Easy to clean bottles with minimal parts?

    @babypugs: @kiddosc: I really like the idea of something simple and cheap like this too! I just feel like I want something basic and simple.

    @SweetCaroline: @travellingnanny: yes I see that point too. Its something to consider for sure. But is it so bad if they are being recycled? (Not a smart ass question, an honest question).

    @travelingnanny: @SweetiePie: I have the same question but didn't want to sound snarky either! And--at some point does the decreased water consumption (due to less washing) help "make up" for the manufacture/reuse of the plastic?

    @SweetCaroline: I wondered the same thing about the water. But also didn't want to sound snarky. Haha. But it's something I really wondered. If the liners are recycled and less water is being used, is it really so bad? But I'm not an environmentalist so I don't know the true answer. I just recycle the sh*t out of everything. 😂

    We also used and loved the Playtex Drop-Ins! The Playtex nipples were great, too - one of the only nipples that wasn't too fast for DS (and we tried a bunch).

    DS1 had Dr Browns but DS2 I got to take Mam after I got sick of the Dr Browns leaking. Both my kids had reflux so a venting bottle with a slower flow was important. I liked the MAM bottles a lot. Still had some an extra part (a rubber gasket at the bottom of the bottle) but super easy to clean and put together and it's made to sterilize in the microwave on its own (you just put the parts and nipple inside the bottle, throw the lid on top, and nuke for 90 seconds.

    I really wanted Avent to work (it was my registry set) but the flow was just too fast for my babes. I hated the Nik bottles and the Playtex ones were also too fast and my kids didn't like the nipple.

    I really liked my avent natural bottles - 3 parts, easy to clean, glass and plastic options (I like glass, but plastic is lighter for on the go), easy to find everywhere, in case you need to run out and buy a bottle in an emergency.

    I really liked the Avent ones, the honey colored bottle system has fewer parts than the clear bottle.

    I used drop ins when we travelled, I'd portion out the formula powder in the bag, then rolled them up and popped them in a container. Probably looked like other cargo, lol, but we never had a problem with them.

    My Avents were great and Tommee Tippee also clean up well- I put a mixture of vinegar and water for 5 mins or so and that always cleared out the milk residue. The dishwasher almost made things worse.

    Loved the Tommee Tippee bottles - 4 parts including the cap, no weird crevices for milk/formula to get into. They were super easy to wash by hand, or throw in the dishwasher.
