this bottle is excellent to my baby
I just changed this bottle from glass evenflow (4oz) to born free for 3 weeks because my baby now is 10 month old and she dislikes formula at this time.
I did use Dr. Brown for my first kid before. However, I have problem on cleaning this bottle. It is really hard to clean the straw which must be used in the bottle. Whenever I washed this bottle, I needed to use small brush to clean the straw every time.... Too many stuff. You would not like to take more time on this part.
Now I am happy to have this born free, no more straw. Everything is easy to clean. My second baby safely and gradually drinks a lot. It seems that she starts to accept formula after using born free. A perfect product.

Worth the effort and price
There is an extra attachment that I didn't know about (the anti-drip nozzle that goes over the opening of the bottle), which makes handwashing a chore. But overall worth it, due to it's safe non-chemical plastics. Worth the money, too, as safety is a top priority for me. It's worth spending the extra few dollars to ensure safety.

LOVE is an understatement!
My son has been using Born Free bottles since he was about a month old. He had horrible colic, and were trying different formulas and bottles. We came across these in Longs, and decided to try them out, and never looked back.
In combination with Nutramigen formula these bottles are the best thing that has ever been created. They are comfortable to hold while feeding my son, and hold 9oz. (about 10-11oz if you fill to the brim)
They were a bit touchy at first but once I got the hang of it, its easy as pie. The trick is to NOT tighten them tight, but not to loose. The system isnt a hassle. For people who complain that its SO hard to figure out... you must be totally stupid. Read the directions that came in the box, it clearly states how to if you can figure it out for yourself.
Occasionally the little vent thing will not vent but then I just take off the bottle and the vent and push the vent nob thingy in so the slit will open, and then reassemble.
Best bottles ever created...period.
Try them, and ignore the idiots.

replacement for avent product
These bottles and nipples have worked well for my granddaughter. My daughter had been using Avent products before realizing that the Avent products were not BPA free. Since it wasn't worth taking a chance, she has replaced those bottles with the BornFree brand. These are a quality product and have worked well.

Just ok
I bought these bottles to replace our Avent bottles, due to BPA concerns. These bottles are ok, but I like Dr. Brown's better. I use a Medela breast pump and the Born-Free bottles, like the Avent bottles, do not fit on the pump. The Dr. Brown's bottles do fit the Medela pump connectors. Like other reviewers have stated, the nipples on these bottles collapses and there are extra parts that seem useless, just more stuff to clean. It is easier for my son to hold the Dr. Brown's bottles also. I would not recommend these, there are far better bottles out there, we also use Momo glass bottles, and I am very pleased with them.

the best bottles
I absolutely love these bottles! We tried advent first, he hated them, tried medela..was too gassy from them, tried Dr.browns a little imprvement but i hated the orange residue always left on the vent system. then broke down and shelled out the bucks for these and my baby has been happy ever since. his gassiness basically went away, he never has inerrupted feedingd. these are easier to clean then the dr. browns and they are bpa free. he is 5 months and always wants to hold the bottle himself, of course i hold it straight at the bottom for him, but this was definetly money well spent. but, it would be nice if they can make them a bit more affordable, especially for us on a tight budget.

Good bottles
I think these have been really good bottles for my 2nd daughter and that they really do reduce gas. With my first child we used the Avent bottles and she was gassy all the time. Now with my 2nd we switched to these and she's been doing great. Both were on breastmilk only. I also have never had them leak as others have said. The only time they've leaked is when I forgot the middle pieces.

Love it
I wanted to buy glass bottles after reading about the dangers of using plastic bottles containing BPA . I was worried at first since my daughter loves the nipple on the Gerber Nuk bottles but when I gave her her first bottle she loved it. The nipple is soft and the flow is perfect. She has GERD and we just took her off her meds so changing bottles was a little stressful but it all turned out great. It's a little pricey, about 10 bucks per bottle but it's all worth it to switch to a BPA free bottle!!!!!!!

I like them!
I switched to these bottles from the Platex Nursers because my son was having tummy aches after his bottles. I wanted a BPA free bottle and these seemed to be the best. My son has a better latch on these nipples and I LOVE that they are 9 oz instead of 8 oz so there is plenty of room to add the powdered formula (unlike my previous bottle). Because of the venting system, we stir the formula with a spoon instead of shaking them. Or, spin in between your palms with the bottle upright if not at home. This cuts down on bubbles in the formula.

There are a few steps to assembling them, but I don't mind. It just takes a moment longer. BEWARE many of the reviews below specifically list GLASS bottles, even though these are the BPA plastic bottles. I've NEVER had one of these bottles leak. Not ever!

You should let the parts dry before assembling them for better air flow, but that's no big deal for us. The only complaint I have is that it's difficult to get the vents for them because of high demand. I'm glad that people are being educated about BPA and hopefully the company will be able to catch up on manufacturing the vents. Other than that, I love them, and more importantly, my son is doing really well on them!!!

Dr. Brown is way better
I wish I had believed the negative review before I purchased these bottles. Their venting system is not good. I can see lots of bubbles come out when my baby takes his milk. The worst part is when I first screw the nipple on, and test the milk flow, the milk will actually gush straight out, which could potentially choke my baby. I have to unscrew them, and then tight the top part again. Do it at least three times. You can imagine there is no fun doing this with a hungry baby in your arms crying for food. In fact, my baby got mad so many times with these bottles that I have to stop using them. Dr. Brown is way way better, although it is not BPA free. I am not sure about BPA part, but I am sure my baby does not like these "Born free" bottles.
