Baby Products Reviews of Born Free Twin Pack Wide Neck Bottles, 9-Ounce
Customer Review: Guaranteed to leak after a while
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very happy to initially find these (despite $10 price tag per bottle -- outrageous!). We bought 2 plastic ones, two glass ones, and several trainer/sippy cups. After a while, all bottles were leaking! It does not leak all the time, but about 8 out of 10. We always bring the bottles with a paper towel wrapped around the neck, because it's almost certain it will leak. Hugely disappointing, and of course the customer service, as per other reviews, is terrible. They suggested we were overtightening the bottle, which we were not and continued to experiment with every combination of tightness, part combination, etc. It's very telling if ALL of their models leak, and alll 6 bottles -- obviously it's not a one off case.
I hope they have improved their design in the meantime. Luckily other choices are available now, and I am sure to stay away from these!
Customer Review: BPA free - That's why I bought them
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought these Bornfree glass bottles after being told by my cousin that Avent bottles are leaching BPA to the baby's milk when they are heated.
My baby did not have any problem switching from Avent to these ones. After the first week, one of the bottle's neck broke. That disappointed me a bit cos they cost dearly. Cost me 15 euro for each bottle (cos I had to order them from the UK - the shipping charge is a bit robbing).
The nipples do collapse when the venting system is not put correctly. My baby still has gas.
One of the good thing about them is they don't have the afterwash smell of detergent that you use to wash them. Avents bottles smell of washing liquid even after I rinsed them very well.
Overall I am happy with these bottles. I would recommend them to my friends
Customer Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
After researching baby products, this came to the top of my list as it is BPA free. I also liked the concept of reduced pressure in the bottle from the venting system.
Sadly, these bottles leak... a lot. They tell you not to tighten them too much or you lose the "venting" benefit. I'm a big guy and I really have to crank them down to prevent leakage. Then, I notice that my 2 month old son cannot seem to get milk out of them like he can from a standard no-frills Medela bottle. I tried them a month ago and thought to try them again. Leaking... reduced milk flow, all the same problems.
This is a very disappointing product. I love the BPA free concept but if you can't use the bottle, what's the sense. It makes for a fancy storage container. The venting concept is also great... if it actually worked.
Customer Review: I miss my Dr. Brown's bottles!
Summary: 2 Stars
We threw away all of our Dr. Brown bottles because of the BPA problem announced on the Baby Bargains website and swtiched to these at their suggestion.
These bottles are a big step down from Dr. Browns in every way except for the BPA-free feature. There are more air bubbles, they are wider than the standard size Dr. Brown bottles which makes it difficult for my baby to hold them, they are harder to clean, and for us the biggest problem has been that the nipples collapse all the time. This is frustrating because nipple-collapse avoidance is mentioned in most of their on-line product descriptions!
My son hates these bottles. He's developed a gas problem he never used to have and cries during feedings when the nipple collapses. I'm about to invest yet again in a new set of BPA-free bottles. Wish me luck.
Customer Review: best bottles we've tried
Summary: 5 Stars
We have a 7 week old and are now exclusively formula feeding. We tried Avent and Dr. Brown's before finding these. Avent leaked while we shook the bottles to mix the formula and then our son leaked rivers of milk CONSTANTLY while feeding from them. The Dr. Brown's didn't leak while mixing, but a dribbling problem persisted. With these though, not only do they not leak while mixing, but the dribbling problem has almost entirely disappeared! (We're down to a little milk around his mouth occasionally, but that's it.) It is SO nice not to have to be constantly interrupting his feeding to stop rivers of milk from running down his neck. We are all much happier! Also, our son appears to have fewer burps and spit-ups with these bottles. If our experience is any indication, these bottles are worth every penny.
