Yes, I’m mostly a tech nerd with no hobbies outside of thigns that glow (or make me glow), but I’m trying to pretend to be a grown up; got 3 children now, gotta keep up appearances.

I don’t much care for Avent bottles; plastic sort of turns me off; stubby stature is pretty handy, but I’m pretty sure they make squat bottles so they can be different to everyone else .. by which I mean, different accessories (sterilizers, carryalls, warmers, etc.) But in the end, although durable, I find them leaky. Easy to wash with any kind of bottle cleaner though.

Gerbers, also plastic, yet tall and more what most peopel think when they hear ‘baby bottle’, are pretty good; never leak, but being tall and thin, harder to wash.. but we’ve got a sturdy thin bottle cleaner that works a treat, so okay.

But we had to switch around a bit, since one of the twins was inhaling the formula — slower nipple you could get, and that child was slirping it back too fast. Crazy. So we went to Evenflo glass bottles — glass is good, solid and nice and traditional; easy to wash, standard size for sterilizers etc; not a problem for us to clean due to the proper bottle cleaner.

And cheap, really.

Playtex drop-ins are pretty handy, and faster to use; drop in the little liner, fill up with goo and good to go; toss the liner and repeat, no fuss. But those liners do add up.

So over to the glass bottles, like momma used to use :)
