 - Great Baby Bottlei have been using this baby bottle for 9 months now. i loved it. i think it's easier to clean than dr. brown. I had nipple collapse problem for a few times, and i found out you just need to make sure the opening on that silicon vent to open to prevent nipple collapse. (it seals itself sometimes). I would rate it as 5 star, if not for the price of the nipples. i think they charge way too much for nipples, and they are just standard silicon nipples, nothing special. i have been using dr. brown's nipple on these born free bottles without problem. they are much cheaper, and better quality. their glass bottles are great too. i would stay away from their training/drinking cups if possible. it leaks! Rating:  - Feeding is a breeze...My daughter had jaundice when she was born, so our ped recommended supplementing...so we did, using these bottles and we haven't looked back. She's primarily on formula now and hasn't had an issue going from breast to bottle and back (maybe it's just her! - lucky me). I recently had an issue with the nipples collapsing, but just figured she was ready for the next size nipple, we tried size 2 and it worked like a charm. Since day one, she's never spit up much and has one good burp after eating and is happy right away. So, I love these bottles, yes they are on the expensive side, but they're easy to clean and since my daughter loves them, I do too :) Rating:  - Unsanitary yet BPA free...I just bought one of these and threw out all of my Soothie's and Playtex bottles because of the whole BPA thing. My son is 13 months, I breastfed for 7 then started supplementing. Now we're here, budget wise I bought one. Here's the deal, the nipple is super soft, no it didn't cause problems with him getting the milk out, I even gave him pediasure and he drank all eight ounces from this bottle, however after he drank the strawberry pediasure I tried to wash it. I soaked it, boiled it, re-washed it and boiled it again, I could not get the strawberry smell out of it, so I don't know how sanitary that makes it. Obviously the glass bottle was fine, even the white piece, but the super soft nipple wreaks of strawberry after one sitting with pediasure. I am not so impressed, but I don't know what other options there really are, especially since it isn't the bottle itself, just the nipple that is the problem. Rating:  - Worst design infant bottle.....We got all different kinds of BPA free bottles for our 6 months baby. and got this expensive one with fancy design venting system to give our baby a comfort and happy meal... it turns out... It is the worst design EVER !!... as a fluid dynamic expert, I didn't see any point to make three pieces assembly to create tiny venting system. (the only reason I can think of ... is marketing purpose....) to be more specific, after assembly, it create a small groove channel for air to come in while baby is sucking milk, however, you need to be very very careful to make sure all parts are absolutely "DRY" while assembly, otherwise, the water will be trapped in the venting groove channel, and capillary force will hold it and seal the whole bottle... I actually tried to suck the bottle with "wet" assembly... and need to try really really hard to fight the capillary force to get the water out and clear the vent. (you will learn how much your baby is suffering... ><) besides that, when you put the cap on, you cannot tight it too much... otherwise it will seal even in dry condition.... and not to mention when you need to shake your milk after heating up, or mixing formula... basically everything you do could cause problem.... they shouldn't design such complicated thing to make our baby and parents suffer... if you ever consider this bottle... I strongly recommend to try something else better and cheaper... -Sean Lin, Ph.D. Rating: - Great BottleMy son who is mostly breast fed likes the bottle. No problems using it. I wish the nipple were more like the breastflow bottle, but he just puts his lips around the very top of the nipple which is wider. Of course we love that it is BPA free. It does have a lot of parts to clean and keep track of.
