Can you recommend the best bottles to avoid nipple confusion? I just finished the big stuff on my registry and want to add bottles, nipples, pacifiers, etc.?

DS isn't picky. I use the nipples that came with the Medela pump and Nuk nipples. He takes both with no problems.

I also use the Nuk brand and she does very well with it!

My Lo isn't picky either. I use the Medela nipples, and the platex ones that come with the drop ins.

my recommendation would be to not put bottles (or diapers) on your registry. I made that mistake, got a ton of Dr. Browns and then DS hated them!!!! I have no idea where some came from so I cant return them.

I also have a basket full of different bottles because DS was so picky. And I like that I got a bunch of different types of diapers to try out and see what worked.

That being said I have heard good things about the "breastflow" bottles.

We use the Playtex Vent air and DD doesn't seem to mind them

Born Free works well for us.

DD has never had a problem with the nipples that go with the Playtex drop-ins.

DD will take anything but loves the soothie bottle nipples and playtex nipples, but she will eat out of anything

Avent = fail

Dr. Brown = fail.

Playtex Advanced (wide nipple) = semi success.

Breastflow by First Years = huge success!

DD takes anything - we use Born Free, Dr. Browns, Avent and Born to Grow - and has never had a problem going between breast and bottle

We use what came with our pump and Breastflow. I haven't tried the others I got tho. But my DS seems to like anything.

bamfs · August 2009

We use the NUK bottles and nipples... they were the only ones she would eat really well from... GL!

But, my LC told me, you want anything the shape of those nipples, and never use the pacifiers with the flat side because it causes serious nipple confusion.

I haven't had a problem with nipple confusion. LO has taken a bottle since week 1 and has always used a paci. I use Medela bottles/nipples and a random assortment of pacis.

alaskabride2be · August 2009

We use the Nuby non-drip bottles and DS takes them with no problem.

I did not give LO a bottle until he was seven weeks old and when the time came he got a Dr Brown's bottle. As another poster identified I would not register for a ton of bottles, pacifiers, nipples, etc. We have purchased EVERY pacifier at Buy Buy Baby, Target, and Babies R Us and LO will not take one. Caution with registering for diapers as well as we we tried three different brands before finding one that worked for our LO.
