Dr Browns bottles

[Roskva]

Is anyone else using these? If so, do have any tips on stopping the wretched things leaking?

HV recommended them for my colicky baby, but they are driving me nuts!

mine don't leak. they leak if they are overfilled. or if the milk is too hot. when do they leak the most? while you are feeding?

Mine leak when out and about, but thats because I dont use the stopper thingies, so make sure i carry them upright now.

Also dont over-fill, its tempting i know but it causes leaks too.

Mine leak if I shake them to make sure the formula is mixed (actually, they are worse if the water I use is warmer), when I feed dd, upright in my bag if I forget to use the travel thingy, and really just about any time a bottle can leak. I'm sure I must be doing something wrong...

these drove me nuts too but they were doing a good job on the colic. I used the tommee tippee version. They leaked when they were turned up to feed and i mean flood out leaking. I just had to stop, re-screw it and start again. Few screams in the mean time but got there in the end.

I found they leak too, and didn't help much with colic.

Tommee Tippee closer to nature bottles seem to be pretty good.

i remember trying to sterilise them for the first time! i nearly threw them through the window. so fiddley. i mix the formula in a jug first (when doing several bottles at a time) cos i also found they leaked when you shake them to mix the formula. mine only leak now when they are either overfilled or the water is too hot.

Mine leak if I tighten the collar and teat too much as it kinks the bottom of the teat. Keep off the spinach !! Too strong for your own good !!
