I am currently 5 months pregnant and will be planning to exclusively formula feed. Which bottles would you recommend for a non breast fed baby? I’ve been looking into different ones like Dr Browns, Lanisoh, NUK. Does the triangle test still apply in this case? Thank you!

My DD never got on with Mam although everyone around us loved them! They made her super gassy. We liked Lansinoh because the teat shape seemed to promote the best latch, and they minimal pieces meant they were easy to clean. We used the glass ones.

After trying lots of bottles and teats e.g. tommee tippee ,mam, we settled on boots own baby bottles and teats. They were cheap, durable and the shape of the teat worked well for our son. He couldn't get on with the with the others - TT being the worst for him, they are meant to be nipple shaped but were quite wide and milk was always leaking from the corners of his mouth x

How are you planning to sterilise and store? All the equipment and bottles can take up quite a bit of room. We settled on Milton tablets and a Milton steriliser tub - could fit five bottles in there! Was very space saving and doesn't use any electricity, just cold water. I rate it.

I've always used avent natural, I went through all different brands with my oldest but the avent natural ones were the only ones he liked/didn't give him colic x

I was thinking of buying the mumcozy washer and steriliser I’ve read it’s a lifesaver and can fit more than 4 bottles

@Starlight987 sounds good, I think holding a minimum four bottles is essential :)
