fav. Bottles?

Hey Ladies,

I am expecting LO#2 in March.  I used Dr. Browns bottles with LO#1.  I loved them and my baby had very little gas or tummy troubles. We don't have a dishwasher, so washing all those little parts is a long process everyday.  Add on, regular dishes and sippy cups, I imagine myself doing dishes every free moment of the day. 

What are some other bottles that you all loved?  

 

TIA

Re: fav. Bottles?

  • Sorry, I'm not much help as DD preferred the Dr Browns, too! We did get her to like the Nuk ones later on, though. They are basic and easy to wash.

  • We used Tommee Tippee with DS.  He had a really easy time going in between breast and bottle.  He did have some gas issues, and I later bought a couple dr. browns, but he had a hard time with the more narrow nipples after using the TT's.  I know Tommee Tippee has special ones for gas too, but all the pieces seem like such a pain if you don't need them.

  • we tried everything with DD and the only one that worked for us was Tommee Tippee, we still use this brand as a sippy as well. Awesome product IMO

  • We use MAM bottles at our house. We had no tummy trouble and I think the bottles are adorable.

  • Pura stainless steel bottles.  The nipples can be switched for sippy spouts, which is what we use with DD now.  Love them!

  • We used Dr. Brown's with ds too.  Then with DD we tried Avent because of all the parts with the Dr. bottles and she took right to them.

  • We used Born Free with DD and they worked great!  We tried a few brands before sticking with these.  They do have a few parts though, but the parts were not that difficult to wash.  I am getting a few more for this baby and new nipples for the older bottles.

  • We use the Tommee Tippee bottles. DS has very little gas or tummy troubles and the bottles also haven't ruined his latch.

  • We used Dr Browns as well and plan to again for this LO. I feel your pain re no dishwasher and all the little parts! If this LO doesn't go for the Dr Browns then I think we will try Avent. I have friends who say they are really good as well. GL!

  • If you want to cut down on dishes, use Playtex Drop-Ins. I use these and have a few bottles and a bunch of extra nipples; after a feeding I can just switch out the liner and the nipple and it's ready to go again. You do have to spend money on the refill liners, though -- it depends on which is more important to you, saving time or saving money.

  • When she actually does drink from a bottle, we are Tommy Tippee fans.

  • I used Playtex drop ims when ds was a newborn and they weren't very good for us. He had gas/spit issues so we switched to born free and problem solved! But every babies needs are different.
  • We have a fussy baby and tried multiple bottles.  I would rate them from best to worst as:

     1.) Avent:  Easy to clean and decent with gas.

    2.) Playtex: Had issues once he out grew the slow flow bottles and he got really fussy after awhile.  The cost of liners adds up over time.

    3.) Dr Browns:  As good with gas as the Avent.  Bottles are somewhat big and have a lot of parts to clean.

    4.) Tommee Tippee:  The slow flow nipple was too fast and he spit up a lot.

    5.) Medela:  These bottles are a joke.  Turned the bottle upside down and milk poured out like a hose. 

  • We used Avent with both kids and loved them.
