Baby Products Reviews of Thinkbaby Twin Pack Baby Bottles, Orange, 2 Pack, 9 Ounce
Customer Review: super disappointement :(
Summary: 1 Stars
I was in love with these bottles (the look & appearance) after searching for 2 days online for a chemical(etc.) free bottle.
I decided on these. I ordered and they were shipped in a reasonable amount of time. I was so excited about them, they style, the look, the whole thing about NO LEAKS, NO COLLAPSABLE nipple, and the wide neck opening...
So first I cleaned and sterilized a bottle and nipple and notice that the smallest size nipple hole was huge(bigger then the current stage 3 nipple from dr. browns)but none the less I fixed a bottle and right off the bat, they were leaking the cap that comes with these bottles are not what is shown in the picture or on the box. it is a plain cap that does NOT prevent leaking, so I proceeded to fix the bottle and feed my 6 month son . 2 sucks and the nipple collapses!!! so i pulled the bottle out and started again..... over and over and over!!! :( I put the larger size nipple in which was just HUGE compared to what he was using and it was coming out too fast but anytime he would get a few sucks in it was collapsing too! So now I have $100.00 worth of bottles sitting on my counter that leak and my son can not drink out of ! I am so disappointed I emailed the company , got a return phone call, which was nice.
Except he said that my son must be a super strong sucker because he has never had that complaint and that he would send me some new nipples that are Y- cut soon as they are finished making them. They werent quite out yet.
I am going to return these bottles ASAP and hope to get a refund!
I would never recommend or even think of using these bottles again.

My son is 7 mos old and I work full time. For the first 6 mos. we used Avent bottles when he was not nursing - he was using stage 4. I don't know how I missed the BPA issue for 6 mos. but when I heard, I immediately switched to a BPA free bottle. We just tried ThinkBaby. I love the way they look and that they are BPA free but, in sharp contrast to others' reviews, I have found the medium flow nipple to be a very slow flow (I orded the medium flow cross cut). My son latches on easily and doesn't seem to have any gas but the slow flow frustrates him and it takes quite a while for him to eat 6 ounces. I think that the company has changed the size and type of holes in the nipples since some of these reviews were written, so I would suggest buying the size appropriate for your baby's age. As for the leaking, I've not experienced that at all. I've shook the full bottle, turned it upside down without a single drip. All in all, it seems like a good bottle. Just waiting on the level 3 nipples to be sure.Customer Review: Leaky Nipples - Not as Pictured
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought these bottles because of their special plastic and anti-colic claims. What a diasapointment. Despite the slow flow nipples the flow is way too fast and my son can't keep up. Just tipping the bottle makes milk comes flowing out the nipple before you can even get it in the baby's mouth. Then, when my son would suck on it, he'd choke after two sucks. We never even made it past this stage after multiple attempts. Also, the cap pictured in the image is not the lid that came with my bottle. There is no yellow portion at the top of the lid to keep the milk from spilling, just a plain bottle cap. Considering the nipple leaking issue, I'd be hardpressed to take these anywhere, even if my kid would drink out of them. It's too bad the bottles are such a pain because the BPA-free, phalate-free etc plastic is ideal, but not very helpful your kid can't drink from them.Customer Review: Love them!

I am surprised to read these reviews. I haven't experienced any problems with leaky nipples or even to fast of a flow. My son is 3 months and we were using Avent. This was a very easy switch for him. The nipples didn't even drip when turned over and I decided to use the stage 1 nipple it came with, he drank easily and slow and steady. He had barely any spit up, and he was spitting up w/ everything else all the time. I did just get them so maybe I have the new nipples the company had told a few people were coming out, they are cross cut nipples but noting even drips out when turned upside down. I love these and so does my son. The only complaint I have is the same as another complained about and that is the cap isn't the one shown on the box and it doesn't fit very tightly so it could be an issue if you travel with full bottles.Customer Review: Great Bottle
Summary: 5 Stars
My newborn seemed to be choking and gagging using Dr. Brown bottles (she was using the slowest flow). I decided to try Thinkbaby and have been impressed. Most of the time, she doesn't even need a bib because she is sucking formula down and not letting it spill out of her mouth. She can get a really good suction going with these nipples. I did experience the inverted nipple and bending sideways nipple, and finally figure out how to correct. It was frustrating at first, but when this happens I just unscrew the top - the air sucks in and the nipple straightens out without any problem. I don't touch the nipple. It doesn't happen all the time, so I don't know why it happens, but it is easy to fix. Over all, I love these bottles and my newborn is feeding much better.
