please tell me what you like/didn't like about these bottles. I'm going to be only formula feeding if that makes a difference. TIA.

    I got them thinking they were going to be great since I wanted to Breastfeed and pump, but I wasn't able to BF so we had to start formula. My DD had horrible gas between these bottles and regular formula. We had to switch to Soy and Playtex Ventaire and she's been great ever since. They were big and bulky and hard for her to suck on without collapsing the nipples. Plus they are way more expensive than the Playtex and kind of awkward to hold. I was disappointed in them after all the great hype.

    I wasn't impressed to be honest. Not worth what it costs.

    This is the only brand bottle we've ever used, and we've never had a problem! Love them!

    Every baby is different, but my son would get too much air and even with the slow flow nipple, he would drink too fast and choke. We gave up on them after a week.

    Even the slow flow nipple was too fast for DD.  I'm with PP - switched to playtex ventaire (for much cheaper) and never had an issue again!

    They're the only ones my son likes, so I'm happy with them. He doesn't get bottles very often and doesn't like other bottles we've tried, but he'll drink from the tommee tippees without a problem.

    Love them but the warmer is b.s.. Skip the warmer.

    I like them a lot due to their breast friendly shape.

    I don't think I would have picked them for FF. Their shape makes them awkward to put in the pockets of our diaper bag, and they don't fit in a standard bottle warmer.

    They are okay. You can't get the last bit of milk out unless you completely tip it upside down then put it back in their mouth. They are kinda awkward to hold too since they are short and wide. I probably wouldn't buy them again.

    My DD had a hard time with them. They were the first ones we tried and has since only tired Breastflow bottles which we like much better. The Tommee nipples just seemed too large which prevented her from getting a good latch. She made a lot of noise when we used them, like she was swallowing air and had lots of gas.

    My DD has done great with tommee tipped bottles. She has been formula fed since day 1 and I've had no complaints. I even love the formula holder you can get for them that holds the formula in the bottle with the water without mixing the two. It's great for on the go and way better than a formula dispenser.

    We thought these were great for a couple of months, until we tried the Lansinoh Momma bottle which is so much better.  The problem I found with the Tommy Tippee's is that she gets the milk too fast and ends up dribbling out the sides of her mouth.  She can't seem to regulate how fast it comes out.  The nipple also collapses sometimes.  I prefer the Momma bottle. It's much sturdier and better made. It does takes a little longer to feed her but no more wasted milk.

    we FF and BF/pump. I like the Tommy Tippee's. My husband doesn't like them because the nipple collapses and it's hard to see if the nipple is full to keep them from swallowing air. DD does fine feeding from them. One thing I really like is that they are wider. It makes putting formula/breastmilk in them easier and creates less of a mess. I also think the wider bottle is easier to hold. DD sometimes is even able to hold them (on coincidence). We also use the cheap-o evenflos, medelas, and avents. The avents are nice too, but the extra piece annoys me. One more thing to wash and keep track of...
