Has anyone used a breastflow bottle without any leaks?!?!?!


ok so we combination feed and i wanted to use the best bottles for combinibg BF and FF so we use the Breastflow bottles but they fecking leak everywhere !!! and by leak i mean on occasions the formula/EBM actually flows out of the side of the bottle i am very tempted to change back to TT CTN bottles as we never had this prob......we have tried tightening the bottle really tight, or only just tight the teats are in properly etc etc but they still leak everywhere!!!!

just wondering if anyone else has had this prob or is it just us being stuuuuupid

We use the Breastflow bottles and have had no problems, not leaking at all.

Maybe you have a faulty batch? Can you take them back and change them maybe or contact the manufaturer?

Ours didn't leak out the sides, bur two of then the outer teat fills with milk when tilted over time, the other two it doesn't? I have found that the holes clog on ours and nothing come out, think it's the fortifier that we're using with the EBM.
