Really wanted to love this bottle for my newborn. Easy to latch onto bottle but my baby gasps up and spits up milk as she is trying to drink multiple times. Also lid is extremely tedious to screw correctly.
1 reply from Evenflo Feeding team - 3 months ago
Hi Jenn, sometimes the initial flow of the bottle can be overwhelming to a baby. Please try letting your baby latch onto the bottle with the nipple empty of milk. Once Baby starts sucking, tip the bottle so milk can flow. This should make a big difference. This link might have some other helpful suggestions: https://www.evenflofeeding.com/blogs/bottles/how-to-have-a-calm-gulp-free-feeding. Thanks!

We tried so many bottle brands… Tommee Tippee, Mam, Dr. Brown’s, etc. but none of them performed nearly as well as these. They’re easy to wash and have held up great in our Brezza sterilizer/dryer. So many lactation consultants recommend these for a reason. They’re great and didn’t cause my son to develop a bottle preference or weaken his latch when I nursed him. So glad we tried these bottles early on! They’ve made feedings so easy!
Great

I am breastfeeding my baby and also alternating to this bottle my baby does well with this baby bottle. I believe it’s because of the wide nipple that mimics my breast.

Real person, real review here. This bottle is not it. Yeah the nipples are *cool* but the whole bottle config is crap. It actually doesn’t fit my Spectra flange so here I am holding it together for each pump. My actual rage when half my just pumped, just enough bottle leaks out halfway and its 3am with an unsatisfied newborn. This happens all the time and its extremely frustrating as an exclusive pumper. I am throwing these bottles away today and sticking with my Dr. Browns. At least those are always in stock in glass when I need them.

Hi Kris3682, we do not manufacture our bottles to work with other brands of breast pumps--it is recommended to pump into the bottles that came with your pump and pour the milk into our bottles. As for leaking, we would love to help troubleshoot why that might be happening, unless you have moved on already. You are welcome to reach out to our support team at supprt@evenflofeeding.com and reference CS-8631. Thanks!

Go with a different bottle brand. You can have it screwed on just fine and give it to your baby and it just leaks everywhere! There is also a pocket in the nipple that collects debris and is next to impossible to clean unless you use a Qtip
1 reply from Evenflo Feeding team - 3 months ago
Hi Melissa, sorry to hear you are having difficulty with the Balance + bottle. It is possible that cap rings from two different manufacturing locations have been switched. See more here: https://www.evenflofeeding.com/blogs/bottles/balance-wide-has-a-new-bottle-design. Also, we recommend rinsing bottles with cool water immediately after use (before washing with soap). This immediate rinse helps remove milk residue with ease. Hope this helps.
Not the best.

The numbers to measure the amount of liquid rubbed off within a month. You have to make sure that you get the lid perfectly screwed in right, otherwise you will be crying over spilled milk. I have to rescrew the top multiple times and tip it over a little bit to make sure my baby is not going to completely drenched in milk. These are the bottles we have used for 3.5 months now. Only because these were the only ones that she would take when she was nursing and bottle feeding. Now that she is exclusively bottle fed, I have finally switched her to a different bottle. Thank goodness, because I’m not sure how much milk I am pouring in there anymore.
Love the shape but not the flow

The shape of the nipple is very unique and great for latching but there's absolutely nothing slow about the "slow flow" nipple. My baby still can gulp and gets hiccups every time using these bottles
Great for combo fed babies

Our baby primarily nurses but we wanted to incorporate occasional bottle feeding to allow dad to be apart of feedings, to give us some flexibility, and for when I go back to work. These bottles have been great. They have been a part of our daughter’s eating routine since she was one week old. She is now almost 7 weeks old and has had no issue going back and forth between nursing and a bottle.

These bottle are okay I only got them cause we left out of town and only had one bottle on us so I got the evenflo balence + wise cause it kinda mimicked her bobo bottle. I did like this bottle for my daughter until I realized the nipple gets like flat when she drinks and has to take out the bottle to let the nipple get air I don’t know how to explain it or maybe I’m not placing the nipple onto the cap right but My daughter does like the bottle that is the only problem we have with it. I do recommend for a baby that knows how to hold and take out bottle from mouth cause they understand but it must get very annoying for them as well.
Nipple is perfect to use with glass avent bottles

Great ~ promote a wide latch as recommended by LC. We use the nipple with the glass Avent bottles so we don’t have to use the plastic Evenflo bottles (yes we could have just bought the nipples on another site).

Buy these bottles! I previously experienced an issue with the nipple collapsing. I received a replacement pack and these do not colapse and the rings are different, you no longer have to line up the vent.

I love the wide breast like latch my baby gets. Wish they felt more high quality and wish the glass options were better. Nipples are hard to get, no large size in glass options, and the small glass ones are always sold out.
Great product for breastfed babies.

They were fine at first but recently they've started leaking. I was feeding my son at 3am and thought he was drinking it too fast, turns out it was leaking all the way down his clothes and he was soaked, all that milk gone to waste...

Hi Rachel, please check to see that all of your bottles are identical as the pieces manufactured from the old location will not work with bottles manufactured in the new location: https://www.evenflofeeding.com/blogs/bottles/balance-wide-has-a-new-bottle-design. Our consumer care team would be happy to troubleshoot with you. Feel free to reach out to us at support@evenflofeeding.com and reference CS-7497. Thanks!

jp - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
I have a growth restricted baby who absolutely needs to eat as much as he can each feeding. if you don’t line up the nipple perfectly to the vent on the ring the bottle will not work. it will leak so much on the side or wont drip at all. he’s small and doesn’t have much fat so he can’t waste too much energy trying to eat. we switched bottle brands and he instantly started drinking twice as much is less time. with these bottles it was taking almost an hour to feed!
1 reply from Evenflo Feeding team - 8 months ago
Hi JP, Glad you found a bottle that works for your little one. Unfortunately, one bottle will not be "best" for every baby, and you were wise in trying more than one bottle. It sounds like the Balance + bottle was having a venting issue. Here is a link that describes how to resolve the issue if you would like to give them a second chance when your baby is older: https://www.evenflofeeding.com/blogs/bottles/how-to-squeeze-the-nipple-vent.

We tried other bottles and these were the winner! The flow is great and per our LC we should look for this style nipple. I wish they had a smaller size but I haven’t been able to find them. They still fit nicely in the pockets of our diaper bag vs some Bottles that are much wider.
