Need Suggestions/Recommendations

Ok so my son is a monster on his bottle. He either sucks so hard and makes all these funy noises or he is sleeping and eating at the same time(he has seemed to master that). I planned on using the Drop Ins, but for now he will not take the nipples on them. We had the nursettes from the hospital and once I tried the Drop Ins he would not take them b/c the nipple is so much bigger than the small nipple that he was using. He likes to put his whole mouth around it and he cannot with the Drop Ins. Well I tried the Vent air bottles and those nipples are too slow for him. I bought the Gerber BPA free bottles with the vents in the nipples and the bottles are aweseome, but the nipples leak (it is like they do not fit properly). So anyways, I have been using the gerber bottles with the nursette nipples or these other nipples I just bought the other day. I just want something consistent that reduces the air and helps with the gas. It is like I can hear the air going into his stomach because he is such a beast on the bottle. Any ideas would be great! Thanks landies. Hopefully with trial and error we can find something that works good! I just do not understand why the make bottles that leak....ughhhh!

Are you formula feeding or pumping and feeding in a bottle? Im formula feeding and using Avent bottles. She hasn't been getting much air, at least i dont think so. But they've been working fine for me with no leaking.

I am just formula feeding. Are the nipples small?

I was using regular gerbers but Ive been trying to have Avery hold his bottle so I bought Nuby brand and theyre great they even have rbumps on the nipple for teething!!!

Yeah their prett small i guess. My daughter just puts the end of it in her mouth.

My son is only 2 1/2 weeks old so he will not be holding his bottle yet..although he does try..lol

She 11 days. 2 weeks on Monday.

Quoting Sweet Natalie:“ She 11 days. 2 weeks on Monday.”

Oh ok. Thanks hun. I am gonna try it for his next feeding.

Quoting Troy's Mama:“ Oh ok. Thanks hun. I am gonna try it for his next feeding.”

i am feeding him now and he likes it...do they come in bpa free? I am gonna go check.

yeah i think so. I had to go buy some more bottles yesterday and im pretty sure i saw some. Are the one's that aren't really bad? DO you know the difference between them? Because i just have the regular ones

I just looked online and it looks like like don't come in BPA free. I googled it and went to babies r us. Maybe since he took this bottle, he will take the drop ins now. I will try tomorrow. He was only 5 days old when I first tried them.

They have them at target. I dont know why their not in the BPA free section but if you look at the box it says it on it.

For the ventaires they have a medium flow if you want to try it. They come with the slow flow... I might have given you some medium flows but they may have been for the drop ins, I dont remember.

Kailyn didnt start the drop ins until she was probably 4-5 months old... but I also didnt try to offer them before then because we were happy with the ventaires.
