I'm using Dr. Brown's bottles and so far, so good! The Medela ones weren't working well for us. I've had a couple leak issues with Dr B, but you just have to make sure the top is on REAL tight!
I have a question for those ladies whose LO only poops once a day, what color is it? M goes once a day and it seems like the beginning poop is a green color but turns yellow mustard seed when she's finished. Dr. Google says this is normal but I would like to know if you guys are experiencing something similar before I call her Ped.

O's is usually all green, but sometimes has yellow mixed in. The pedi said to only worry if it's white, black, or red!
shahoi thank you, all of my experience with infants comes from my niece and nephew and they were little poop factories. I didn't even know it was normal for some babies to go once a day until I had my own.

So, I bought one Dr. brown and one Tommiee Tippee (the kind to prevent grassiness) today. I haven't used them yet, but I cleaned and sterilized the parts- wow, lots of "stuff" to clean! Do you find the Dr. browns to be a pain to wash?

I don't think the Dr Browns are too bad to wash. I did convince H to let me buy another pack since we only have 3 so I don't have to wash them quite as often.

We use the Dr. Brown bottles too. They do take a little longer to wash but it's not too bad. I like the nipple on them better than the Medela ones right now, baby girl has a mild tongue tie and the wider base of the Medela nipple seems harder for her to get a good seal on.
I had no idea how much I would be focused on poop until after having the baby. I actually called our health hot line because I was so worried about the poop being too runny. The nurse told me it was fine and then about half an hour later my lactation consultant called me and I asked her as well and she told me the same thing.
I find it hard to find information because right now I'm still using both formula and trying the breast.

Hello! I mostly FF my twins They are 4.5 weeks.
They get about 75% formula and I pump the other 25%. I can't keep up with them with Breastmilk. We use Dr. Brown's glass bottles and really like them. There are a lot of parts but I do think they help with gas
They eat all day and vary between 2 hour-3.5 hour stretches. They eat between 2-4oz (sometimes baby girl takes little "snack" feedings of 30-45ml).
At night they go between 2-4 hours and eat 2-3oz.
Baby girl poops several times a day and farts all the time lol. She is very hard to burp: Baby boy doesn't poop as much and seems to struggle. He goes once a day typically. He also has a harder time passing gas. We are going to start gas drops.
Both have been doing well with growth/weight gain. Baby girl was born at 7lb1oz and dropped down to 6lbs9oz. At her 1 month appointment she was 8lbs11oz. Baby boy was born at 6lbs11ox and dropped down to 6lbs3oz. At his 1 month appointment he was 9lbs! I'm so thankful for formula!!
