Any suggestion on bottles for formula feeding?

[mummie2be]

I know that every baby has a different preference which bottle they will take from..but can anyone suggest a good bottle that I should try and start off with?

I'm really strapped for cash and seem to have a mile long list of stuff to get, and I am terrified of buying expensive bottles and LO not liking them.
Can anyone suggest ones that had worked for them but didn't cost an arm and a leg?

I bought an Avent steriliser and bottle set initially, but my daughter didn't get on that well with them - she had to suck hard to get the milk out, so took in a lot of air and it made her reflux worse. I bought a couple of Dr Brown's bottles to try, and they made a world of difference. I'd totally recommend them. Friends had told me they were the one to go for, but I thought I knew better. Wish I'd just bought them to start with.

You get small size bottles for the early days in most brands, but to be honest they are a bit of a waste of money - I'd say just go for the bigger size, as they are fine to use with a smaller amount in.

I bought tommee tippee last time and my daughter didn't like them, switched to Avent and all was well

I'm trying mam this time ...

I agree to just buy the big bottles though as you don't use the little ones for ages

Im using mam bottles, they are anti colic and u can sterilize them one at a time

Dr Browns. My LO had horrible reflux, and it was the only bottle that helped. Also, we used Avent, and he got a lot of gas from them.

I swear by Dr Browns bottles. DD had really bad colic and I started using these and it made the world of difference, I stupidly thought that DS1 would be ok so didn't use them from the start, he had colic too and really bad reflux once I started the Dr Browns it helped him so much. We have used them from the start this time with DS2 and he's had no problems at all x

Tommee tippee and it was easy to get her off them

Another vote for mam self sterilising, omg why oh why i didnt use them first time i dont know. Total time savers!

Dr browns all the way! One of the first things I bought this time round. We used with dd1 at 6 weeks as she had colic and it cleared it up practically overnight.
Used them with dd2 and no issues whatsoever!

You can always go n get 1 or 2 really cheap ones n if babby wont take it id suggest dr br brown they are a bit soendy imo but great both my girls had gassy tummys and one had really bad acid reflex and they helpped a ton.

I used avent classic last time and they were good, going for avent natural this time though as I intend to try breastfeeding and I think they are closer to the shape of the breast or summat. I would suggest just getting a few bottles at first just in case bubs doesn't take well to that brand or if you can afford it go straight for the Dr Browns ones as I have heard a lot of good reports of them from friends x
