bottles

Just curious what kind of bottles every one uses? We used the first years breast flow bottels with my oldest, but he nursed quite well...he only took those when I was at work. My youngest is not nursing at all and he seems to be taking in a lot of air with the breast flow bottles. We have one playtex vent aire that I just tried for the first time the last feeding and that seemed to do a little better. He is very gassy, and is only pooping maybe once a day. Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated.

Thanks

Evie

I don't have a huge amount of experience with this (I ebf'd for 15 weeks & have been pumping for 3 weeks), but I use the Dr Browns bottles.  I am based in UK, but assume you can get them elsewhere.  Here is their website:

I've found them to be really good - my lo isn't really gassy or anything x

I use playtex nursers and love them. DS was never really gassy much though.

My best friend has a daughter about the same age as my DS with terrible reflux. They use tommee tippee bottles and cups for her and really like those.
