UrbanBaby Asks...
Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

I have newborn twins and have been trying the BornFree #1 Nipple which is slow flow. All the sucking seems to be exhausting them. Any recomendations on alternate nipples that might be easier. Thx.
10 replies [ Reply | Watch | MoreI also hate BF for leaking and too many parts. I loved Avent. But in terms of slow flow, you can just go up to the next nipple flow and solve the problem if you want to stick with BF. The slowest newborn flow was only really good for the baby I breastfed, not my bottle bed only baby.
[ Reply | More ]The best bottles are the Playtex Drop-Ins. Always clean, no air bubbles swallowed, and the nipple is designed to mimic breastfeeding. I am a mom of twins too - still breastfeeding at 12 months old. They used the bottle a bit but I had to return to work after my oldest (singleton) was born and I pumped for him. So he was on the Playtex Drop-ins during the day from 4 months on.
[ Reply | More ]I used Dr. Browns for my firstborn and even though cleaning all the extra parts was cumbersome, I felt they did help prevent gassiness. When I had the twins a couple of years later, the thought of having to clean two x the bottles plus all the extra parts was a non-starter. Also, the alert level about BPA levels in plastic was really ramping so we switched to Born Free. Not as good bottles overall IMHO but worked fine. I breastfed all three kids in the early going so not familiar with the #1 nipples but like other responders, I have always experimented with more "advanced" nipples when it seemed too laborious for the babies. Good luck... the first year with twins is a challenge!
