Playtex Baby Nurser Bottle with Pre-Sterilized Disposable Drop-Ins Liners, Closer to Breastfeeding, 8 Ounce Bottles, 3 Count

I've used these Playtex Nurser bottles with both of my kids. I discovered them after trying many bottle types with my first daughter because of her having constant gas and spit ups and because I was tired of scrubbing 10 parts per bottle. I love that there are hardly any parts to wash constantly ( just bottle, nipple, and ring), which was another selling point. We wash the bottle itself every other day and only the rings and nipples daily so it's much quicker cleaning and making bottles than with all the other brands we tried. When you put the ring on the bottle, make sure you line up the arrows on the bottle and the ring to ensure it's properly closed to avoid a spill. I like that the bottle bends to reduce air bubbles and get a better milk flow on that angle.The bottles are very well made and have survived many washings. Soap bubbles do sometimes get stuck under the bendable hinge, which is annoying. The liner aspect is fantastic because not only does it cut down on cleaning, but it also reduces gas and spit ups because the air flow is sealed. My daughter had much less spit ups and gas once we switched to these bottles. My only complaint is that the ounce numbers on the sides of the bottle do NOT match up to the ounces on the bottle liners. For example, if I put the liner in first and pour out 5 ounces according to the markings on the side of the bottle, it's in fact only 4.5 ounces when you remove the liner and look at the ounce number on the liner. Somehow they aren't matched up, so I just pour the formula into the liners first and use that to get an accurate measurement. I buy these for all my friend's baby showers because they are the best on the market.

***Update: After a few days of using them, I think they're awesome bottles. The only thing I want to let other parents know is that you have to squeeze the air out of the drop in before feeding your baby. These drop ins hold about 10oz of milk, my son for instance only drinks about 7oz. After turning the top of the bottle to the angled position, I just use two fingers to gently squeeze down on the drop in from the opening on the bottom of the bottle until the milk rises to the top of the nipple, then I give it to my son. This is the best way of knowing that your baby really isn't getting any air.Also, I'm not sure if it's just me or what, but the drop ins seem like they aren't 100% clean. Just to be sure, I just give them a quick rinse under the tap water before using. This is also a good thing to do anyway to make sure there's no holes in the drop in before you actually fill it with breastmilk or expensive formula.But overall, I still really like these bottles, and I've noticed my son hasn't been spitting up as much as he normally does.Original Post:My 10-month-old son was originally using the playtex ventaire "anti-colic" bottles. He has acid reflux and was colic when he was newborn. The playtex ventaire bottles were the only bottles that didn't have him screaming with gas pains after feeding him. Now that he's 10 months and isn't colic anymore, I decided to try out these playtex nurser drop-in bottles. So far he hasn't had any issues using them. And it's great for me because I spend soo much less time washing bottles and get to spend more time playing with my son.To make sure they don't leak, you have to turn and "click" both arrows together. This package was a great deal and came with 3 bottles, all with medium flow nipples, and also came with 15 drop-in liners to start you off. The bottles can also turn into an angled position which helps with colic. The open end on the bottle also allows you to click on the bottle cover during feedings so you won't misplace it.

I was so stubborn and hesitant about using these because I wasn't sure about throwing away the plastic (which actually can be reused if you really want to be ecofriendly) but after my daughter was projectile throwing up after drinking from Dr. Brown's bottles (which would take her 45 or more minutes to drink 3 ounces) I knew we needed to make a change. We decided to give these Playtex drop ins a chance, because they are what my mom used for my sister and I when we were babies 30 years ago. She swore by the squeezing out of the air that it would really help her. The nipples are much wider and in my opinion really mimic a real nipple.Sure enough, we made the switch, and she chugs bottles down in 10-15 minutes now and have NOT had any throwing up since we made the switch. In fact, since making the switch she has been able to show us signs that she wants more formula and we have been able to increase to 4 ounces (within a few weeks from making the switch) and now a few weeks later I think she is ready for 5 ounces. I am so excited to see her drink her whole bottles, have minimal spit up, and hang out happy after a feeding. Because of those wider nipples I notice her mouth is able to get a better seal around them (compared to those tiny Dr Brown nipples where I think she was sucking in too much air) and helps her drink easier. Her reflux was not totally cured by this change of bottles, as she ended up needed some prescription medication to help with the other symptoms of reflux, but overall, we saw a night and day difference from switching to these bottles.I would HIGHLY recommend these bottles, even though you have to purchase the drop in liners (they aren't that crazy expensive though!) you will most definitely have a happy baby!
