I need to order some new bottles to use with the kids I work with. What do you recommend? I don't really want to go the dr. Brown route bc they are expensive and have a million parts, but I do like dr. Brown nipples. suggestions?!

I use medela bottles and dr. Brown nipples for N.

We switched from dr browns to these ones by evenflo. They're inexpensive and seem to work great so far!

We use tommee tipee. Seems to be fine and doesn't have a million parts. DS used born free, but that did have more little pieces to clean.

We use Dr. Brown's. Mine hated any other alternative I gave them so I just gave up when we moved from the 4 oz bottles to the 8 oz bottles. I'll just be cleaning a zillion pieces forever.

I bought Playtex Ventaire, Evenflo and Avent for Cora. I ended up using the $1 a pop Parent's Choice bottles from Walmart. They're simple, they never leak, and they're easy to clean.

I use the Dr. Browns and still use the preemie nipples. I tried a few other brands but they made her more gassy than the Dr. Brown ones. I guess all those vent parts do something

I think I've basically bought every single type of bottle. We stuck with Dr Brown's and Avent. I like the avent bottles a little more because of the fewer pieces bit.

DS had trouble with the nipples on the tommee tipee bottles. They were too floppy and he ended up making a giant mess until he got it into his mouth.

We use the Joovy Boob bottles - they are also expensive, but we got a set for over 50% off. N doesn't get a bottle very often at this point (maybe once week), but we they seem to work well!

We use the nubys. DD likes them and not a lot of parts to clean.

Avent naturals Amazon had really good sales on the 2 packs of 8oz bottles pretty frequently.

We use the Avent Naturals with the 1 nipple, since they recommend slow flow for breastfed babies. I had a sample and she liked it fine, so I got more on Amazon. She's only taken a few bottles so far, but she'll start them at daycare when I go back to work. They're easy to clean and not too pricey.

We use Munchkin Latch. We tried three different ones (dr. Brown and Nuk), and the Munchkin Latch were her favorite. I just bought an adapter for the medela pump so I can pump directly into the Latch bottles when I'm back at work so I'm excited to see how that works.

The only bottle I've gotten my kids to drink from is the Lasinoh Momma bottles. I think it's because the nipple is a softer material so it feels more like a real nipple. I have a ton of Tommee Tippee bottles and a couple Munchkin Latch, but those were a no-go.

Both my kids have used the Playtex drop-ins. DH is anal and washes the liners to reuse even though they're meant to be disposable, lol. We love the convenience of them and they're super easy to clean (no little or hard to clean parts).

My sister used these drop ins. She never washed them but funny enough when she babysat Alex she suggested I wash the milk storage bags. Ummm, I'll pass on that.

We used the Avent bottles with DS1 and 2. We had a few Dr. Brown's a friend had given me, but we got sick of washing all the parts real quick. We use either the Avent or ones that came with my Spectra pump when D gets a bottle.

We also use the playtex drop-ins. I feel bad with all the waste it creates, but not needing to wash a million parts a day has saved my sanity.
