We used Medela bottles and nursing products exclusively when our daughter was born 6 months ago because I was using the Pump 'n Style and had purchased all Medela to go along with the pump. We were happy until a mere 2-3 weeks after using it. A few bottles began leaking. My husband and I tried to figure out what we could be doing wrong... we sterilized according to package instructions using the Medela microwave bags. After struggling with the leaks for another 2 weeks (and a newborn), we called Medela. The rep apologized and said that they were having problems with the old plastic collar/rings (that screw onto the bottles with the nipples) and would gladly ship to us updated, newer collars. Sure enough, we were impressed to receive them in the mail within a few days. Did they solve the problem? Not really. Some leaked less. But others sprung new leaks. We struggled with the bottles for another few months. We had invested too much money to switch. And the baby liked the nipples. By 4 months of use, practically all the bottles and collars were leaking. In addition, we had 3 Medela bottles warp... yes, warp... in the microwave, again, using Medela microwave bags. When I called Medela, I spoke to a rep who was extremely rude... told us it was probably us not screwing on the bottles correctly. When I explained that we tried everything under the sun, she told us that before giving the bottle to the baby, to check that the caps were screwed on just right (not too tight, not too loose), to twist open and run our fingers underneath, along the nipple to make sure everything was flat, check that the threading on the collar lined up with the threading on the bottle... etc. Not only were we already doing all this, but it's a bottle. Who has time to spend 5 minutes fiddling with a bottle with a hungry baby waiting? When I asked if she could send any replacement parts so we could figure out what was going on, she finally relented. A few days later, I came home from work to find a letter stating I had a package waiting for me at the P.O. When I finally went to pick it up, was told I had to pay for shipping before I could have it. It was shipped C.O.D. from Medela! I had them return the package. Went home and threw out all our bottles. We are using Playtex bottles happily now. No more leaks. But, unfortunately, we had already spent a lot of money on Medela bottles and products. As an OB/physician, I no longer recommend Medela products exclusively to my patients. They have good pumps, but their other products are overpriced, in my opinion, and not necessarily high in quality.

really this is going to be your baby's decision. you can try and try but they will eat out of what they want.
That said I think if you have a Medela breast pump these are a great place to start because they come free with the pump. That way you can try out a bottle without investing money in it. If it works great! If it doesn't you haven't wasted any money experimenting.
I started with an Adiri bottle because it was pretty and fancy and vented and shaped like a boob and I thought it would be perfect for my baby. He didn't agree. When I broke this one out in desperation (I had it stashed in the closet thinking it couldn't be as good because it wasn't all fancy and vented and blah blah blah) he suddenly started taking the bottle.
The lack of venting hasn't been a problem but I'm not convinced that venting isn't just a great advertising gimmick for many people. Tiny babies spit up all the time. My baby spit up after every feeding from the breast for a month and a half. His tummy was just maturing and that is how is body was. I guess if your baby is colicky then by all means try everything you can to help them. But if your baby is just spitty and happy then they are probably just that way.
Anyway, my baby likes this bottle so far and we were able to return the Adiri for this set of three (which I bought somewhere else for 17 dollars....). I'm not going to invest in them much more because I'm worried he might change his mind again (he takes bottles no more than once a day so the three I bought plus the two that came with the breast pump meet all our storage/feeding needs).

These are convenient to use because they screw right onto the Medela pump. I have 2 packs of them. My son likes these bottles/ nipples just fine for feeding. Also, I like that the bottles are made from Bisphenol-A free plastic. Overall, I am very pleased - just as I am with all of the other Medela products I have purchased (bottles, pump, wipes, sleeping bra).

Cheap and grease-catching
Reasons to buy this bottle: they fit on your pump (FYI, they work with Ameda pumps as well).
Otherwise, everything is against them. The bottle itself is flimsy. Read more
