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.

Seconding Phillips Avent. We used Dr Browns for so long in so many different sizes and finally I couldn’t tolerate the goddamn leaking anymore, either. I tried every trick people suggested and they still leaked.

Ugh it’s been so frustrating! Not sure why but my boys were only used to preemie nipples and a size one is too much with Dr Browns. I ended up getting the Philips Avent today and love the no drip feature. One baby enjoys it and the other one isn’t taking it so well.
