Can you feed the baby with a real baby bottle?

No, You can "pretend" but baby does not "drink" and "wet" like a baby alive doll would; if that's what you had in mind. There is no hole in the back of baby's mouth.

I don't see why not. I used to mix breastmilk for my first child -- back then, I just used 2 oz to 2oz in a 4 oz bottle. If you have enough to justify using the pitcher, sure you could. Currently, I mix 32 oz of formula in this pitcher for an entire day of bottles (4). It's used the same way as a bottle -- you measure the water first, then add the appropriate amount of powdered formula. The end result produces more milk than the amount you wanted due to the displacement of water by the powder. If I were mixing formula with breastmilk, i'd first mix the water and powder to make however much formual you want, then add the breastmilk and mix. I don't see why not.

doctors prefer not to feed baby cereal with bottles or sippers however you can use it whichever the way you want it has one slit on the nipple liquid comes out of it only if the baby press it with his gums well i dont think its a grrat idea to feed cereal with it rather try the boon silicon sqeezy spoon i love it i LO use make a lot of fuss while eating rice cereal but when i started feeding him with this spoon he can not say no to food... hope this helps!!

You can definitely do just that - it's a standard bottle so it connected to my pump (Medela). You can store it in the same bottle and use a standard neck and nipple to feed.

I started using it to feed my 5 month old baby. It is made out of milk cartons and if I remember correctly the box said that it could be used for actual feedings. As long as you wash it (I do it by hand) I do not see a problem with it.

No. You have to buy the nipples separately. I would just use my own bottles and pour the formula in.

I would not do that because you can not completely sterilize the bottles unless you soak them in hot water and a little bleach. Which i would not want to serve my Baby!

Hi Megan, we are using this system and it works great! We ate first time parents too. The bottle is very light weight and i am sure the baby could hold it easily. The shape is different than a regular bottle.

Yes, you can drink directly from the bottle. It's the simplest design, no tube or other things.

You don't necessarily need bottles...you can always purchase the Medela brand nipples (with the plastic holder) for feeding unless you prefer to use special bottles

Yes but I wouldnt count on it for more than an hour. It doesnt keep baby bottles cold without the ice pack I have for it. I bought my own. You are better off for warm ones to warm how ever many bottles worth and put into a good glass lined thermos. Then bring empty bottles and fill as needed.

Yes, bottle and nipple. The nipple was a little long for our 2 month old. He ended up getting use to a cheap nipple and bottle while we waited on his mouth to grow longer. I really wanted him to use it because it is most like a nipple and fits the pumping system...but baby rules and no go.

mix it in with pumped breastmilk or some water and give in a bottle or a dropper like the kind you use for baby tylenol, etc

I don't really know about ready to feed. I would think no. Doesn't seem like you could just leave warm formula sitting around all day. I know a made powder formula bottle is only good for an hour.

yes you can. Just make sure you close the cap tight on it. I have a bottle that I bought over a year ago and I just used it the other day with no problems (Yes, it was a used bottle).

It's actually kind of hard, that's why I don't like the packaging. I don't put it in the bottle because I can't see the volume or how many drops I've put in. If you turn the bottle upside down and wait a bit, a drop should come out. I personally just flip it over and touch it to my baby's bottle nipple to make the drop come out, but I'm not sure if that's advocated.

Yes. Bought my grand daughter the la newborn and the magic bottles. They fit well into the baby's mouth.
