Do you use only 1 brand of bottles?

I'm EBFing and haven't given many bottles of pumped BM so far. When I give DS a bottle, I just use the Medela ones that came with the pump. I won't be giving those to DS when I go back to work b/c I'll need them to store milk when I pump.

I have a few different brands of bottles, but not a lot of each type. Were you able to switch back and forth between different brands of bottles or did your DC only prefer a specific brand?

I always used Playtex Drop Ins and never tried anything else. I also BFd for 4 months.

I EBF for 4 months and then used glass Dr.Browns bottles because I knew I had a gassy baby.

Re: Do you use only 1 brand of bottles?

we're using two brands, playtex ventaire & evenflow regular BPA free bottles.

We decided to use different bottles so DS gets used different forms. A woman at work advised me of this.

Re: Do you use only 1 brand of bottles?

I use playtex drop-ins & born free bottles with pumped BM for DD with no problems.

Adiri bottles are great for babies that are EBF

Re: Do you use only 1 brand of bottles?

I use only the Born Free bottles. He prefers the wide neck bottles. Actually, DS really prefers the breast. He only tolerates the bottle.

I B/F for 6 months but when I went back to work (at 14 weeks) DD got pumped milk in a bottle.

We've always used the Born Free bottles. Never had an issue.

Dr browns did NOTHING for my gassy baby and theyre a PITA to clean (hand wash)

Avent did nothing either.

I use what I find that works and whatevers cheap

She used the Evenflo for a long time because the nipples were closet to the Medela and hopsital samples...but they started to leak and tick me off.

So now she's using Gerber type .. w/wide nipple thing. I dont care.. she likes it and it doesnt leak.

She also uses these other bottles a friend gave us.. odd shaped with the majority of the width on the bottom? whatever..freebie

And some cute little bottles with pictures on it.. again.. whatever.. freebies

AJ just doesnt care.. as long as she can get her milk out she'll use anything. Guess I got lucky..

... or im a bad mom.. one or the other.

but we tried lots and basically went with whatever worked for both of us.

I always used dr browns bottles. DD has a lot of gas issues and supposedly those were the best for that, we didnt use any other brands.
