I have had the best luck with born free. They are BPA free and work great with babies with or without reflux issues.

hi. just in case in you still need an answer, Dr. Brown's worked great for us. Its not the most easy to clean friendly, but its construction makes it very easy on baby for burping, gas and colic. congrats!

Thank you for your quesion. The Born Free bottle is considered wide neck which makes it easier to clean than narrow or "standard neck" bottles. Also, the Born Free bottle has a wide nipple which is more similar to breast feeding and helps reduce nipple confusion.

The Natural nipple is designed for babies that breastfeed. It's designed to simulate a breast so if you have to feed the bby with bottle it won't interfere or cause a confusion on the baby. It's great. Have in mind that these nipples are only for natural baby's bottles, ou can't use it on a regular one!

We bought one of both to try and ended up settling on buying more of the Pura Kikki. While not an exhaustive review my quick summary would be (noting that our preference ended up being Pura Kiki): Pura Kiki: +Lighter than LifeFactory (important for if/when the baby is holding or when you are travelling) +More robust then LifeFactory (important for if/when baby starts throwing/dropping the bottles and travelling) +Can use the nipples/tops interchangeably on the small Pura Kiki and the large Pura Kiki bottles. +Can convert to sippy cup and also food container (for example we keep Gerber Puffs in one of our PK's when travelling) +Can fit other brand's nipples e.g. we ended up using MAM nipples -Cannot sanitize in the Microwave -When using the flat cap tops to mix formula we have sometimes (and only sometimes) noticed a slight leakage from where the flat silicone top didn't properly seal. -Not quite as easy to see how much water/liquid is in the Pura Kiki. Need to have a reasonable light source and look in through the top at the interior markings. Usually not an issue, however if your kitchen doesn't have good ambient light then means you need to switch on the lights etc. Or if travelling etc. LifeFactory: +As it is glass it is easier to sanitize when travelling or at home by using the Microwave +Easy to see how much liquid is in the bottle -Heavier As for price, it varies and depends on the full lifetime of the bottle. We bought Pura Kiki and would do so again if we went back in time.

i bought the born free bottle warmer but have not had a chance to use ot yet. The kinde kozy warmer is the way to go You are worried about nutrient loss. Otherwise the born free does have a temp control so you can turn that down too. I went with the born free because it has a cooler attached for two bottles next to the bed for night feedings.

I would definitely recommend as my baby is exclusively breast fed and she could easily use this one , she is still using it! She is 1 y o now�

I have used the tommee tippee bottles but the flow seemed faster And my son got a lot of air. With the mOmma bottles the flow is slower and the nipple fills his mouth. He gets a lot less air. I hope this helps

Tricia is correct. I will add that Medela does make an excellent slow flow nipple. Our daughter started on that, which then helped her learn to breastfeed.

This is infant formula for babies. Description stated "For breastfeeding moms who choose to introduce formula." Referring to moms who previously or currently breastfed and now introducing formula to their baby.

The 9 oz bottles come with medium flow nipples. The 5 oz bottles come with slow flow nipples. If you're breastfeeding, start with the 5 oz bottles. Breastfed babies don't usually take more than 4 oz per serving anyways; they eat less per serving, but more frequently. I didn't know this, so now I have a pack of 9 oz bottles sitting unused.

I would buy extra membranes. They are very thin and can break easily. Plus you probably need to replace them every few months. I have found if my production starts going down and I change the membranes, it goes back up. I would also get a good hands free pumping bra. Mine did not come with a nipple for the bottles, so you would need that to feed a baby, and you would need extra bottles for the baby. http://www.amazon.com/Medela-Spare-Membranes-Breatpumps-Pack/dp/B0001CTZ8K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1393430032&sr=8-2&keywords=medela+membranes

My 3 month old has been using these bottles/nipples since he was 2 months old. He is on the added rice formula though, so it was hard for me to find nipples that allowed it to flow & not get clogged. I would say a 1 year old would do just fine. The box says the nipples are for 0+ but I've honestly never seen any other flow nipples for these bottles.

Hello,To be honest we stopped using this brand a while back, first of all as they didn't not feel "comfortable" putting "baby" on it for us was a big red flag.Yes we know breast milk is the most important nutrition a baby can get but we also need some clarity here! lolI don't see any other brands using this term so not sure exactly why they would use this as an excuse.Anyway we switched to Holle, some much more exceptional product, wow nothing even comparable on the market.I would just recommend that instead, well worth it and it seems every body that tries it is completely sold on it.Good luck!

Yes. My baby is strictly breastfed so he only gets a bottle on the occasion I have to be away for more than a couple of hours. He has to work the outer nipple enough to put pressure on the inner nipple which is a lot like nursing. I still suggest burping a few times during bottle feeding to slow it down a bit but he doesn't go through it as quickly as other babies I've seen using "normal" bottles.

I have used a bottle brush that came with a bottle set I received, but it was a narrow brush that fit these great. I haven't been able to find it sold separately anywhere, but this one looks pretty similar and seems like it would be small/narrow enough to get down in the bottle: Abstract Baby Bottle Brush with Sponge and Nipple Cleaner (Blue) (Abstract Baby Bottle Brush with Sponge and Nipple Cleaner). Overall, I actually found these bottles to be pretty easy to clean, so as long as the brush can reach the bottom, it shouldn't be too much of an issue. Hope this helps!
