We used Tommee Tippee bottles when we got home from the hospital. That lasted maybe 2 weeks before she decided that she hated them....
I'm going to try to use them for Baby 2 because I like how simple the bottles are!

We used the Medela bottles for a few weeks starting when she was around 2.5 weeks old. Then all of a sudden she hated them and a month or two later she decided she only wanted the Lansinoh mOmma bottles. Next time we're just going to try the mOmma bottles.
She actually never liked the Tommee Tippee bottles. We bought some because they were highly recommended so we ended up giving them to my BIL and SIL who are about to have their second baby and loved the Tommee Tippee bottles the first time.

I used the Medela bottles when I started pumping. They came with the pump & were easy.
We switched to Tommee Tippee so that he could use them with the sippy cup tops and then totally hated all sippy cups except the straw cups.. of course! haha

Tommee Tippee here too. She takes them fine, but I hate the flimsy nipple. We still use them when the others are dirty, but they're my least favorite. She has a small mouth & retracted jaw, so the ones she uses the best are the Gerber Essentials with the traditional small nipple!

Brestflow. It was not a good fit. MAM is what ended up being the right fit for us.

I also used Tommy Tippee but in the end my son preferred the Medela ones and it was easier to use those when I pumped into them so we switched. I still have some of the Tommy Tippees and might still try to use them with number 2 as well and see what they like

We tried avent first, he HATED them. We eventually ended up with the cheapie gerber bottles.

We got Dr. Brown's at our baby shower, so we used those. So far, at 6 months, no problems. They are a pain to wash, but I don't want to buy a new set.
We did also get a small Avent bottle from the hospital and he's happy to use that every once in a while.

Avent first with both and both hated them afterthe first few days. Switched to Dr. Brown's with the first but Dr. Brown didn't work for this latest LO. Ended up having to get Tommee Tippee for her and she loves them. Hopefully she'll continue to love them - we just bought four more - or get used to the Dr. Brown's

Avent and they were horrible. They caused her massive projectile vomiting and gas.

Tommee Tippee. When he was diagnosed with reflux, we switched him to the Tommee Tippee anti-colic bottles. He has never had a problem taking either one. I even got an adapter so that I can pump directly into the TT bottles (using the Medela pump at work - they don't fit my Lansinoh pump at home, but that's ok).

We used the Medela bottles that came with our pump, but as soon as LO started drinking bigger bottles, we switched over to Born Free. At 7.5 months, LO is still using Born Free. We love them!

Tried medela but he hated them. We tried playtex ventaire wide next and those were winners for us!

I used playtex drop ins with my first two - I liked the big nipple and the fact that I could just use the same bag I froze milk with instead of transferring it to a bottle.
With this baby I like the Medela calma - the playtex have to fast of a flow (even the 0mth nipple) and he seems to be able to control this one better.

we started with medela and initially she was ok, but ended up hating it. playtex drop-ins have been working much better for us so far!

We started out with Dr. Brown glass bottles, but they didn't work out for my LO. Even with the slowest flow nipple, he was drowning in milk. We transitioned to Life Factory glass bottles and loved them. Will be using the same bottles for the next baby.

Life factory glass; never had any issues and still using at 4 months!

@littlebug: Where did you get an adapter? I would love to pump with my medela pump right into my TT bottles!!

the plain old medela bottle and evenflo nipple and ring! so easy. it was the same nipple/ring as the disposable ones they have in the hospital.

@MamaMoose: Babies R Us! In my BRU, they're in the breastpump aisle. I was initially looking in the Tommee Tippee bottle part, and was devastated that I couldn't find it. But then I checked the breastpump section, and they were in there with the TT breastpump stuff. It's so great - I just bring 2 9oz bottles with me to work and pump into them all day rather than having a bunch of the smaller medela bottles to deal with!

we used medela, the nipple collapsed and DD got terrible gas from it. We then switched to vent aire ones and never loojked back.

We started with the Medela bottles, so easy for pumping to bottle, but we had to switch to Tommee Tippee's because she was getting too much air with the Medela's. She loves the TT ones and they are so easy, we will use those for the next child too if we can!

@littlebug: Awesome... this is going to save me so much time and bottle washing. Thanks!!

dr. brown's. we then used avent for a little, but he was having some gas issues and we switched back to dr. brown's. not sure if it made a difference, but i'm not reluctant to mess with things again.
