nipples/bottle ?

What bottles/nipples did you use for your little one?  Emma may be coming home this weekend and I have no idea what to get.  We used drop-ins for my son, but those nipples seem so gigantic.

Dr. Brown's bottles and nipples were the only ones she'd take.

We struggled with what bottles/nipples to get also. We started with the First Years Breasflow bottle, because it's so similar to the way a breast works. Savannah always took it really well, but very slowly (like the breast!). But, after a while we started disliking the bottles because the milk pools in the top and you can't really tell throughout a feed how much milk your LO has taken, without squeezing it back down. That became a pain.

Then we got Drop-Ins and one VentAire bottle and she likes both of those and takes them quicker! We also still give her supplement bottles in her "disposable" nursers from the NICU. Honestly, we still have measurement problems with the Drop-Ins (even more so cause they just don't seem accurate)... but we've just learned to deal with it.

We use Dr. Brown's, for no other reason that I kept hearing about them.  It's all we've used so I don't know if it's work the money or little bit of extra hassle...but they seem to work well.

When DD first came home we used Playtex Ventaire but switched to Dr Browns.  She had some gas issues and Dr Browns seemed to do the trick.
