I want to place an order for the Evenflo balance + but I see that there are different oz options on the website ( 4 oz, 5 oz, 6 oz). Which do you recommend ? Baby is due in a couple weeks! Thank you!!
Thanks for the recommendation, just placed an order for the evenflo five ounces wide neck bottle . Meanwhile we have been using the hegen bottle with slow flow nipples , any thoughts on that ? We have tried a bunch of different ones including pigeons but baby didn’t like them and choked a lot on them . The problem with hegen though is that there is lots of swallowed air so burping is sometimes a nightmare. I suspect it’s because of suboptimal latch . Thanks for your input in advance!
I know you said that bottles that look like the nipple were “gimmicks” or whatnot but have you tried the new Emulait bottles with their new responsive flow valves and silicone?
I love the idea of them but the slope of the nipple is still not my favorite. Very wide base and it doesn’t slope gradually. It overall has the same issues as the como tomo in that it encourages a lazy latch.
I am not a fan of these because of the long nipple and non-gradual slope. This encourages straw-like breastfeeding, where the baby only hangs out on the nipple and sucks that way. Babies generally can't get a very deep latch on them as well.
They aren't the worst bottle - the nipple shape isn't my favorite, and it can be a fast flow (even with the slow flow). But I like it more than some bottles. I will say that there was a change in one of the bottles (I think the natural flow), and the flow is TOO slow - as in, a baby will be bottle feeding for an hour and not get a thing. So I would be careful with that.
Your bottle review was incredibly insightful and helpful-thank you for sharing your honest opinions!😀
My baby eventually wanted it from the tap only. She rejected all bottles.
I’m trying the Evenflo. It’s available it target, so hopefully if I happen to need one, I might be able to get one the same day.
Wonderful video. Thank you!
The Medela Calma nipple has been a life saver

My baby. Dosen't want my breast anymore he is 11 weeks old please help
What size bottles do you recommend having available for the first couple months? 4oz or 8oz?
4 ounce!
What is your opinion on the mam bottle?
What are your thoughts on the Haakaa nipples? I’m glad you mentioned Lansinoh too :)
Not a fan :) it’s flattened and it’s very tall with a strange transition to the base.
what are your thoughts on the Buubibottle by Quark and the chicco duo bottle?
What do you think about the boon Nursh nipples? I think they look like Comotomo, but I feel like they have a shorter nipple
I love the idea of them but the slope of the nipple is still not my favorite. Very wide base and it doesn’t slope gradually. It overall has the same issues as the como tomo in that it encourages a lazy latch.
How do you feel about MAM
Any thoughts on nanobebe bottles?
@thebreastfeedingmama
I am not a big fan of it. Long nipple, no gradual slope to the base.
I know an evenflo nipple when I see it lol. I wish they were easier to find though
I wish they were, too!!
What about comotomo bottles?

What about the Avent bottle?
They aren't the worst bottle - the nipple shape isn't my favorite, and it can be a fast flow (even with the slow flow). But I like it more than some bottles.

thanks for the info!
