Baby bottle top picks

As a new mom I battled the idea of what baby bottles would work best for us. Of course there is no real way to know untill after baby is born, I thought I would share some of the bottles we have tried, liked, and were not so fond of.

The list is pretty long, so I will spare you and only share a few. These are personal oppinions and observations of the products, and others may feel each bottle worked different for them.

My favorite we tried was the comotomo baby bottle. You can find these on amazon, and many other sites. I loved that the bottle was soft and flexable and made easy to grip for baby. Also since the bottle is a wide nipple its easier for breastfed babies to go back and forth, without becoming to confused! They are simple to wash, and just an all around great bottle.

The adiri natural nurser bottle, which can also be found on amazon, was a very close second. The only doenwn side I found to the bottle was the fact that it opens from the bottom, so it seemed to drip a bit as I was making a bottle. Adiri has since came out with a new model called the next gen, which you are able to fill from the top. I haven't tried this one yet, but I have one in the mail, and will update you when I give it a try! These bottles come Iin 3 stages for slow(0-3) medium (3-6) and fast (6+) flow. 

One more bottle we were very happy with was the tommee tippee, you can find them with this link or also at your local target, meijers, and babies r us stores. The tommee tippee bottles were also very easy to clean, and grip for my son when he was learning to hold on to the bottle on his own. Another thing I really liked with these bottles was that you are able to change out the nipples for a faster flow! You can choose between a regular bottle, and one that offers a collic reducer! 

One bottle I was not so fond of was the bare bottle by bitty lab. Though I really liked the shape of the bottle, and the general idea of making a bottle that was formulated to flow just as a breast does, I wasn't to excited about how much it leaks. I felt like my daughter wore more of her formula then she was able to eat! if anyone else has used and had a better experience with this bottle please let me know!

There is my oppinion on a few of the bottles we tried and what worked and didnt work for us.Remeber, every baby is diferent, so a bottle that worked great for my little, may not be as great for yours. Quality wise my favorites were the adiri, comotomo, and tommee tippee! Asusual, if you have any questions email me at blog.heatherleeigh@gmail.com!

baby brezza- formula pro

So those of you that follow me on instagram ( go follow me with this link) know that I have a strong love for new and modern baby products!

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to test out a pretty fantastic new product called the formula pro by baby brezza.. all I have to say is WOW. In just a few short weeks I feel like this little machine has changed my life! With my husband deployed, it's just me doing the job of 2 parents, and those of you with kids.. know how hard it is even if it's just while your spouse is away for a day! My kids are only 18 months apart, so to just be able to walk to the counter push a button and have a bottle made and warmed in just a few seconds is a life saver.

It holds just the perfect amount of water (50 ml) and the perfect amount of formula (about a can and a half, in my experiences) and it isn't huge and bulky! This handy little machine warms the bottle to the perfect tempature for baby to easily digest! Which was the biggest bonus in my oppinion,  no waiting 5 minutes for bottle warmer to warm up your bottle! The temp bar lets you know when the machine is at perfect tempature! There are also indicators to let you know when to add formula or water!

You have the option to make 2, 4, 6, 8, and even 10 oz bottles with a click of one single button! The best part? You can use ANY formula, there are different sized inserts that come with the machine for each formula, so the correct amount of formula is circulated and dispensed for each size bottle!

Another major bonus along with using any type of formula, is the abillity to use any size or shaped bottles! The rack adjusts up and down for different heights, and the machine Is wide enough to fit any bottle! I use multiple brands including dr. Browns that are very tall and tomee tippee brand that are extra wide! Both brands fit perfect!

Here is a video of the baby brezza in use!

This little machine really is magic. What's better then a machine that mixes the perfect amount of formula with water, warms it.. and leaves no clumps!!

Baby brezza is also working on a new line of colors! Though I don't believe they have a release date for the new colors, I will be sure to let you know when they do!

So there you have it- my take on the baby brezza formula pro! This is a must have for EVERY mommas registry! Is it on yours?

Any questions on the formula pro? Feel free to leave a comment, or send me an email to blog.heatherleeigh@gmail.com!
