Thread: "What brand or type of bottles were you sent home with from the NICU?"
Dr. brown glass bottles. They have a very low chance of creating bubbles and "making the baby gassy". They also have some really cool boob shaped bottles that make it easier for breast fed babies to drink from a bottle. Nanobebe I think they're called.
Thread: "What baby bottles are you all using? And glass or plastic?"

I got some Dr Brown glass bottles by accident and my only complaint is they’re too heavy for my 11mo old to hold on his own.
Thread: "Using breast milk with a bottle"
