Baby Products Reviews of Thinkbaby Twin Pack Baby Bottles, Orange, 2 Pack, 9 Ounce
Customer Review: Takes some getting used to... but worth it
Summary: 4 Stars
We have twin daughters and have been using these bottles for about three weeks. After trying to decide between these and the Born Free, which we also purchased two of, we decided to use these the majority of the time.
One of the other reviewers is correct, there is a technique to using these bottles. The milk does come flying out when you turn it upside down and you're better off introducing it to your baby in more of a horizontal fashion until they start sucking. Once their sucking equalizes the pressure inside the bottle, it really does come out in just a drip. On first use when one of my daughters took a pause from sucking, I wondered why milk was not filling up her mouth and dribbling out. When I pulled it out of her mouth I saw just a drip... drip... drip. That said, I wouldn't recommend it for a newborn who is just learning the breathe/suck/swallow pattern. The flow does start off fast at first and it would be difficult for them to keep up long enough to equalize the pressure. But our 3.5 mo. old daughters have had no trouble. The venting system is unique and appears to work. We get one big burp after each feeding and that seems to be enough. And after using Dr. Brown's for so long (with our first daughter and now the twins), it is nice to no longer have a lot of parts to clean and keep track of!
Now for the obligatory list of pros and cons...
Pros:
1. Obviously... BPA free.
2. Unique venting system that works.
3. Contemporary design, comfortable to hold.
4. Not a lot of parts to keep track of.
5. The company is very prompt about returning emails regarding questions and product suggestions. I had an answer to mine within 6 hours and they are very receptive to suggestions.
Cons:
1. Fast flow initially.
2. No instruction leaflet included.
3. Flow levels are not marked on the nipples - I bought some medium flow nipples along with my initial purchase (they come with "slow flow") and quickly discovered there's no way to tell which is which other than on the packaging. So you have to just remember which ones you put where... not an easy task in a busy household.
4. There is no way to cap the bottle for storage other than to cover the bottle with the nipple and the clear travel cap that goes on top of it. AND you can't shake the bottle when it's full without covering the nipple with your finger. Putting the travel cap on over the nipple doesn't do the trick -- you end up with a travel cap full of milk.
As far as how I feel about these compared to the Born Free, the Born Frees are more expensive (to the point of almost gouging you) and their nipples are much softer. They may be too soft but on the plus side they do deliver milk in a dripping fashion instead of the initial stream of these, which may be preferable to some people. There are also added parts to keep track of (5 in all) but that's no big deal to anyone used to dealing with Dr. Brown's.
We have not had ANY problems with nipple collapse with either brand -- and we do a lot of feeding! However, on the Think Baby bottles the vent extends down into the bottle... and its placement is very close to the outside edge. If you're not careful it could get caught up in the threads while you're screwing it on. Maybe this is what is happening when other reviewers said they had collapsing problems.
Finally, it's worth noting that the plastic that ALL of the BPA-free bottles are made of could shatter when dropped much easier than standard BPA-laced polycarbonate. It is noticeably thinner and it will be interesting to see how long this type of plastic holds up.
In the end, we're happy with these bottles.
