I've heard good things about these bottles - Dr. Brown's and Playtex drop-ins.  Your opinion?

I'm using Born Free, and they are ok, but not great.

We use DB and have not had a problem.

Drop-ins. easy clean up and he hasn't had gas!

I love my drop ins. They're super easy for clean-up--no bottle brush! Also, the bag sucks in and DS doesn't get as much air as some other bottles would allow.

My BIL and SIL use Dr. Browns and their bottles leak. Also, my nephew has been super fussy since he was born. He has refulx, but that's only part of it.

We use drop-ins and haven't had any problems either.

It seems like it would get expensive with the bags that you have to buy.  Do you find that to be the case?  BTW, your son has the same outfit on as my photo!

both work great, but with DB i only had to buy one size bottles, i bought the DI in 4 oz and have yet to get more (i dont think i will get more, i have 12 DB now)...only downside, DB has more parts to clean...DI only 3

I planned on using playtex drop ins. I had the bottles, the liners everything. And Ian had colic and we were told DB bottles were the best for this. We bought DB bottles as soon as we could and have used them ever since. Love them. I hate the parts though.

We use drop in due to DD having gas from day 1. I have only recently tried the Evenflo comfi's someone gave me and she seems to do ok on them so we may switch....if you buy the Target brand drop ins they are cheaper

We use both.  DD will take either, so we pretty much use what is clean and easy to get to.  I really like both...but the parts to DB can get a little annoying.  We have also had leaking problems with the DB.

If you buy the Target brand liners, they're not that expensive. It's well worth the money IMO. The small liners are about $3 per box of 50 and the large ones are $5 per 100 liners.

We use the drop-ins and DD has no issues with them

I never even wanted to try the Dr. Browns (only as a last resort) because they sound like a PITA to clean.

Your trade off is cleaning vs. buying drop-ins every 2-3 weeks.

We tried every bottle out there and Playtex drop-ins are our favorite.  Dr. Brown's were okay, but DS preferred the nipple shape on the drop-ins.  Plus I agree with everyone else that cleaning is SO much easier when you can just toss the liner when you're done!

i used avent with dd and swapped to playtex for ds.  i like playtex better. both of mine had reflux & playtex seems to be better in terms of gassiness / fussiness.  the extra $ is worth it to me for the time savings of not having to wash as many parts.  the nipples are also easier to clean because they don't have vents because of the liner.

we use the drop ins - they are so easy. i love only having to wash the nipples and rings at the end of the day. My SIL uses DB's and loves them but they are a total pain to clean
