I tried several different bottles, including Avent and Second Nature, and this is the only one that my baby could get a good suction on and didn't flow too fast or make her gag. The nipples are the same as the pacifier given to me at the hospital (which is the only pacifier she will take as well). I am breastfeeding, and with all of the trouble I was having findnig a bottle, I was worried about what would happen when I went back to work and my baby had to be fed from a bottle. This bottle has eased my mind. Also, the wide neck make washing easier than any other bottles. The reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because it will leak if the top is not on really tight, but as long as I make sure it is tight I have no problems.

We adopted a little boy when he was 2 days old. He was slightly preemie and weighed just over 5 pounds. He wouldn't have anything to do with the soothie for preemies, but loved the regular soothie pacifier even though it covered half his face. We had a hard time finding a bottle that he liked, he didn't seem to care for any of the nipples and we tried several: avent, dr. brown, gerber and playtex. I was strolling the baby aisle in Target when I saw these and was thrilled. In the store the 3 pack of 5 oz bottles was half of what they are here on amazon. I love the width of the bottles because it's super easy to add in formula and make sure everything is really clean. The lid also snaps onto the bottom which helps keep them from mysteriously disappearing.

Our baby is now 8 weeks old and these are still doing well. This bottle has really cut down on the amount of mess our baby makes when eating also. Double check to make sure the top is on tight and you shouldn't have any leaking problems. I'm so glad I found these!

I went through playtex, EvenFlow, and Dr. Browns (which i cannot stand...to much to clean and the parts are just agravating! Not to mention the paint on the bottle chips off easy and bugs me), ...and sadly all those bottles didn't work... Because we all know how expensive bottles can get! I love first years products. I have no pacifer or nipple confusion b/c i use different pacifers. He loves these bottles... We were having problems with a too fast flow or not fast enough. These are just perfect! Thank you first years!

Love it! Love it! My 5 month old has been breastfed with an occasional bottle. I decided to move her to bottle only, and she refused any kind of bottle. I tried Avent, Playtex Nurser, Evenflo Elan, and Gerber. I even tried different flows and materials of some of these bottles. I tried them over and over again, but when I tried the Soothie, she took it the very first time and hasn't even complained. What a relief!!!! Besides being relieved that she will take the Soothie, they are also very inexpensive, which is another plus.

I havent had any problems with the bottles leaking like others have stated, but I guess I always check and make sure the lid is on right. The suction isnt too fast, which is great. My baby doesnt get choked. She latches easily to the nipple since it is the same as the pacifier that she loves. My only gripe is that since the bottles are so wide they cover the whole lower part of her face and it smooshes her nose. There isnt a curve in the bottle, so when the milk gets low you either have to lean the baby back more, which I dont like, or either mash the bottle on her nose. Its avoidable, but I tend to do it whithout realizing sometimes. Id rather just stick with a bottle like playtex with a curver or a bottle that is slimer. I still use the bottles, but I just have to make sure the whole time I'm feeding that it isnt mashing her nose so she can breath.

We think this bottle is a poor design. It's too wide for a newborn baby. Like another reviewer said, it smooshes up against the baby's nose and you have to tilt the bottle way too far to get the last few ounces of milk to the nipple. In addition, the vent does not seem to work as the only way air gets back into the bottle is when the baby stops sucking and releases the nipple. We like the playtex drop-ins better.

After nearly throwing an Avent bottle across the room (I gave up - LEAK LEAK LEAK!!!!), something had to be done. Luckily my husband went to the store and decided to take a look at the bottles. We loved the Soothie pacifier so much, we bought a number of them, so when my husband saw that they made bottles, he picked up one to try. After using it for one day, I went back and bought 6 more. 4 weeks later and my daughter still loves them (no confusion between paci and bottle, or breast and bottle), we've never had one drop leak, and the wide neck makes cleaning them very easy. My younger sis is expecting baby #3, and after feeding my daughter once with the Soothie bottle, she's decided that this is the only bottle she'll be buying as well!

Our son would never take a paci if it weren't for soothies!!! and there is no giving it up now! --now that we have the same nipple for our bottle. no more nipple confusion! :oP

They are great, no complaints. I don't know why the previous reviewer only gave 4 stars. If you don't screw ANY bottle tight enough it leaks ...duh!

These are absolutely the best bottles. We used Avent bottles for our first daughter and they leaked constantly. Our second daughter took to the soothie binky immediately in the hospital, so we decided to try the soothie bottles for her. She loved them and so did we. We are now a month away from baby girl number three, and will definitely use these bottles again. Highly recommended, especially if your baby uses the soothie binkies!

I just bought a replacement of this bottle today. My toddler loves it and uses it to drink her water. I was glad to see on the insert of the package that this bottle has no BPA, no PVC, and no phthlates. Very good!
