Baby Products Reviews of Born Free Twin Pack Wide Neck Bottles, 9-Ounce
Customer Review: so complicated...
Summary: 3 Stars
I was hoping to replace my Avent bottles, and based on several reviews, I chose Born Free. First off, in case you're wondering, it is not compatible with Avent nipples, lids, sealing discs like several reviews said. That aside, what really got to me was the complicated pieces, each bottle has a "valve" piece that consists of two parts. That plus the nipple and ring and cap, it is a 6-part bottle!
It is just way too much to take apart, clean by hand, and put back together. The valve doesn't seem to have any real impact, but my baby has never had "colic" problems with any bottle.
I sent the bottles back and bought ThinkBaby. They are so much better, the plastic seems more durable, the look is nicer, and they are cheaper and of course no BPA, lead, etc. Try ThinkBaby... oh, but keep in mind the flow of the "slow" nipples are way fast before you go buy a fast-flow.
Customer Review: Dr. Brown 2.0
Summary: 5 Stars
I used Dr. Brown for my first child and Born Free for my second.
Born Free bottle design is comparable to Dr. Brown, the next design generation. The bottle has nice "dents" for easier grip, the "funnel" is shorter and can be clean with the normal nipple brush, unlike Dr. Brown. Leaks only happen when I forget to include the "funnel" system or when I did not twist the nipple on correctly.
It's expensive!! But I'm paying for made in Israel body and nipple. The nipple is overpriced. But you can get a cheaper Dr. Brown nipple that's made in Germany. BTW, I believe Dr. Brown bottle (non-niple) is made in China.
Avent bottle is made in England. But they didn't make non-BPA bottle until much later and the reviews have not been that good.
Bottom line: I recommend getting Born Free but buy Dr. Brown nipple for replacements.
Customer Review: Leaky bottles and collapsing nipples
Summary: 2 Stars
I've been using born free bottles (glass and plastic) for 8 months now. When I first started, I noticed that the nipples would collapse at every feeding. I emailed the born free customer service and they told me that the silicone venting slit can stick together when sterilized. They recommended that I massage open the slit when putting the bottle together. This worked 50% of the time. When the bottle collapsed during feeding, I would have to unscrew the bottle and let air enter. After using them for some time, the nipples no longer collapsed but the bottles started leaking. It seems to me that the silicone venting system needs to be replaced every few months. I bought new silicone vents and they're not leaking now. I'm not going to buy another brand because I already invested so much money in these bottles. If I had to choose again, I would not buy born free again.Customer Review: Nipple collapses all the time!
Summary: 2 Stars
I just got this bottle because they are BPA free, my son like his milk warm. The problem I have is that the nipples collapse all the time, I use th Y nipple. I love the Avent bottle ant now they have BPA free bottles that you can combine with your old nipples. BornFree nipples are very expensive. I have tried everything and I think Avent is just the best. Dr. Browns are difficult to clean and time consuming to assemble. Avent is simple , nipples never collapse, and those who say that they leak it's because they are not closing it properly. Mine have never leaked. I also was very disappointed because I bought a 9oz three pack and when I got them there was only one vent valve included for 3 bottles. I have a coupon to get the other 2 vent systems for "free". Why would they not include it in the package? I have been at the store to redeem the coupon and they are always out.Customer Review: bpa free but leaky somtimes
Summary: 3 Stars
I've used Avent for my first two kids (4 and 2.5, who still enjoy one bottle of milk per day) and with all the hype, I decided to try out Born Free for #3 due soon. Perhaps I just ended up with a faulty part (the plastic part that screws over the nipple), but it leaks every time (not the other one). I did use only Avent nipples because the Born Free were just too collapsible for my kids. With four plus years of bottle experience, I know how to remedy a leaky bottle, but this one just won't be championed.
Since I can't return it for a refund, I'll keep the one ring for the two bottles.
Due to that frustration, I researched other bottles and decided to go with Evenflo glass bottles. No worries about plastics leaching into the milk and storage in glass seems to last longer (I nurse and pump--I produce a lot of milk, so I need lots of storage, no formula for me).
