What bottles are you using?

I am just curious if you recommend some over others. I got a Tommee Teppee set and was wondering what people thought of them.

Re: What bottles are you using?

  • I'm a fan of the VentAire bottles by Playtex.

  • I don't know anyone who uses the tommee teppee bottles.   Me and a friend both use the avent bottles and haven't had any problems with them.  I also use some of the medela bottles that came with my breastpump.  The medela nipples are bad about collapsing while DD is sucking on it.

  • I use Dr. Browns, Ventaire and Nuk bottles. DD will take any nipple put in her mouth.

  • I used Dr. Brown's with DD#1 and Avent with #2.  When #1 was a baby, BPA free bottles didn't come out yet, so I had to buy more for #2.  The only issues I had with Dr. Browns is with all the parts, and they leaked if you shook up the formula with the tubing and nipple on, I learned to just use the cap.  So I decided to try Avent since my sister used them with my niece and liked them.  So far they are working out well.  Both babies were BF and FF and neither had an issue going back and forth.
  • We hated TT, they seemed to get all over the baby, not sure if it was leaking or if the flow was just too fast. We use Dr Browns and are happy...the Born Free's were pretty good too.

     I exclusively breast feed.

  • We use breastflow.  They look like TT, but you can find them at Target instore. 
  • We LOVE Dr. Brown!! We've never had an issue with Annabelle and tummy aches after eating, or her throwing up. She used to spit up, just a little, but so far she's not spit up after a feeding since we switched to Dr. Brown. I dont know if that's just her, or if its the bottles, but we dont plan to switch bottles again. haha

  • We are using Tommee Tippee. I like the short profile ? it's a good way for us to replicate the closeness of breastfeeding since that's obviously not an option in our family. I also like the finger grips. The flow does seem a little fast, but we haven't had problems with it and no leaking at all.

    DS liked Dr. Brown's the best.  We tried the Tommee Tippee, but he wasn't a fan.  Be prepared for your LO to make the choice - we tried 4 different brands of bottles!

    This exactly. DD LOVES Dr. Browns. It's really a lot of trial and error

    I agree.  These are all we used with DD1 and now with DD2,

  • DD will basically suck on anything that we put in her mouth...

    We use Mam bottles a lot, since we have 4 of them.  We love them because DD drinks really well from their orthopedic-shaped nipple.  They're also 6oz, so they have flexibility.

    We also use Playtex Drop ins a lot - super easy to use and less to clean.

    We have 2 Avent bottles and I don't love them.  They're only ok to me.

  • Ditto PP - DS doesn't seem to have much of a preference, but we use Tommee Tippee and Playtex Dropins. I like TT better because the nipple is fatter than the Playtex Dropins so he seems to be able to get a good "grip" on them.

  • I have a couple TT bottles, flow does seem a little fast on them, my LO seems to gulp down a bottle, I've noticed she 'dribbles' more while eating with them too. We tried the NUK orthodontic but for my lo they collapse easily. We just started using Playtex Drop Ins and I think those are the best for us so far.

     With DD#1 we used Advent and thought they were good at first but found after a while of many uses they started leaking.

  • We use Dr. Browns.  I just use them because that's what we got from our shower.  They seem to work just fine, though they are a pain in the a$$ to wash on a day to day basis because of all the parts.
  • DS loves Dr. Browns and it really helps his gas...No problems over here. Our backup was Avent bottles

    This.

  • We have Dr. Browns and those cheap Gerber bottles. I got some of the Gerber bottles as a gift. They work great, LO loves them, and they're cheap! So, we ended up just getting a bunch of those. I agree that Dr. Browns are a PITA to clean. Elle will also suck on anything we put in her mouth if there's milk involved!
