Bottles- FF & BF moms come in!

neener*neener* · July 2013

My son is 3.5 years old. I saved all of his old bottles and could get new nipples for them. We used Avent bottles. Not sure if there is something better on the market now though.

I breastfed my son for 11 months but he used bottles when I was gone/at work.

What are the "best" bottles out there? DS was very gassy/fussy for the first few months of his life. So a bottle that helps with that would be great.

Thanks ladies!

I use Aven.t and love them. We haven't had any issues with them. A lot of people will tell you to get one of several different types and see which one your LO likes the best. I didn't do that and we didn't have issues with him rejecting these bottles. He also had bottles in the hospital, the ready made Simil.ac kind that are two ounces each and didn't have an issue with those either.

DD would only take Dr Brown's or Similac bottles when she was a NB, but now she'll take whatever. The Avent are our favorite.

We use Tommee Tippee also and they have worked great for us. I'm mainly BFing so DD only takes a bottle when we are out and about. She likes them and we've never had a problem. goodluck

The best bottle is the one your baby likes. I had a sample tommy tippie and she took it just fine so we haven't tried any others. I also like them since they have a wide neck and easyer to clean.
We EBF and she gets two bottles while I'm at work.

We have only used Dr Browns and I think they're great. DD doesn't spit up much or seem to have a lot of gassiness. I got a starter set and have only needed to supplement recently with extra size 2 nipples.

We also use Dr Browns and they have been working out well.

I Like Born free. Any My Babies aren't Picky At All Over Bottles.

Our doctor recommended Dr. Brown's bottles & they've worked great. Kinda of a pain with all the "parts" but I think they've helped with gassiness/burps.

This. I EBF and need bottles for daycare. TT is awesome. They have a little vent valve in the nipple to regulate air to prevent gas. LO doesn't spit up after using them either. And never had a problem with nipple confusion, I think their shape really helps with that.

Dd is ebf but while we were in the hospital & had to supplement they gave us a breastflow bottle to use. They are designed for breastfed babies. They really have to work to get the milk out which apparently help with preventing lo from rejecting the breast later.

My son and now my daughter use the playtex ones. I like the drop in system. Nice and easy clean up.

Playtex Ventaire, love them and zero issues with a gassy baby.

Playtex VentAire (the large nipple). We tried every brand on the market (seemingly anyways) and this is the only one DS accepted. Funny since it's also the only brand our nieces and nephews would take.
