need new emergency bottles please help..

the girls now use mostly sippies through out the day but if we are out sophia likes her bottle and at night they still like the bottle.. so i stopped using dr browns when they turned one and used regular supermarket gerber etc.. well too much gas..and the nipples stink!!! they get clogged etc !! now they are on 2nd year formulas and thats were the nipple gets stuck.. it totally is annoying.. i want to get new bottles which do u recommend .. go back to dr browns? or get something differennt"? i dont want to deal with the inserts i thought i was beyond that now.. help @!!!!

 

Have you thought about doing straight sippies? LIke the Nuby ones with the spout....those are probably closest to a bottle and I believe are the easiest to transition.

 

I agree with Jennifer. You might want to try to go to just sippies. We used playtex bottles before we got rid of bottles at 1.

 

yes like i said they use the sippies throughout the day but sometimes for some reason when we are out sophia likes her bottle..and at night they have a bottle before bedtime... just for the time being i need suggestions on which to purchase.

 

I wouldn't buy new bottles. Personally, I would do a little bit of tough love and only offer the sippies. If they take milk from them at other times, they can definitely handle it and it will only take a little bit of time before they realize no more bottles and if they want to drink, it's the sippy cup. If you aren't up for that, then I would just stick with the Dr. Browns. I don't see the point in getting new bottles and it sounds like any without the inserts would cause gas and therefore be a waste of money. JMHO. Good luck. I remember hating the transition with one of my daughters. She didn't drink well for a while and we finally switched to the straw sippy cups and she's been fine ever since.

 

We use Nuby soft spouts at night and those work well for us.

 

I agree with the PP--sounds like a great time to wean them off bottles..even the night one. We did that at 1 year. It was hard, but gotta do it sometime!

Mine are bottle lovers...thought I would never get them off bottles...they won't take milk in a sippy at all (all four of my kids have been like this...I have NO idea why!!). These Nuby soft spout they took to right away. I ditched every bottle I had that day and just started them on these and there was no issue whatsoever. I told them it was a big girl (boy) bottle.

Give it a try they are cheap and don't leak usually.

 

i went out today and i bought the nubys...the one with the straw...and the short bottles .. u know the short fat ones just for at nighttime... they did well with the straws.. and they liked the other bottles.. how do i transition them to a sippy at night?

 

Start by only offering them the sippy before bed and have the bottle close by but out of sight...they may whine a bit but if it is not an all out fit just let it go. I had this same problem with my boys morning bottles just around the time they turned one. They also loved the bottle when we were out but I just keep giving them the sippy, it took about a week and I had no more problems. The fact that they are taking the sippy all day is a huge plus, if it takes a week or two to eliminate that last bottle, so be it but I would not let it linger. GL!
