Recommend your bottles

[niki]

Last baby we used the Dr. Brown's bottles but I am not really interested in dealing with all the parts associated with those again.

If you have used a bottle other than Dr. Brown's with success, tell me which one.

We loved tommee tippee.

We started with Dr. Brown's, but switched to exclusively BornFree after the first week or two. I think they have just as many parts, but for whatever reason, they were easier to wash. Eventually we wised up and just threw everything into a dishwasher basket instead of dealing with them by hand.

If there's a next time I hope to use playtex drop ins

These are what we use. I sort of feel bad because they are wasteful, but DS is mostly breastfed so we don't use them all the time. I love them.

We use drops ins. I have no idea why. Someone bought us a few sets for our shower, & we have used them ever since.

tommee tippees are great, you can get them at Target and BRU and they run sales pretty often so watch for them.

the nipples are not as slow as the Dr. Browns though. We had a lot of leaking out the corners of her mouth until she was able to swallow faster.

My FAVORITE thing about them are the formula dispensers that you store inside the bottle for on the go. They are awesome. They are also super quick and easy to clean.

I use a mix of Dr. Browns and similac brand bottles for my kids. They seem to be able to switch back and forth with no problem. I got the similac ones free with formula, but you can buy them separately. I hate the Dr. Browns for the same reason as you. A man must have invented this damn bottles.

We used Medela, but they came with my pump and I never tried anything else!

We also use the medela ones that came with the pump.

We use playtex ventaire. We started with tommee tippee but they didn't work for us at all.

We use Born Free and while there are a lot of parts the slow flow is great and is helpful for his reflux.

[mellymel]

We use glass Dr Browns and glass evenflo. We wash all parts in a dishwasher basket.

I am intrigued about the tommee tippee bottles with formula dispensers now!

[6fsn]

I used Avents for my first 2 kids.

[chia]

We used plain Evenflo's, a mixture of glass and plastic, with Nuk nipples... they were super cheap, and did the job without any issue.

We used the playtex drop ins, too. You can recycle the disposable liners, which made me feel a little better. I found them easy to clean and plan to use them again if we ever have #2. You can get the Target brand liners for less than the playtex ones.

We use drop ins as well. They are great. We also Breastfed, so he only gets a couple bottles a day

[arch01]

DS didn't like the Avent bottles so we now use Breastflow. They were slow enough for him, especially at the beginning when he would choke easily.

[w2w]

We use the glass Dr. Brown's (not helpful - I know). But if you like them, why not just get a few dishwasher baskets for them - makes it super easy - the extra parts don't bother me at all since I don't have to wash them.

[lillioness]

We use Tommee tippees. Love them, but I haven't tried anything else. We were lucky that DD took to the first bottle we tried.

[vanillacourage]

We use drop ins but in retrospect I'm not crazy about having to buy the liners all the time. I guess you're paying for the convenience of very easy hand washing, but paying $15/month for the inserts when that would buy several ready-to-go bottles of another brand is not my favorite thing.

[zarapipe]

we used drop ins and loved them. Yep, the liners get pricey, but the bottles are pretty cheap, so that is my reasoning to make me feel better lol

[electricmayhem]

Avent was the first one I tried, and DS took it just fine, so I never tried anything else, aside from changing the nipple sizes as he got older.

Thanks for all the recs. I am certainly leaning toward the Playtex dropins, but the crunchy in me is finding it hard to rationalize all the waste from the liners.
