Thread: "Are Avent nipples as bad as everyone says? "
The natural nipples were impossible to get any milk out of. However, we used the anti colic nipples without any issues

Thread: "What baby bottles are you all using? And glass or plastic?"
Absolutely NO glass bottles! I dropped one at 2 am half asleep, bottle full, baby crying, never again. Plastic anti colic avent bottles all the way.

Thread: "What bottle does your mostly nursed baby take well?"
Avent anti colic, size 1 nipples, and he's 3 months old. He also takes Dr. Browns with premie nipples

Thread: "Is it just me or does it seem like dr browns don’t help that much with gas?"
I feel like my baby gets a bad latch so all these “anti-colic” bottles do nothing. She latches somewhat descent on avent naturals but then gets gassy. She doesn’t latch with avent anti colic. I thought she latched okay with doctor browns but she was still just as fussy as anything else. I think I just have a gassy baby 🙁

Thread: "Best baby bottles?"
Avent anticolic was game changer for us. We also started with gifted tommee Tippee
Narrow Dr browns in our house. My oldest refused anything else and my youngest couldn’t properly use anything else.
Bonus is the nipple is shaped like the single use ones from ready to feed formula and its usually what they use in the hospital if baby has a shorter stay
If you have the ones with green vent you can take out the venting system once baby is older and then it’s only three pieces like any other bottle.
Avent anti colic is nice too and you don’t need the vent to use it just like dr browns so you can stop using it when it seems baby won’t need it. I used that bottle with a pigeon ss nipple for a minute.
Regular avent didn’t remotely work the nipples are either nothing comes out or child will choke drinking and then throw up fast.
I’d just get 1 or 2 at first and see what baby likes. I’d do a narrow like Dr brown or evenflo balance narrow and a wide like avent, evenflo balance, or Lansinoh (with a pigeon ss nipples because Lansinoh only comes with medium or fast nipples. They done have slow so too fast for a newborn)
I’d buy one of each that you’re interested in. I got a few samples for some at baby events I went to and bought a few from the store. Places like Marshalls/Ross sometimes have single bottles for a low price. Personally we use the Avent anti colic. They do leak sometimes but we just make sure they’re tight before feeding. We didn’t like the Dr browns, the flow (even with slowest flow nipple) was too fast. We have a MAM bottle as well and she does ok with it but sometimes rejects it.

Came here to recommend the sampler box! We ended up using Dr browns and avent anti colic but this was great to try out bottles
