@Amaryllis i got dr brown and avent also due to many mom's recommendations. However, how many bottles do you recommend to start with? 3?4 bottles?
Best advice is get plenty! With my first baby I bought 5, and it was such a faff to constantly be washing them! Having more meant that I could do a bottle wash say every other day? It takes the pressure off so much! X
We've bought the Mam bottles as a large pack. They were from Smyths for £50 '
I really love Dr Brown as it helps to prevent/alleviate colic with its design. It does have more parts than other brands but I don’t mind washing them (though I know it’s a pain point for many people). I have many mom friends using Philip Avent and they love it too!
