3rd Trimester

What kind of bottles are you getting for you BF'd baby?

I am trying to decide what to get. ?I used playtex drop ins for DS1 and wasn't crazy for them. ?

  • I'm giving Dr. Brown's a try first. If they don't work out Avent will probably be my second try.

  • I used Dr. Brown's with DD, and will use them again. She didn't take bottles often, but they were recommended to me, and I liked them.

  • I got one box of Avent, and one box of Dr. Brown's.  I'll probably start with Dr. Brown's to see how they go...
  • I was recommended to get the First Years BPA Free Breastflow bottles.  I have some Medela ones too since I learned that you can pump and save in those ones, but another friend who BF'd said that the breastflow bottles are more like the real thing for a bottle because there is less flow
  • We are going to try Medela.

  • My ds had severe reflux and could only use Dr. Browns. I kept them all so I will be using them again.
  • I only got Dr. Brown's for DS and they worked no problem. They are a bit of a pain to clean though but I still like them.?
  • Born Free to start and then I have a couple Dr. Brown's as back-up. Both glass.

    Bro, but look how many ants are on this trash can...

  • I got Dr. Brown's-- some in plastic and some in glass.
  • To start off and for "trial and error", we got one Medela, one Breastflow, one Playtex and I think one more bottle from the breastfeeding aisle (can't remember the brand).

    We also have the free bottle Babies R Us gave us and the free bottle Motherhood Maternity gave us.

    We have a bottle buffet!!

  • I bought 3 different brands to try (I got one of each until I  know which she likes best): Dr. Browns, Avent, and Breastflow.

  • I am trying out 3 different kinds - 1st years Breast Flow, Avent and Medela. 
  • I'm hoping to get Breastflow bottles but they don't carry them in Canada so I asked a friend to pick me up some on his next road trip. If those don't work I will try the Adiri bottles but they are ridiculously expensive.
  • I'm going to try the Avent bottles, but not for any particular reason.  SIL recommended so that's what I registered for.  There's too many to choose from!

  • I got three different brands: Born Free wide neck, Dr. Browns wide neck, and Drop Ins. I got a free VentAire from Motherhood, and my sister is giving me an Avent, and an Adiri... so I really have a smorgasbord of bottles for LO to try.

  • I used the drop-ins and advent for DD#1 and plan on using them again.

    I really liked the Advent ones for the first few weeks.. not sure why, I just did ;) I went and bought some new BPA free ones for #2.

    We tried the Breast Flow ones w/ #1 but DD hated them. I didn't like them either.. too many parts to clean/put together (2 nipple pieces) and I just thought they were weird w/ the 2 nipple pieces (which are meant to slow down flow to be like BF). It just frustrated DD.
