Does anyone have any feedback on Mam bottles? My LO won't outright refuse a bottle, but she's no so great with taking them either. We've been using Nuk or the Medela nipple that came with my pump, but I'm wondering about Mam considering she takes their pacis.
Thoughts?

I don't know about MAM but have you tried Tommee Tippee? They seem very much like real nipples to me (other than being rubber...) and my LO gets much less air with them.

Mam was the only bottle that worked for our bottle striker. I have nothing but good things to say, though my husband doesn't like that it has so many parts. I look at them and think "These saved our lives".

@mediagirl: Haven't tried TT's but love the idea of them! I'm just worried I'll spend the $ and she wont take them any better. Did you try other brands first or go straight to them?
@Mrs. Jacks: Did you LOs take pacis and or Mam pacis? I'm wondering if that link could make these a success for us. Glad to hear someone has had success, they seem to have good reviews.

We use them and we love them...except for all the parts to clean!

@LAGS: we didn't have a bottle strike but we had air problems with two other types of bottles - Avent and the yellow Medela ones that came with my pump. I found 2 TT bottles at TJ Maxx for $9 last week. I know all TJ Maxx stores have different stock but it might not hurt to look and try!

My LO is hit or miss with pacis (MAM when she does take them), but we use the mOmma bottles and love them! The shape is a bit of a pain to carry around, but they're super easy to clean and they've never caused gas problems.

I love MAM. I actually liked how they disassembled too because they were way easier to clean than others that had few parts (less disassembly). My son only took MAM pacis so we tried their bottles when he wouldn't take others we had and it worked like a charm.

Thanks everyone! I figured they're worth a shot so I got a couple, also couldn't resist the TJ Maxx deal on tommee tippees so I'm trying those too... I never imagined spending so much on silly bottles as an EBF, ugh!
@mediagirl: Thanks for this heads up! I went and found a 4 pack for 12.99, then as I kept looking found two packs for 7.99, I got those to try.
@pelikila: This is what I'm hoping will happen for us too. Fingers crossed!
