Dr Browns
We settled on using Dr Brown bottles at around 3-4 months to help with wind problems. My LO is now over 7 months and I'm wondering if we should change again. Is there any point in using Dr Browns at this age?
They are a pain to wash/sterilise and he has also started leaking milk from his mouth during feeds, so much that he ends up drenched and that is with using a bib! We've been using fast flow since we started, so I don't think that's an issue.
Would be nice to know what others have done or if you've any advice on the leaking, thanks xx

We used TT Anti Colic bottles which had a big valve running through it but decided to just use normal TT CTN at about 4 months as he was able to get his wind up much better.
At 7 months they are able to sit upright better and therefore able to dispel of the wind themselves easier I find. My DS has been fine on normal bottles since we stopped xx
I settled with boot's own BPA free bottles as they were cheap & after spending a small fortune on doc brown bottles, sterilizer etc i didn't want to buy another dearer brand. Our little boy has been absolutely fine with the change too.
Hope this helps xxx

We switched to Avent and didn't have any problems - we used the variflow teats as T's milk was a thicker kind.
Now he's 14 months and on cows milk he's having TT bottles.
Oh yes, we tried them all!
Good luck xxx
