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

saraendepity · Nov 22nd, 2009, 10:57 AM

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?

i have contacted the manufacturer and they are gonna send me out some replacements while they test mine...thing is i bought them in three lots and they are very different - i have 2 without writing on it and 2 with writing on them ?!?!?! god knows ?? hopefully we'll get some answers soon

I hated ours, they used to leak as well

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.

well i gave up on them in the end, i had been covered in milk one too many times and had one hell of a fit and went out and got some TT CTN. the BF ones will be getting sent back to the Manufacturer with a comment card

at first i liked them but now im finding they do leak a bit. i also have avent bottles and i prefer them by FAR!

Yeah, I've had the same problem but instead of investing in new bottles & slow flow nipples, I've held off on purchasing new bottles until my son is ready for the fast flow nipples that come with the 9 oz. size. Definitely going to go with the Avent brand because that's what my niece used and they never had any issues.
But in the mean time i've been wrapping the Breastflow bottles in a small burp cloth overlapping the seam where the top meets the bottle and it's been working great so far - any leaks gets caught and doesn't leak everywhere & soak everything~

I found MAM fantastic for combi feeding, and no leaks!
