When our 2nd baby was born in 2008, there was a big movement towards BPA free bottles and I jumped on the bandwagon and went with these Born Free bottles as many moms recommended them to me. We had used Avent with our 1st and these looked very similar.
Well they turned out to be not just good but FANTASTIC! They NEVER leak and the nipple is big and wide that it did not create confusion when transitioning from breast to bottle.
Yes, there are more parts to clean than the regular bottle and they are one of the most expensive bottle out there but they are worth EVERY PENNY!
When our 3rd baby was born, 5 months ago, I bought some Avent BPA Free bottles to try and they were a leaky mess. My husband even said he wanted to go back to the Born Free.
I recommend these to anyone and everyone who wants an awesome bottle that will last a long time, is safe and doesn't leak. |
Love these bottles!

| We started out the the Playtex Ventaire bottles and switched over to these after recieving a free one in the mail. They are so easy to clean and, unlike the Playtex bottles, don't leak! Plus there are mutliple nipple levels. My 5 month old is on the Level 2 and it's perfect. We swtich from breast to bottle and she has had no problems. The bottles are a little more pricey than the Playtex but they are definitely worth it. |
Fantastic Bottles

| We have been using these bottles since the first week she was born. Going between breastfeeding and these bottles/nipples has not been a problem at all! And she has had no problem with air either. We just got lucky I guess that I picked these to go on our registry. But boy am I ever glad I did... |
Born Free is no longer the only BPA-free game in town

| For our first kid back in mid 2007, we succumbed to the BPA paranoia and dumped our beloved Avent (Polycarbonate) bottles for these expensive Born Free BPA-free Polyether Sulphone bottles. And they have served us faithfully for two years (our 2 year old is still using them). But I curse every time I have to wash the bottles, with their two extra complicated parts (compared to the Avent bottles). In Sept 2009, we had our second child, and we went back to Avent. Since every other maker of bottles has a line of BPA-free bottles, we no longer have to accept such a complicated bottle with so many extra parts. So this time around, we went straight back to Avent's new Polypropylene (PPE) BPA-free bottles. No more Born Free for us! (But becareful with Avent...don't buy the honey-colored PES BPA-free bottles, which come in the yellow-color box. These PES bottles leak! Buy the PPE Avent BPA-free bottles, which are cloudy in appearance and come in the blue-colored box). |
LOVE THESE BOTTLES!

| We tried these bottles after we stopped breastfeeding/pumping and were using my Medela bottles for formula. The Medela bottles started to leak and the formula would get really foamy from the air from her going into the bottle. The BornFree bottles are great. They don't leak, the nipples don't collapse, and the formula doesn't get as foamy. The bit of foam is probably from shaking it to mix the formula. The baby doesn't seem to be taking in as much air, and is spitting up less. At first it was hard for her to latch on to the wide-base nipple, because she was used to the regular nipples. Now, after a week, she has gotten used to them. It seems to have slowed her drinking speed as well - which also helps with her spitting up. I hand wash the bottles than sterilize. The only annoying this is that the extra parts take up too much of the drying space on the bottle wrack. I don't find the extra parts hard to clean at all. I also love that the lid touches the top of the nipple to help prevent leaks when shaking or traveling. The only big downfall is the price. At $9-$10 per bottle, it is quite pricey compared to some others, but the bottles are definitely good quality. Also love the BPA free. I would definitely recommend these bottles to any new mom. |
