[[File:Bottle Feeding.jpg|300px|right]] I have bottlefed bottle fed both my children, for some it just feels right. Your health visitor and other medical staff will advise you on breast feeding as it is better for the baby and encourages weight loss in the mother.
It is completely your decision, you have to do what feels right for you and your baby. You may well have started out breast feeding, as I did, but then with a poor latching baby moved to bottle feeding. Perhaps it has been your decision to bottle feed from the start.

Have a good look around, there are many of different bottles that you can purchase these days. Speak to your friends and find out what they used and get some good recommendations before you purchase any. Also check that the teat is age appropriate. With my son we must of bought at least 4 different brands over the space of 4 months. Trying to find the right one for your child can be very expensive. All brands have different teat shapes and texture's, for my son who had problems with the sucking reflex muscle, we found that a flat shaped teat was best for him.
