Baby Products Reviews of Playtex BPA Free Drop-Ins Premium Decorated Nurser 4 oz - 3 Pack (Colors Vary)
Customer Review: Best bottle
Summary: 5 Stars
My LO had horrible gas issues from the start. We went through avent, ventaire advanced, evenflo glass, evenflo plastic, evenflo comfi, etc. Finally I had enough and decided to try these out. It's made him a new baby and even a better burper! They're very easy to use (the bonus of not having to actually clean the bottle), great for travel, no leaks, and the flow's are perfect for him.
Mixing formula is a little tedious but worth it with liners. Now that LO doesn't drink enough for 2 batches of formula I've started to make individual bottles in advance. Since I don't trust the measurements on the bottle I have to use a glass bottle for the water. When I would heat the bottles I would place a bowl of water in the microwave, heat that, and then let the bottle stand in the bowl for a few minutes and shake (running water never worked). In the beginning it was also tricky to see how much LO was actually eating-- with the 4oz bottles you could unscrew the top but now that the big bottles make the expandable liners it's a bit of a guessing game.
My only con's are that I wish they would still make the regular 8oz liners rather than the expandable but I can't find them anywhere. And it would have been nice to have 6oz bottles instead of 4! I bought 11 4oz bottles since LO was eating 12 times a day. He only stayed with 4oz for about the first 2wks and then increased himself and the bottles were completely useless. :( He's already eating 8oz and he's not 3 months yet (he's a bigger baby). Thankfully we can still use the extra rings and nipples and the smaller bottles work for the baby juice he has to have.
I recommend these to all of my friends that are expecting now.
Customer Review: Tried so many and this is what worked best for us.
Summary: 4 Stars
I have tried so many bottles. Really, Avent, Soothie, Mam, Ventaire, Dr. Browns, Gerber, Evenflo, and Born Free: from the cheapest to some of the most expensive.
These are not perfect but they are what worked the best.
Pros:
-wide nipple, baby preferred
-cleaned easily
-had few parts
-could be warmed in a bottle warmer or hot water
-didn't need special tricks to keep from leaking
Cons:
-had to buy liners
-measurements could be better
I got over buying the liners in two ways: I started recycling my liners and I started using the Playtex flat liners available here on Amazon which helped the cost a lot. I can buy 5 months supple of liners (5 bottles a day) for less than $30 shipped/taxed.
The measurements are still not great but since I premix every day's formula in a large pitcher the night before, I don't have to have the exact measurements. I know now from practice at about where on the liners the milk needs to go.
Customer Review: The Best Baby Feeding System
Summary: 5 Stars
Do yourself a favor and get these Playtex bottles to begin with. I started with Avent bottles (because Avent also offers sterilizers, bottle warmers, etc....) But Avent bottles were AWFUL. They leaked and it was impossible to screw the lids on correctly. So I got Dr. Brown bottles. They were pretty good and they didn't leak... but it was a big hassle to wash (it takes forever to wash so many little parts with the tiny brush they give you). So I switched to Playtex after finding out that it offered BPA-free disposable liners. I am so happy I switched. It doesn't leak! And my life is so much easier since all I have to do is wash the nipples.... and the baby likes it.Customer Review: So Easy and Affordable
Summary: 5 Stars
The easiest bottle ever and at an afforable price. The drop-in liners are a blessing when you're always in a rush (like me). The nipples come in three sizes (slow, medium and fast flow) so you can use these bottles as your baby gets older just by replacing the nipples. I bought a two-pack of fast-flow nipples for about $4.00. Replacement nipples and liners are available in many stores so they are easy to find. Target sells their own brand of 4 oz liners that are just as good as the Playtex brand, but cost less (about $4.00 for 100 count). Another great thing: the liners don't have to go in the garbage, they can go in your recycle bin instead.Customer Review: Shrinks when boiled for sterilizing
Summary: 2 Stars
Very very cute bottle but it has a huge flaw. I was instructed by my pediatrician to boil all nursing items for 20 minutes due to my daughter having recurring Thrush. I put this nurser in with other bottles my daughter had used that day because she touched the bottle repeatedly during feedings after having her hands in Thrush infested mouth. This nurser shrunk like a shrinky-dink! It shrunk to about 1/4 of it normal size. Strangest thing I have ever seen. Do not use/purchase this nurser/bottle if you boil your bottles to sterilize them due to you or your child being sick.
