Quality of Bottles Down Down Down

I have three children - aged 14, 8 & 2 years. I bottle fed all three children and used Playtex bottles for each of them. Because of the age difference, I've used different models of the bottle with each child. I was very pleased with my experience with my older two children; however, the new bottles that Playtex uses (that adjust/bend as needed) leak all of the time! In total I've used approximately 20 bottles both 4 & 8 oz size and all of them leak if tilted sideways with caps on! It's incredibly frustrating having to pack bottles in a diaper bag only to open the bag up and find leaked formula/milk all over because they were not kept upright. Because this is my final child and we invested so much in bottles and nipples, we will stick with the product until we are completely done with bottles. However, if I had known that I would have problems like this before hand, I would have opted for a different brand of bottle. The design needs a change!

Playtex® knows if there’s one thing you can count on with babies, it’s that everyone is unique. Some settle with white noise. Others love to be swaddled. Some are quiet. Others… well, not so much.
Figuring out your baby gets a whole lot easier when you have someone to turn to who’s been there and gets it — all of it. Playtex® helps you skip the trial and error process to give your baby the best feeding right from the start. The Playtex®Nipple Variety Pack is the first of its kind, offering four BPA-free nipples in different shapes and sizes to match your baby’s unique preferences, including:
• A NaturaLatch® Nipple: Most like Mother®
• A Breastlike Shape Nipple: Designed to mimic the breast
• A Fullsized Nipple: For wider mouths
• An Angled Nipple: For upright feeding

I received 4 nipples to try as well.
Angled Nipple which was great because my daughter has started to sit up to eat and this was great for upright feeding. She took to this nipple with no fuss. 2 others we tested were Breast like Shape Nipples and the other is Natural Latch Nipple my daughter took to this one right away no problem.
The Full sized Nipple this is made for wider mouths. My daughter would try and wrap her mouth around the nipple but it kept collapsing. This nipple might not be the right one for my daughter. It may be for your child, you never know till you try it.
VentAire bottle “For at-home feeding”
VentAire bottles was a great opportunity to try them seeing as my daughter was gulping too much air with the regular bottles. So this was our chance to try out! Great results, she has been able to eat slowly and no more spitting up her formula. I have seen a difference she has been a lot less discomfort after feeding. My daughter was always gassy and had the hiccups after feedings but not with the VentAire bottle! I highly recommend this bottle to our friends.
Nurser with Drop-In Liners
The Playtex Drop-Ins were fun seeing as its pre-sterilized disposable inserts means one less thing to boil! Using the Drop-Ins I was always squeezing the bag near the end to get all the milk out. You can still warm the bottle by using a sink of hot water it gets around the sides of the liner so it quickly warms the milk. It's fine. It's convenient. I found that it still gave the same good experience as the VentAire using Drop-Ins. I prefer using the VentAire bottle but you may like it!
