ok, so talk about "white people problems" haha Im sitting here looking up customer reviews on different bottles. Seriously?! haha
Im torn. I dont know which brand to go to, Dr Browns or Avent. I received both at my baby shower, because I registered for both, because when you finally get to that section you are so over the registry and I didnt know you arent suppose to have different types of bottles, because nipples are different and babies grown custom to certain things, geez louise.
So heres my white person problem. Dr. Browns are suppose to be better, BUT harder to wash. Well I do not have a dish washer and I hand wash everything. If Dr. Browns are harder to wash, that means ugh harder for me to wash by hand. Im just venting and being a snob right now. Its just with a newborn am I really going to want to deal, NO! but I will. because really who has the right to complain about something so not important. Plus I can sterilize, so everything will be fine.
I just wanted to vent a little, who knew all these little things mattered. One thing I do NOT want to become that mother that over thinks, over processes, and over spends for useless shit. My mom raised me with what was available at the time, which lets face it, in the 80s baby stuff wasnt as fancy as it now, and I am healthy. So why freak out. I see some of the things moms talk about on their blogs, or websites and I think to myself, are you fucking kidding me?! You really can justify spending 1000 on a stroller because you like the way it looks? NO. not ok.
Ok dont know how I got there from Dr Browns vs Avent! haha obviously I have more on my mind than just the right types of bottles.
You don't know me, and I am far from a bottle expert BUT my sister just had a baby a few months ago and uses the Dr Brown bottles. She started him on Avent, and at 5 weeks old he started getting to be really fussy. Turns out he had "colic". Now, I don't know if the bottles had any to do with it- but she switched him to Dr Browns and he got better over time. Now the colic is gone, and my sister would swear by Dr Browns. She won't use anything other than it now. As far as cleaning the bottles, yes Dr Browns has the extra little things to clean but not so much a pain in the butt. Pretty easy cleaning. Whatever choices you make, momma always knows best. I wish you all the best with your sweet baby boy!
