I use them for my 4 month old. The reason I decided they were worth the money is that you can attach different tops to them once you are no longer needing them as baby bottles. They have sippy caps, and regular seal caps as well. Also, every bottle has a silicone cover - the Born Free glass bottles dont have a cover for every bottle which seems silly.

My son goes to daycare and needs 3 bottles there, so we bought 6. Expensive, but a good investment in my sanity. As I work and I'm tired at night and a little lazy on occasion, I didnt want to have to worry about washing them immediately every single day. Now we have 2 sets to swap and always a few in the cabinet just in case. I plan on doing the same for the 9 oz bottles.

Also, I use the Dr. Browns nipples - waaaay better than the LifeFactory ones. Level P at first and now Level 1 (Im BFing and heard that the P's are closer to the nipple at first)

my only gripe is that I try to keep them upright when they are full. I've had them leak once or twice which kinda sucks. But the pros outweigh that con for me.

@Mrs D: just an FYI - make sure your DCP will use them - ours didn't allow glass

@menageriemama - that sucks! ill make sure to take a look at my fridge when i get home now that you mention it.

@mrsd - i dont, but thats b/c i currently do not have a dishwasher in my apartment. (brutal) but you can definitely do it.

@anniefannie: yeah definitely. I still think they're a great idea but was so soured after that I wouldn't risk it! Stupid freezer shelves. Now we have a fridge with a pull out freezer door which I think would be perfect.

We started with them. Planned on exclusively breastfeeding, then had major BFing failure. Ended up trying to make the LF bottles work in the middle of the night, without much success.

Without Googling, I am wondering if they have different nipples? If so (or if you can use another nipple (like Dr. Brown's premie nipple)), I would recommend a super-low flow, which will mimic the breast.

I did love them for prepping formula in the early days (because we boiled it, and I liked glass vs. plastic for storage).

We ended up using Dr. Browns bottles, mostly, but if you can make LF work, I bet it's so much easier, especially since they have so many less parts.

Absolutely love them! We have (2) 4oz and (1) 9oz. Going to buy another 9oz one soon though. Super easy to clean...You can put every part into the dishwasher (Although I wash the nipples by hand) I have stage 1 and stage 2 nipples (the stage 2 came with the 9oz bottle) They also have sippy cup attachments that I will try once DD uses them all of the time! Shop around online, prices definitely vary by retailer. Highly recommend.
