Best bottles?

Playtex nursers with the drop in liners. It has a wider mouth on the nipple which mimiced the breast more and was the only bottle my dd adjusted well with. I bf and pumped and supplemented with formula. My d had reflux and these bottles helped reduce the gas she got because u push it out of the liner. They are easy to clean since the liners are disposable yiu only have to clean the nipples and the bottle itself. When your out all you need to bring is 1 bottle/nipple and bottle liners. You dont need to travel wuth mult bottles.

I tried dr browns first and she hated them. I also hated them with all the pieces its very annoying to constantly clean.

Honestly bottles are very different for every baby. I have quiye a few friends who used playtex but also have a handful that love dr browns. My sister loved avent.

Best bottles?

I love my glass Dr. Browns bottles. I can wash them 1000 times over and over in the dishwasher since they're glass and won't wear out. Plus they work great for gassiness.

I have heard a lot of people complain about all the parts it comes with, but I don't understand why since I just use their dishwasher baskets and throw all the parts in there. It's simple.

We use plastic dr browns and they have worked well for us.

I agree with PP... I really don't mind the parts, it really is not a big deal.

Best bottles?

Playtex Drop ins with brown laytex nippe. Im EBF & these are most like a real nipple. They are easy to clean & less air in baby tummy. I also have a Playtex Pump that fits the bottles.
Target & Walmart make there own drop in liners too.

This all the way!! Dr. Browns did not work for us at all. We have the whole gift set and used all of 2 bottles from it.

In the beginning we used dr. Browns, but I didn't like all the parts. I didn't really feel they got clean in the dishwasher and hand washing was a pain.

I really like the avent natural ones now...

Re: Best bottles?

With my ds he loved the playtex drop ins.. with my dd she hated them and tolerated dr browns a little better but really like momma bottles by lansinoh but i hated them so we finally figured out that we can use the momma nipples with the dr brown bottles lol

We use the playtex drop ins. We don't have a dishwasher and figured pushing out the gas would help with the gas. DS has bad reflux but we changed the formula to fix that. He has gas problems but we think that has to do with the new formula and he still passes it, he just needs to try really hard.

I have 1 playtex ventaire bottle and use that as well. DS does REALLY well with it but it comes out REALLY slow and it takes longer for him to drink.

Loooove Playtex Drop Ins. So easy, so light, and they work awesome. Both my kids never had gas issues and hardly spit up. I think they're great.

Re: Best bottles?

Playtex Ventair!!!

air bubbles don't build up so baby isn't swallowing air and getting gassy.
There's a few pieces but they are easy to clean... honestly we just use the dishwasher each day.

Re: Best bottles?

I bought 3 of 4 different kinds of bottles. My older DD was difficult and wouldn't easily transition from breast to bottle. This one, totally different. She like the hospital nursette nipples. Now I use the medela ones and she is fine. DH usually feds her ! bottle a night.
