Emulait
We bought Emulait when our 3 month EBF baby refused every other bottle we tried. She would cry and push them out immediately, and I was stressed about going back to work.
We chose this one because the nipple shape looked closer to a natural latch. It’s definitely more expensive, so I was hesitant, but we felt like we needed something specifically designed for breastfed babies.
It wasn’t an instant fix. The first few days she barely drank anything, but she also didn’t completely reject it, which felt like progress. By the second week she was taking 2–3 oz more consistently. We did notice the nipple collapse once when she sucked hard, but adjusting it seemed to help. By week three she was finishing full feeds and switching between breast and bottle without issues.
Feeds are still on the longer side (usually over 10 minutes), but I actually see that as a positive. It feels more similar to breastfeeding compared to other bottles we tried, especially because of the responsive flow valve. Our baby seems to control the pace better instead of milk just pouring out.
Overall, I’m giving it four stars because it did what we needed it to do, but it’s definitely pricier and requires patience. For parents dealing with real bottle refusal I think it may be worth trying.
