When my second son was born I knew that I would try to breastfeed as I did with my first. With my first I breastfed him till he was 18 months old. And, to be honest with the second I'm not sure I want to go down that road again. It's so true when others tell you all babies are different! For myself, breastfeeding this time around was harder. My nipples were sore and cracked so at every feeding I was in pain. It was important for me to be able to pump and ensure my little one would take a bottle. With my first we had tried so many different brands of bottles before we found the right one. Right one as in a nipple that was the closest to the real thing. There was no tricking this baby! When I was given the opportunity to try out NUK's Simply Natural Feeding System I didn't hesitate.
The NUK Simply Natural Feeding System is designed to keep the mom and baby bond as natural as possible.
NUK Simply Natural Bottles; makes the transition from breast to bottle easy as to avoid nipple confusion. The nipple is shaped just like a nursing breast nipple and has multi holes to mimic the multi holes like the breast. Depending on flow and age of baby determines the bottle nipples; slow has three holes, medium has six holes and fast has nine holes. Available in two sizes; 5oz and 9oz.
The next item in the NUK Simply Natural Feeding System is the NUK Simply Natural Freemie Collection Cups. It's a hands-free pumping accessory which you add on to any breast pump (I use the Philips Avent Breast pump). Leak proof cups are placed in your bra and your able to continue doing your household activities as you please. For me this came in handy when I wanted to blog, sew, and do meal prep. Unlike, my first son I find I don't pump as often and I also don't have as much breast milk however I will try to continue as much as I can.
Any nursing mom won't leave their house without nursing pads. It's a must in any new mom's kit! The NUK Simply Natural Washable Nursing Pads are made of a soft jersey knit. They feel super soft and comfortable. I like that there's no waste as they're washable. They're absorbent but breathable!
Overall, I was really impressed with the NUK Natural Feeding System. My son loves the bottles and didn't reject the bottle nipple at all (which was a concern). I know with my first I bought so many different brands till I found the right one.
