Customer Review: Finally! A bottle that works after trying EVERYTHING else.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried everything on the market - no kidding. My son is ten weeks old. We found it hard to find a bottle that was 'just right'. I first spent a fortune on Avent bottles (sterilizer and other accessories, too), buying various sized nipples and bottles, including the disposable model. The nipples are just way TOO HARD for a baby to suck on, especially younger ones. Even the new 'softer nipples' are really hard and just to firm for babies to suck on without a major effort. He would scream for three hours after each feeding and spit up everything he managed to eat. He choked frequently, despite the smallest sized nipple opening. They leaked on occasion if the ring was overtighted. It helps to wet the nipple and ring before assembling which may be hard to do when traveling.
We then tried Gerber bottles which are similar to what hospitals use, but he was very gassy afterwards. This became a problem since the gas also caused him to spit up some - never as much as the Avent though.
Next we tried the Playtex nursers which were the best we'd found so far at that point. The latex nipples cannot be sterilized, which I found out after the holes in the nipples expanded and an excessive amount of milk produced feeding disasters. I tried the silicone ones, but they were not as soft and pliable. He also had a bit of a hard time adapting to these bigger, widder nipples, a more natural breast-like shape. Since he had never been breast fed, this was a challenge for him.
I then tried the Doctor Brown bottles. So far, this has been the best system I've found. Money was not an object so long as I could feed him successfully. The extra parts are somewhat time consuming to wash, but not really a big deal. We were spending more time cleaning spit up and doing additional laundry with the other bottles, so in the end, it's not a big deal - not to mention trying to comfort a screaming baby for hours on end.
I purchased the 4oz and 8oz slim bottles as well as the 9oz wide mouth model. I noticed that the Dr. Brown nipples have larger holes compared to the other models and he was getting way to much milk which would cause him to spit up from time to time. I then found that Dr. Brown also makes Premie sized nipples so I purchased these and used them instead of the size 2 nipple which is what the manufacturer recommends for a baby his age. This solved the problem instantly! The Premie size nipple flow is equivalent to the Playtex Slow Flow nipples. I am saving the size 1 and 2 for when he gets older.
I love the ergonomic design of the wide mouth Dr. Brown bottles, however they don't make Premie nipples for this particular bottle. I do use it, however for night time feedings when I add a small amount of cereal to my son's milk. The size 1 flow works great for this (this is the size that follows the Premie size and what is included with all the Dr. Brown bottles sold).
Mixing the formula took a bit of practice. I first pour the water and then add the formula. I keep an iced-tea spoon nearby, which is a smaller sized spoon with a longer handle used for mixing iced tea in tall glasses. This fits perfectly into the bottle. I stir it quickly but carefully since you don't want any excess bubbles. I found the formula tends to stick to the bottom of the bottle and sides so I make sure to check for clumps before I feed him. Swirling the milk in the bottle also does the trick for smaller amounts.
We are all VERY happy with the Dr. Brown bottles. Having tried just about everything on the market and spending a significant amount of money, I highly recommend these.
