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.

Congrats on your baby! đź’› 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.
