Expensive but easy,
I use this to feed my daughter. Its expensive, but I don’t have to worry about mixing or finding water that I want to use. I also looked on some sites ([....]) and it says this doesn’t contain BPA (in the packaging). Most other formulas do.

|Good For Babies Not Wanting Formula,
We tried feeding our baby Enfamil when he first switched to formula, but he hated the taste and refused it. Our friend told us that Similac was the best formula that compared to the taste of breastmilk. She actually bought various formulas and did a taste test. Our baby loves this formula and is thriving on it. Some people have said the powder is hard to mix, but we have not had any problems. We have found that room temp bottled water mixes the best.

|Perfect for Picky Breastfed Babies!,
I read some of the bad reviews on these bottles and never had any problems with leaking liquids.
It is true that the few few sucks they seem to take in a lot of air, but if you burp regularly during feeding (which, in my opinion, you should do anyway) then it doesn’t affect them.
I exclusively breastfed my baby for about 2 months, slowly introducing bottles in the last month before I had to return to work full time. He had the hardest time taking ANY bottle. He’d fuss, cry, and push it away until I gave in and just nursed.
When it came time to go to work, he was freaking out with his grandparents. He refused to eat all day long with them and just cried and cried until I got off and picked him up. I was devastated, and it almost drew me to quit my job so that I could be with him. The thought of him wailing all day long broke my heart.
So, desperate, I went to the store and bought every brand of bottle they offered! Dr Browns, Avent, Playtex Drop Ins (with several different nipples), Training Sippy Cups, Adiri, Nubi, Prince Lionheart and of course First Years Breastflow. One weekend I tried every single one. When I gave him the breastflow, he latched on immediately and GULPED in a way I’ve only seen him do while he’s nursing! He even fell asleep in my arms after the feeding!
Truely, to this day, he will only eat from these bottles and I’m so comfortable going to work now. These bottles offered me a relief from my anxiety, and I thank the person who designed them with all of my heart.
Reading the other reviews, these bottles may not be good for a colicky baby – however, if your baby is like mine and has a major aversion to the bottle after exclusively nursing – it’s perfect

|Could be better.,
The good things about these bottles are that they go with my breast pump, they’re easy to hold when giving to baby, and they’re great if you want to breast and bottle feed–my newborn got nipple confusion when I gave him a pacifier and forgot how to nurse right away. When I gave him this bottle he got back on the breast with no problem, which was great!
The bad parts about them are that they’re leaky, and most importantly my baby swallowed so much air it made feedings eternal because I’d have to burp him multiple times and he was so frustrated because he couldn’t get the air out. That’s ultimately why I stopped using these and switched to some plain old cheap nipples. Feeding time was cut in half and mine and his frustration was, too.

|Best bottle for breastfed babies!,
I used this bottle with both my children. My friend introduced me to it when I was going back and forth between breast and bottle. My 1st child preferred the bottle much more and had a hard time feeding whenever I put her to the breast. This bottle made it alot easier to continue breastfeeding because of the double nipple technology – makes babies work for their food as they do when on the breast. When I had my 2nd child, I brought this bottle to the hospital and asked the staff to only use this bottle if they needed to bottle feed him. I recommend this bottle to any mom planning to breastfeed their child.
