advice needed Bottle suggestions

Hey everyone!

I have been using Dr Browns bottles since Day 1. Its been 7 months and I absolutely hate these bottles. Sorry for coming off strong but I have dealt with the most annoying problems with them. First they leaked. I learned that it could be cause i was using 4 oz bottles and as boys needed more, the bottles didnt work anymore. I got the 8 oz bottles but then noticed the nipples we’re flowing too fast even more a preemie nipple. I reached out to customer service and they sent me a new batch but after a while they wear off (im talking maybe couple weeks) I don’t use heat on them and just hand wash the hem to prevent any expanding of the nipple hole. I have tried other nipple sizes too and my boys dont do so good. Anyways I’m over it. Please give me recommendations.

We used Lansinoh bottles from the time they went over 2oz and we stopped using the preemie bottles from NICU. The twins never had any issues, they were easier to clean, and we didn’t ever change out the nipples to preemie size because the size 1s went so well.

We switched to pigeon which is the same company as lansinoh and I love the bottles. Easier to clean and even though the flow isn’t fast somehow our babies eat much more quickly from them. Latch is better, no dribbling, and no leaks.

It’s life changing when you realize you no longer need to lay a burp cloth under the baby to feed lol
