Best Baby Bottles 2017 - Dr Brown's, Comotomo, AVENT, etc.

We pulled together 13 of the most popular baby bottles and put them to the test. Filled them, shook them upside-down, dishwashed them, warmed them, fed 4 different babies with them, and tried out the various nipple flows. Then we scoured the internet for reviews, did informal focus groups with over a dozen moms, polled moms through our website, and pulled together our reviews. In the end, we found several awesome options that are high performing, low colic, and reliable. And of course all of these are BPA-free bottles. These include some classic go-to options like the Dr. Brown's, and some relative newcomers like the Comotomo and Tommee Tippee.
Before we get into the reviews, we want to stress that baby bottles are not a one-size-fits-all solution. Every baby latches and suckles a bit differently, every baby is comfortable with a different nipple length, width, and flow, and every baby is more or less prone to gas and colic. The secret is to try at least a few options to figure out what works best with your baby. Of course, that approach can get expensive and time consuming, but it's likely well worth it for your baby's comfort (and your sanity!). Also, if you're switching between breast feeding and bottle feeding, you will likely find success with the nipples that are more like natural breasts, like you'll find with the Comotomo and Tommee Tippee (see below). The more the nipple feels like mom's, the easier your baby will transition between bottle and breast. If you're exclusively bottle feeding, then you wont need to worry about this as much, and something like the Dr. Brown's, AVENT, or Born Free options might be perfect for you. We review all of these below.
We also want to make sure you realize that BPA-free does not mean that the plastics used will not leach estrogenic chemicals into milk, particularly when the plastics are stressed (like heated or microwaved). In fact, a recent study published in Environmental Health demonstrated that several BPA-free plastic products still leached harmful chemicals. For example, the plastic used in Nalgene water bottles (called Tritan plastic) leaches estrogenic chemicals. Of course, nobody knows the short- or long-term consequences of this, but it is worth considering. In comparison, the study found no evidence that two particular plastics, COC and COP, do not appear to leach these chemicals. Overall, because of the potential risks associated with estrogenic chemicals being leached from plastics, we highly recommend glass baby bottles (check out the Dr. Brown's, Joovy Boob, and Avent glass versions, below).

Best Baby Bassinets 2017 When our first born arrived, my mother-in-law dropped off an old bassinet from the early 80's, the one my husband slept in as a baby. It was a big wicker basket lined with an old yellowed cotton sheet, with a 1-inch thick vinyl covered mattress with a big gap between the sides of the bassinet and its edge. It was up on folding wooden legs with plastic spinner wheels. It tipped easily, the legs accidentally folded if they bumped something (or if you kicked them a bit), there was little to no air circulation for the baby, and the mattress was ill fitted. Not to mention it was nearly impossible to find the right size sheet!  Needless to say, I kindly declined using the dated bassinet for overnight sleeps. Instead we put it in the dining room so we'd only use it while we were within reach and could keep a close eye on our baby. Mom was a little offended that I didn't want to use it ("it was good enough for him! he turned out OK!"), but t...

Best Baby Bassinets 2017 6. Arm's Reach Concepts Cambria CoSleeper Bassinet . Looking for a co-sleeper? This will be your best bet, though it's somewhat hard to find. Sharing a bed with a newborn is such a beautiful intimate experience for mom and a newborn baby. But due to SIDS and suffocation risk, many pediatricians do not recommend it. Instead, some bassinets are specifically designed to make co-sleeping safer by putting the baby right up next to mom, but in its own little bassinet. The HALO (#1, above) is a great example of that, but quite a bit more expensive than this unit. Co-sleepers are generally more expensive than traditional bassinets, but moms love them especially if they have undergone a C-section and need to restrict their movement. This bassinet is basically a no-frills co-sleeper with some great basic features. It has a lot of mesh on the sides to help breathability, a thin and firm mattress (like it's supposed to), and we found it very easy to raise ...
