susancollins Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I breastfeed all three of my children. I used Dr. Browns for my first two and Advent for my third child. I was wondering if anyone has tried the Born Free Bottles. I found them on sale 50% and I was going to buy some. I didn't save any of my bottle from last children and I want to buy bottles that are BPA free and reasonably priced. Thanks in advance for suggestions :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommaduck Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I've done Dr Brown's, Avent, and the Playtex ones that were shaped more like a breast. Off to check out this new one ;) (never heard of it before now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I used the platex nursers a whole lot with mine, but I have no Idea whether they were BPA free or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) When I researched it, I decided on Breastflow bottles. The nipples require both suction and compression for the milk to come out, so it's more like breasfeeding. I've been happy with them, but I've only had to use them a few times. They're a bit more of a pain to clean since there's a double nipple. My guy was happy to use them then go back to the breast, but we didn't try it for the first time until he was five months. ETA - They're BPA free Edited February 25, 2011 by Annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemongoose Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I second the breastflow. I used Avent before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristinaBreece Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 We used Adiri Natural Nurser bottles with DD. But she still definitely preferred the breast. (Which was a bog shock for us, since DS never caught onto actually nursing. 6 months of exclusively pumping.... ugh.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Are the Breastflow the ones from First Years? Those were the ones I had my eye on, I think. I have to go back to work when babe is 4-6 wks old, so I really want something that will allow easy back-and-forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamom Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I used Advent to supplement ds for six months and is didn't interfere with nursing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. :) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001R1SOSG/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000BK8RHM&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=020TVYBZVQN3W10FKPGT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tearose Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Here's something I found from my state's lactation consultant association that might be useful: http://www.walc.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/BOTTLE-NIPPLES-FOR-THE-BREASTFED-BABY-Gima-0509.pdf I will say, though, that I occasionally used Avent bottles with my DS and never had the biting problems mentioned in the link. For my next, though, I might try out some of the ones recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 The only ones my breastfed babies will take is the Nuk ones, with the orthopedic nipple. I tried EVERYTHING else. Oddly enough my mom says it was the only one I would take too, when I was a baby. The wide ones they make now are very much like the breast. I've had zero latch issues and nursed the first one until 3 years and the second one is still going strong at a year. Katie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommymilkies Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I am having surgery next month, so I bought the Breastflow ones for while I'm back in the OR. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punchie Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I used Dr. Brown w/my first and Born Free w/my second. Neither had nipple confusion or problems sucking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I used Advent 16 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
