STM: Recommend your baby bottles

Swannja1 · June 2012

We used Born Free bottles with DS. I really liked them and had no complaints really. But I recall there being a lot of parts when cleaning them -which were a pain (I guess I did have a complaint, ha).

Can you recommend your bottles that were BPA free, great with managing gas and had minimum parts to deal with when cleaning?

Every baby is different, but DD did great with Tommee Tippee and I plan on trying those again.

I used playtex drop ins w/DD.

I'll be doing Playtex VentAire this time.

DS only took to the playtex drop in bottles w/ the laytex nipples.

I loved the VentAire bottles with DS. Will definitely use those this time around.

This. We used them with DD and are now using them with DS. He's only had a few but he switches from bottle to breast with no issues.

I used the Playtex VentAir with my two, but just bought some Green To Grow bottles to have on hand here to try. Will probably buy a couple Vent Air's to have on hand too. Plan to BF, but also pump and store milk so DH can give LO a bottle.

I used Dr Browns last time, but do not want to deal with all those parts again so am using Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottles (which we used with ds when he was older successfully).

we used dr brown which we loved...pain in the butt to clean (with the parts) but they worked so well we never wanted to switch

Tommee Tippee, the kind with the less parts.

We used Dr. Browns for a few months but we hated them. Switched to playtex vent aire.

We liked these. I found them to be easier to keep clean than glass, and each bottle just had the nipple, cap, and the bottle to wash. I felt better about using glass instead of plastic since they had to be heated so much.

My LO never had issues with gas, and our pediatrician said bottles can't actually remove air/gas from formula despite what they claim, so he recommended sticking with whatever bottles were easiest for us.

FYI, they are just $5 for a 3 pack at Wal-Mart or BRU.

Don't think they have anything fancy for gas-reduction, but my DD LOVED the Medela bottles that came with my breast pump. I obvioulsy didn't have to use these until returning to work so i'm not sure how they would have faired with gas and all but they were the only bottle she would take...we tried Vent Air, Playtex drop ins, Dr. Browns...she wouldn't use anything else.
