Avent natural bottles: apparently Avent came out with new nipples for their natural bottle line. I saved all my bottles from my son and bought new nipples for my daughter but they leak. Avent basically said sorry, here is a $10 coupon bc there is no manufacturer warranty.
Can you recommend a different bottle for a breastfeeding newborn who occasionally needs a bottle when I have an appt and need to be away (and gags on these slowest flow nipples).

I know Dr Browns gets a bad rep because it has more parts than other brands, but they make a preemie nipple if you’re looking for a slower flow.

Comotomo. Only thing my ebf boy will take without a fight. Worth every penny IMO.

I saved our Avent bottles too but we haven't used them yet. We're using the Dr Brown bottle with a preemie nipple that we used in the NICU. |

Just making my way to this board. I just ordered a bunch of avent natural nipples to use with my bottles from DD too- seriously they don’t work!? UGH.

I haven’t tried since bc my baby hates a bottle (yay me) Oh no 😔 DS has been supplemented from day 1 so he takes a bottle fine but it’s a small enough volume that we’ve just been using the little Medela bottles with the disposable nipples from the hospital. I’ll have to break our bottles out soon to test out. I’ve heard good things about Comotomo if I have to start over...but I’ll be really annoyed. |

Dg tried comotomo tonight and she wouldn’t take it but I was in the room and it was at dinner time so it was loud and distracting. He will try again when I’m not around and it’s quiet |

I have plastic Avent natural bottles from 4 years ago and bought new nipples this year for them. I do not have any issues with leaking. I have both 4 oz and 8 oz size bottles. So hopefully you guys have the same experience and don’t need to buy all new bottles.
