t eat well on the breast for 5 days. My nipples are small and we had to use a nipple shield but he still falls asleep a lot.

And the most important, we feel very dumb because the Avent bottles are apparently supposed to line up. My husband looked it up and that’s what he said. I looked at reviews and many said that these bottles are very hard for their baby to eat from.

We did 6 feeds already following the 2.5 hour schedule and he sucked down 2oz. It still took a while but he was done in about 30 minutes. I’m really wondering if the bottle was making him so tired trying to eat from that he became more tired and couldn’t finish it. I personally didn’t like the comotomo bottles ( very hard to unscrew and get cap off) but the Dr.Browns did work. He took 2oz every feed. We did try the Avent bottles with the parts lined up, and he was better but still had a hard time eating. I noticed he had to really use all of his mouth and jaw muscles to eat with the Avent bottle. Now it’s easier and he isn’t trying as hard. [/quote]

The Avent bottles were HORRIBLE for my baby.  [/quote]
