I have got two boys, first one puked for 11 months due to a large hole and therefore it all just fell out if he moved or burped but it didn't hurt him. Second one as I dropped each breast feed around 4 to 5 months got worse and worse acid reflux - really really bad! Have put both onto Goats milk and it has made such a huge difference. Anyway to cut a boring story short - I am 8 months pregnant with number 3 son and am going to start him on goats milk formula when he starts on formula rather than going near cows milk formula. I have also been told that the Advent bottles are THE worst for reflux and colic - so what am I supposed to use? I know I am pre-empting the reflux but the docs say if I have two then I will probably have three with it. If it can be helped by using different bottles then why not try hey? Can anyone help with this matter? I know Doc Brown's are supposed to be good but also a first class pain to clean and sterilise (I have advent steriliser) and so i was wondering if there was anything else I could try? Please help? Thanks so much.

Dr Brown's. Used them for ds1 who had colic and reflux, and they were so much better than Avent ones. Using them now for ds2 who doesn't have either just because they're there.

I don't find them a problem to clean or sterilise. It takes 5-10 minutes each morning, and that's all. You can get a special Dr Brown's brush that helps get into the nooks and crannies. I sterilise by soaking the bottles in a huge tupperware container with water and Milton tablets.

I used Dr Browns - never had a problem cleaning either - just took a couple more mins to clean the pipe

Dr Browns are great and no problem to clean and sterilise - just a few more bits.
