Dr Browns to Phillips Avent switch

I ebf, but use bottles when I need a break. I will only use the phillips avent. Ive tried others, but he has a habit of throwing up if the bottle is too fast, or comes out on its own. We are still on the newborn size because we pace feed, and it works wonders. He can still finish a bottle in no time, but doesnt hurt his belly. I would reccommend it to any mom who breastfeeds.
@Lauren Michelle that’s awesome. Good to know. Thank you! Hope our transition goes well too. My boy will be 3 months soon.
@Sapphire yes same! I breastfeed and bottle feed. Thank you!
Also every baby is different so if you do plan to switch I’d suggest starting at a lower nipple! We just have a v impatient girl who fusses when she can’t drink her milk quick enough haha! We’re also formula only. Hope this helps and good luck mama 😊💕
We switched from Dr browns to Avent bottles! We were trying to figure out what was causing our little one so much discomfort and we believe the doctor brown bottles contributed to it. The change in our babies fussiness was like a night and day difference once we switched. We went from having to give gas drops at every feeding to only giving at night and no more fussiness. We are still using flow 1 on the Avent bottles. He finishes in about 8-10 minutes with no issues.
I use the Philips avent anti colic plastic bottles. My son loves them we had one dr brown at the beginning I got for free he liked it but I liked the deeper flared lips patch he gets torn the Philips avent. I want to switch my son to glass bottles and I’m thinking of staying with the Philips avent but glass
We were given Dr. Browns bottles with Premie nipple at the hospital but it was too fast for my baby so we switched to Philips Avent glass bottles and so far it’s been okay since I breastfeed and bottle feed. It does not interfere with breastfeeding imo. My baby has bad reflux and I wouldn’t say Avent bottles have helped with that but they’re definitely better than Dr. Browns bottle.
Hi all, we tried to switch to Avent bottle and tried all nipple sizes 1,2,3,4. And my baby has straight up rejected it. So looks like we are stuck with Dr browns! Also 3 month babies are smarter than I imagined.
i've had mine on the phillips avent anti colic since i started formula and haven't had a single issue!! i tried the regular phillips avent in the very beginning and didn't like it, i could t tell you why bc it was the beginning and i think i was just trying to get the hang of everything, i think the flow was just too fast. i really like the anti colic and just upgraded to a pack of 9oz from the 4oz
We also transitioned from Dr brown to the Phillips avent! We switched at around 1 month. We’re 3 months now on nipple size 4. And we absolutely love them!! Just make sure the little notch on the nipple matches up w the notch on the white topper! Can’t say enough great things about them!
