Best bottles with not too many parts?

Alas, tomorrow Sam turns 3 weeks and we're going to start giving him a bottle so that he has no troubles with taking bottles at day care. (I say "alas" because it's been AWESOME just nursing him and not having to worry about pumping regularly so far.)

With Ali we used Vent Air(e?) bottles. No real reason. They were the first ones we tried and she took them fine so that's what we went with. But DH insists on handwashing all the bottles at the end of the day, and those things had a bunch of different parts that made it take a really long time. 

So what's your fav bottle that doesn't have a bunch of small parts? 

Dear Bump: You suck.

  • Hopefully I get a next time, but next time I will soley be using Playtex Dropins.  I wish I had been using them from the start with DS.   So.Easy.

    eta: if your daycare uses a bottle warmer, be sure to get the original nursers, otherwise the decoratives ones will melt in warmer.

  • We never used anything other than Medela bottles. I pumped right into them and used them from there. They don't have any additional parts other than the bottle and the nipple. I can't believe he's already 3 weeks old!!

  • Plain old gerber bottles, they are cheap and when they look yucky I just throw them away and buy more. I also use the dr brown nipple with them.

  • I love our Tommee Tippee bottles.  They are just the nipple, bottle and ring to hold the nipple.

    This.  Q has never had any issue with them and they are BPA free.

  • We love our Medela bottles.  They are simple.  I only breastfed for 8 weeks, but I continued to use the bottles because Avery took to them really well.  
  • I tried using the medela bottles because I already had them from DS, but DD didnt like them.  We're using Tommee Tippee and Playtex Ventaire for her - I think she preferred the wide nipple. 
  • Big fan of the Playtex drop-ins.  Sorry, planet.

  • Playtex Drop-Ins here. It was the only bottle he'd take, but they were super easy to wash since the only thing that needs to be washed each time is the nipple. I'd usually rinse the outside bottle and ring and then wash them every other time or so. If you get the HEB or Target brand drop-ins, they're not that expensive either.
  • We just had those glass gerber ones.  We had a few of some other brand that were basically the same but they had a silicone sleeve to keep them from breaking.

  • Another vote for Playtex Drop ins and I second the rec for the generic liners.
  • ditto, we loved our playtex dropins!  we'll be using them the next time around.

  • We used the Evenflo glass bottles at that age.  Very easy to clean and at a really good price too!  Then we moved on to the Evenflo BPA free plastic bottles--again, those were cheap and easy (that's what he said)!
