Registering for Bottles
I'm so confused as to what bottles to register for. My girlfriend had mentioned that some babies don't take to just one type of bottle, so I may need to change the type of bottle once I start bottle feeding. So I don't want to register for a lot of bottles that I won't use. What were your experiences?

Re: Registering for Bottles
With my DD, I went through a lot of different kinds. I picked up the Born Free to start with, and we will see how he does.

Re: Registering for Bottles
I just began my registry. I put on it the Playtex Nurser Gift set which has extra drop-ins, 2-4 oz bottles, and 2-9 oz bottles with nipples it's $30 and I also put on a 2-pack of Dr. Browns 9 oz bottles. I've read that the Avent bottles leak, I have a 2-pack of those on there too but contemplating taking them off.

Re: Registering for Bottles
I got Dr. Brown's. I didn't get a lot though and ended up buying a bunch more. This is really one of those items the giftcards come in handy for!

Are the Dr. Brown's harder to clean? I read/heard that all the extra parts inside make them much harder to keep clean.

I registered for Playtex Nurser gift set and have a few Dr. Browns that a friend gave me. Hopefully one of those works.

Re: Registering for Bottles
I don't know, I am very very new at this and was very overwhelmed looking at the bottle wall at BRU. Is it worth it registering for a bottle sanitizer system?

I did, then received it, then spoke to friends about it who have babies and all said it is unnecessary, so I returned it.

I am so used to it, it's like second nature. They really don't take long at all. Plus you can also get a dishwasher basket and do them that way. I bought a ton of them so I often just set my powder formula up in them in advance and just add room-temp water and shake when it's feeding time. I keep the water in a brita on my counter.
I know some people return them though because of the extra parts. Whatever works best for YOUR household though.

Probably not. My SIL registered for one but that's only because she doens't have a dishwasher. Honestly, I use the dishwasher once in awhile, but I also wash them by hand most of the time too. Especially during the week when I don't run my dishwasher as much. You don't have to "sterilize" each and every time----just the first time. But again, different strokes for different folks ;).

Re: Registering for Bottles
Babies that reject a certain bottle usually do so if they also get breast fed because the nipple and the bottle nipple are different.
I started my daughter on Avent bottles and pacifiers and that is what she stuck with. At first she didnt want it and what not but i just kept on and now she likes it just fine. She will reject other pacifiers now though if they are not the orthodontic kind
Point being is that a baby may reject anything you put in their mouth at first, as a parent you shouldnt just assume you need somethng new, you can keep trying and they will accept.
I use Avent Tempo and Avent sterilizer.
I dont own a dishwasher though AND you are not supposed to put BPA free stuff in the dishwasher with dishwasher liquid stuff. Washing by hand is best.

Re: Registering for Bottles
It all depends on the child, your child may like one bottle over another. I registered for 3 different types that I liked. Just dont open up all of the packages until you know which type your child likes.
