A bottle is a bottle is a bottle.

Here are the steps when it seems a baby needs supplementing.

1. fix the latch, use compression so that the baby gets more milk.
2. use a lactation aid, if the above doesn't work, using expressed milk as
the first choice.
3. use a cup if the baby is not latching on or if the mother isn't there to
feed the baby.
4. use other alternative feeding methods.
5. bottle if the above do not work.

They need a breast bottle like a fish needs breasts.
