But I really like the concept. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-one-bottle-system-or-try-multiple#post-2649144 Mon, 07 Nov 2016 12:11:51 +0000 snowjewelz 2649144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one - Avent. Took her a bit to get used to it, but I didn't try multiple bottles b/c I knew she was just stubborn and it wasn't about a bottle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-one-bottle-system-or-try-multiple#post-2648891 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 20:13:23 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2648891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought one brand and didn't give LO any options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-one-bottle-system-or-try-multiple#post-2648889 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 20:09:31 +0000 skinnycow 2648889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried pretty much everything and the only one she takes is avent natural. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-one-bottle-system-or-try-multiple#post-2648861 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 18:57:06 +0000 Bernieboo 2648861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought avent, Tommy tippee, and Dr Brown's. We started with the avent and M did fine with them, so we just bought more of those. We have a few tops and nipples for the medela bottles in a pinch. We ended up giving the Tommy tippee ones to my parents for when we're over there or they watch her and she's fine with those too. The Dr Brown's were an insane amount of parts, so I'm so relived she likes the avent, they're so easy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-one-bottle-system-or-try-multiple#post-2648787 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 14:13:34 +0000 lovehoneybee 2648787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We mostly use Medela with DD. I had a Medela pump, and she took to them just fine so we just went with it. Occasionally she'll use an Avent that we got as part of the Target registry gift box (I think?) and she takes that one okay, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-one-bottle-system-or-try-multiple#post-2648733 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 11:48:07 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2648733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for all the responses! It's helpful. I think I'll avoid buying just one system and get a couple to try. </p> <p>@Pumuckl: I hadn't heard of the calma! I looked it up and it looks great. I'll be trying that since I'll be pumping into medela bottles probably. Thanks! </p> <p>@My Only Sunshine: yeah we were lucky with DS. We had bought all dr browns and he liked them just fine so we never had to deal with anything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-one-bottle-system-or-try-multiple#post-2648717 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 10:56:49 +0000 Corduroy 2648717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried so many with LO1. It turned out to be more about not wanting a bottle than the differences between the bottles. I sent her to daycare with Medelas because I had those and they were simple. That's what she learned to take. I never offered LO2 anything but Medela. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-one-bottle-system-or-try-multiple#post-2648678 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 08:26:25 +0000 Smurfette 2648678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried so many. Tommee ended up being the most with the best luck. So we stuck with those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-one-bottle-system-or-try-multiple#post-2648628 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 06:34:16 +0000 Pumuckl 2648628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first we just used the medela bottles with the calma. My second wasn't haven't it so we used MAM anti-colic with her which were the only ones she drank from. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-one-bottle-system-or-try-multiple#post-2648627 Sun, 06 Nov 2016 06:31:22 +0000 ShootingStar 2648627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS we had a few bottle types but decided we liked the Avent naturals the best and got lots of those. </p> <p>Now with DD we had a lot of bottle refusal. We went to Buy Buy Baby one night and bought 3 different kinds to try. The one she took the best was really frustrating because it didn't vent well and the nipple kept collapsing. One I hated because it ha way too many parts and she refused it anyways. So we bought a bunch of her second favorite (playtex nursers). After a few days of daycare and no bottle refusal we started again with the Avents and she's had no problems. </p> <p>DH wants to stick with the Avent because we have a ton of them, but I have to say I like the playtex better. But I'm not sure I want to deal with two different bottle types. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-one-bottle-system-or-try-multiple#post-2648605 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 22:36:19 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2648605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: My first happened to take the kind we had been gifted- Playtex Ventair. My second refused bottles for quite a while. I ended up buying one of every kind of bottle they sell at Target and Walmart and trying all of them. Mam brand was the winner but they have a lot of parts. At 6 months old he drinks out of anything now. We primarily use Tommee Tippee and Nuk brand because they're fewer parts to wash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-one-bottle-system-or-try-multiple#post-2648593 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 21:35:42 +0000 Coffee-lover 2648593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried a couple different brands, but my daughter ended up liking the mam brand </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-one-bottle-system-or-try-multiple#post-2648591 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 21:32:48 +0000 mrsrain 2648591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had to try several to get one that DD could take. We ended up using Dr. Brown's. When DS was born he struggled with painful gas so we, again, tried several different ones trying to find something that would minimize air. We ended up using Dr. Brian's again, but this time with the premier nipple for slower flow. If LO isn't picky then I would go for whatever is easiest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-one-bottle-system-or-try-multiple#post-2648590 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 21:25:23 +0000 sapphire 2648590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a couple random bottles, but overall we used Medela. Easier to have parts that go all with one system. Medelas are simple without extra parts and are pump compatible, so they worked great for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-one-bottle-system-or-try-multiple#post-2648588 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 21:21:11 +0000 katsupgirl 2648588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily I just used one (playtex) for feeding. Using the same for LO2. I use the medela for pumping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-one-bottle-system-or-try-multiple#post-2648584 Sat, 05 Nov 2016 20:56:49 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2648584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We hardly had to use bottles with my first, I stayed home with him and when I was away, he was happy with the dr browns bottles we had.</p> <p>It seems so much more overwhelming this time! I work full time so I'll need bottles and all that. What were your/your baby's favorite bottles? Did you have to experiment to find one that worked with your baby? </p>
