Bottles!

My baby is very gassy :( Anyone have experience with dr Browns bottles? Are they as good as they look? Do they help with gas? Using avent bottles now but they seem to leak! Thanks!

Re: Bottles!

  • I'm using dr Browns and I love them. Haven't had any issues with gas.

  • I used Dr. Brown with my first and again with this LO. Issues with gas are minimal. I did notice more gas when I switched from premie nipples to level 1. I may have switched too soon. You could try a lower flow nipple with the avent bottle before changing bottle brands.

    BTW- I'm using similac sensitive formula.

  • Love our Dr. Brown's bottles! Minimal gas and less spit up!
  • I'm using them with level 1 nipples, for breastmilk. He does have some gastro issues about 50% of the time right after eating but then he sorts himself out and falls asleep within 5-10 minutes. 
  • My sister used Tommee tippee sensitive tummy, kind if a similar venting system but with a wide base. I have a set, but haven't tried them.

    I'm using tommee tippee as well with the colic valve. Seems to be working very well. He gets 1 bottle a day of breast milk.
  • We use Dr. Brown's for our daughter. She gets a 50-50 mix of breast milk and Gerber Soothe (for colic, fussy babies) and we have no issues at all. Love them!
  • I have dr Browns, advent, and tommy tippy, all bought for me or free. I prefer the dr Browns.
  • I used them for DD and now for DS. DD was a horrible spitter for the 1st year and other tummy issues. DS is having tons of discomfort after eating (only a week old so not sure what it is yet). I think they help but nothing takes it away completely. I think it comes down to your baby.
