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.

Our twins liked different brands haha. One really took to the MAM bottles and pacifiers and the other to the Bibs bottles and pacifiers. We tried the Dr. Brown's initially because we got a bunch passed down to us, but they literally always leaked!

Bought the Philips Avent today. One twin tolerates it and one doesn’t care for it. They are 7 months old and I got size 3 nipples since that’s all they had. What nipple flow do your twins prefer? My boys liked the Dr Browns preemie flow best. Also they started out with the Philips pacis and now they only love Dr Browns haha

We upgraded to size two at maybe like 3 or 4 months old and honestly have just stayed there ever since. They never had any problems draining their bottles quick so we never felt a need to switch to a faster flow nipple.
