bottles?

I'm still pregnant but due in a few weeks and I'm going to breast feed my baby and I'm wondering what bottle is the most like a actual nipple?? I want my baby to be comfortable when I have to go to work but also still latch on. I'm also worried that my milk won't come in and my baby will me hungry since u don't have any milk yet. I'm 35w4d

Thanks for the advice ladies. I bought several different types hoping she will like one of them and still be able to breastfeed

Don't be worried about you milk not coming in that is rare. Just because you haven't leaked yet doesn't mean anything. I use Tommie tippee

my mom bought me the closer to nature Tommie tippee and natural avent bottles. I planned on only breastfeeding but baby wouldnt latch when she was hungry during the nights for some reason. I ended up bottle feeding her for about two weeks but I got a breast infection because I wasn't pumping enough and my ducts got plugged so I am not strictly breastfeeding. she's latching greatly now. sorry for the ramble but she loved the bottles - the avent more I would say. they leaked less and I felt she had more control. my milk also came in two days after having her

I breastfeed for only a month and a half mostly pumping. I couldnt get the latch right. You might be ready and have planned the way you want it to go but it might not go that way.  Afterwards i gave formula i think i used the Playtex. You can have different nipples on hand using the less flow ones first. Find what works best for you! Good luck!

Dr brown or Tommy tippie are supposed to be the best for breastfed babies. You should try to stay strickly to breastfeeding for atleast 3 weeks.

I use the advent bottles. I've always liked them. Don't worry about you milk not coming in. The first couple days you will feed your baby collustrum and your milk will slowly start to come in. My suggestion to keep up your milk is to eat healthy and more often. And try to pump between feedings.
