Avent Naturals bottles or Tommee Tippee?

I am trying to decide which bottle to go with. The Avent naturals or the Tommee Tippee bottle. I have read pros and cons on both brands. I need advice from people that have tried both.

Get one of each. Don't open them yet. Every baby has different preference etc. I also suggest you get one dr Browns. Then see which baby likes and buy more. But save the others because sometimes babies will change their minds, lol! DS was mostly breastfed but I taught Sunday school so he needed a bottle of pumped milk. He was totally fine taking a bottle at first and went on a strike a bit later out of nowhere. We tried like 90 bottles. LOL.

Also I recommend this approach with diapers and pacis as well. DS did fine in pampers at first and then randomly started having blow outs at every single diaper change. We switched to huggies and honest and he did fine in those. Some babies do fine in all brands. Some can only use pampers, or target, or whatever. I would still get diapers but don't open the boxes in advance and tape the receipt to the box for easy returns.

They also tend to favor pacifiers. Mam seems to be popular but a lot of babies use the soothies or wubanub kind, some use nick, etc. I wouldn't stalk up on a single brand til you know their preference.

Agree with PP. we tried one of every bottle. It took awhile to get her to use a bottle at all and she ultimately used the ones with smaller nipples. The bigger ones like tommee tipee were too big for her small mouth.

I used Tommee tippee with my last two and will use them with this one as well. Both babies had no trouble with them and they are the easiest bottles to clean!

I used tommee tippee til my son was through with formula, now I used parents choice(Walmart brand) that he's over a year for milk only bc we use the tommee tippee sippy cups for all other beverages. I also used tommee tippee paci's for about the first year but now he will take just about any.. Slowly weening him off now though that he's 16 months... Waaaah! Side note: I have brand new avents and dr Browns that I have never opened for ds1 so lo2 will have options if he doesn't take the tommee tippees.

We used Tommee Tippee and loved them. I will agree with PP who said to get one of each though. When my son was born I went to the pediatrician with him because he was nursing ALL THE TIME, even after milk was gone (like for over an hour). Ped said he was using me as a pacifier, but I couldn't get him to take one instead. He suggested buying a bunch of different styles and seeing that worked. It did! They do have preferences in what they will and won't take. Good luck!

We used Avent naturals and had no problrms. We will try the again this time around but will still try one of each as I am going back to worker sooner this time.

Tommee tippee! We researched a lot before having our first and tommee tippee is the best! It's the best for breastfed babies also!

I agree with others.  Get a few kinds and don't open.  We bought all Tommee Tippee last time.  DD like them but they made her reflux and gas horrible because the flow was kind of fast.  We ended up doing Dr. Brown's and had the most success with them.

I will say we used Tommee Tippee bottles, pacis, and now sippy cups with DD. She easily went from boob to bottle. It was my first choice and she was fine with them. However, she was fine with any pacis or sippy cups we gave her, she's never been picky. I stuck with Tommee Tippee because I like the brand. Your LO may not like certain bottles, many are picky. Get singles and try them to find what works.
