Bottles - different brands

[Deleted]

We tried about 3 or 4 before we found one that worked. DD outright refused to drink from some brands. The medela and Dr. browns were a no-go for us, but she had no problems with Born Free. I think I tried another brand but I dont remember now.

I think this falls under "every baby is different."

We registered for a few different kinds. I figure we'll try one...if it works, we'll keep it, return the rest, and use the money to buy more of the first kind. If not, we'll at least have options.

We started with breast flow and now use tommee tippee. I'd have a few on hand.

I would try a few different kinds. My kids didn't care, but I do think DS was lass gassy/fussy with Avent, so we stuck to those for him.

We registered for two different brands (Dr. Brown's and Playtex Ventaires). DS didn't have a preference so we went with the Playtex because they were cheaper.

We bought 4 boxes of Tommee Tippee & only opened one box. Thank goodness because DS didn't like them, we had the receipts & returned the unopened boxes once we figured out what he liked.

We also tried Breastflow, he would take them but it seemed too hard for him to actually get the milk out.

He ended up liking Born Free.

Another tip, just because your baby takes a bottle for a week doesn't mean they'll like that bottle forever. DS took TT occasionally when he was 3-5 weeks with no problem. Then he started refusing & screaming bloody murder anytime it came near him.

We only bought Dr Browns and thankfully they worked for us.

DS will take any kind of bottle/nipple but we've stuck with Dr Browns. We didn't buy any before DS was born and then bought a couple different kinds when we started bottle feeding. I liked the Dr Browns the best.

the good thing about medela and Dr. browns were that they fit onto my pump so I used them for storage. lol

Just bought one brand - Avent.

Avent! that was the other brand we tried. DD drank from it but they always leaked.

It's really nice Dr. Brown bottles are interchangeable with the Medela pump bottles.

Avent!
