Dh usually has to open them &amp; always ask me why I keep tightening it if I can't open it later;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tightly-do-you-tighten-your-babys-milk-bottles#post-505576 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:58:22 +0000 Andrea 505576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not tight, no leaks either. We use drop-ins so I don't think it really matters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tightly-do-you-tighten-your-babys-milk-bottles#post-505557 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:50:52 +0000 chopsuey 505557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tight enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tightly-do-you-tighten-your-babys-milk-bottles#post-505546 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:43:47 +0000 mrs. wagon 505546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do it pretty tightly but lately they've been popping off when you tighten it all the way! I think my medela bottles are getting a little too old...!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tightly-do-you-tighten-your-babys-milk-bottles#post-505346 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:24:47 +0000 T-Mom 505346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the instructions that came with my Born Free bottles said not to tighten it too tight or else it would interfere with the whole vent system, so we always just make it tight enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tightly-do-you-tighten-your-babys-milk-bottles#post-505283 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:01:28 +0000 SugarplumsMom 505283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate it when DH tightens her bottles so much. We use Comotomo and they're silicone all over so the whole thing just twists up when I try to open them. I also noticed that with our bottles, once you tighten them too much, I think the part around the rim contorts and the seal isn't the same without continuing to tighten them :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tightly-do-you-tighten-your-babys-milk-bottles#post-505276 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 11:58:30 +0000 Mrsbells 505276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tighten mine so tight that sometimes I struggle to open it myself!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tightly-do-you-tighten-your-babys-milk-bottles#post-505273 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 11:57:48 +0000 MaisyMay 505273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As tight as I can. Milk is gold and I don't want to lose any of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tightly-do-you-tighten-your-babys-milk-bottles#post-504861 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 09:18:38 +0000 autumnlove 504861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty tight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tightly-do-you-tighten-your-babys-milk-bottles#post-504802 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 08:49:53 +0000 T.H.O.U. 504802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our gerber bottles actually leaked if you put them on too tight! Sounds odd, but it needed a bit of air escape! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tightly-do-you-tighten-your-babys-milk-bottles#post-504796 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 08:45:53 +0000 mrbee 504796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a few leaks early on, so I tighten them up a lot! Mrs. Bee is not a fan... she says I tighten them too much and that it's hard to get the tops off of the bottles I've tightened. She has a point, but I always forget to tighten it a little less. I'm just so worried about leaks!</p> <p>How tightly do you tighten your baby's milk bottles? </p>
