Good BPA bottles for the price |
I just recently purchased these bottles for my little girl and found them to be worth the price. I've never had a problem with them leaking and my daughter is not as gassy since I've started using them. There are a few things that I've noticed about them, though.
1. If you have small hands, these bottles are probably a little awkward while handling. Fortunately, I have quite large hands for a woman, so they were very convenient for me.
2. It's hard to tell if the nipple is completed through the collar or not just by looking at it. If you pull the nipple until you hear a click, however, you can be sure that the nipple and collar are assembled correctly.
3. There are lots of pieces to clean. You have to assemble these for the bottles to work. There's a white liner and a bottom screw in part for the bottle vent that must be cleaned after every use. If you misplace one of these parts, you cannot use the bottle.
If you have a Baby Depot (in Burlington Coat Factory) near you, these bottles are also sold there for $11.99. |

Great Bottles |
Bought them because all the reviews saying it would reduce colic. They sure do. My only problem is that it has so many pieces = a lot to wash. Funny thing - A few times, when I am half asleep I would forget to put the flange on the bottom, then try to fill the bottle. Oh what a mess.

not so great |
|
I was surprised that I did not like these bottles at all, considering the overall positive reviews. I found them to leak excessively from the base, and could not figure out the magic trick to get it to stop. In addition, the milk dribbles out of the nipple, so if the bottle gets knocked over not only a mess, but also a waste of hard pumped milk! I don't know if the constant dribble is to resemble let down??? Anyway, would not recommend. |

LOVE these bottles |
This is the only bottle that my daugther will take. I tried 5-6 different brands, different nipples, etc., and this is golden. I introduced the bottle to my daughter right at the limit of what's considered 'best time', i.e., at 6 weeks. She took the bottle once, hesitantly, and the second time and thereafter simply refused it. I think she was afraid of it, and also did not know what to do with it.
So I breastfed her all the time, until a few weeks ago, when I went to a store to see if there was one that might work. (My baby was then 4 1/2 months old). This botttle was recommended to me because the nipple on the bottle is flat, and easier to grasp by the baby. Also, the bottle has a venting system that allows air to enter the bottle when the baby sucks the milk. It works! I hear a short whooshing sound every time she suckles.
I had my husband try to give her the bottle. We tried the second feeding in the morning (the first is around 4 or 6 am for me, second around 9-10am). This is the time when my baby is in her best mood, and not entirely starving. So for probably 10-12 times she took is hesitantly, but got bored and fussy in about 2-3 minutes. Then slowly, she was more serious about it, and increased the time she kept the bottle in her mouth, and started to suck more vigurously. She initially started w/ half an ounce, and today (3 wks later) she drank 5 1/2 ounces! Victory! AND she took the bottle from me, too, which is definitely a first.
There are a few tricks in my view:
1) try different bottles and nipples (MAM works for me, but I heard great things about Dr Brown, too).
2) Make sure you err on the side of having smaller sized nipples, instead of larger ones. Babies who are not used to the bottle tend to suck very vigorously, as they are used to work hard to express milk from the breast. When at a bottle, they try to do the same thing. Trouble is, it's easier to drink out of the bottle, so as a result they gag, and then this triggers a negative feeling about the bottle. So SMALL nipples are better. (MAM's come in 0-6 months, which is what we use now).
3) Experiment different times of the feeding - morning, afternoon, etc., after a walk, after waking up from a nap, in the dark, in the daylight, etc.
4) Experiment w/ different levels of hunger - sometimes if baby is starving, she'll take the bottle. Other times, she gets mad, bc she can't figure out why you're shoving a plastic toy in her mounth, when all she wants is a breast!
4) Experiment w/ different positions - mimick the breastfeeding position, or place the baby in a bouncer (this works for us the best, so far)
5) Have different people give the baby the bottle. My husband and 2 of my sitters have done it successfully, and now me.
6) If baby does not take the bottle initially, wait for a week, or 2 , or 2 months! and then reintroduce it again. Babies enter in different developmental stages- mine got interested in mouthing anything within her reach, and then eventually 'got it'.
7) Learn about the way babies feed. They use different muscles and different suction power when they drink at the breast and at the bottle... And of course the older they get, the stronger they get!
8) Express milk at a time when your baby is less likely to nurse. For me, this is usually right before I go to bed (around 11-12pm).
9) Be patient, and don't dispair! She will eventually take the bottle.
TWO more important things:
1) DO YOUR BEST to breastfeed your baby exclusively until 6 months, and then in combination w/ other solids at least until 1 year of age (I hope to do so until 2-3 years). Make any sacrifice you can right now, because it will be SO worth it. Your baby will get sick less often and will be more successful academically. Seriously, it's probably worth thousands of $ later down the road, bc your baby will be smarter and will get more financial aid. Maybe you think this is a stretch, but research has proven that most breastfed babies do better in many areas than formula-fed babies.
2) Use BPA-free bottles! This is serious. You don't want your baby to ingest plastic. It never leaves their body. Scary stuff. So check the labels --> there are many bottles that are not BPA-free that are still sold in stores. some of the other ones around.
Good luck! |
