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.

Over-all these are pretty good bottles. The only thing that I feel could use some improvement is the shape of the top of the bottle, it's a little bit too wide. Example: When you get to end of feeding and have to tilt the bottle upward to get the last 1/2 ounce or so, the base of the nipple is actually touching babies nose.

Other than that, these are GREAT bottles. They are resonably priced, never had any problems w/ leaking & absolutely LOVE that cap snaps onto bottom of bottle, GENIUS!

I cannot give these bottles 5 stars. I like them...but my son does not. My favorite feature is included in the starter set which comes w/ little attatchable formula cups for powdered formula. You can measure how much you need and push it on to the bottom of the bottle. Great for on the go. Formula cant spoil and no need to heat up cold milk. Can cozies work perfect on these to help keep milk cold. My son is a bottle fed baby & has a problem latching on . He cannot get a good seal on the nipple and becomes gassy from swalling to much air. My advice would be to try these bottles but only open and use a few so if your child has the same problem you can return the unused bottles.

I bought these bottles because my daughter was having trouble with the flow of other bottles.They were to fast for her .Like the other reviews this was also the only paci she would take that didn't gag her. Great for little babies that can't control their flow control.

My son is 3 months old and I had been using the playtex drop-in bottle with him with the wide neck nipples to switch from breast to bottle. I was tired of buying drop ins (those get expensive!) and was looking for an alternative- I tried EVERYTHING from evenflo to gerber nuk to brown's to avent... FINALLY I saw these and thought I would give them a try. He always loved his soothie and won't take any other type of pacifier (except the playtex binkie which is similarly shaped...). He LOVES these bottles! They vent well, do not leak, clean easily, and he has had NO problems with gas using these. He does have to let go for air to vent back in occasionally (the vents don't keep up with him) but I think this is because they are stage 1 nipples and he is probably ready for stage 2, which I will be trying with him shortly. If you are looking for a great bottle at a great price, and if you baby likes wide necked nipples and/or soothie pacifiers, these bottle are for you!!

very pleased with everything... my little man feeds so much better with these bottles... we tried the avent bottles first and they leak all over... it was a mess and he hated drinking from them... glad we found a good match for our little guy.

I love the design and the size of the bottle. My husband has huge hands and the best part is that they don't leak and the opening is super wide that you can't spill the formula powder. Unfortuntely, my son will not drink from the soothie nipple. I started him on the Avent bottle as a newborn and he loves those big nipples. I hate Avent bottles bcecause they leak and it's ashame he won't feed from these Soothies because they are a great design.

We tried several types of bottles for my colicky son who was diagnosed with reflux and torticollis and started refusing to nurse at around 3 months. We used the soothie pacifiers, so he immediately latched on to these bottles and we never had a single problem with them. His reflux started improving around the same time we switched to these bottles, probably more because of the medication he was on, but they certainly didn't make his sensitive tummy any worse. I also found a few of these that had convenient snap-on containers for the bottom that could store formula or snacks. So nice for planes!I have no complaints about these bottles, the shape made them easy for my baby to learn how to hold for himself and we are going to miss them when we make the switch exclusively to sippy cups in the near future! We love the soothie brand!

We had a hard time getting Aonghas (Angus) to take a bottle. He is a breastfed baby who was starting daycare 2 days a week, so we had to do something. We tried a lot of other brands before my friend said "you know that pacifier that all our babies are crazy about...well that company makes a bottle with a nipple that is shaped like that pacifier". And...after a few weeks of thinking I had to reconfigure my life AGAIN, he took the bottle the first day we got it...yayayayayay

The item came quickly and the bottles are nice but my baby won't convert:(
