I used dr browns. Pain in the ass to clean but worked well for my son. He wasn't particularly gassy or anything

I used regular Medela ones. DS was primarily breastfed.

I registered for the Philips Avent. I did a good amount of research and plan to breastfeed my twins but I know I will have to supplement t times so I wanted one that was easy to transition between breast/ bottle and back and forth. Also- these bottles are comparable with my pump in the wide neck, but I did get the adapter if I need

ETA- I did the natural bottles instead of the classic!

All of this. Except the twins part. DD does really well with them. She's gone from breast to bottle to pacifier to thumb and back again with zero issues. I use the Avent natural bottles. There's literally only 3 parts to clean, they attach directly to my Spectra pump, and DD likes them.

Re: Bottles

I had registered for the Tomee Tippee due to great reviews.

Turns out reviews mean nothing because what works amazing for one baby will be horrible for another.

At our peds advice we switched to the playtex drop ins- he said they would be better for her gas issues as we could push all the air out of the bag before feeding.

Plus they were so convenient- you just toss the liner and only have to wash the nipples- and we were able to get the target brand liners for half the price of the playtex liners.

Avent. Simply because I remember my aunt using them with my now 20 something year old cousins. Lol! Luckily both my kiddos took to them very easily.

I did the exact same thing- used Tomee Tippee bottles and it was awful. DS was soooooo gassy. We switched to Playtex with the liners- pushed the extra air out and it was like I had a whole new baby

Re: Bottles

Philips avent natural.

We started these with dd1, and switched to dr. Browns when she was gassy, and they did NOTHING for the grassiness. Just a pia to clean.


We stuck with avent for dd2 and love them.

ETA: we prefer the glass ones but have some plastic for the diaper bag

We used Playtex drop ins for all 4 of my boys. I liked that we could push the air out of the bottle and cleaning was much easier.

I wouldn't register for any bottles. We tried so many with DD before we found one that worked great. Tried the Philips Avent, tried the Playtex drop-ins, tried Dr. Browns. Each had their own issues. We stumbled across the MAM brand (only sold online and Babies R Us) and they were amazing.

All babies are different.

We used Lansinoh mOmma and Playtex Nurser DropIns. DD was mostly BF and took well to those bottles. Super easy to clean, too.

Bottles that she did not do well with...
Avent Natural
Joovy BOOB

Re: Bottles

With DD we used joovy boob. With DS on the way, I registered for the joovy boob glass bottles. I'd like to stay away from plastic if possible, so hopefully they work out.
