BreastFlow will be best for breast feeding, they have ones with liners too. They are designed like the breast, not just looks, but functions, baby won't over eat, no nipple confusion, it's the best. Trust me.

I used AVENT with my daughter who is now 5 and they were excellent, but this time with my 6mod they leak everywhere.

I am using born free as wel as my sister in law, they are amazing!! and easier to clean than the dr borwns and cheaper then having to buy bags for the playtex. I also work at a daycare and chilren with this bottle learn to hold it themselves sooner because of the shape!!

Dr. Brown bottles were a lifesaver for me and my twins. The difference was really amazing when we switched.

For me with my daughter we used Avent from the beginning and we have not had any problems. she took to the nipple very well and now that she is 7 months she hold her bottle with out a problem and we have no problem with leaks. Her weight gain is right on target and she is going to be a big girl like daddy.

My son is almost 4 months old and we love the Dr. Brown's bottles! They truly make a difference. However, they may not be the best bottle to use while breastfeeding until you and your little one are really good at it. I had intended to breastfeed exclusively but had to supplement to keep my son's weight up and the Dr. Brown's nipples increased nipple confusion for my son. I was never able to breastfeed exclusively once we started using bottles so be careful. I ended up having to pump and feed my son both breast milk and formula from a bottle and it broke my heart because I was so set on breastfeeding. It affected my milk supply and made my post partum depression worse than it already was. So wait as long as you can to use a bottle and if you have to use one early on I would suggest one designed to simulate breastfeeding. Once your breastfeeding is well established or you switch to formula, go with Dr. Brown's!

We've used tommie tippee and Dr. Browns. Started with Born free and they seem to work best for us. Good luck!

My daughter had a lot of gas problems, we tried so many different formulas before we finally switched to Playtex drop ins. They are the best bottles ever, she was burping so much better and her gas problems subsided. I would recommend them for any baby. Especially for a breastfed baby who also receives formula as a supplement.

We love the Dr. Browns bottles. I did my research & read reviews to see what people thought of them. Yes they do reqiure a lot of parts but I personally dont think its that big of a deal because I think the bottles work great. My husband has even tried them out & said he couldnt suck in air in. My only compliant would be is I think my baby is finished with the formula so I take the bottle out & as soon as I turn it right side up more milk comes out of the clear long tubey part. I try to put it back in her mouth to finish off the last little bit but she wont take it.

Dr Brown's..... My baby NEVER got colic but you do have little more work with cleaning them. There are multiple nipples that you will have to buy thoughout your babys life with the bottle but deffently recommend them! Yes again expencive BUT you would rather have a HAPPY BABY then a gassy baby. GOOD LUCK & CONGRATS!
