 these bottles are great June 30, 2008
I bought these bottles for my 3rd child after using Advent for the first two. Although expensive, these bottles work great. My son can drink the whole bottle without me having to stop in-between to burp him. He took to them very quickly after being breastfed for the first 5 mos of his life. I had read in some reviews that people had their bottles break when dropped but I have not had this problem, even after dropping one on our driveway. I would highly recommend these bottles.
Good Bottle June 29, 2008
I have absolutely no complaints about this product's functionality, I just wish that it cost less. The BPA scare has made me very uneasy about using any bottles other than this one and my son seems to like it so it is all that we use now.
LOVE these bottles! June 20, 2008
I originally purchased these bottles purely because they are BPA free, but they have so much more to offer. I had been using Dr. Brown's wide-neck bottles in the past and I was a bit skeptical when I decided to switch to a BPA free bottle; was I surprised! I have not had any problems with leaks and the anti-colic system is working great for my three month old who has had HORRIBLE colic in the past. They are also easy to hold and it doesn't take but a second to assemble (even when I have to make a bottle one handed!) I highly recommend these to anyone.
 Good in theory, bad in practice June 2, 2008
My baby is seven weeks old and my experience so far is with nursing, nursing with a supplemental nursing system, and feeding with Dr Brown's and Born Free bottles. Whereas the Dr Brown's bottles mimic nursing in the nipple latch, the baby's suck, and the nursing action, the Born Free replicates none of these qualities.
The Born Free nipple graduates too severely to the wide mouth so it's hard for baby to get a good, ie similar to nursing, latch with flared lips and suction all around. It also prevents jaw motion during sucking which I was taught is a strong suck and "good form" when nursing. To make matters worse, sucking creates a vacuum inside the bottle so baby releases her latch every five sucks and has to then get back on the nipple. It's a lot of work for her! She hates it and refuses the bottle when she has only eaten half her dinner. They claim specifically that the widget under the nipple prevents a vacuum in the bottle but that is not my experience.
An additional worry is that, when tipping the bottle from upright into feeding position, the ball shape on the tip of the nipple captures air bubbles that can't be shaken or tapped loose so baby ingests them.
There is a difference between spitting up and throwing up. With the Dr Brown's bottles there is none of this nonsense with the latch and suck, she goes right through two ounces before stopping for a burp and then plows through 2 more, and there is very little spitting up. With the Born Free she stops eating every five sucks to release the vacuum, refuses the bottle after 2oz, and then throws up (not spits up--*throws* up) most of what I did get in her.
I gave two stars because, in theory, I believe in availability of bisphenol-A-free plastic bottles over bottles containing BPA and I like the shape of the bottle (easy to hold). All babies are different and maybe yours won't encounter these problems. After all, these bottles had to make it through R&D so somebody must like them! But there is just not one thing about them that works for me/us.
Love 'em! May 18, 2008

These bottles are great! These are the least expensive of the wide-mouth BPA-free bottles (at least that I could find), but still more than standard bottles. We have combatted that issue by only buying 4 bottles and washing them constantly (a little bit of a hassle, but a cheaper option). We are using them to serve expressed breastmilk, and we use the Mother's Milkmate system (Mothers Milkmate Storage Rack (10 Bottles)) for storage and heating, and then pour the milk into the bottle. I don't know how they would perform with formula.
The only (VERY minor) drawbacks are: 1. They take a minute to assemble. It's not really very long considering some of the other bottles we've tried, and the venting system makes it totally worth it. 2. You can't really heat milk up IN the bottle... It's too thick. Heat it first, then pour.
As far as the drop issue, I dropped one of mine 3 times in a row last night onto my kitchen floor (it was 3 am). I was worried it would break, but it was fine.
We've tried several BPA-free bottles, and this is by far the best. Great venting system. Easy to hold (except at 3 am. :). Nipple is the best for minimizing nipple-confusion among the brands we've tried (including the Adiri Natural Nurser (Adiri Natural Nurser Ultimate Bottle Stage 1 White, Slow Flow (0-3 months))
