Editorial Review

This nurser starter set is appropriate for the mother who hasn't yet figured out exactly what she and baby want. The five included bottles (two 4-ounce and three 8-ounce) are all of the disposable-liner type--an open-ended plastic sleeve with ounce markings up the side. But the pack includes both standard plastic-bag style disposable liners (in both sizes) and five each of the Playtex Drops-Ins, which are semirigid and have their own lip at the top for convenience. There are also four different kinds of nipple: infant, round, older baby, and orthodontic. One of the 8-ounce sleeves has an "Eazy-Feed" system--essentially, an inner ring that can be pushed up from the outside with one thumb--that acts as a built-in burper. --Richard Farr

Product Description

The Playtex Drop-Ins System is clinically shown to reduce gas, spit-up, and colic and to simulate the natural feeding rhythm of breastfeeding. The pre-sterilized, disposable liners collapse to keep air out of the bottle and your baby's system. The Original Nurser Gift Set provides everything you need in one kit.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best bottle for breastfeeding babies! September 8, 2001

By "kylahsmom"

I have used a lot of different kinds of bottles on my three children. I lived in a small town when I had my first child 7.5 yrs ago, and the Playtex nursers were not available to me. I did use them with my second child and when my third baby was born, I knew that I wanted to use these when I gave her a bottle. She was totally breastfed but I kept her used to the bottle so that her daddy and grandparents could feed her also. I too tried the Avent brand of bottles and to say the least was rather disapointed! They leaked all over everything! I like the Playtex nursers because of the nipple variety. It is much easier to buy the next size or kind of nipple then to buy a whole new set of bottles. I like the fact that you can push all the air out of the bottle before feeding the baby. I also have to say that I like the bags better than the drop-ins because the measurement markings are clearer on them. If you are going to be giving your baby a bottle at all, I would highly recomend skipping all the new fancy bottles and go with something that has been proven to work well in reducing air intake while your baby eats! Go with Playtex nursers! They work great!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use and worked great for my brestfeeding baby! June 24, 2005

By S. Freeman

Okay - I was one of those new moms who had no clue about which bottles of the many types to use for my baby. I read all of the online reviews and decided I would get a couple of each type and try them all. I have the Avent bottles, Dr. Brown's, Gerber, you name it, I have a ton of them.

I exclusively breatfeed my baby and everyday he gets a bottle with his medicine in it along with the bottles I pump for when we will be somewhere that's difficult to breastfeed. In my opinion, this system is HANDS-DOWN THE BEST.

Here's what I like:

The liners are sterile so you can always be sure your baby is drinking out of a clean bottle.

Nothing to wash but the nipple and ring. Its so quick and easy, especially when you are in a hurry or in the middle of the night when its harder to think straight. When he's done, just toss the drop in and wash the nipple and you are ready for your next bottle.

My baby didn't struggle with swallowing air using this bottle like the others I tried because you push the air out. It worked much better for him than the Dr. Brown's bottles. Using these, he didn't struggle with gas pains afterwards.

He switched with no problems from a very early age between the breast and this bottle type. It comes with various nipples to try and the breastfeeding nipple works great for him.

Here is the only downside:

You cannot pump directly into the liners - but that is not a big deal to me. I pump into the Medela CSF bags and store those. When I am ready to make a bottle, I pour it out of the CSF bag and into the liner. It became routine and its not a problem for me to take that extra step.

Good luck in making your choices about bottles for your baby but from a new mom whose tried them all, these really are the best all around.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must for bottle feeding June 28, 2001

By Angela Kraemer

We were using the single feeding bottles we got from the hospital and noticed how much air the baby was getting from the bubbles forming in the bottle during feedings. We also had a hard time getting her to eat more and she was starting to lose weight. We switched over to the Playtex system after a recommendation from our sister-in-law and we have had a lot less problems w/gassiness occuring during feedings. The drop-in liners are easier to use than the other liners and seem to measure out better than the other liners as well. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is thinking of bottle feeding their baby.
