We are using Avent. LO is mainly breast fed although he's gotten a number of bottles due to breast feeding issues. There doesn't seem to be any nipple confusion. The only thing I don't like is that the newborn flow nipple (the 1s) seem to be too fast for him and he sometimes chokes/wheezes. I will probably get some tommee tippees to try out.

I exclusively pump.  I use Medela because that's what came with my pump and a friend with 2 kids also recommended them.  I've never tried another brand but the Medela ones work great for us.

We use Playtex VentAir bottles.  We have used them since our first day home and never had any problems.

We use Born Free. Well.ca had them on for a dollar a bottle a while ago and I ordered a bunch. They're ridiculously priced at BRU... like $11 a bottle or something stupid like that.

We used the Medela with DD because I got four from the hospital and four came with my pump.  She took them fine, so that's what we went with.  It made getting her bottles ready much easier - I just switched out the cap for a nipple and put them in her bag.

So far DS is fine with Medela too.

I use the Avent Natural bottles and Tommee Tippee.  We had a bit of nipple preference for a week or so but managed to get through it.  I really want to try the Breastflow by First Years...has anyone used this kind?

Born Free and Medela.  Doesn't seem to make much of a difference with my little guy.

We use the new Similac bottles. I was mainly breastfeeding and got one in the mail so used it out of convenience. Bought more now for daycare and love them.

I use MAM bottles. When we first got home from the hospital DD would only take the MAM paci's and my pediatrition said they are the best because they actually sooth the sucking reflex. Because she took them so well we just went ahead and tried the bottle too with MUCH success.

Orrigionally we tried the Playtex Drop-In's and DD Just gagged on every nipple we tried with those so that's another reason we did the MAM.

Another reason i really really love the MAM bottles is that the Anti-Colic bottles are self steralizing.

DD is strictly formula fed.  We use Similac (which she does not like - the flow is too slow) and Medela (I was pumping for a while.  She doesn't have a real issue with these bottles) and Born Free.  We both LOVE the Born Free bottles.  The flow is pretty quick though, even on the level 1 nipple.  But she's a chow hound, so she likes it. LOL  I bought some cheap Evenflo bottles too, and she HATES them.  Hates, hates, hates them.  Refused to finish the bottle until I switched it into a Born Free bottle all three times I tried.

When ds was BF'ed and getting pumped milk, I just used the ones that came with my medela pump.

Now, that ds is just FF'ed we use Dr. Brown's.  He won't take anything else now.
