School me. Baby bottles.

[gretchenindisguise]

What has changed in 5 years?

We used Dr Browns for L because they seemed the best back then and she did well with them.

Should we stick with those or do something different?

We are starting to buy things in weekly trips so we don't do a bit hit come October.

I like the Playtex with disposable bags. No washing bottles, just nipples. And he didn't ingest air.

[alzi]

I used Playtex Ventaire. She liked them, but they have a lot of parts.

[Jalapeñomel]

We use the Medela ones.

[mellymel]

We use Dr Browns and really like them. You should be fine to stick with them!

[Birdie]

We have Dr. Browns hand me downs and like them. DS didn't do well with Avent, he sucked too much air. I have some drop ins that I bought for traveling but I admittedly haven't figure out how to mix formula in them yet.

[cereal K]

We used Avent with C and are all geared up to use them again. I'll be bummed if I have to buy all new bottles and nipples!

I don't remember why we picked them, though. I know I steered clear of Dr. Brown's because of all the parts, and glass wasn't very prevalent then.

Us, too. 

And when I was working when DD1 was an infant, I used this adapter to make be able to pump directly from my Medela into the Playtex bags. 

[tigress]

I used playtex drop ins for DD1 and liked them but lots of trash.
I bought playtex ventaires with DD2 and liked those too but lots of parts.

I'm still debating what to get for this kid. He probably won't take a bottle til week 2ish, so I'm still debating.

I will have to keep that in mind for the next one.  DS was solely bottle-fed.

My baby has used Medela, NHL Kings logo bottles, and $1 Gerber bottles.

She has zero preference. They are containers for liquid.

[zaneyzoo]

We are using mam bottles this time around and really like them. We used avent with dd1 and liked those too

[Mrs. ChanandlerBong]

Honest to God, we tried them all with our first, and I had something about each brand that I hated. The ones that worked best for us were the Gerber Clearview cheap-o bottles. I didn't use them with our first because "how could something so cheap and not boob shaped work?". In desperation with our second (I was tired of the drop in waste and all the others had too many parts and/or leaked) I tried them and loved them. They screwed right on to the pump, we're ridiculously cheap and my son had no issues switching between them and nursing.

[shell24]

With my first two I used Dr. Browns.

This time I went the Playtex drop ins route. Best.Decision.Ever.

[snickers]

We used Avent natural, playtex drop ins, and playtex ventaire. The ventaire were the only thing that worked for her, but I heard lots of good things about the dr. browns!

[cville]

Pshaw. As IF I would buy anything new or additional for the second child. L liked/needed Dr. Brown's due to reflux (which I bought before she was born because my mom told me I was spitty as a baby), so O used them. And also had reflux.

He currently uses pink sippy cups at home. We sent the gender neutral colored ones to school.

[missmaddie]

At my shower we got 3 different brands "sample" pack things, and at various stages we had a reference for each one. Avent when DS was really little, Born Free pretty consistently (and the trainer nipple between bottle and sippey was his fav as he got older), and Tommee Tippee which we loved, but felt too fast at first.

[kristie]

The lansinoh momma nipples are awesome, seriously. I used the momma bottles when I was BFing. I bought a bunch of pink avent on clearance at target when I went to formula because I wanted tons and they were cheap.

That probably means that you kept way better track of them in between kids. 

I think I have some, but have no idea if they have all the parts. They're still down in the storage closet, but I'm pretty sure we lost a few along the way.

[statlerwaldorf]

I saved my bottles, but I felt gross using them after sitting for 5 years in storage.

I have been using Avent Natural. DS hasn't had any problems switching between it and nursing.

[cinderbella]

We did Ventaire the first time around but Playtex drop-ins the second time and I much, much prefer those. Way less parts to wash and I liked being able to squeeze all the air out.
