After trying several different bottles :(Avent,Mam,Nuk,Thinkbaby &Green to Grow)These are the only bottles my Exclusively Breastfed son would take when I retuned to work.The latex nipples are much softer than the silicone ones & closer to the real thing. No gas issues either. I only wish the bottles were cuter. Otherwise I would have given them 5 stars. They aslo have a milk storage kit that adapts to Medela pumps to pump directly into a bag to store and drop in the bottle- ready to feed!

If you have to pump and store your milk, the Playtex system is the easiest. I pump into a drop-in sleeve (target brand is the same and much cheaper) and set up bottles when I get home from work. I stay two days ahead so I don't have to worry about freezing.

If you plan on returning to work, start pumping after feedings when your baby is about three weeks old. You won't get much at first; don't be discouraged. I am a regular dairy farm now and my baby is two months old.

Introduce the bottle at four weeks so you can pump and replace the bottle you used. The more you pump, the more milk you produce. Now she gets three bottles while I am away and milk from the tap when I'm home.

I love breast feeding. Don't give up! As long as your baby is growing and getting fat (pee and poop diapers daily), you are okay; your milk IS good enough! You do not need to suppliment with formula.

I have tried countless bottles and 4 kids later - still love these the most. I prefer the fold down liners though, drop ins leak and pop open when "burping" the bottle for newborn feeding. The best feature of all is the flat lids that stack neatly in my diaper bag - I travel with a stack of nipples and lids, two bottle tubes and a roll of liners! It makes using a small diaper bag possible!

This nipples are the perfect size for my newborn. He hates the Medela bottles because the nipple base isn't wide enough. I primarily breast feed, but these are great for babysitters when I go out. It is also so convenient to pump milk into Lansinoh or Gerber freezer bags and put them directly into these bottles. The only reason I'm not giving them 4 stars is because my husband doesn't like the bag system. He would rather just have a reusable bottle.

I had this set with my son, and I loved it. It's great for working moms who nurse. My son had no problems with nipple confusion, and it was so easy to drop a thawed bag of breastmilk into the bottle instead of a liner.

I used the original Playtex nursers on my past 3 children with much success--no colic, gas, or spit-up. When we used them, they had a flat topped, latex nipple and you only had to squeeze the air out at the beginning of the feeding and they didn't refill with air. Now, with number 4, we've had one problem after another. We started out with the 4 oz. at 2 weeks and she did just fine for a couple weeks then started gulping, choking, and crying everytime she fed. I noticed there were little tears in the latex ALREADY! I replaced them with the silicone and she began to take nearly an hour to eat. At 1 1/2 months, she was still taking nearly an hour to eat and eating every 2 hours. The things I dislike most about these are as follows:

--leak in my diaper bag because caps do NOT seal top of nipple
--liners can detach and leak--more like soak mom and baby
--changed nipple design so air refills bottle everytime it is put down (even on its side) to burp baby
--can't shake to mix formula unless done without cap so I don't make a mess
--formula must be pre-measured using seperate measuring cup
--certainly not economical or enviromentally friendly since you have to toss out a plastic liner with each use.
Every baby is different and I swore by these until our new baby arrived. I think they shouldn't keep trying to improve upon an already excellent product. We use the Avent system now and have no trouble. You'll hear all kinds of complaints about them as well.

If it works for you--stick with it!

I breastfeed, but my husband or older daughter give these bottles to my baby when they babysit. They have not caused any nipple confusion. It is also convenient to just drop in the liner when I need to express to fill a bottle.

First of all, the Playtex drop-ins system has been around for so long because it is excellent. I used this 11 years ago with my first daughter, then again for my second daughter, and I'll be using them again for my newborn. These are the best bottles for reducing gas and all the associated problems. These are the easiest to clean. I can't say enough great things about this system.

As for this set, it is a really great starter set for a newborn baby - it really makes a great gift for a mom who will be bottle feeding. It has everything you need to get started and even a few different nipples for you to experiement with to see which one your baby likes best. I highly recommend this product!

I love Playtex Drop-Ins! I had issues with milk production (or lack thereof) and needed to supplement breastfeeding with formula from birth. My son had no problem switching between the breast and bottle (we used the silicone nipples). It was a huge relief as the snotty lactation consultant at the hospital swore up and down that there was no way we could successfully do both (she was basically suggesting I starve my baby until my milk increased, which never happened).

In addition to no nipple confusion you just can't beat the convenience. I've never had to scrub/sanitize/boil a bottle. I don't even own a nasty bottle brush. These really make life a little easier... awesome when you're sleep deprived and trying to adjust to life with a new baby.

And we never had issues with gas.
