what bottles????

[amberj]

Here is an idea for you that worked for me: before Peter was born I was pretty confused about the whole bottle thing too. I bought most everything for him off eBay and while I was on there I searched for bottles. I found a lady selling about 8 different types of pretty much brand new bottles/ teats (she bought a whole range of bottles for her child but ended up BFing or going straight to sippy cup or something). Anyhow, I bought them for a great price and then had a range to try- DS liked the Nuk ones so we stuck with those.

Not sure if that was a one-off great buy or if there are others similar out there, but its worth a look!

I've been a bottle-holic since DD was born, particularly once I became aware of the BPA issues.

Avent have a range of BPA free bottles out in Australia. I bought one at Toys r Us about 3-4 months ago. But like I read on the US sites, they leak and a lot worse than the standard Avent bottles.

I've ended up going with the MAM bottles as well. Apart from having to pull apart six pieces, the bottles are really good quality and DD has no problems with the teats.

I also tried the Nuby BPA free bottles that look like the Tommee Tippee close to nature bottles and have the same teat (Nuby and Tommee Tippee are now apparently the same company). And the Nuk glass bottles, which are just way to heavy.

We use Medela which are also BPA free and fit quite a few other brands of teats - happy baby and nuk so far have fitted...

Oh thanks all for your help
Fluff-a-holic where did you buy your bottles from?

i have BPA free Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature bottles, even though it dosent say it on the box (no idea why), if you have a look at their website, they look totally dif to old Tommee Tippee CTN bottles (they are clear), because i have a few of them too. The new ones are soft flexi plastic and look like a milky white colour and not clear


We found that with the TT CTN bottles the flow is quiet fast for a NB, even though it was # 1 teat, he would gulp air because it was too fast for him.
So we used Dr Browns Wide Neck, they are awesome, best thing out, specially if you have a very windy bubba, he was so much better once we used these, even though now we use TT CTN bottles , mostly coz he likes to hold his own bottle and prefers them now, he can bring wind up really easy now.
