Thread: "Are Avent nipples as bad as everyone says? "
Okay here's the DL on avent nipples. Avent has 2 main types of bottles and nipples that are not interchangeable; Anti-Colic and and natural. The anti-colic are similar to a regular bottle like Dr browns etc but are a little bigger. The natural nipples are designed for breastfed babies to avoid "nipple confusion" etc. With the naturals, your baby has to suck in order to get milk, with the anti colic it will drip out slowly and doesn't take as much effort to suck out. SO if you start with naturals from day 1 you should be fine BUT if baby gets used to a regular type bottle (like mine did in NICU) then they may not want to take the naturals (mine didnt). I wanted to do breastfeeding and avent naturals when we went home from NICU but baby would only take the nicu bottles or avent anti colic and he wouldn't take my breast either unfortunately (and I tried to BF and pump for 6 months..) Anyway now he uses the anti colic and I really like those too. It really comes down to your plans to formula feed or breast feed and personal preference (yours and baby's).

Thread: "Best baby bottle poll"
Dr Browns options the narrow one. Eventually you can skip the green part and use the bottle without Kiddo had most success with this bottle and I found it comfortable to hold Avent anti colic was nice too. The naturals new nipple didn’t work for us
