If we're expecting a child, we can't avoid buying baby bottles either. A baby bottle may be needed even if the child is breastfed, especially if the child is formula fed.

A first-time mom stands between baby bottles and accessories in such a way that she only knows if it's a boy or a girl, because the child kicking her belly from the inside won't let her forget about it. There are so many brands, and of course they all promise something.

A baby bottle for something now reduces stomach ache to a minimum and perfectly imitates the shape of the nipple. Then there are the accessories: breast pumps, milk storage boxes (and bags), baby bottle sterilizing devices, baby bottle warmers, heat-retaining thermos covers, replaceable heads, drip-free drinking pads for later, handles, and of course the specially- baby bottle cleaning brushes designed-for-the-bottle.

What is a good baby bottle? Which brand should we choose? We asked the mothers around Poronty who uses what, what they like about it, what they don't like. And if that's the case, we were also wondering if they bought various Chilivili accessories, and if so, what they used and what they didn't use.

And before they go crazy, it's good if you know that several mums with dust completely skipped this whole thing, some never used a baby bottle, another had one for three children, but didn't buy any accessories, and it's also a waste of money holds the most.

It's worth keeping in mind that because we are the kind of people who breastfeed, we may still need to give the child some extra fluids, for example, in the summer, a little extra fluid comes in handy during the heat wave. But you don't have to buy a baby bottle just for that reason, the whole little one can drink from a spoon, or even from a glass from the age of a few weeks.

Before our non-representative survey, let's make it clear that no matter which baby bottle you choose, there are some important aspects that you must keep in mind.

1. The plastic must be BPA free. All normal glass manufacturers know this today, if they are not bought on the Chinese market, there will be no problem.

2. Make it cleanable normally. Whatever method is chosen for washing and sterilizing the glass, think through the process before purchasing. If, for example, you plan to sterilize the bottle by boiling it, choose one that has all the components that can handle it. I'm not a huge fan of constant sterilization, but it doesn't hurt every once in a while. At least before the child uses the stuff for the first time.

3. There is no single savior solution. What our girlfriend swears by, it just might not work out for us. We know someone who ended up being happy with the simplest test kós instead of expensive bottles of poison.

And then come the experiences of the Porontyközel moms about the best-known brands, and some interesting facts.

What add-on is needed?

Zsuzsa, Mikkamakka, Zsófi: none.

Andi: I needed a breast pump, it was a manual vent. To save space, I didn't use Aventus cups to freeze milk, but Medela bags, they fit much better in the freezer than cups, and I was able to thaw the frozen milk in them, albeit with a little caution. I sterilized very rarely, then I used the Lött, then I washed everything carefully, because I didn't believe it was necessary.

Judit: it was a hand-held Avent breast pump, and breast milk cups were given for it. It worked well and reliably, there were no problems with it, it was easy to clean and assemble. We received a sterilizer, which was also good, simple and fast. By the way, the glasses are good, they close well, they have graduations, and I can freely use the unnecessary, unused pieces to measure smaller quantities in the kitchen, plus I can take water with them on the road - since there are no baby bottles, this was always the only option with us..

Kata: we bought everything from accessories/accessories at the first - as careful parents with a first child - if there was a moon ferry that matched the baby bottle, we would have bought it too, so there is a sterilizer (microwave, water-steam) it worked perfectly (we don't use it for the second one, we only do the dishes), there is a baby bottle warmer, it also worked perfectly, it doesn't make sense, because the food heats up perfectly in the microwave, but then it seemed essential, and we even have a thermos, it also fulfills its task: hot/cold holds the food/water.

R. Andi: I got an Aventos breast pump, I got to know milking very well because Anna was born prematurely and didn't learn to suck. After a while, I gave up trying to breastfeed + feeding + milking combo. I've had both electric and manual, the manual worked better for me. (But later, when it became clear that I needed to adjust to this lifestyle, I borrowed a hospital-grade Medela). Sterilizer: this was also very necessary, I bought a Philips kettle recently, there were no problems with it.

Petra: After hearing horror stories about inflammation of the tendon sheath resulting from manual milking, I bought a Medela mini electricity. I LOVED it. It was very easy to milk with it, practically you don't have to do anything, just dab it on the breast. In the first week - because of my bleeding breasts - I used the nipple shield, I reduced the strength of the suction, and it hurt less. Then I bought the soft funnel for it, but it didn't fit properly on the breast like the hard plastic one, so I don't recommend it at all. My breasts settled quickly, and everything went smoothly after that. I used this for both kids.

What add-on is needed?

  • Breast pump
  • Breast milk storage cup or bag
  • Sterilizer
  • Sterilizing liquid
  • Thermos
  • Baby bottle warmer
  • None

Svazazok It's so bad that it makes a loud noise, I can't hear the TV, in the morning I hid in the laundry room to milk so as not to wake up the family. Once I went for a day while still breastfeeding, I retired to the toilet of the restaurant to milk (I locked myself in a toilet - it works with batteries) the stunned silence of the girls who came by, and then I heard their brutal laughter. They must have thought it was vibrating.

I used the avent from the breast milk cup, it closes very well, the size is good. Later, I stored portioned vegetables in it in the freezer, and today we store spices in it.

We didn't have a sterilizer. We soaked the stuff in the Chicco, or as it is called, disinfecting ball from time to time. We used this all the time in the first month, after that we just wash the dishes. We inherited the bottle and baby food warmer, but it's very practical for traveling.

Virág: I have an Avent manual breast pump that works, although I haven't used it much. The sound of the electric little buzzer was so strange to me that I preferred to pump it by hand. There was a mother's milk cup, in which I stored the milk and later the baby food that I cooked and took with us. Now, for the second child, I want to get a warmer, because if formula has to be given now, then I don't want to start mixing and warming formula for the screaming child in the middle of the night, but I just take out the already prepared portion and that's it. At least, that's what reassures me now.

Avent

When talking about baby bottles, you can't avoid Avente, which is probably the best-known brand on the field, most of our team used it, five of the moms interviewed were Aventes.

The big advantage of Aventes stuff is that it really has everything and everything is compatible with everything. We like that they are easily available, anything can be easily replaced - although nothing is cheap. The bottles easily serve several children, only the silicone pacifier needs to be changed from time to time.

Review (Kata):

We are Avent believers, we started with the first one, and then we stayed like that. We've never had any problems with it, none, both children love it, we have experience with both very small and large babies. It didn't cause pacifier problems, I fed the second one when he was one and a half months old while we were in the hospital with his pneumonia.

There is only one annoying thing: there is a version of the pacifiers that requires a plastic ring to seal the bottle, thanks to this, my mother has several times they also poured 150 grams of formula down both children's necks because they forgot to put it in. This did not happen to us. Well, not often.

Opinion (R. Andi)

We became Aventes. There was no awareness of it, it came off the shelf when I bought it completely ignorant..

Regarding Aventos baby bottles, I was puzzled as to why there is an extra ring that needs to be put on the top of the bottle and the pacifier has to be screwed on like this, because of course you sometimes forget and a child soaked in milk it will end every time. Aventos cups have worked well: I took the baby food everywhere in it, it didn't spill. I also hated the fact that you could hardly see the quantity division (on the glasses).

Tommee Tippee

Tommee Tippee stuff also has a serious fanbase, but it cannot be denied that far fewer people know the brand here than, say, in England, where Zsófi gave birth to her first child. TT also sells quite a lot of things, so if someone also casts their vote, they will still find all the necessary - and unnecessary - accessories. Two dusty mamas used TT bottles.

Opinion (Zsófi)

When I gave birth to my first child in England, everyone swore by the TT stuff, I also bought them - and I didn't change them for the second either. I used the kind of bottle for stomachaches, I don't know if that was the reason, but none of them had stomachaches very often. I liked that it was shaped like my breast, and also that the waist of the bottle narrowed, so it was comfortable to hold - and later the child was able to hold it easily when he drank on his own.

What I didn't like was that the rubber part sometimes collapsed as it sucked. Oh, and it included a small rubber ring that had to be looked after inside, and if I didn't notice that it fell, the whole child was soaked in milk.

NUK

We did not find a NUK package, only a solitary bottle
We did not find a NUK package, only a solitary bottle

Some people are fans of NUK products with a characteristically shaped pacifier, while others can't stand them. In the dusty team, there is also someone who has remained loyal to the brand through three children, and there is also someone who inherited one, but the child refused to eat it.

Opinion: Gréti

We inherited NUK baby bottles from my sister when my first son was born. For those who were not willing to touch anything else, this was the only type of pacifier that could be considered. With the second and third children, we automatically stayed with this, there was already a lot of everything, we didn't want to switch to another system. I loved these, they worked for us.

However, it is incomprehensible to me that this new kind of ortho bottle is designed in such a way that the cap does not touch the pacifier, but there is space between them. That is why the liquid in the bottle regularly spills first into the cap and then into my bag. It's pretty lame that when we go somewhere, I have to make sure to take the old ones.

Prices:

Baby bottle, 150 ml: 1590-1790

MAM

One of the most important marketing messages of MAM baby bottles is that the bottom of the bottle with valves can also be unscrewed, so it is much easier to keep them clean than the traditional type. The valves are designed to ensure that the child does not swallow air. And the jars are also self-sterilizing in the microwave, whatever that means.

Since we did not find any MAM users in the Porontyos team, we rely on internet reviews for the review.

On Amazon, MAM's baby bottle was rated by 152 people and received an average of four stars out of five, and more than half of users (88 people) gave it the maximum - so the vast majority are satisfied with this product.

What most people mention as a defect is the leakage at the bottom of the bottle. Many people write on both English and Hungarian forums that if they pressed the bottom of the bottle too hard, the milk didn't come out, but if it wasn't enough, then it leaked there too. In addition, many Hungarian mothers wrote that MAM bottles cannot be used in baby bottle warmers, because the heat causes the stuff to flow out of the bottle at the bottom.

Prices:

Baby bottle, 160 ml, anti-colic (non-breasted): HUF 1,190 on sale

Sterilizer, microwave: HUF 6,000

Breast pump, manual: HUF 12,000 Breast milk container, 5 pcs (with lid): HUF 2,000

And the interesting things

Dr. Brown's

Dr. Brown's is an emerging baby bottle brand. For the time being, only a part of the product range is available here, and we have to look for it, but on Amazon, for example, it received 4 stars based on the evaluation of 239 users, of which 120 people gave it the maximum rating.

In principle, this reduces abdominal pain in a hypersuper way, like nothing else on earth - at least according to the company's marketers. Among the reviewers, many swear that it is true, but there are quite a few who write that the child's tummy did not hurt any less than with any other bottle.

Stainless steel

Kiki's stainless steel baby bottles are said to be so anti-bacterial that, well. What's cool is that you can order it in a lot of colors (in principle, because practically there is only purple in the newborn size right now), and they work not only with their own pacifiers, but also with a lot of other manufacturers, e.g. the aforementioned Dr. Also with Brown's, MAM, and Avent's sportivoka.

The scale is inside the bottle, so they think you can read exactly how much is in the bottle - well, if someone has tried it, tell me if it's really true. And the funniest thing is that if we have already bought the steel baby bottle, we can also buy a plastic (well, silicone) cover for it for a small extra cost.

Full silicone is a luxury item

I don't know if there are any of our readers who would like to pay HUF 24,000 for a baby bottle, but if there are, we recommend Mamachi's bottles to them. It's 120 dollars a piece, I hope for that much it comes with at least one cap, if it's not already in the picture (and description).

Mamachi's bottle is $120, and for that price, it's made entirely of silicone. We can only hope for the existence of the cap

The designer baby bottles

If the child cannot start life without Dolce Gabbana, Fendi or Young Versace baby bottles, buy them here.
