We inherited a stash of at least 20 different styles, types, shapes, and sizes of bottles, nipples, etc. Even though I knew we really wanted old-fashioned glass bottles, we gave these a try in the meantime. In a search for the right thing to keep Ellen happy without too much gas we went through at least 4 nipple styles and several more bottle types. Some worked okay, but not great. Some of the more commonly touted styles only served to annoy our little girl with their slow flow and inadequate throughput. Some just collapsed under the incredible power of her tiny lips. Others just worried Mom and Dad with potential off-gassing and other ickiness.
The truth is, our instincts were dead on from the beginning -- we have one classic 4 oz glass bottle that works perfectly with little gassiness -- they fit perfectly with the hand-me-down tri-flow collars and nipples we already had to keep the flow right for demanding Ellen!
Fortunately, I see that our Amazon registry enabled my awesome cousin and her partner to send a set of 4 oz and 8 oz bottles on their way to us. It is the perfect blend of 21st century technology with tried-and-true hardware from several centuries ago!
