edited September 2011 in Third Trimester

Comments

  • I dont have kids (yet) but my sister in law swears by the playtex vent air ones.
  • Im going to use either the breast flow disposal or the playtex drop in.
  • I love the Playtex ventaire.
  • Dr. Browns are good but they have to many pisces for me to keep up with so I'm doing playtex drop ins,less to wash and I can push all the air out.
  • Using the playtex ventaire!
  • Im using the playtex drop-ins =]
  • I loved the ventaire last time and will be using them again this time! Dr. Browns look like a real pain to wash!
  • Playtex drop ins! Don't try to push the air out tho it busts the seal and milk goes everywhere. The bag slowly sucks in as baby drinks and doesn't get the air which is great for spitty or fussy babies.
  • I got the Tommy tipee closer to nature bottle..kinda expensive but sure has raving reviews!
  • I bought Playtex drop ins.
  • I have the Platex ventaire newborn set and it worked perfectly when had my daughter cause it comes in all sizes. Lovvvvve it! I even pumped in to them
  • im using the breastflow disposals because im planning on bf & only using bottles when im at work the nipple is good & actually like a boob ( had bf try it out lol) it looks a bit weird but I have heard nothing but good & like what I see from those bottles only...i work with infants & have seen a lot of bottles so this is my opinion...playtex vent air is good the vent system is awesome but it has a lot of peices to clean & parents tell me it is hard to keep up with especially if your tired. playtex dropins help with gas & fussyness but I dont like the nipples-in my opinion playyex nipples are flimsy & long & the children whp are breastfed have a little trouble latching at the begining of a feeding causing them to get some air causing spit up (sometimes) I have only seen bf babys with this problem.. dr browns-children seem to have no problem with only complaint from parents are the peices are hard to clean sometimes you have to scrub the little parts with a brush & it can get tricky...nuk &avent dont really havea good vent system & you have to take the bottles out of there mouth so nipple wont suck in & I dont like them. this is only my opinion & I only listed the bottles I have had & used in the past & with mulitple children :) goodluck
  • I'm using the drop ins, they are easier to deal with, give the baby less air bubbles, and the flow stops my little hungry hippo from eating so fast she chokes :)
  • I'm using breast flow bottles and my daughter is doing really well on them. I put them on my registry bc I thought I was going to breast feed and her dad wanted to be able to feed her too...but breast feeding hasn't worked out too well. But I still like them.
  • @zolabean those are really good but the nipples let a lot of milk out and my dd would choke. I'm glad I had the spare playtex ones, I would keep an extra one just in case your little one eats as fast as mine :)
  • I loved the ventaires. I liked that the bottoms come off and you can get them super clean. Also, the nipples didn't collapse like other bottles do. When I have my third I will be using those again for the third time!!
  • Oh man @AKmommy I hope that's not the case even with the 0 month nipples?? I will get some playtex for sure thanks!
  • @zolabean, I bought 10 of them things and maybe she just needs to learn to slow down but she chokes a lot with them. I hope they work tho, I'm sure once this child realizes that I will not starve her she will slow down and can use them Lol
  • I breastfeed and use breastflow bottles. They work great. My son won't use anything else.
  • I'm using Dr. Browns and I love them. There are really only two extra parts and are not a pain to clean. My daughter doesn't deal with hardly any extra gas or spit ups.
  • I tried dr browns avent and playtex! I love regular gerber and even flo bottles $3 for 3! Like my doctors say the bottle manufacturers just want your money. A bottle is a bottle and honestly the normal ones last longer and don't leak and easy to clean :)
  • So with the playtex vent air's I guess just boil them to sanitize??
  • I brought the ventair new born kit so it comes with the smaller bottles. As far as the be browns there is a few pieces that come along with those.....
  • I'm guna be using playtex drop ins :) you can get all the air out and its easy to clean :)
  • I was going to try the tommy tippee but some of the reviews and other pregly mama's said they had trouble with them leaking. So we are going to try the breastflow when he gets a bottle. We learned with our other 3 children that just like diapers, every child is different in what kind of bottle and pacifier they will take. And I think babies who are breastfed like mine are maybe a little more picky because they want something like mom and we want something that mimics feeding from the breast so they wont get confused or lazy. With my other 3 I used Playtex disposables, Playtex ventaire, and avent...those all worked great but I really like the breastflow. Don't buy a ton of any one brand...try it out with your baby to see how they like it:)
