Tried 4 other brands and finally like this one
We tried Avent, Playtex, and Gerber and all had different issues. Finally the Nuk orthodontics were simple, easy to use, not too many parts, and reduced our baby's colic and fussiness. I recall the packaging saying the plastic is BPA Free, so maybe I got a newer edition. But I also am not paranoid like a lot of people. The designs on the outside are scratching off a little, but that's doesn't bother anyone. The feeling, give, and shape of the plastic nipple is very nice - if I were a baby I would like it in my mouth!
Good Bottles, but Don't Travel Well
The Gerber Nuk Orthodontic bottles are cute, and overall well designed. Initially, the nipples on the bottle may be difficult to figure out which way to put in your baby's mouth. We quickly learned that the hole in the nipple should be on the roof of the baby's mouth (if you see the vent hole pointing up towards your baby's nose, you got the nipple hole in the correct direction). The bottles are easy to clean, and are shaped short and wide, thus allowing our daughter to easily hold it by herself with both hands without tipping over.
My one gripe with the bottle is that because the nipple hold placement is on the side of a nipple as opposed to directly on the top, if you shake the bottle with formula in it, the formula leak out, even with the cap on! We learned this the hard way when absent mindedly tossing a full bottle into a backpack, and it tipped over sideways! If you're conscientious about keeping your bottles upright, you wont have a problem. You will need to either use your finger to block the hole when mixing formula, or use a spoon. Most people will most likely overlook this one inconvenience, as having an easier time feeding your baby trumps over all.
The 5-ounce bottle set comes with the slow flow nipples. The 8-ounce bottles come with medium flow nipples. For those who think these bottles are too expensive, often Gerber sends out coupons that include $3 off any Nuk Bottle. At Target, these bottles are generally priced around $5 per bottle for either the 5- or 8-ounce size.
Outside of the bottle cap leaking problem, I would recommended this bottle to my new mommy friends! Recommended!
Very Dissapointed!!! Dont Let Cute Designs Fool You!
Now im a mom of 3, so i know a thing or two about bottles! I purchased these bottles for their cute girly designs, affordable, and breast like appearance. Big Mistake! The hole of the nipple is located on the side! Yes the side! Making it very hard for my daughter to suck out any formula! A feeding of 2 or 3 ounces of formula would take 2-3 hrs! So all day it seemed like i was feeding her. Her Mouth & Tongue would get red from sucking sooo hard! I tried making the holes bigger & even bought Mediam Flow! Nothing Worked! Finally i bought the inexpensive GERBER Bottles because it had always did the job with my other children! Now feedings lasts 15 minutes! and My daughter is satified. She sleeps longer because before she would be up all day & night trying to suck 3 ounces out of each feeding.
