Baby Bottle: Playtex Baby VentAire for Colic Relief

Lactation consultant recommended, Mommy approved!
These are great. My son took to these very well. When traditional breastfeeding wasn’t working out, I turned to my pump and needed a good bottle. My lactation consultant recommended these. The nipple is appropriate and the bottle is bent, easily allowing you to feed the baby in an upright position to help avoid ear infections. The vent portion does do something, because he does have less digestive stress using these than some others we tried (such as the Medela nipple that came with the pump set, Philips Avent, Chicco). The nipple that comes with the 6oz is slow flow and medium flow for the 9oz. I bought both sizes, but extra slow flow nipples for the 9oz. I don’t know if he’ll ever need a faster flow while drinking breast milk.They have a lot of parts, but I only hand wash the nipples. I disassemble them, and place the top white piece, bottom white piece and blue vent into a dishwasher basket (I like the OXO version, its pretty spacious). The bottles themselves can go directly onto the spokes of your dishwasher. With the bottoms removed, I think the Playtex bottles get cleaner than the other brand once piece bottle designs, as those usually get tossed around and filled with dishwasher water and random food pieces. These are fully cleaned and rinsed every time. My dishwasher doesn’t dry them well, or any other plastic part from the top rack. I take them out of the dishwasher and put them on a bottle rack to FULLY DRY BEFORE USING. I use the 2 tier Munchkin rack, it has room for all of the assorted parts. Assembling wet parts can cause leakage. If the parts are dry, the bottles will not leak!For warming, as it is expressed breast milk that I’m feeding, I take the bottle out of the fridge and place it in a warm bowl of water for about 10 minutes. My son’s daycare uses a crockpot. Neither I nor his daycare have had a leaky bottle.Just assemble them dry and you will have no problems! They’re great bottles.

They leak
I’ve never had this many problems with a bottle. I used the same kind 15 years ago with my first child and they worked great back then. Now they leak everywhere. Imagine you have a screaming child at 2 o’clock in the morning, you go make a bottle only to get back to your room and discover that it is leaked all the way from the kitchen all over your bed all over your child and now you’ve got to stay up the rest of the night to try and clean up the mess that one leaking bottle caused. It is a nightmare. Do not buy these bottles. It doesn’t really matter how perfectly you put them together because the little rubber pieces inside are all different sizes anyway so some just leak. These are a complete waste of money and I am furious I bought these and made my life so much harder than it needs to be.

love the shape of then very uniqe
