Great bottles, but make sure you notice that these are wideneck...especially if you have the original size and want them all to be compatible (lids, etc).

If you like a smaller, wider bottle, then I would suggest getting these. They also have nice indentations on the side for easier holding.

I struggled with one of the bottles for three days before giving up and going back to using an EvelFlo slow nipple with liners. At first my 3 week old son was highly frustrated not being able to get milk at a rate which he had gotten used to. After 4 feeding, he decided to slow down and play the bottle's game, and this is when I was elated. But after a couple of feedings like that, he simply refused to spend nearly 5 times longer to feed than he was used to. By the time he sucked a couple of ounces, over 1/2 hour would pass. I tried making the nipples hole a little larger by making a tiny slice in the silicon, and this did improve things, but in the end, even the nipple's shape was not to his liking. I got this because others had claimed that it would reduce colic and burping, but when the baby is completely frustrated and does not eat, colic is the last worry you have.

I bought this bottle because it was recommended to me to help with my son's gas issues after feeding. The first time we used it he threw up his entire feeding and the second time he had to burp every ounce or more. He had more gas than usual. We did not use it again. I am going to return these and I do not recommend them to anyone. He did much better with the Born Free bottles and those are also BPA free. These are not, and they do not even say on the bottle what type of plastic (number) they are, and they are also made in China.
