Have any moms out there used the Tommee Tippee bottles with their LO's? Is anyone planning to use them with the LO that they are expecting?
I have been reading about them and they are pretty "new" I guess compared to their use in Europe. Just looking for some opinions on bottles to use with my LO. I'm planning to BF and I want the transition to be smooth, well as smooth as it can be.
Any suggestions?
TIA!
Re: Tommee Tippee Bottles- anyone? & Bottle suggestions
My husband is fighting me tooth and nail to use them... I used Playtex drop-ins with my son but he seems to think they will be far more superior lol
I will let him win and try them out

I never used their bottles, but I used the sippy cups with my DS. I thought they would be a good transition to the hard spouts of the playtex bottles.... they are ok. I guess they did the job, but the valves are absolutely the worst I've ever had to clean. My husband finally made me toss them after a few months because we literally could not get the valves clean and they were getting gross.
(note, though, that I have no idea if the valve functions the same in the bottle as it does in the sippy)
We used them for a few months. My son did horribly on Medela bottles. He did well with the Tommy Tippiees but he was a messy eater with them. Around 4 months (after I stopped nursing), we switched to Avents. They seemed to work best for DS.
For this LO, we'll try the Tommy Tippees again when I'm nursing. I really did love them, though they tending to stain in the dishwasher.
this is what i was going to say, their sippy cups suck. so, we won't even bother w/ their bottles. we used Playtex drop ins last time and loved them. their nipples are very good for BF babies, very similar.
I used them with my DD and loved them and will use those again with this LO. I liked them because they were easy to clean, and were perfect for breastfeeding. The nipple is designed to simulate a breast. My daughter never refused them even 2 weeks into breastfeeding. One of my friends had trouble with her daughter refusing bottles, I gave her one of my tommee tippee and her dd never refused one again.
Wouldn't use any other bottle after using tommee tippee, I loved them.
But as PPs said, the sippy cups suck and we wouldn't use those, we just used a regular sippy from walmart or whatever.
Yes!! I almost forgot this perk. I LOVED those inserts when we switched over to formula. It made feedings when out and about so much easier!!
