I also wasn't a fan of the bottom having to be twisted on correctly to be able to work.</p> <p>We are now using Tommee Tippee and love them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-31108 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 05:31:15 +0000 looch 31108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've used Avent, I like them because they don't have a lot of parts and they are sold in our local grocery store, so if I need to replace nipples, I can do it during our weekly shop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30830 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 19:43:59 +0000 photojane 30830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>another vote for ventaire! I nanny for my 3-month old nephew who is strictly on formula, and those bottles are a dream. every single piece comes off, and takes no time to clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30821 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 19:36:30 +0000 cupcakemama 30821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: we use avent and quite like them, as does LO. Easy to clean too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30809 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 19:25:28 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 30809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love glass bottles so I got Chicco Glass bottles. I love them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30759 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 17:27:18 +0000 heffalump 30759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pelikila: Thanks, I'll keep that in mind! I worry that she won't take to just any new bottle we give her.... so we might end up having to try a few. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30755 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 17:26:27 +0000 heffalump 30755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@owlmom: We actually already have those. They told me to get them when I was having breastfeeding issues. But you're right, they're hard to clean. Plus they're harder to eat out of and she quickly got way too lazy for them once she tried the drop ins we're using now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30746 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 17:08:34 +0000 pelikila 30746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you don't love the ventaire bottles you might consider the MAM bottles. I love the MAM anti-colic bottles. There are 5 parts total but it super easy to clean and put together. No small parts to scrub. A bottle brush is totally unnecessary with those bottles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30745 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 17:08:10 +0000 owlmom 30745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the first years breastflow bottles. I feel pretty 'meh' about them and recommend avoiding them. They're definitely a pain to clean because they have a double nipple. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30744 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 17:06:34 +0000 heffalump 30744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sold! I'll buy a couple of the ventaire to make sure she likes them.</p> <p>Thanks for the advice ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30740 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:56:01 +0000 Andrea 30740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I would recommend for you to switch to ventaire as well. We used the drop ins at home and the ventaire when we went out. They are very easy to clean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30695 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:08:14 +0000 polkadots 30695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I worked at a daycare before baby so I've used alot of different bottles with the babies there, and this playtex bottle was by far my favorite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30694 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:07:33 +0000 prettylizy 30694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Although I have nothing to base this on other than what people suggested to me, we're going to try the Tommee Tippee bottles. I've heard they're easy to clean and good for switching from bottle to boob and back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30691 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:06:03 +0000 heffalump 30691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovelife: I was just looking at those online. I think that might be good for us because she takes a playtex bottle now, so hopefully she wouldn't have an issue switching to that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30677 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:59:22 +0000 polkadots 30677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we use the playtex ventaire advanced.. short bottles. I like them and so does baby. They are easy to clean because you can take the bottle apart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30676 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:58:43 +0000 chopsuey 30676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: i loved Dr. Brown's. They're not difficult to clean at all! It comes with a little cleaner for the blue air vent. It's a bit of a pain because there are 4 different parts you need to clean (bottle, nipple, air vent, another part i forget what it does), but it reduces the amount of air your LO takes in and decreases chances of colic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30675 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:58:20 +0000 mekarual 30675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter only gets a bottle a couple of times a week, but she seems to really like the Avent bottles. They are easy to clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30666 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:55:18 +0000 Green Thumb 30666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard Dr.Brown bottles are amazing. I guess they reduce the amount of air. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30665 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:55:09 +0000 heffalump 30665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Did you like them? I heard they're hard to clean. If you couldn't tell by my current disposable liner system... I'm lazy when it comes to cleaning bottles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30659 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:53:37 +0000 chopsuey 30659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Dr. Brown's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottles-1#post-30655 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 15:52:46 +0000 heffalump 30655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are looking for a new bottle. We currently use drop ins and I'm sick of wasting so much plastic. I think it was good when she was a newborn because we didn't have as much time to clean them, but now I'd like something more environmentally friendly. I know that it will depend on what she likes, but do you have any suggestions? </p>
