Dr Brown's bottles

porkypig · Aug 10th, 2009, 10:40 AM

Does anyone use these? Ive just bought some as i was previously using tommee tippee closer to nature bottles and my little boy had terrible wind etc. i read about the dr browns ones and bought some. my lo seems a bit happier today but he might just be having a good day.
Does anyone else have any experience with these bottles? just wondering what other people thought about them xx

I have definitely noticed a difference in Toby's wind since switching to Dr Brown's, although sometimes he still has the odd windy feed! I am still wondering whether its also got something to do with the fact he is just growing out of his wind issues now... he's 14-weeks and I left it until 12-weeks to buy Dr Brown's when his wind issues started at 6-weeks! The cost put me off but I should have just gone for it to begin with!!!

Im using Dr.Browns since she was 3 weeks and I have to say they made a huge difference. We do have an odd "windy day" but not near as bad as she used to be.
Only thing about them is that you cant shake the food in it so its better to make up a feed in another bottle and then transfer it into Dr.Browns one. x

I think they are great!!! Zack has been using them for about 3 weeks and it was a massive change in amount of wind!

My MW has literally just recommended them to me. She said DON'T use Avent because newborns struggle to feed properly. She said Dr Browns are the best because they reduce air bubbles.
How do you make them up if you can't shake the mix inside the bottle?

I used to make up a feed in avent bottles i had and then transfer into dr.browns ones but someone on here actually advised stiring the food instead of shakin it so thats what i do now. Sooo much easier lol.
