Best bottle to prevent air bubbles/gas in baby

My LO has had bad gas since week 2. (She is 6 weeks today) We are currently using Mylicon drops (recommended by pedi) and Playtex Ventaire Advanced bottles.  The pedi also put her on Enfamil Gentlease.  Since we have started her on the mylicon drops and the gentlease, the gas has gotten better.  When feeding her though, I can still feel the bubbles in her belly. Is it the bottle causing the air bubbles?  Should we try different bottles and if so which ones work best for gas?

Re: Best bottle to prevent air bubbles/gas in baby

  • We used playtex ventiaire and LO really liked them but I got some Medela bottles and he does ten times better with them.  Maybe worth a try!

  • We have had awesome results with NUK orthodontic. We tried lots of brands before we found this one. We have the 5oz bottles and they vent the air soooo well. DS has a lot less gas now. We got them at Target - 3pk for $12. Hope this helps!

  • I have tried TONS of bottles for my kids and playtex drop ins have worked the best for gas.
  • We love the NUK orthodontic bottles.  i see such a difference when we use these and our LO is also on Enfamil gentlease and mylicon drops.

  • We tried a TON of different bottles and ended up with Dr Browns, they are great and help with her gas and reflux

  • Def Dr browns.  We had the same problem. Switched formula, tried the gas drops.  but the Dr Browns really help a lot.  Although the down side is they have a lot of parts to wash.
  • Funny thing, we did try Dr. Browns and it seemed worse afterwards :(

  • We used to use drop ins but she had bad gas and spit-up with them...then tried the NUK bottles and she hated the nipple...we finally got the Avent anti-colic bottles and they seem to work out great so far.  She likes them, and she has had noticably less gas and spit-up.
