October 16, 2005 (1 Day Old)Due to Wyatt's Pierre Robin Sequence, his lower jaw was too small to allow him to breastfeed. We used a special soft sided bottle to squeeze the colostrum into his mouth, along with a long cleft palate nipple. He ate the whole ounce!
After experimenting with different bottles and nipples, we found the best fit for Wyatt was a mini Haberman Feeder.
I pump breastmilk for the bottles using an electric pump. I highly reccomend Medela products and found a great deal for a total pump/bottle/cooler package at OneStepAhead. Madela makes the Haberman and their regular bottles fit the nipple.
