      Thread: "Best non leaking anti-colic baby bottles for newborns?"

      We’ve used Philips avent anti colic and they have worked very well.

      Thread: "Is it just me or does it seem like dr browns don’t help that much with gas?"

      I don’t know if any anti-colic bottle makes a huge difference. Btw - “anti-colic” is a misnomer, it’s basically anti-air. I used Dr. Brown’s and Philips Avent anti colic and my baby still had a lot of gas until about 4 months. We just gave her gas drops about once a day. Now she’s 5 months and it’s not an issue. I personally think it just takes time, but it can help to reduce the air in the milk. It’s just not going to be a miracle fix.

      Thread: "PSA to those who use Phillips Avent Natural Response bottles/nipples!!"

      I base it off how long it takes my baby to finish a feed! It was taking him more than an hour to finish a mere 2 ounces but once I lined up the vent and sized up, it took him about 15-20 minutes. He also slurps, gulps and makes bubbles sometimes but you can usually fix/reduce that with paced bottle feeding. There’s many videos online that show you how to do that :)

      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 🙁

      These are my favorite, I prefer them to dr. Browns. No leaks and less parts to wash

      Thread: "Philips Avent VS Dr. Browns anti-colic bottles - what’s your preference? My baby will be bottle fed only as I have no breasts."

      I personally LOVE the Evenflo Wide Balance+ bottles, it’s an all in one with a nipple integrated anti colic vent. I used doc browns and Philips avent anti colic and both of them leaked like hell if they weren’t assembled 100% correctly

      Thread: "Best baby bottle poll"

      I loved Playtex Ventaire with my first. Due to manufacturing we had to find a new one. For my second, we are using Philips Avent Anti Colic. Neither child like MAM, Nuk, or either size Dr. Brown.

      Thread: "What bottle does your mostly nursed baby take well?"

      Philips avent anti colic or dr browns anti colic.

      We succeeded with natural response but not with anti colic too!

      I mean, I understand *why* they are recommended, but it seems in practicality they’re not very usable since most babies don’t successfully drink from them.

      I know it’s recommended when breastfeeding, I ended up switching and staying with a 2. I used the regular avent and the anti colic.
