I love drop in nursers. After having to use regular plastic bottles... with all the maticous cleaning, sterilzing, then air dry time was just taking too much of my time. I love the fact that I can just insert the bottle liner remove excess air and move on with life. He seems to like the less air he is consuming verses the previous way mentioned.

I had read that the best time to start giving a bottle to a breastfed baby was between 4-6 weeks. SO when my daughter turned 5 weeks I wanted to find a bottle nipple that would most resemble the nipple of a breast so I wouldn't confuse her. I was nervous about trying this one only because when I was breastfeeding my son (who is now 23 months old) I tried giving him a NUK bottle that had a nipple that was supposed to mimic a real nipple. WELL- all it did was confuse the mess out of him! He took in so much air and when I tried to nurse him later all he did was SCREAM because he was so confused! Well, having had such a bad experience with my son, I was reluctant to try just any nipple. I had done a lot of research and this was the nipple that a lot of breastfeeding moms recommended. We tried it for the first time last night and I was amazed! My daughter (who is 5 weeks) took to it like she had been bottle fed her whole life. I was expecting her to at least hesitate when the nipple was put in her mouth but there was absolutely NO hesitation! Immediately, she started sucking and drinking the breast milk. Well that was half the battle the next test was seeing if she would nurse later. She had no problem going back to the breast!!! (Much to my relief :)) I hate that this nipple is hard to find in stores but I am happy that I can at least get it on Amazon- and it's cheap! If you are feeling reluctant about trying this nipple for a breastfed baby- you HAVE to give it a try! And hey- if it doesn't work out, you only spent a few dollars on it anyway.

This product made my life so much easier as I didn't have to wash bottles so often anymore. It was as simple as changing the nipple & that's all that needed to be washed. I've read reviews about w/c disposables to use. It was a choice between Avent & Playtex. Avent was mentioned to have leaked while this one didn't. I'm glad I purchased this one as I believe I made the right choice!

We tried a half a dozen different types of bottles before we found these drop ins are the only ones our daughter likes. They don't let air bubbles in, minimal gas for the little one. Every piece you re-use is dishwasher safe and the liners come pre-sterilized. Also, you really can't beat the price on these. What a deal!

This was the only bottle my daughter would use. The liners are convenient, but can sometimes be a little leaky. We tried many different bottles with her, but still came back to these. Leaking aside, they work as advertised.

the item is great but I'm disspointed cause I've ordered the original bottle and got the premium one, which I don't like cause its plastic is more fragile.

We don't have much space to be storing lots of bottles. Also, we don't have a dishwashing machine and I HATE washing dishes with a passion. So, these bottles are perfect for us because we don't need very many of them and they don't need to be washed after every use. We have one of these Original Nursers and two of the Premium Nursers. We have 9 nipples that we cycle through each day. We use each nipple once, then toss it in a bowl to be washed later. Once we've used all nipples, I wash them, which ends up being about once a day. It's still a pain but it's better than having to wash an entire bottle after every use.

My son does very well with these bottles. He has very little uncomfortable gas and no colic episodes, yet (fingers crossed!). The bottles are easy to use with measurments printed on the sides for pouring and/or mixing formula right in the bottle.

These bottles have measurements printed on them for both the 8 oz. Drop-Ins and the Expandable 10 oz. Drop-Ins. The Premium Nursers only match the Expandable Drop-Ins. If you want to use generic liners, the Original Nursers are the bottles to use them with because the generics I've seen are only 8 oz. If you use them with the Premium Nursers the measurments won't match up, so you'll need to use a measuring cup, which kind of defeats the purpose of the whole system.

*Also, I'd like to add that the Playtex liners are made in the U.S.A. and the generics are made in China. I know that makes a difference to me when I'm chosing a product, so I thought I'd pass that info along.

Comparing the Originals to the Premiums, there's not much difference. When I was first looking at bottles, I preferred the look of the Premiums, so I bought those. Then, my husband came home with an Original and, after using it, I almost preferred it over the Premiums. Now, I like them both about the same. The one thing I don't care for with these bottles is that the cap fits so tightly that when I remove it, it sprays little drops of formula on me and usually on the counter. It's not a big deal but the caps are much easier to get off from the Premium Nursers.

I will continue to use these bottles for my son and if we ever have another baby I'll use them for him/her.

I was previously using Playtex ventaire bottles, and my son goes through about 6 bottles/day. That is a lot of bottles to wash each day, and on top of that the Ventaire's have so many parts, so washing them is really a chore. I finally gave in and bought this drop-in bottle. It is SO much more convenient for me to only have to wash the nipples, and my son hasn't even seemed to notice that I changed bottles on him. Also the liners are recyclable, so that takes away some of the guilt of creating more trash. Other benefits: it doesn't leak, the nipples don't collapse, and you don't get air bubbles b/c the liner collapses as baby sucks out the milk. All in all I wish I had used these bottles from the beginning. They are a huge time-saver. I didn't buy this on Amazon, but I wish I did b/c it's about $2 cheaper than the baby store I got mine from.

I'm a first time Mom and I loved these bottles...they were great for my daughter and I highly recommend them.

Ive been using these for about 4 years now, 2 kids.

They make it easy to get a clean bottle fast.

Found that both my daughters loved on ly the playtex nipple and it turned out to be perfect since they made disposable liners.

Never had one leak on me.

Now if they only made the nipples this easy to clean :)
