Avent VS Born Free?

I just can't decide!! 

Philips AVENT Natural Glass Bottles 8oz VS Born Free 9 oz. Wide Neck Glass Bottle? 

Both got similar reviews. Has any one had any experience with them? 

I used glass Dr. Browns with DS 1 and 2 and I need to replace them. I'd go for Dr. Browns again but DS 1 and 2 spit up FREQUENTLY and DS 2 had colic. I'm not blaming the bottles, but maybe a different bottle could have reduced the spit up and colic? Who knows.

I started out with Dr.Browns and switched to regular Avent when she was around 6m. I LOVED that avent bottles are sippy spout/ trainer cup compatible so you only need to buy the set of bottles and the new lids in the future. Not sure if it works that way with glass though? Anyway Avent are great, highly recommend.

We used Avent and Playtex drop ins.  I liked both- drop ins even more so, because they were easier to clean up.

I give you props for using glass bottles, I'm way too clumsy, I would break them!

So, I just realized I gave you no help at all because I didn't answer your question.  Sorry

Hope you are feeling good!

lol that's alright. I know, I'm shocked I never broke one since I used them for DS 1 and 2! Pat. On. My. Back lol

well sh*t now I'm confused cuz I was leaning towards Born Free. Hahaha. I don't mind the bits and pieces cuz Dr. Browns has a million to wash as well. Just want to try another brand

I LOVE glass bottles. I will never use anything else again I don't thing. Super sturdy with a cover. I never broke a glass bottle, but I cracked enough plastic ones.

Honestly, if you want glass, just get the standard Gerber ones. They're awesome and get much better reviews than anything else. Super simple so not a lot of hassle in the parts department. I just started with super slow nipples until I was sure she could handle it then moved up. I had a reflux baby and once I did that, I didn't have a single issue.
