mam or dr brown bottles?

[lunavix]

Planning on breastfeeding when have bump, but will get some bottles in just in case (before any militant-types jump on me, because I used them for expressing, also because breastfeeding REALLY didn't work for ds, and also because dh is quite keen on a bedtime bottle feed)

I really didn't get on with avent bottles, so what would people suggest? Dh quite likes the look of dr brown ones, he has no idea how they work but approves that they claim to be anticolic (which was a major issue with ds). I like mam ones, ds had mam dummies which he loved, plus well they claim to be anti colic too.

Do any more sensible sorts have any advice?

Breastfed ds will only take mam teats, he wont go near an avent one. Can't help with the colic thing, except to say neither of my two have had it using mam teats and bottles. Not much help really am I?!

hmm interesting that a breastfed baby will take mam though as I would like it to go smoothly this time.

We had avent bottles originally and ds was terrible, screaming in pain after every feed after about 5-6 week i got mam bottles and within a few days the screaming after every feed stopped, maybe just coincidence but i think mam r better than avent. HTH

well that's good to know too :)

ds definately had worse colic with them, but it took colief to get rid of it completely. Found the avent bottles always leaked too.

Yeah we found that with avent bottles.

Mam bottles r slightly cheaper than dr browns as well.

If you still have your old bottles you can just buy mam teats
