Baby Products Reviews of Playtex Premium Nurser Newborn Gift Set
Customer Review: Perfect bottle if you are nursing exclusively
Summary: 5 Stars
I am nursing exclusively and my baby refuses bottles. My doctor recommended the Playtex system. It really imitates the breast, plus, the disposable linings and the freezing kit are very convenient and easy to use.Customer Review: Loved it
Summary: 4 Stars
Easy to clean. Easy for the baby to hold (and for mom too). Nice sizes/variety. Perfect for when I had to go back to work and leave my breasfed baby in daycare. The only thing is that I(my baby too)prefer the rubber nipple over the silicone trasparent ones.Customer Review: THE best choice for bottle feeding
Summary: 5 Stars
Not only do the Playtex Drop-Ins system make your new-mom life sooo much easier (easy to use and especially with your one free hand, easy clean up-no need to spend hours sterilizing bottles), they also alleviate the possibility of baby taking in too much gas/air like regular bottles do (which is very important as most newborns tend to be fussy from gas), and they are FREE OF BISPHENOL A, which is a polycarbonate that leaches out of plastic when heated. Most major bottle manufacturers use plastic that contain bisphenol a.
Though people say the Drop Ins system is pricey- it's well worth it for baby's safety and health, and your precious time as a new mom.
This is by far the ONLY thing that I recommend to new moms.
Customer Review: Great for the breastfeeding mom
Summary: 5 Stars
I find these to be quite convenient for giving my baby breastmilk from the bottle. With the Playtex One-Step storage system, I pump directly into the liner and stick it in the fridge, and then I can pop it in a nurser when it's time to feed. My husband and other caregivers are quite glad at the ease of putting it all together when they're juggling a crying baby.
As advice to others, I wonder whether the original nurser gift set might be better, because it comes with multiple different kinds of nipples, whereas this set only comes with the silicone slow flow. We've lucked out, in that my baby seems happy with it and switches easily from breast to bottle and vice versa; however, it might have been handy to be able to try different kinds to see which the babe likes best. The shells in this set are more modern looking, but I can't see how that matters. I'm pretty sure the pieces for both are interchangeable. Nice that the silicone nipples in this set (and all the other pieces; latex nipples are less hardy) are dishwasher safe, and can be repeatedly boiled for sterilization if desired.
The short shells in this set are fine, and it's easier to reach in the bottom to squish the liner with your fingers (to help it collapse; the drop-in liners are relatively more shape-holding than regular liners, so they can suck in air), but usually my baby has more than 4 oz at a sitting; in the 8oz size shell, the burper is nice (it's hard to reach in when the liner is less full), but it doesn't squish the liner all the way, so we end up taking off the shell and using our fingers for the last 2 oz or so. I have never had any problem with leaking.
I like the disposable bit of this system, since the nipples, collars, and lids take up enough space and cleaning effort without having a bunch of bottles around as well. Liners are pricy if you use a lot (about $5 for 50 at Walgreens), but since we only use a bottle a day, it doesn't seem like much. They also freeze easily. This set came with one adapter for a breast pump (I use an Ameda Purely Yours, and they fit together perfectly), and the One-Step comes with another, so I can use the double pumping without buying any other pieces. Overall, I'm very happy with this set.
Customer Review: Best System!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have bought this set for a gift, but also received it as a gift myself (from my registry). Although my daughter is two and a half now, I would recommend the Playtex nursers to everyone! They are sanitary and do cause less gas than conventional bottles. I definitely like the Drop-Ins liners better than the traditional ones... from a convenience standpoint, paired with the fact that they work so well with the breast milk storage system.
I'm not planning on any more children, but I don't dare part with these bottles yet. They are stored in my basement for future use, either my myself or family members. They also helped make the transition from breast to bottle to sippy cup a breeze!
