As the title states. With DD2 we use the regular MAM bottles and Cow and Gate formula (started on first milk but she has follow-on now). xxxx
 
mam anti colic bottles and hipp organic (started with cow and gate) :)
 
Dr. Brown's and Aptamil.

Emma used the Dr. Brown's and I kept them to use for next baby. I tried TT CTN and Mam but she didn't get on with them at all. Jack seems to have taken to Dr Brown's well so I have stuck with them. I do find them a pain to wash though, as there are so many parts. Would quite like to try Avent but don't really have the disposable income to replace all the bottles and teats.
 
Boots own (which are basically Avent but cheaper) and SMA 1 - We had the anti-colic MAM ones but couldn't get on with them (kept leaking and hard to re-heat).
 
we don't get cow and gate here but we use Karicare toddler gold and Avent bottles and hospital teats as our little girl did not take to the standard newborn ones so we needed to buy some special hospital ones and tommee tippee bottles and teats were a nightmare, they were too wide and big and she was just sucking air
 
Did any of the ladies who use SMA find that it made their baby constipated? Am considering using SMA this time round as it seems more widely available than the others in the local shops and it has more choice in sizes of cartons and tins etc. xx
 
My lo was on SMA at first then got severely constipated so we changed to cow and gate comfort for 3 months then he was fine switched him back to first C&G then he moved onto FO milk at about 10 months we have used all the bottles lol but hes only liked Tommee Tippee ones
 
We recently switched from avent to Dr browns bottles and she has cow and gate. Dd1 had sma to begin with but it made her constipated so we changed to cow and gate with her and have stuck with that this time x
 
Tommee tippe anti colic and aptimil comfort....we've had some tummy issues!
 
MAM self sterlising anti colic + SMA staydown. He gets on well with the MAM bottles, but I really want to change as the leaking is driving me insane.

Want to switch to Avent or Dr Browns, anyone have any views on either of these? :flower:

We use Tommee Tippee Closer To Nature bottles and ordinary Aptamil. :) Started off with Avent bottles, but the Avent teat hole sizes don't quite work for us.
 
We use Aptamil Comfort & Avent. She does seem to take in lots of air though and gets very windy in the evening.

We started off on SMA but it made her constipated so we changed to Aptamil Comfort. It was like magic!

I do like Dr Brown's but they are a bit of a pain to wash up, as you have the 2 vent parts. Oh and they will leak if you aren't careful. When I make my bottles up I have to leave the collar slightly loose when I rapid-cool and when I warm them up. Otherwise they leak.

Thank you. I picked up a couple Dr Browns so will see how he gets on :D the washing up looks less of a faff than the MAM ones we have been using!
