    Hi
    Was wondering has anyone got any views on the Dr Browns bottles? babs is due in September and my plan is to breast feed but I want to have bottles/sterliser etc ready in the wings also. I'm getting such differing recommendations from other mums one swearing they were the best ever and another telling me she pegged them in the bin after a couple of weeks as had such problems cleaning them and getting the tops to close securly etc. This is my first baby so any recommendations would be great.
    many thanks

    Trial and error, depends on what baby likes, mine like the avent and the dr browns, I didnt find much difference between the 2.

    My sister in law uses them and finds them great for my nephew, however she finds them difficult and annoying to clean.
    I use Nuk and my little one never had a problem with them. It really is trial and error.

    They are a bit tricky to clean you have 2 extra parts to clean but it's not that time consuming. I love them for my daughter, she never fit colic or anything was a great drinker of bottles

    I went from tommy tippee to avent to dr brown and never looked back. They are great and very good for minimising the amount of wind going into the baby's tummy.

    I use the Avent bottles but tried the Dr.Browns ones for a while as my baby suffered with gas, didnt notice any difference so went back to Avent.
    All depends on the baby, no harm in giving them a try!
    Congrats by the way! :)

    He tommee tipped anti colic + bottles are well worth buying.
    They use the same type of technology as the doctor brownes so are slightly harder the. Usual to wash but they are great.
