Baby Products Reviews of Born Free Twin Pack Wide Neck Bottles, 5 Ounce
Customer Review: Not Impressed
Summary: 2 Stars
With my first child I used Avent bottles, but decided to go with Born Free for the second. I was holding a grudge against Avent as I purchased them in the past believing they were BPA free when they weren't. I wanted to support Born Free as Avent has been slow to jump on the BPA free bandwagon. Now that Avent does make a BPA free line I am letting the grudge go and switching back. My daughter has been using the Born Free bottles for the first three weeks of her life. She doesn't seem to be able to latch on to the nipple very well. She makes a loud smacking sound with every suck which leads me to think she is taking in a lot of air. Now it seems she may be having some nipple confusion as she is having a tough time latching on while breastfeeding and isn't creating a good seal. She was doing fine, but it seems that the more bottles she gets, the tougher it is becoming for her to latch on to the breast. Also, the Avent bottles are smaller and more comfortable to feed with.Customer Review: Born Free is no longer the only BPA-free game in town

For our first kid back in mid 2007, we succumbed to the BPA paranoia and dumped our beloved Avent (Polycarbonate) bottles for these expensive Born Free BPA-free Polyether Sulphone bottles. And they have served us faithfully for two years (our 2 year old is still using them). But I curse every time I have to wash the bottles, with their two extra complicated parts (compared to the Avent bottles). In Sept 2009, we had our second child, and we went back to Avent. Since every other maker of bottles has a line of BPA-free bottles, we no longer have to accept such a complicated bottle with so many extra parts. So this time around, we went straight back to Avent's new Polypropylene (PPE) BPA-free bottles. No more Born Free for us! (But becareful with Avent...don't buy the honey-colored PES BPA-free bottles, which come in the yellow-color box. These PES bottles leak! Buy the PPE Avent BPA-free bottles, which are cloudy in appearance and come in the blue-colored box).Customer Review: Overall a Good Bottle

I used these bottle while working as a nanny, while I tried Avent for my own baby. Each have their own good and bad qualities, so if you're comparing the products before buying I hope this helps. First, I have never encountered a leak with a Born Free bottle, which is such a plus!! Avent bottles leak ALL THE TIME! Second, Born Free nipples are not as sturdy and occasionally collapse. I've found that this occurs most often when the baby is ready to "graduate" to the next flow stage. I find this is the worst aspect to this bottle, as you have to interupt a feeding to allow air back into the nipple to restore. Third, you have to be careful mixing powdered forumla in these bottles. Just swirl first before shaking in order to prevent powder "chunks" from getting caught in the vent system and not dissolving properly. And lastly, yes it has more parts which can add some time to washing them, but that never really bothered me. Overall, I prefer the Born Free over Avent.Customer Review: Great bottles

Our 3-month-old has been using these bottles since he was one month old. The bottles don't leak at all and they don't cause gas. I can only guess that the ones who had leaking problems don't know how to screw a bottle cap on.
At least one reviewer (maybe it was on the larger bottles; I read through those reviews too) seems to think the bubbles rising through the milk as the baby eats the milk is a bad sign. They apparently didn't go through any physics classes on their way to their G.E.D. If there weren't bubbles then a vacuum would develop behind the milk making it harder and harder to suck the milk out. So the bubbles are entirely necessary to equalize the pressure inside the bottle with the outside.
We plan to buy the larger bottles when he gets older and I might change my opinion then, based on what I'm seeing in the reviews about the nipples that allow more flow. But for our newborn, these bottles have been great.
Customer Review: The BEST Bottles out there!
Summary: 5 Stars
When our 2nd baby was born in 2008, there was a big movement towards BPA free bottles and I jumped on the bandwagon and went with these Born Free bottles as many moms recommended them to me. We had used Avent with our 1st and these looked very similar.
Well they turned out to be not just good but FANTASTIC! They NEVER leak and the nipple is big and wide that it did not create confusion when transitioning from breast to bottle.
Yes, there are more parts to clean than the regular bottle and they are one of the most expensive bottle out there but they are worth EVERY PENNY!
When our 3rd baby was born, 5 months ago, I bought some Avent BPA Free bottles to try and they were a leaky mess. My husband even said he wanted to go back to the Born Free.
I recommend these to anyone and everyone who wants an awesome bottle that will last a long time, is safe and doesn't leak.
