I'm a first-time mom due in November. What brand of baby bottles have worked for you? I heard Dr. Brown's bottles are good but are a pain to wash because they have so many parts.

Grosmimi's PPSU Baby Bottles were our little one's go-to bottles. The durability of PPSU is next level—it doesn’t stain or absorb odors like some other bottles, and it holds up so well even after endless sterilizations. The anti-colic straw system actually works, making feeding time smoother with way less gas and fussiness. The 360° weighted straw is so useful because it lets babies drink from any angle, which is perfect when they start grabbing the bottle themselves. The sleek design is just a bonus—it looks great and feels premium. Definitely worth it if you want a high-quality, hassle-free bottle for your baby.

Congrats on your baby! 💛 As a fellow mom, I totally get wanting a bottle that’s easy to clean but also great for baby. I personally use the Pigeon SoftTouch™ Peristaltic Plus Bottles, and they've been amazing. 

When my baby was around 6 weeks old, we hit a rough patch with bottle-feeding. I was mainly nursing, but I wanted a bottle that would mimic breastfeeding so my partner could help with feeds. We had already tried a few brands, but my baby kept rejecting them or getting too gassy.

Enter the Pigeon SoftTouch™ Peristaltic Plus. I was skeptical at first, but the super soft, stretchy nipple made a huge difference. It actually compressed and moved like the breast, which helped my baby latch onto it much more easily. I also noticed fewer hiccups and spit-ups, thanks to the built-in vent.

Not surprisingly, Pigeon is a top hospital-recommended brand in Japan and widely used in NICUs. I think the bottles are a lot more popular there than in the States. They're a little harder to find offline, mostly they're not as well known, but I got them online, so no problem there. 

Another thing I loved? The bottle was so lightweight, which made it easy for my baby to hold as they got older. Plus, fewer parts = easier cleaning (a total win when you’re washing bottles all day).

Honestly, Pigeon saved us during that transition phase, and I always recommend it to parents struggling with bottle refusal. If you love high-quality bottles with a baby-friendly design, this could be a great new addition to your collection.

For my baby, Hegen bottles worked really well. I discovered the brand at a baby fair when I was pregnant last year. I liked the fact that the bottle can "grow" with the baby. With different lids or attachments, a single Hegen bottle can be used as a milk bottle, a sippy cup, or a container for solids and snacks. 

I also find cleaning the bottle much easier than other traditional bottles with round necks - the wider, square opening is easier to reach and clean.
