Which bottle to choose? (Dr. Brown's Research)

Well, I think I have hinted to Mike enough times that it is time to START our registry, that we may actually start one! :)  We've decided to register at Babies "R" Us and Amazon.com, more details on that to come in a following post!  However, before officially starting a registry, I knew that I would need to research quite a few items.  One of those items being BOTTLES!  There are so many choices and I really had no idea where to start!  I had been looking online and it seemed that there were four top runners which included: 

Dr. Brown's, Medela, Phillips Avent and Munchkin Latch

Here is the summary of my findings on Dr. Brown's bottles: 

Important Notes:  These bottles are unique because as your baby is feeding, air is channeled from the nipple through the vent system and straight to the back (bottom) of the bottle, bypassing  the breastmilk/formula.  This allows air to never mix with the breastmilk or formula which also allows for minimal oxidation and vitamin preservation. This ventilation system helps to reduce feeding problems associated with colic, spit-up, burping and gas.

Bottle Options

• Standard: (Available sizes: 2 oz. / 4 oz. / 8 oz.) These bottles have a traditionally narrow shape and the silicone nipple has a standard profile.

• Wide-Neck: (Available sizes: 4 oz. / 8 oz.) This wide-neck bottle claims to have a more ergonomic design that says it’s easier to fill and to hold.  The silicone nipple on this bottle has a wider/broader base and apparently some moms that breastfeed prefer these nipples to the others.

• Glass: (Available sizes: 4 oz. / 8 oz) This bottle looks to be the same concept of the standard bottle but in a glass bottle design and the silicone nipples are identical to the ones that come with the standard bottle.  The silicone bottle sleeves are available to purchase separately.

• Pink & Blue: (Available sizes: 4 oz. / 8 oz) These bottles and nipples are identical to the standard design, however, these allow you to cater more towards the gender of your baby with the blue and pink design.
