Re: Recommend your bottle...

  • We always used the Medela bottles until I weaned Lucas and then we switched to Born Free.  With Evan we are using the Medela ones as well.

  • I had the best luck with Medela bottles as well when we had to get Rose to drink from a bottle. She did okay with Dr. Browns too, but they have more parts to clean which I didn't like.

  • With DS # 1, I used a Gerber NUK bottle, with DS # 2 we use a Born Free...leftover from DS # 1 not taking it.
  • We used Dr. Browns wide exclusively with DS #1 and with DS #2 we used the Dr. Browns agains but with some nuks and something else that I now can not for the life of me remember.  I was lucky that both of my boys were totally fine and accepting of bottles (it probably helped that I failed to ever produce more than 50% of their needed BM so they would have starved had they not taken a bottle).
  • Bought a ton of Dr. Brown before A was born, and she never did well with them (the wide-mouth she will now take). Tried all of them...and, BreastFlow worked the best. Hands down. 

    Make sure you get a bottle that doesn't flow too quickly. I know others liked Medella - though, my good friend used them with her son, and he started refusing to nurse. The lactation consulant said that the bottles were giving milk too quickly, and he wasn't having to "work" for it.

    GL!
