thinkbaby Product Changes
We received feedback from our customers that the flow rates of the bottles was too fast for newborns and that the single hole style of nipple allowed fluid to continuously pour.
With the feedback received, we introduced a new style of nipple called the Cross Cut. The benefits of the cross cut is that it does not let fluid pour out when held upside down. In addition, we slowed the flow rate of the nipples that come with the bottle. We should mention here that both the 5oz and 9oz come outfitted with slow flow cross cut nipples.
As we have slowed down the flow rate significantly, we suggest purchasing the appropriate flow rate for your child. Our recommendations are as follows:
0 to 2 or 3 months - Cross Cut Slow Flow
3 to 6 months - Cross Cut Medium Flow
6 to 1 year - Cross cut Fast Flow
We typically suggest that parents move to our sippy cup around 9 months. The sippy cup also features the cross cut and can be held upside down without liquid pouring out.
Although, we are extremely focused on paying attention to chemical safety, we also didn't set out to create a company that wasn't responsive to it's users.
If you ever have questions, please feel free to email us at info@thinkbabybottles.com.

It is nice to have options...
Delighted to find a bottle that is bpa free and wide neck. After being bpa free the best feature is that you can use other wide neck nipples with the bottle. This is great because even with the new cross cut nipples my baby will find the nipple sucked down into the bottle when she is only about 1/2 finished with the milk. It is rather a pain to have to fix this for her 1-3 times a feeding. Bottle shape makes them easier for babies to hold themselves, this is a plus. :) I do feel they are a bit on the pricey side, but I feel that will balance out as more manufacturers realize that parents want bpa free bottles. Over all a decent bottle, but she drank from the Soothie bottle a lot better, too bad it contains bpa.

Horrible
This is third time I'm trying to write a review for this bottle. Somehow it keeps not getting posted. These bottles are absolutely unsuable to due the nipples collapsing so badly. These collapse worse than EvenFlo. I was so excited get these...they were so cute and seemed so promising with BPA free option. I wanted something to replace my Dr. Brown glass bottles to avoid having to wash so many parts but the nipples not only collapse, they twist and get sucked into the bottle. I tried so many times to adjust cap, nipples, vent position, and finally gave up and returned what I could. I emailed the company and no reply after 2 weeks. I wouldn't waste your money and time on these. I'm back to Dr. Browns but will be trying Born Free soon.

thinkbaby bottles, awesome!!!
My son loves these bottles. They are so nice and easy to clean but they are pricey. After switching from Dr. Brown's bottles because of BPA to Momo's glass bottles and Evenflo's glass bottles(without BPA) but then they were easily break. I then switched them to Evenflo's plastic bottles(without BPA). Evenflo's bottles were reasonable but the nipples were too hard for my son to suck on so I had to replace them with Medela's nipples. They were better but they leaked sometimes.
I am glad that I ordered thinkbaby bottles. These bottles don't leak at all. Now my next mission is to get a sippy bottle for my son.

Love them!
I am surprised to read these reviews. I haven't experienced any problems with leaky nipples or even to fast of a flow. My son is 3 months and we were using Avent. This was a very easy switch for him. The nipples didn't even drip when turned over and I decided to use the stage 1 nipple it came with, he drank easily and slow and steady. He had barely any spit up, and he was spitting up w/ everything else all the time. I did just get them so maybe I have the new nipples the company had told a few people were coming out, they are cross cut nipples but noting even drips out when turned upside down. I love these and so does my son. The only complaint I have is the same as another complained about and that is the cap isn't the one shown on the box and it doesn't fit very tightly so it could be an issue if you travel with full bottles.

Takes some getting used to... but worth it
We have twin daughters and have been using these bottles for about three weeks. After trying to decide between these and the Born Free, which we also purchased two of, we decided to use these the majority of the time.
One of the other reviewers is correct, there is a technique to using these bottles. The milk does come flying out when you turn it upside down and you're better off introducing it to your baby in more of a horizontal fashion until they start sucking. Once their sucking equalizes the pressure inside the bottle, it really does come out in just a drip. On first use when one of my daughters took a pause from sucking, I wondered why milk was not filling up her mouth and dribbling out. When I pulled it out of her mouth I saw just a drip... drip... drip. That said, I wouldn't recommend it for a newborn who is just learning the breathe/suck/swallow pattern. The flow does start off fast at first and it would be difficult for them to keep up long enough to equalize the pressure. But our 3.5 mo. old daughters have had no trouble. The venting system is unique and appears to work. We get one big burp after each feeding and that seems to be enough. And after using Dr. Brown's for so long (with our first daughter and now the twins), it is nice to no longer have a lot of parts to clean and keep track of!
Now for the obligatory list of pros and cons...
Pros:
1. Obviously... BPA free.
2. Unique venting system that works.
3. Contemporary design, comfortable to hold.
4. Not a lot of parts to keep track of.
5. The company is very prompt about returning emails regarding questions and product suggestions. I had an answer to mine within 6 hours and they are very receptive to suggestions.
Cons:
1. Fast flow initially.
2. No instruction leaflet included.
3. Flow levels are not marked on the nipples - I bought some medium flow nipples along with my initial purchase (they come with "slow flow") and quickly discovered there's no way to tell which is which other than on the packaging. So you have to just remember which ones you put where... not an easy task in a busy household.
4. There is no way to cap the bottle for storage other than to cover the bottle with the nipple and the clear travel cap that goes on top of it. AND you can't shake the bottle when it's full without covering the nipple with your finger. Putting the travel cap on over the nipple doesn't do the trick -- you end up with a travel cap full of milk.
As far as how I feel about these compared to the Born Free, the Born Frees are more expensive (to the point of almost gouging you) and their nipples are much softer. They may be too soft but on the plus side they do deliver milk in a dripping fashion instead of the initial stream of these, which may be preferable to some people. There are also added parts to keep track of (5 in all) but that's no big deal to anyone used to dealing with Dr. Brown's.
We have not had ANY problems with nipple collapse with either brand -- and we do a lot of feeding! However, on the Think Baby bottles the vent extends down into the bottle... and its placement is very close to the outside edge. If you're not careful it could get caught up in the threads while you're screwing it on. Maybe this is what is happening when other reviewers said they had collapsing problems.
Finally, it's worth noting that the plastic that ALL of the BPA-free bottles are made of could shatter when dropped much easier than standard BPA-laced polycarbonate. It is noticeably thinner and it will be interesting to see how long this type of plastic holds up.
In the end, we're happy with these bottles.

Not too bad comparing to Born Free
We bought 2 thinkbaby bottles and 2 Born Free bottles. In the beginning, we thought the Thinkbaby bottle nipple was too fast flow (even for stage 1) because the fluid just drips continuously instead of drop by drop. Our son choked on them in the beginning. So, we switched to Born Free. The nipples are super soft, and actually, too soft, although the flow is just right. We have now mastered how to hold the Thinkbaby bottle so that the flow is right. To do it right, hold the bottle more horizontally, instead of at 45 degree angle. It has been working for us for far, and prefer Thinkbaby than Born Free.
We'll order the new cut slow flow nipple from Thinkbaby and hopefully, they get it right this time.

As of yet...undecided
My son is 7 mos old and I work full time. For the first 6 mos. we used Avent bottles when he was not nursing - he was using stage 4. I don't know how I missed the BPA issue for 6 mos. but when I heard, I immediately switched to a BPA free bottle. We just tried ThinkBaby. I love the way they look and that they are BPA free but, in sharp contrast to others' reviews, I have found the medium flow nipple to be a very slow flow (I orded the medium flow cross cut). My son latches on easily and doesn't seem to have any gas but the slow flow frustrates him and it takes quite a while for him to eat 6 ounces. I think that the company has changed the size and type of holes in the nipples since some of these reviews were written, so I would suggest buying the size appropriate for your baby's age. As for the leaking, I've not experienced that at all. I've shook the full bottle, turned it upside down without a single drip. All in all, it seems like a good bottle. Just waiting on the level 3 nipples to be sure.

Cute BPA free bottle, very user friendly
My three month old baby girl loves her new thinkbaby bottles! It's easy to hold when I'm feeding her with the contour grips and it's designed to reduce colic with a tiny vent to let out air bubbles. My baby was a preemie so she's bit of a picky drinker regarding to the type and style of bottle/nipple she'll latch onto. With this bottle she drank all her milk within minutes! Would recommend this over Dr.Brown's glass bottles which could break easily!

nipples with NO holes!!
The nipples had NO holes. Not user error. This is our 3rd kid. We know when there is actually no hole in the nipple. All of them in the pack. Had to run to the store to buy a superior brand that actually had holes in the nipples so the child could actually eat. The superior brand was Born Free, a very similar bpa-free, baby and eco-friendly bottle sold at Whole Foods. Imagine having to run out emergency style to buy a whole new set of expensive bottles after just coming home from the hospital. Totally beside ourselves. Completely. Buy Born Free, much healthier than ThinkBaby, because the baby can actually eat something and get back to regaining it's birth weight. I don't normally spend my time writing reviews for stuff I buy on-line, especially with a newborn to take care of, so ponder that as well.
