hi. just in case in you still need an answer, Dr. Brown's worked great for us. Its not the most easy to clean friendly, but its construction makes it very easy on baby for burping, gas and colic. congrats!

Thank you for your quesion. The Born Free bottle is considered wide neck which makes it easier to clean than narrow or "standard neck" bottles. Also, the Born Free bottle has a wide nipple which is more similar to breast feeding and helps reduce nipple confusion.

I have had the best luck with born free. They are BPA free and work great with babies with or without reflux issues.

Yes. My baby is strictly breastfed so he only gets a bottle on the occasion I have to be away for more than a couple of hours. He has to work the outer nipple enough to put pressure on the inner nipple which is a lot like nursing. I still suggest burping a few times during bottle feeding to slow it down a bit but he doesn't go through it as quickly as other babies I've seen using "normal" bottles.

I'm sorry I don't know. I've had to switch to advent bottles. My LO and I could no longer breast feed and found she didn't need a nipple to stimulate breast flow. She is much happier on classic flow.

To be honest, I looked at Tommy Tippee and never tried it. My daughter has been EBF since day one and did not have bottles. When we tried Advent, Dr. Brown, Medela and Playtex...she would not latch and just got angry. This is the ONLY bottle she will take. She is four months old. It has a real natural nipple that is wider. It also is a soft bottle, it can mimic "let down". I really like it for when my husband is feeding her while I am at appointments/away.

Yes, bottle and nipple. The nipple was a little long for our 2 month old. He ended up getting use to a cheap nipple and bottle while we waited on his mouth to grow longer. I really wanted him to use it because it is most like a nipple and fits the pumping system...but baby rules and no go.

The 3 - 8 oz bottles and 2 - 4 oz bottles comes with Level One nipples. This newborn feeding set also provides 2 extra nipples but those nipples are Level Two. Hope that helps.

I use the Philips Avent BPA Free Breast Milk Storage. It's containers, not bags. But you can pump directly into them and also feed baby directly from them. It recommends tossing after 3 uses. They stack nicely in the fridge. BUT for freezing (I'm not there yet), I would probably just pour into any milk storage freezer bag. Less air in the container and probably takes up less room.

I'm sorry I can't help you with the basket issue. What I can tell you is that these bottles are the best!!! My grandson was in NICU after birth and they used hospital bottles with a long skinny nipple. He did not want to nurse until she started using these. Also, less air getting in which meant less gas and spitting. She loves these bottles!

Both sizes come with medium flow nipples which are fine to use with newborns. This is my third baby and I will tell you that these are by far the best bottles I've ever used. Good luck Mama!

Consumer Reports Online has some excellent guides on EVERYTHING including a guide to buying bottles. Their recommendation in a nutshell? Most nipples are the same...Use Silicone not latex and be prepared to try other types of nipples (slow, medium, fast) as each baby will have a different preference.

Hi there - happy to answer - we have both for our daughter - majority of our bottles however are the Lansinoh mOmma bottle - we love love love them - they are the best out there. How old is your son? We prefer them over the Tommee Tippee bottles. We have tried many and think these are the best out there! Hope this helps. Our daughter isn't gassy.

if you want to make your own fake bottles, the preemie 2 oz. bottles at family dollar are perfect.(can also be gotten on ebay and dollsbysandie.com ) i like to seal both the nipples and the area around the bottom with silicone glue and then i fill half the bottle with h20 and elmers and seal the cap with packing tape:)

We bought one of both to try and ended up settling on buying more of the Pura Kikki. While not an exhaustive review my quick summary would be (noting that our preference ended up being Pura Kiki): Pura Kiki: +Lighter than LifeFactory (important for if/when the baby is holding or when you are travelling) +More robust then LifeFactory (important for if/when baby starts throwing/dropping the bottles and travelling) +Can use the nipples/tops interchangeably on the small Pura Kiki and the large Pura Kiki bottles. +Can convert to sippy cup and also food container (for example we keep Gerber Puffs in one of our PK's when travelling) +Can fit other brand's nipples e.g. we ended up using MAM nipples -Cannot sanitize in the Microwave -When using the flat cap tops to mix formula we have sometimes (and only sometimes) noticed a slight leakage from where the flat silicone top didn't properly seal. -Not quite as easy to see how much water/liquid is in the Pura Kiki. Need to have a reasonable light source and look in through the top at the interior markings. Usually not an issue, however if your kitchen doesn't have good ambient light then means you need to switch on the lights etc. Or if travelling etc. LifeFactory: +As it is glass it is easier to sanitize when travelling or at home by using the Microwave +Easy to see how much liquid is in the bottle -Heavier As for price, it varies and depends on the full lifetime of the bottle. We bought Pura Kiki and would do so again if we went back in time.

I tried the spout out. Baby still needs to suckle to drink out of bottle. However, without the valve, the flow is faster than a regular bottle. The spout is also more like a sippy cup to get them ready to transition to a cup with a harder spout.

Honestly ... i cannot remember. She's been off the bottle for quite a while. I can tell you ... They are AMAZING. I would've NEVER believed a bottle could make such a difference in a baby. You could probably call or email the company the question. Good luck!
