The best bottle is the one your baby latches to the best. My son only does well on MAM bottles, the nipple is ergonomic and sits perfectly in his mouth , iv used tommee tippee and he was spilling out so much milk it was like Niagara falls lol
Same! We also latch to the breast as much as we can I just don’t produce enough milk due to being uninformed/uneducated in the first two weeks being forced to supplement formula. But I wanted him to love the TT that’s all I had bought but even w the size 0 nipple he would just make such a mess. I was gifted two dr browns from Amazon which when I went out n bought premie nipples they were great for him. However I was also gifted mam bottles recently and Omg. He loves them the most. I don’t have the right size nipple and they still are great for him! Every baby is different, they choose the bottle!
My niece was using the tommee tippee bottles but she struggled with bad colic. So we got her the Dr Brown, and it worked perfect, no more colic no more struggles with trapped wind. I'll be using Dr Brown for my baby too. But the Dr Brown bottles I know looks exactly the same but has a much wider nipple base 🤷🏻♀️
My experience was the complete opposite. My favourite is Philips Avent Natural and Mam. I liked how the Philips didn't drip or leak, easy to clean and always on sale. Mam's are cheaper, super cute but a pain to clean. Also dislike that they are not sold in store here in Canada, only through online. Dr.Brown's - hated the nipple on the sample we had. I found it very 'long' and my son was like choking on it. Not to mention the amount of pieces to clean. What a pain if you were to have like 6 to clean. Tommee Tippee - My son hated the nipple. I again didn't like the amount I had to clean - nipple, bottle, the anti-colic insert, piece at the end of the anti-colic insert, plus rinsing the cap and rim. I also didn't like the hold of them. Comotomo - I never tried because I was NOT paying $20 for ONE bottle. So I never tried it. Barely ever go on sale. Playtex VentiAire - I love the hold on them. Annoying of all the components again thought (same as the Mam). I also felt like my son was a hamster with the angle of the bottle. Nuk - I didn't like the Smooth Flow. The drip when facing down and not in babies mouth. Plus, I hated putting the nipple into the rim part - I always have to do it like 3 times before it's in. haha. It also leaks when you shake it - I have to put it on an angle to avoid this. - I did like the Simply Natural. One thing I dislike is that it leaks a bit when you shake it. Evenflo - I had the Balance+ Glass bottles and I just disliked the nipple. I felt like he was inhaling it. I was like deep in his mouth and looked uncomfortable for me. Boon - I disliked the nipples. Found the resembled the Tommee Tippee's and were every large - son didn't care for these bottles. I also found depending on the colour you use, the measurement is kind of hard to read. I bought the white/grey/black set and I could barely read the Grey one. I had to be like eye level with it. Not to mention the plastic piece covers most of the silicone, where you formula/milk is held. Overall, My son tried nine difference bottle times and we found the Philips Avent and Mam to be our favourite. Another thing to add is, I love 6oz bottles. My son is only 4 months, but I found the 2oz to be pointless and the 9/10oz bottles to be too big (at this time). I wish Philips made a 6oz bottle because I would stock up on those in a heartbeat. ^ my personal opinion. Every baby, parent, and budget are different. Try and get samples before you go and get multiples of one type of bottle. Just like formula, some babies take to some more than others.
Thank you fo much for sharing your experience with so many baby bottles. I am glad that you found the right fit for your family. Every child and their preferences are so unique, it's definitely a trial and error experience until you find what is right for you!
Wow Avent Natural did not leak, lucky you. I changed nipples, tried to stay on stage1, the bottle after a week starts pouring milk. I had to change my baby after every feed. I had a terrible experience
@@mommacare764 normally happens if you over tighten, had that happen once or twice before I corrected and hasn’t happened since. Kind of counter intuitive but you have to tighten it all the way, and then loosen it slightly. I always turn it upside down to double check.
Same, Avent was our newborns favorite, the slow/natural nipple helped her eat at her own pace but sometimes we felt she took longer to eat but we don’t mind holding her.
Very informative. I think the biggest thing I've learned is that every baby is different. I don't plan to buy any certain bottles before I get a chance to try out samples. I've already accumulated Dr. Brown's, Avent, Mam, Nuk, Chicco, and Evenflo just from free registry welcome bags
My first took to any bottle very easily. We started with the Playtex nursers but her dad didn’t like the disposable inserts and apparently the measurements aren’t super accurate on that one. She struggled with a lot of spit up with the Avent Classic (this was before they came out with the straw insert in it). She ended up doing well with the Dr Browns standard bottle/nipple. My son I think we tried every bottle I could get my hands on and he struggled with latching. My daughter had a perfect latch so that was new for me. Lol He ended up with the Tommee Tippee bottles and we love them! Plus there aren’t a billion parts.
I found that the MAM bottle gave my son the least amount of colic. He drank non-stop, while with other bottles he would release his latch and then start again. My next favorite was Tommie Tippie but I hated how old they looked after a couple washes (dumb I know). Very helpful review.
Glad it was helpful. That's wonderful that you found a great bottle fit for your baby! Every baby latches so differently, so that's a relief! Yes, I wish all the bottles lasted a bit longer!
I’m using the MAM bottles and my son is loving them from the start. I did breastfeed and gave my milk to him in these bottles. I never had to try other ones but it’s true that there’s a lot to clean, if I could have chosen another one I would have tried the Avent bottle, my friend has those and they are so nice to hold and much easier to clean. Her baby accepted those immediatly.. But maybe my boy would’ve hated those 🙈 I’ll never know, so I clean a little more and my baby is happy 🥰
So glad to hear that he latched to a bottle well from the start!! If it works well there’s no need to switch and I’m sure it’s worth the extra effort :)
I hope that it will be a great fit for your baby! It's always trial and error, wishing for a quick and smooth feeding experience that works well for your baby!
@@tidisani3342 Thank you for sharing your experience! Each baby is so different with what they prefer. Glad you found the right bottle fit for your baby.
I would suggest buying a single tommee tippie and single Avent bottle and see which one ur little one likes better. I much much prefer avent over tommee tippee. My baby tried the TT bottles a few times and just didn't take to them well. Now they just take up space in my bottle drawer. 90% of the bottles I own are Avent, it's the brand we have been using from day 1. They work great for us. We recently tried the dr brown bottle and loved it as well :)
My son does well with the philips avent and mam bottle but he has a very small mouth and other bottles gag him, he also gags on most pacifiers. He was born with congenital heart defects and had heart surgery in the 1st weeks of life. He has had some feeding issues and I have found that for his specific situation the philips avent is the best for my son.
I was not a fan of the tommy tippie bottle at all for my daughter whose a month old. From day 1 I started my baby on Avent bottles. But lately I've been experimenting with other brands. Recently I tried the Dr.brown anti colic and my daughter loved it!! But my daughter is colicky so the extra time and effort it takes to clean the extra pieces is worth it.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I have heard great things about the Dr Brown Anti Colic bottles for colicky babies. It was not the right fit for us, but I am glad you found the right fit for your daughter! What a relieving time :)
I find the teat on Tommy tippie is to big and my son swollow more air while feeding with them and I find the ant colic ones don’t help at all for my little boy. So I go to dr brown bottles as I heared they are really good with colic and
My daughter had bad acid reflux when she was an infant and we LOVED the Dr. Brown!! We're due in a few months with baby # 2 and I'm going right for Dr. Brown again!
my son(2m) also has some bad acid reflux and his doctor told use to mix rice cereal and karo syrup so i was curious if maybe you where recommended tht as well bc i just feel a little uncomfortable w giving him rice cereal son young but so far it’s been helping so ig it’s fine
The Dr. Brown bottles are great for preventing gas. I like glass Avent the best, because they also prevent gas, but have less pieces to wash than the Dr. Brown bottles. I use a mix of both throughout the day.
I'm bottle feeding since week 5, and kept on breatfeeding too, so it was important to have a bottle that would allow for breastfeeding. I've tried Medela Calma, Avent Natural, Chicco Natural, Lovi Medical, Lansinoh Natural and Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature. For us the only bottle that worked was the Tommee Tippee with teat size 0, everything else was too fast, even the Tommee Tippee teat size 1 was too fast. I know that MAM also has extra slow flow teats but I couldn't get a hold on any so couldn't try. We're doing the breast + bottle feeding for almost 3 months now, still using teat size #0. I think I'll only use a faster teat when we'll stop breastfeeding. Unfortunately in the meantime Tommee Tippee discontinued the extra slow flow teats, so I hope my stack will last. until needed.
My daughter loves the Tommee Tippee, however the size 1 is too fast for her. I was hoping to find an extra slow flow teat. It is sad to hear that it is discontinued.
After 3 babies all bottle fed because i used to work long hours . I can say Phillips Avent and Tommie teeppee are the best. Durable and less stressful.
Thank you for your honest review! And explaining why this was your opinion ❤️ I wish I had this 7 years ago when our son was born! This will help with out baby girl!
From the comments it's evident that most bottles are good. When a baby gets accustomed to a particular feel they rarely want to change to another one. I have a baby products store and I can assure you babies take to different bottles differently. The brands I've had so far are Avent, Dr Brown,Tommeetippee, Nuk,,Boots,Asda,Chicco, Mam,Nuby name it. They've all received excellent reviews and sold out.
Thank you for sharing your experience! One size does not fit all when it comes to baby bottles and when a bottle works well for a particular baby, it is such a relief for parents!
Since birth my baby use tommee tippee and she really love it. The bottles of tommee are very durable, easy to clean and reliable for my baby. You can use it for a long period of time.
The mam bottles worked the best for both my daughters both had thick lip ties and they didn’t have a wide latch by the time we got the lip ties released they only wanted that bottle!
Thank you for this video, We started using timer teepee and we’re happy with it, but I started looking at other options in case there was so eggy even better. I’ll stop looking now 😊 the criteria you applied is pretty much the same I'd use
I tried the comotomo bottle with my baby and around the 4th month he developed reflux, he would not take the bottle after battling so much I tried the avent natural and he was a complete different baby, those bottles saved my life.
So glad you found the bottle fit that works best for your baby! It's definitely a process of trial and error and can be so stressful when they stop feeding from a bottle!
For my first child i used pigeon. My second now uses dr brown but different design from what you have and it’s plastic, not glass. Although it has a lot of “parts” it’s not very hard to clean.
My baby didn’t like the comotomo ones and it leaked i dont know why. He loved the avent natural from birth until now he is 3months old. Now i tried this new brand Brother max and their anti colic bottles are amazing he loved it so much.
Thanks for sharing your experience! With the Comotomo bottles, you have to make sure the nipple of the bottle is securely attached to the wall of the plastic band, then screwing the top flat so it's secure. Glad you are enjoying the brother max bottles, I have never heard of them!
That's crazy my son loved the avent! It's because women have bigger or smaller areola mine was bigger so I feel like avent was perfect to use between and after I stopped breastfeeding and I tried all of the bottles you had there .
Plastic might be better than it used to be but it still leaches unwanted chemicals into the milk, especially when you heat the milk up in a plastic bobottleWe tried mams briefly and what a pain in the ...! They leaked :( Fourth baby so I'm not new at making a baba but the dang things leaked🤷🏻♀️ We went with the short, stout glass 8 oz Dr Browns because we wanted glass. But our nipples look nothing like yours, strange! On Amazon, the nipples you buy are like the Tommee ones you show or the Avents so they are more breast like. I've dropped these bottles from a standing position and they dont break ;) Also, the feeding therapy nurse we see said that if a preemie or slow flow works for your baby you absolutely dont have to switch up to a 2 or 3. It's a bit of a marketing gimmick as breastmilk flow never changes.
What brings me here today? baby is approximately three weeks old and does not sleep ever unless it’s during the daytime. He had gas I’m beginning to think colic?! I started using Dr. brown bottles with all the parts. I just thought it was normal for a baby to spit up etc. The last day or so he started choking and it was always dribbling down his chin like it was leaking when he wasn’t even trying to suck on the nipple.. I remembered I had some avent bottles Gifted to me off my registry and I was trying to see if there was any difference in flow? He seemed to take to it immediately and last night I know this might not ever happen again but he actually slept all night Long and hours into the morning!!! No choking or dribbling out of his mouth on his chin, it’s like no milk comes out if he doesn’t suck. I know every baby is different and there might even be a better one than this but I ordered more immediately this morning!
Thank you so much for sharing your bottle feeding journey with your baby! I am so happy to hear that you found a bottle that worked better for him. I have heard great things about the Avent bottles. I hope your baby continues to feed well!
Prem Bub, 33 wk. tube fed for 5 wks with express milk. then breast and express bf with bottles from 6 wks due to Bub needing meds and he stopped taking it in a syringe. We have Avent natural and TT. Both we found are similar in price, performance and latch. Now exclusive TT bottle due pandemic shortage in New Zealand of 6 m + nipple for Avent natural. Which we are gutted about. As advent bottle seems easier for our son to hold. But he’ll figure it out.
I breastfed my first and used the dr browns bottles when he was being bottle fed at the same time and he drank just fine from them but I hated how many pieces there were to clean. The vent system got bent very easily which meant the bottle would leak and it drove me insane. So I was thinking of trying different bottles this time but idk what to try 😔
My advice would be to buy one brand first or just even one single bottle or a 2 pack of baby bottles, and if baby gets a good latch and feeds well, you don't need to try them all. Each baby is different. Best of luck!
i first tried mam bottles with my baby when he was a newborn. they were glass and they didn't have vents like the plastic ones, so my baby was getting colic. and i also noticed that the teat shape is like a square (nothing like breast) ... then i went onto philip avent, and we liked the shape of the teat. we like to buy glass bottles because they cool down a lot quicker, but the cap doesn't go on right and the milk leaks (dangerous if it's hot water). we now have tommee tippee glass and they are perfect, and they fit nicely in my tommee tippee uv steraliser. Also, take note of the size of the bottles too - my baby drinks 9 ounce sometimes and some only hold 8 ounce
Did you like either como tomo or tommee tippee? Just got the tommee tippee for my 8 week old and she’s doing extremely well with them! 🙏🏻 she’s gassy and this bottle has helped tremendously! Playtex baby ventaire work well too but there are so many parts and they leak like a siv.. 🙄
Well technically the baby started right now on bottle so the Avent being so close to breastfeeding experience would probably work best on breastfed babies in my opinion.
I have a question about Avent bottle Natural. So i used the Avent bottle warmer to warm up the bottle and after that I wanted to check the temperature on back of my wrist before giving to the baby but I cant get any drop out of the bottle. They are anti-leak bottles so how am I supposed to check the temperature?
That's a great question. Sounds like the anti leak feature is doing its job. Have you tried washing your hands and then expressing some milk from the bottle with your hands squeezing the nipple? Best of luck!
I only bought tommy tippie and como tomo plus someone gave me pigeon. I also have the haakaa gen 3 which she likes initially, after she had a very bad colic and pedia said to stop feeding in a bottle, she refused bottle feeding. Now we’re introducing bottle again but with water. 😅
I use dr browns but I’m tired of them leaking so much I’m trying to switch but my baby got so used to the smaller narrow nipple so idk what to do any recommendations? I tried the Phillips avant natural but she hated that and the Philips anti collic she will drink out of but it looks like she gets tired half way thru of sucking on the nipple maybe I need different size flow nipples with that one
Congratulations of becoming a dad! You can find them at Target, Walmart, Bed Bath and Beyond or Amazon, just to name a few! They are popular so it should be easy to find them!
Thanks for this comprehensive review. We were using Avent and based on your video switched to Tommee Tippee, a life saver! Did you also evaluate best infant formula?
Hello, I am so glad that the switch to Tommee Tippee has worked well for you! I have not made a review for infant formula. In our experience of using numerous formulas, we used a 50/50 mix of Enfamil milk infant formula and Enfamil Gentlease Formula. We played around with a lot of formulas (even organic ones) and this was the best on our son's stomach. You really need to track how your baby responds to the formula (spit up, constipation, etc). Hope this helps and best of luck in finding the right formula for your baby!!
I'm so glad my bottle review was helpful! I never warmed up my bottles since that is not something that my son preferred. But you can warm up any bottle by placing it in hot water in a bowl or cup, but be sure to check the milk temp on your wrist before feeding. Best of luck in you bottle feeding journey!
Once we went to mams anticolic bottles my twins couldn't take any other nipple even tho they would before they used them. Tommee, Boon Nursh, & Avent nipples were just way tooo big for their little mouths plus the teat part was too short.
I love the mam bottles... I tried the tommie tippie bottles and I hated them ... the nipple gets sucked in and I have to take it out my babys mouth to fix
What do you mean your baby boy didn't get a good latch? Does that mean he didn't take the bottle? My baby girl will take any bottle but I do want something close to a natural nipple latch since she breastfeeds as well. My biggest fear is that she'll not latch to my nipple with time.
Hi Carolina, yes... what I mean by not a good latch is that he did not continue drinking from that bottle. That's great that your girl takes any bottle. I did not breastfeed, therefore I cannot speak to that experience. I believe how well a baby does with breastfeeding and bottle feeding interchangeably varies with each baby and maybe the bottle is just one piece in that puzzle. Best of luck and I hope your girl can do well with both!
Can I just mention how much of a nightmare are the anti colic tommee tippee bottle compartments to clean, these have not t been mentioned in the review compared to the other anti colic bottles
I never fed my baby cereal through the bottle, but I think most bottles have a nipple tip that you can buy separately for cereal bottle feeding. The Comotomo nipple tip is called the Variable Flow Y-Cut nipple for thicker fluids, but I do not have personal experience with it. I hope this helps!
Been using tommee tippee more than the other brands! My 6 month old baby is comfortable using tommee tippee. I bought other brands as well like Pigeon, Hegen, Avent and Dr Brown's . He won't drink his milk unless it's in tommee tippee. I think he likes the teat better the others.
My daughter is 5 months old and I started having issues with the Avent anti colic bottles leaking. 😞 These were my favorite...now I'm bummed out and searching for a replacement brand.
For no leaking, I would recommend the Tommee Tippees. Although, I do not know how well they work specifically for colic. ComoTomo sometimes leak inside the lid when shaking, but otherwise work really great for my son!
Bottle doesn't work. The 0. Let my son drink from it for about 5 minutes and nothing came out. Vent won't stay open. Tried squeezing it and it stays closed. Had 4 of them and non worked
Did the bottles leak!? Especially the Dr Browns bottle.. I was thinking about get some of these bottles but wanted to know about any leaks and are you sponsored by any of those products?
Hello, it depends on what you mean by leaking. If the bottles are uncapped, since there is an opening in all of them for the baby to suction milk, they all will drip milk if turned upside down. I am not sponsored by any of these bottles and that is why you are getting an honest review of our personal experience with each bottle. If the Dr Browns bottle is capped properly, then it should not leak from the sides, but there will be some dripping from the nipple of the bottle when it is open and turned upside down. Hope this helps!
I have issues with Dr Browns leaking. Have gone through all of the trouble shooting recommendations on their website, and still leaking. Then tried Avent, which my son does not like. Now on to try another brand!
@@kirap9366 maybe this might help but I got the anti colic Tommee tippee bottles from amazon (green top ones) and they have not leaked once if used the correct way which is not shaking the formula inside but mixing with a spoon... but tbh the colic still persists and you can’t really do anything about it apart from have patience.. we’ve used gripe water, infacol, the colic bottles and some home remedies.. it has helped a little but not a magic effect where she will stop the crying and sleep. I say don’t waste your money on the most expensive stuff and just persist for 3/4 months and colic should go
My doctor brown bottles have definitely been leaking , if I leave the bottle laying on its side it will leak out instantly into the cap ... these are the only bottles my daughter has taken but definitely looking into new ones
