Nice bottle, but nipple too long October 28, 2008
I bought one bottle for supplementing occasionally, which makes cleaning all the different parts of this bottle not so bad. I followed one person's advice and as soon as everything is dry I put the two insert pieces together and the nipple and ring together, so that everything goes fast if I decide to make a bottle. The milk flows nicely, and I haven't noticed any gas problems, easy to clean the bottle & to mix the formula in it. However, I only gave four stars because the newborn nipple was too long (and of course no other nipples from other various brands fit ...), so I wasn't able to use it until my baby was over three months. Before that, she would choke on the nipple. That is now moot, since my older child was using it (she remembers the bottle with fondness!) and chewed right through the nipple. I don't really see this as a product flaw, but I will definitely not let the older one use this bottle again. Anyway, this is a very nice bottle for suplementing (I haven't noticed any latch on problems), nice feel & soft nipple, but just too long a nipple for early use.
 Good, but I found a better solution! October 22, 2008

I bought this bottle for my occasional use of bottles with pumped breastmilk, but careful as I tried to be, getting my large infant son out of his non-carrier carseat, hefting him on one hip and wrestling to get the bottle in the diaper bag, I dropped it and it smashed all over the asphalt. That was when I found a better bisphenol-A free solution. The Kleen Kanteen leach-free stainless-steel sippy cup comes with the Avent sippy spout, and is therefore interchangeable with Avent nipples, and coincidentally, the nipple from this bottle as well. So I kept the nipple from the smashed bottle, and popped it into the ring that came with the Kleen Kanteen sippy, and voila, a stainless steel baby bottle with the nice nipple that keeps proper sucking posture at the breast. Best of all worlds. And unlike Sigg stainless, the Kleen Kanteen is not coated with epoxy on the inside. For my money, why drink out of epoxy if getting away from chemicals in water is the whole point?
I don't work for Kleen Kanteen (but I should, huh?) but the switching of the nipple for the sippy spout gave me an indestructable leach-free baby bottle that can also be the baby's sippy cup, and later, child's sport bottle, just by changing the spout. Talk about a lasting value! However I will warn that this solution did NOT come with the built-in valve to equalize pressure, so using the stainless steel sippy as a bottle meant that vacuum did build up and my baby had to stop sucking periodically to allow the nipple to draw air so it wouldn't collapse. For an older baby it's no big deal, but I can see why for a younger baby, that self-equalizing valve is important.
As for this bottle, it was great for its purpose, easier to clean than narrow glass bottles, and I would never use plastic again. Nothing wrong with a glass bottle if you never fumble it getting out of the car like I did, and until I discovered the stainless steel option, this was the best choice for me. Oh, the stainless also protects the valuable nutrients in breastmilk from being compromised by exposure to light, but I think you can buy neoprene sleeves for the glass bottles that block light, protect the bottle better from breakage, and insulate.
The nipple that came with the Born Free is the best, because it had the shape of the Avent that prevents bad sucking habits at the breast, but is softer and more comfortable in the baby's mouth than the Avent. So top ratings to this Born Free nipple!
great glass bottle October 15, 2008
These bottles are awesome!! I have dropped them on the floor a couple of times full of breastmilk and they never broke. THANK GOD! I would hate to see the breastmilk wasted. The ink marks for the measures do wear off after a while washing them in the dishwasher, but it seems mostly the ml marks not the ounce marks. And the vents do the trick. I forgot to put the vent once on the bottle and the nipple kept collapsing. And when the baby drinks milk, you can see air bubbles coming out from the vent indicating the air flow.
 More like the real thing & less gas! September 7, 2008
My son is primarily breastfed, but as I have to work half time this year, I needed a bottle he would accept easily. He took to this one right away. With the others we tried he seemed to get a lot of gas bubbles, but with this bottle, he does just fine and is more comfortable throughout his day. The nipple is wider, and more like the real thing. Plus the bottle itself is glass, with no danger of BPA! A real winner. Bought 2, one for at home (for his daddy to use) and one for the diaperbag for his sitter.
Ink came off only half of my bottles July 15, 2008
I love these glass bottles. They clean up great and don't leak. I do have the problem with the ink wearing off on 2 of the 4 glass bottles I bought. There is obviously some difference in the ink and all 4 of my bottles are washed exactly the same. Now if only I could locate more bottles without the disappearing ink!! Just an FYI, if you can learn ml measurements that dark blue ink does not come off.
